"Caleb!"She had arrived as a representative of the Ferguson Corp to conduct business with Caleb."What are you doing here?" When Caleb saw Penelope, he felt irritated."Is Ms. Sanders also here?" What a wonderful coincidence!" Penelope was brimming with confidence now that she had the full-fledged support of her family."Ms. Sanders, I'm here on behalf of the Ferguson Corp. I might even become a regular guest here. You won't mind, will you?" Penelope smiled at Ember, secretly pleased by how things were unfolding."Your business has nothing to do with me." Ember was reluctant to speak more now that Penelope was here."Go on, you two. Mr. Lane, I'll go back first. The money will be in your account soon."Ember grabbed her handbag and got ready to leave after saying that."Ember, just hear me out."Caleb realized Ember had misunderstood him, so he grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving."This collaboration is just for the benefit of the company. Believe me, I don't have feeli

"You don't need to pay me back. Why don't you become my secretary instead?" Caleb stood up and approached Ember."Mr Lane, you still can't afford a secretary?" Ember looked at Caleb suspiciously. His behavior today had been unusual."I've spent 200 million dollars, yet I still can't get you to work for me?"Caleb intended to keep the 200 million dollars. After all, Ember couldn't possibly earn that much money all at once."Give me the account number, and I'll pay you back right away." Ember looked away from Caleb and helped Avery smooth out his bedsheets."No need for that. I want you to work at my company as my secretary for now.""Mommy, Daddy is a hero. He saved my life, so you should just say yes to him." Avery also used the chance to speak up for Caleb.Ember could tell that her son was unable to discern the right from the wrong.."Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to deal with menial tasks for me. Two months is fine." Caleb approached Ember

The word had traveled throughout the company at this point."Have you heard? Mr. Lane's new secretary is his wife.""Huh? She might be pretty, but I think she's useless too."Caleb had previously hired two secretaries and an assistant. The secretaries began to gossip about Ember, their newest colleague.Ember sought out the secretaries with a statement in hand.The secretaries assumed Ember intended to cause trouble based on her poker face."What's wrong?" one of the secretaries approached Ember and inquired."Nothing. Mr. Lane requested for this statement to be filled out earlier. I've completed it for you guys. Just look through it before passing it to him later."Ember did the secretaries a favor just because it was convenient for her to do so."Okay, thanks!" The two secretaries thanked her quickly."She seems pretty decent, right?""Yup. I think she should be quite capable as well. Otherwise, how could Mr. Lane possibly favor her?"Their opinion of Ember had shifted dr

Enraged, Penelope swept the files away, causing them to be strewn all over the floor. A moment later, she could only crouch down to pick the papers up one by one while looking aggrieved.As night fell, the shimmering lights in the pub caught Penelope's lonely expression."What's the matter, Ms. Ferguson? Aren't you the one who invited me here? Why are you ignoring me right now?" Nick, who was standing next to Penelope, couldn't help but snicker a few times.Penelope remained motionless. She occasionally raised her wine glass and chugged the alcoholic drink down with her eyes closed."Did Caleb bully you again?" Nick approached Penelope as he cautiously probed her for more information.Penelope unexpectedly fell into tears at this moment, causing the others to look over in their way."Hey, this is a bar! Don't cry. How embarrassing!"Everyone kept staring at Nick the whole time. He didn't want to be stuck in this humiliating situation."I've been doing my best, haven't I? Why ar

Since Penelope had already drank, Caleb was too prideful to reject her offer. Hence, he downed his glass of wine too."Again." The wine glass in Caleb's hand was refilled.When the sound of clinking glasses resounded again, Caleb looked up and saw that Penelope had already consumed all of the wine in her glass, so he had little choice but to drink it quickly.Dizziness soon attacked him in waves. Caleb wasn't sure if it was the excessive wine he had just consumed, but he suddenly had an urge to keel over and doze off on the spot.He was aware that this was a bar, so he could only keep reminding himself to keep his wits and rationality about."Speak up. If not, I'm going to leave right now." Caleb was prepared to stand up and leave.Penelope rushed toward Caleb at that moment and pulled him into a sitting position.Her lips curled into a sly smirk now that she was abnormally close to him."Caleb, I like you so much. Why won't you like me at all?" Penelope saddled up to Caleb,

