Chapter 1 I Don’t Want Your Money

The man was already asleep. His narrow eyes were fully closed.

Penny Sullivan endured the unspeakable soreness she felt and got out of bed. Her back, covered by her long hair, was bent into a beautiful arc. As Penny was about to pick up her clothes scattered on the ground, she heard a cold voice from behind her.

"How much do you want?"

His tone was emotionless, unlike the gentle voice he had after getting drunk yesterday.

Penny tightened her hands that were firmly grasping onto her clothes.

It sounded ridiculous to say that the husband to whom she has been married for three years did not know who she was.

Three years ago, she rescued Sir Fergerson just as her father's company, Sullivan Corporation, encountered difficulties in the first round of financing. After finding out the situation that she was in, Sir Fergerson proposed for her to marry his grandson, Caleb Fergerson. After that, he invested 300 million into Sullivan Corporation.

Caleb did not show up once and she only found out that he had gone abroad after she signed the marriage certificate.

Over the course of three years, she, the nominal ‘Mrs. Fergerson’, had become a laughingstock in the eyes of others.

Unexpectedly, the first time the two met was in bed.

"I don't want your money."

She put her clothes on. She was hungover, so her mind was in a blur. Furthermore, she had a headache like it was about to explode.

"If you don’t want money, are you trying to get together with me?"

Caleb smiled mockingly. His gaze was penetrating as he looked her up and down.

She had a white and small face and a figure that was just right. He thought that she had beautiful eyes and good looks but that was all.

‘She’s just another woman who throws herself at me. The only difference this time is that she succeeded.’

The man turned away and said, "I’ll pay you what you’re owed. However, don’t show up in front of me again."

‘Although I was drunk last night, I wouldn’t be so desperate to sleep with a woman. There must be something wrong with the glass of wine she handed me last night.’

Penny already got dressed. Last night, the Fergersons held a welcoming banquet for Caleb’s return. He returned to Imperial City and was about to take over the Fergerson Corporation.

Penny joined the banquet because Sir Fergerson had specifically invited her, even though he was abroad. Initially, she planned to show up and leave immediately afterward. However, before she could leave, her father brought her two glasses of wine.

He said that she should talk to Caleb since the latter had just returned.

They ended up sleeping together.

She was well aware of how much Caleb hated their marriage. How was she supposed to convince him that what happened last night was not what she had intended?

There was a hint of self-mockery in Penny's gaze and she kept silent for two seconds before she said, "Actually, I..."

The phone by the bed vibrated.

Caleb glanced over unhurriedly and saw that his personal lawyer was calling.

He put the call on loudspeaker and a respectful male voice said from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Fergerson, I have arrived at Ms. Sullivan’s apartment. She’s not at home. Should I send the divorce agreement to Sullivan Corporation?"

He stood up and walked toward the French windows. Standing in front of the windows, he looked at the river view with a frown. He did not have much of an impression of his wife whom he had been married to for three years.

He heard from Sir Fergerson that she was kind and not greedy. Furthermore, she was a top student who graduated from Imperial University. However, none of those meant anything to him.

The Sullivans had survived their previous financial crisis three years ago, and the Fergersons did not owe Penny any favors.

The man's voice was ruthless and cold. "Contact her to sign the divorce agreement. If she refuses, you can contact Sullivan Corporation..."

While Caleb was on the phone, Penny took out her phone to check if she missed any messages from work. She was stunned when she heard the words "divorce agreement". Her phone screen prompted a message from her father, Zane Sullivan.

[Penny, you left early last night? Susan asked me to ask you if Caleb drank that glass of wine.]

Penny lowered her head. [Didn't you prepare the wine?]

[Susan gave it to me. If you’re not busy with work today, go to the hospital to visit your sister. She said she misses you.]

Penny was pissed. It turned out that her stepmother, Susan, planned all this

When Zane saw that she did not respond, he dropped her another text. [What's wrong? The alcohol was too strong and you got drunk?]

He thought that she was suffering from a hangover and hurriedly asked her if she needed a hangover cure. His tone was full of concern for her.

Penny was angry at what Susan did, but she could not vent her anger. Her mother passed away when she was a child, and her father ran the family business by himself. He had played the roles of both a father and a mother all these years. This had been hard work for him.

Moreover, he remained single until she attended college.

She suppressed her helplessness. [No need for that. I'll go to visit Willow later. Please tell Susan that I appreciate her thoughtfulness.]

The conversation in front of the French windows continued and the topic eventually went to business.

She looked up and saw the light outside the window fall on the shoulders of the man. He was dressed in a white nightgown while adopting a relaxed posture.

