If Laura were here, Penny could have chatted with her about it. Then again, she remembered that she had discussed it with Laura before, which only sparked envy and jealousy.Penny rubbed her head as she felt a headache coming.Winona, observing her discomfort, thought Penny truly had a headache."Ms. Sullivan, why don't you take a break? You’ve been looking at files all day, and you're... probably tired from last night."Penny felt a bit awkward upon hearing this and instinctively looked down at her neck.Though somewhat concealed, the faint marks were still slightly visible. In the summer heat, it was impossible to wear a very high collar.She quickly pulled her collar up a bit.Winona sighed. "Mr. Fergerson really does have a lot of energy."It seemed that Caleb, who had called the previous night in apparent anger, was successfully appeased—and thoroughly so too.The marks were not severe, just a light pink, indicating the man had not been forceful.Penny lowered her hand s

Winona had been working overtime at the company until 3:00 am. She felt lightheaded as she descended the stairs.Just as she was about to get into her car, several men suddenly rushed out from the side. One of them struck her head with a stick, and she immediately passed out.The men, all wearing caps that were pulled down tightly, quickly dragged Winona into another car.Winona regained consciousness only after being doused with a bucket of cold water. As she lifted her head, she saw several masked men in front of her. The leader threw her phone toward her."Call Penny. Tell her to come and save you."It was clear they were targeting Ms. Sullivan.Initially, she refused to comply and turned her head away.The leader then squatted down, grabbed her hair, and forced her face upward before slapping her harshly."I advise you not to provoke us, or you'll have to entertain all five of us," he threatened.Winona's face turned aside from the impact, with blood trickling from the cor

When she arrived at the office, she was already late. She had cleaned herself up and adjusted her mindset.Upon entering the office, Penny was already there and noticed Winona's pale complexion."Winona, you look very pale. Do you have a fever?"Winona quickly touched her face, which felt a bit warm."I might have caught a cold last night, Ms. Sullivan. I'll just take some medicine. I'll be fine.""I'm sorry for involving you yesterday. I had Caleb investigate those kidnappers, and we now know who sent them. This won't happen again.""Ms. Sullivan, you don't need to apologize. I don’t think it’s a big deal."Her vision blurred as they talked. After a few more words, she returned to her desk and hastily took an Advil.She was very tired, but the pain in her body kept her awake. It was a torturous cycle.She managed to get through the day at her desk until the evening. She barely finished her work. She then asked Penny for leave and took a cab home.The Advil did not help. Whil

Penny touched Winona's forehead and found that her fever had indeed subsided."Winona, are you sure you don't want to rest at home? As a businesswoman, I really do need you to come back to the company with me, but work should always come after your health.""I'm fine now, Ms. Sullivan."With that, Penny did not insist further, and the two hurried off to the company.For the next week, Penny hardly returned home, except for a few visits to Dawn Haven Villa. Each time, she would find Caleb waiting for her.However, she was so busy that each visit was brief. There was only enough time for her to grab some clothes and plant a kiss on Caleb's cheek before quickly leaving. Caleb was always left to sleep alone. He was initially understanding of the situation, but Caleb grew silent after a week of repeated neglect.The last time Penny returned to Dawn Haven Villa, Caleb was not there.Busy as she was, she called him, but he did not answer.Penny thought about driving to Fergerson Cor

Penny sized up these two people. The paternity test was done, and the process was supervised by Quentin, who had no conflict of interest with her. He would not falsify the results.The hair strands were her own, delivered over by someone from Dawn Haven Villa. Everyone in Dawn Haven Villa was loyal as they were people carefully selected by Grandpa Fergerson himself.Seeing Penny in thought, Holly mistook her silence as contemplation about finding them a place to stay."Penpen, we aren't picky. Since you're a CEO, you must be living in a villa, right? Take us there so we can have a look at it.""Yeah, we traveled all the way from Union County, enduring hours of car sickness just to see you," added Hansel.Both Holly's and Hansel's faces showed sheer ecstasy, as if they had found a walking piggy bank.She was a CEO! Their daughter was living in luxury while they were barely surviving in Union County. Who would have thought that their daughter would be given to a wealthy family many