She gazed at Caleb seductively, hoping for a response.Caleb, on the other hand, seized her shoulders with both hands and pressed harder."Ah!" The room was filled with screams.Penelope rolled off the bed. Her shoulders collided against a hard edge, causing them to swell up immediately.Caleb could no longer hold out anymore. He closed his eyes the instant Penelope landed on the floor.Penelope reluctantly climbed back onto the bed. She fixed her gaze on Caleb, who was now calm once again.She removed Caleb's garments, burrowed into his arms, and fell asleep in this position.A shaft of dazzling sunlight shone onto Caleb's face the next day.Caleb squinted at the sight, but then felt foreign warmth coming from his right arm.When he looked around, he saw that it was Penelope snuggling next to him. To make things worse, she was naked.Then he glanced at himself, only to realize that he was in his birthday suit as well.Caleb jumped out of bed in surprise. He proceeded to yan

"Caleb, what about me?" Penelope sprang up again, this time grabbing his arm."Let go of me!" Caleb gave her a chilly stare devoid of emotion.Caleb's stern glare terrified Penelope, so she could only gently loosen her grip."Let me repeat myself one more time. Do not tell anyone what happened last night!" Caleb was still unsettled."Yes, I know." Penelope rubbed her face pitifully while looking up at Caleb.Caleb left hurriedly, seeing as he no longer wished to be around Penelope.When the door closed, Penelope's expression shifted back to irritation.She plopped onto the bed while examining the amazing photos taken the night before on her phone. Then, she laughed loudly.Caleb, on the other hand, took the elevator to the lobby, where the reception counter was at."I've lost something very important, please check last night's surveillance!" Caleb walked over to the front desk and demanded. He wanted to see what happened last night through the surveillance cameras.His sudden

"Why don't you go to work?" Caleb began with a tentative question."Mr. Lane, I thought you and Ms. Ferguson had broken up. That's why I agreed to help you out. Now that you guys are back together, you shouldn't need me anymore. Our marriage is nothing but a sham."Ember forced herself to keep her emotions in check as she spoke flatly."Just hear me out, alright? Last night—""It's fine. You don't need to explain to me either. This is just a contractual marriage. We'll be divorced after a year." Ember took a deep breath and closed her eyes in order to conceal her emotions."It's not like that! Ember, please trust me" Caleb, who was becoming increasingly emotional, went up and hugged Ember."Don't touch me! You are filthy!" Ember pushed Caleb away with all her strength."Mr. Lane, didn't you two spend the night together? There's no need to explain anything to me." Ember opened her cell phone again, this time to display Caleb those awful photographs."What the..." Caleb had the

Avery seemed to have noticed something at this point. He turned his head to meet Caleb's eyes and then swiftly averted his gaze. Although Avery had a displeased expression written all over his face, he looked quite cute.Avery was murmuring at the time. His face was so chubby that anyone couldn't help but pinch it.''What are you doing here? Mommy will be back later. She'll be mad if she sees you, so hurry up and leave!" he stated angrily.Ember had been in a bad mood for the past two days due to the incident, and Avery didn't want his father to add to his mother's worries.Caleb didn't take Avery’s repulsion seriously.Caleb became rather worried upon seeing his amused and irritated countenance. He decided to sit on the bed and say, in a fairly humiliating tone, "Avery, I came here this time because I want you to help me explain to your mommy that things aren't as she thinks.""Those photos are so realistic. Are you going to say they're photoshopped too?" Avery remarked righteou

"Find out who's behind this at all costs!" Caleb spoke in a frigid tone. His dark eyes seemed to be capable of reading people's hearts and souls.Hank walked in after Allen had just left.Caleb looked at him, his fingers pinching a cigarette and flicking down the ash. Right now, he was very unhappy."Mr. Lane, shouldn't you give me an explanation for what happened with Penelope?" Hank sat on the couch and asked with a grin.Before Caleb had the opportunity to reply, Hank continued, "Things between you and Penelope have already progressed to this point. Shouldn't you take responsibility for her?"Caleb snorted harshly. That old man was definitely shrewd and sly for imposing this marriage on him so quickly."Then, what do you think I should do?" Amusement danced in Caleb's eyes as he asked faintly without any emotion."You and Penelope have been together for so many years. Why not take this opportunity to announce the news of your marriage which can tie both of our families toget