He had his back to the light so she could not see the expression on his handsome face, but the lines of his side face looked extraordinarily cold and stern. It made him seem cold-hearted and unapproachable.

Penny put away her phone, opened the door, and walked out.

‘It’s fine since we’re going to get a divorce anyway. It would be awkward if he found out that he slept with his wife whom he hadn't met for three years.’

She thought it would be better for them to end this marriage peacefully.

Caleb hung up the phone as it was late. Moreover, there was a stranger in the room who he had not yet dealt with. He could not help but frown when he turned around and saw the empty room in front of him.

The bed sheet was a mess and half of it was on the floor. Meanwhile, his crumpled dress shirt was left at the foot of the bed.

The smell of sex and red wine filled the entire room.

He raised his hand to rub his temple. The stark red spot on the bed sheet reminded him that the woman he saw in the morning was not a hallucination.

There was a knock on the door and the voice of his secretary, Sebastian Quinn, came from outside. "Mr. Fergerson."

"Come in."

The door opened to reveal Sebastian holding a brand-new suit. He was puzzled when he saw the scene in the room, but he did not ask any questions. After putting down Caleb’s clothes, he returned to the living room, respectful of Caleb’s privacy.

Meanwhile, Caleb went to the bathroom to take a shower, got dressed, and walked out.

Sebastian followed behind him and the two walked out the door. Caleb paused. Then, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Who was that person who came out of my room this morning?"

Chapter 2 Miss, Do You Need Us To Call The Police For You?
Sebastian took a second to process what he just saw and suddenly reacted with shock. "I'll check right away..."Caleb pursed his lips and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes. ‘It’s a cheap trick. She’s acting like she’s not interested in grabbing my attention. Launching an investigation on her might be exactly what she wants.’"No need."‘I’m certain she’ll show her face soon enough. She put in so much effort to lure me into bed, after all.’Penny hurried back to her apartment and washed herself several times before planting herself on the bed.When she closed her eyes, all she could think about was how hard Caleb pounded her. At first, she was not used to it but then the powerful feeling of physical pleasure and sensation flooded her entire body.In all honesty, she did not have issues with her first time being with Caleb, except for hearing another woman's name from his mouth.‘Charlotte, Charlotte Shaw… She's why he wants to divorce me.’She was exhausted but the sorene

Chapter 3 The Blame Rests On Your Dreadful Family Background
Asher Sullivan had a smile on his face. Although he looked decent in a suit, his gaze made Penny uncomfortable.She had a cold expression when she passed Willow’s medicine to him."I've already visited her. Here, take the medicine to Susan."Asher raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's head to Willow’s ward together. We haven't caught up with each other for a long time.""No, I have something else to attend to." Penny turned around and left the hall.Staring at her receding back, he put the medicine to his nose and smelled it.‘Anyone would be curious when they see a beautiful young woman, having prescribed drugs in her hands, walk out of the gynecology department.’Asher lowered his gaze and was taken aback by what he saw.He did not expect Penny, who looked so modest and reserved, to be so wild in private.‘Her husband hasn't been around for three years, so it's inevitable for a lonely woman to cheat.‘I’m not in a rush since she has to go back to the Sullivans one day or another.

Chapter 4 Hello, Mr. Fergerson
The door opened.Aurelia was about to step forward when she noticed that the young man who got out of the car was not Caleb. It was his assistant, Sebastian."Ma'am, Mr. Fergerson has a last-minute appointment and he won’t make it for dinner tonight. He got you this gift."When Aurelia called Caleb, she only told him to come back for dinner without mentioning that Penny would be around.Otherwise, he would probably refuse to go home. After all, three years ago, he left his newlywed wife and went abroad without a second thought.Aurelia gestured for one of her servants to receive the flowers from Sebastian's hand. With a look of disappointment on her face, she sighed. "I know he's busy. It’s fine. Make sure he takes care of himself."Sebastian nodded and got back into the car.Aurelia returned to the living room and looked at Penny. She was not in the best mood, so she dimissived Penny with a wave of her hand. "You can go now. I'll call you when he's free.""Sounds good."Penny

Chapter 5 I’ve Been In This Line Of Work For Three Years
Caleb's gaze was so cold that no amount of sun could warm him.Staring at Penny sternly, he said in a calm voice, "Let's go."Penny followed behind him. He swiped his card, and they entered the club.The floor of the hall was shiny. Everyone waiting at the door bowed and greeted Caleb respectfully.After walking for some distance, Caleb turned around to look at her.Penny stopped too and gave Caleb a polite smile"How much did Liam pay you?"Penny did not know about Liam's relationship with Caleb. She did not know much about the Fergersons and she intend to keep it that way.For three years, she had never met Caleb's father.In her opinion, Liam and Caleb were likely to hang out in the same circle since they knew each other."My boss said that this project may be in the millions.""You have a boss in this line of business?"Caleb was puzzled. He did not know about this.It seemed that what Liam said before was true. Moonlight Club would provide some customers with hidden s

Chapter 6 He Fancies Someone Else
The accidental encounter was too brief so Penny was not worried that Caleb would recognize her.She never showed up in front of the Fergersons, except when she visited Sir Fergerson during the holidays every year. Caleb himself never saw his wife and others would not be interested in an unimportant person like her either.She thought of Caleb's reaction, and regret crept into Penny’s smile. "Maybe it's something I did that ticked off Mr. Fergerson."Liam liked people who were good-looking regardless of their occupation or family background. His tone became involuntarily soft when speaking with such a beautiful woman."How could it be? Your design is artistic. My cousin runs a business, but he didn't start off studying finance. He took two degrees, and one of them happens to be related to art. I’m sure he can appreciate beautiful things. Maybe he's so preoccupied with the divorce recently that puts him in a bad mood."Penny did not respond. Hank asked in surprise, "Caleb is married?!"L

Chapter 7 What Is Meant To Be Will Be
“About what?” Caleb snapped back after answering Liam’s call.Caleb's tone was extremely cold. He leaned back slowly and said, "In the future, don't introduce me to this kind of woman."‘Does he feel no shame that we shared a woman?’He was aware that there were people who had such a habit. However, he had been abstinent for many years and was never interested in such things.‘I’m not sure what Liam has been learning out there all these years. He needs to grow up sooner or later.’"Caleb, aren’t you coming to see her? I searched for a long time before I found someone suitable for you."If Caleb was not interested, Liam still had a few vacant houses. "If you don't want it, I'll have her work for me since I quite like her work."Hearing that, Caleb straightened in his seat immediately."I’ll arrange for you to intern at the Fergerson Corporation so that you won't hang out with these dubious people all day long. Your mother has already spoken to me about it. Come to the offic

Chapter 8 He Was A High-Paying Client
Penny’s expression was so candid that Caleb wondered if he was overreacting. He was not familiar with this aspect of the world, after all.Caleb stood there gloomily, like a motionless sculpture of a god that people dared not look too closely.As the elevator descended to their respective floors, Penny felt the need to fight for the future of the design studio.Since she started working, she realized that her pride meant nothing most of the time.After all, Caleb was a high-paying client."Mr. Fergerson, I’d still like to know your preferred style. I can give it a try. If you’re still dissatisfied later, you won’t be charged."Caleb no longer knew what he could say to this woman.He was fuming. However, he held back his emotions and answered, "Don't you already have a client?"Penny was a little surprised. ‘Is Caleb worried that I won’t give him my full attention?’Some designers did have several clients at the same time but Penny had always placed great importance on quality,

Chapter 9 She Was Their Boss' Wife
The next morning, Penny covered the marks on her face with foundation before heading to the studio.The studio was located above a commercial building. It had a total of two floors.As a long-term part-timer, Penny did not need to go in on weekdays. However, she had to attend the monthly meetings.Hank, who was always the first to arrive, had not shown up yet. Hank only arrived in the office half an hour after the meeting started.Hank was wearing the same suit from yesterday and he was endlessly restless.Penny was spinning a pen during the meeting and she stopped when she saw Hank. She had a feeling that something might have happened to Hank."Sorry for being late today." Hank walked to the head of the table. After he sat down, he noticed Penny's worried gaze and smiled apologetically.Others summarized their current projects one by one.After the meeting ended, Penny initially wanted to leave with everyone else. Seeing that Hank remained seated at the table, she walked ove

Chapter 10 Send The Divorce Agreement To The Sullivans
Penny sat down in the seating area by the window and responded to the text rather quickly.[Can I meet him in person?]She was downstairs at the Fergerson Corporation. So long as he agreed, she could meet Caleb immediately.The lawyer said he would discuss it with Caleb and stopped replying.On the top floor of the building, the man sitting behind the black marble desk was going through the documents in front of him.Sebastian opened the door and said, "Mr. Fergerson, Ms. Sullivan would like to see you."Caleb briefly looked away from the document. His tone was flat and made it clear that he was not interested in furthering the topic."No."‘She just doesn’t want to get divorced.‘Does she think that meeting me can change anything? She’s too confident in herself.’A hint of annoyance flashed across his face. With a cold and low voice, he said, "Have the lawyer send the divorce agreement to the Sullivans and watch her sign it."Sebastian nodded and did not dig deeper into the
