The principal’s face froze. When he turned and looked, sure enough, Caleb was a few feet away from him. At this moment, the expression on his face was faint and revealed nothing.As soon as Caleb arrived, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.Jade was standing beside him, and she winked over at Penny.No one knew how anxious she was when she saw Penny being harassed. Fortunately, her cousin also came today. Otherwise, she really would not have known how to end this dispute.Selina was a member of the Sanders family and a prominent figure in the school. With Penny being just a small-time designer, she was definitely no match for her opponent. Jade had to call for reinforcements.The atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment, and the principal did not know how to explain it for a while, but Penny continued to ask.“Since everyone has to register, then everyone who’s present at the exhibition right now should be treated equally, right? It can’t be a rule s
Daisy’s fingertips were trembling nervously. Earlier, Selina had taken her disheveled self out of the bathroom and sent her to the staff room so that she could change her clothes.Selina had a crush on Jeremy, so while Daisy was changing, she talked about seeing Jeremy as well as Wilson from Zatan Tech. Of course, she also brought up the matter of getting bumped into.Daisy's hatred for Penny went down to her bones, so when she saw that Selina was wearing a bracelet on her wrist, she decided to take advantage of the situation.After Daisy hid the bracelet, Selina noticed that it was missing, and the former played along. “Could someone have taken it when you were bumped into earlier?”After being reminded, Selina naturally thought of Penny and went to confront her.At this moment, Selina did not think she was doing anything wrong and just hated Penny even more. If Penny was not the one who stole it, would it not be embarrassing for her?Her crush was here, and it would not be a pl
Selina’s so-called acknowledgment of her mistake was simply a way to give herself a way out.After speaking, she gave Penny a fierce glare. “Since that’s the case, forget it. I don’t want to argue further about the things she said about the Sanders.”As soon as she said this, Penny burst into laughter.Selina was instantly annoyed, and her hands that were by her sides clenched together. Why was this bitch laughing?Penny stood up and looked at her. “Ms. Sanders, you were the one who slandered me in front of so many people. Now that the truth is out, it’s fine if you don’t want to apologize to me. But from the way you're phrasing things, it seems like you’re trying to make yourself sound generous by not holding me accountable. Even if you’re from the Sanders family, not all the benefits in the world belong to you, right?”Selina was so angry that she could not even speak.She even felt like the air she was breathing was scorching hot. She looked at Daisy, hoping that Daisy could s
‘What a pity. I thought that I met someone who knows how to appreciate art, but I didn't expect that she…’She sighed in her heart as a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes.As she quietly watched Caleb, she wondered what he thought about his interior designer being a mistress.Caleb seemed untroubled, and he even took a sip of the tea that the waiter had served him some time ago as if all the drama had nothing to do with him.There were faint discussions among the crowd."She’s pretty, but it turns out that she's someone’s mistress. No wonder she seems so assertive.""Whose family did she destroy? Has she been a mistress since she was a student here?""She must be used to being a mistress. What a pity, considering her looks.""Don't you think she's shameless? She's still so calm after being exposed."Everyone looked at Penny, who stood quietly with a slight frown on her face."Ms. Shaw and Ms. Sanders, don't you know that you have to be responsible for what you say?"
Penny acted as normal, not realizing that she had just drunk from someone else's cup.Since a director and the principal of the school were arrested, the vice-principal quickly stood up to preside over the situation and manage the guests.The farce came to an end, and Vice-Principal Day personally went to Caleb to apologize."Mr. Fergerson, apologies for that. The school will provide an explanation to all investors and actively work with the police in the investigation."Caleb's brows were furrowed. ‘She presents herself much better than Principal Foster.’ Vice-Principal Day looked at Penny and said emotionally, "Long time no see, Penny."When Penny changed her major to design back then, the vice-principal played a big role. Otherwise, Penny would not have been able to get her diploma under the watchful eyes of Principal Foster and Daisy Shaw."Miss Day, long time no see."The vice-principal smiled and said, "I thought that I heard it wrong when Mr. Fergerson mentioned that hi
Penny held the umbrella as she walked, but she did not get far before noticing that the bottom of her trousers was drenched.A car stopped beside her and honked twice.She thought it was Jeremy Tate again, and a hint of impatience appeared in her eyes.The car window opened a crack, and Jade's voice came from inside."Come in. You can’t drive off now. There’s a traffic jam and a crowd."Penny looked at the place where she parked. The place was crowded, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier. She decided to accept Jade's act of kindness. She thanked her, opened the car door, and got in.The rain and moisture were shut off once she got in, but she noticed that the car was surprisingly quiet.Penny thought it was one of the Fergersons’ cars driving Jade around, but she found out that Caleb's driver was in the driver's seat.She saw Caleb sitting by the window, going through some documents while looking down. She wondered what he was thinking.Fortunately, Jade was also in t
It was still pouring outside, but Penny's voice could be heard clearly in the quiet car.Caleb froze, and a strange look appeared on his face.Penny did not notice his reaction since her compliment was just a casual comment.She closed her eyes to rest a little when the car ride became slightly bumpy.She leaned her head toward him unconsciously, and the distance between them instantly narrowed.On such a heavy rainy day, the roads were slippery and the traffic was bad.After being stuck in traffic for half an hour, the car slowly moved.To avoid things turning awkward between the two, Penny chose to close her eyes and take a nap during this half hour.She had not been sleeping well recently and found the sound of the rain outside hypnotic. She fell asleep without knowing it.Sebastian, who was sitting in the front, did not notice the atmosphere behind him until he saw another car that was driving ruthlessly from the rearview mirror.The car hit theirs in an instant, and the
As soon as Penny stepped inside, she heard a dog barking and saw a snow-white figure running toward her from afar before circling her excitedly.Penny looked down and patted his head."Nani, have you been a good girl while I was away?"Lucy Crawford came out from inside the house wearing an apron. She looked about 50 years old and was gentle and honest."Ms. Sullivan, Nani has been naughty when you weren't around. She caught all the fish in the fish pond, so I had to debone and cook all of them."Penny thought it was hilarious and rubbed Nani's head harder. "Why are you such a glutton?"Nani was a German Shepherd that was about six years old. She had been with Penny for as long as she could remember.Penny could not keep Nani in her apartment, and coincidentally, Sir Fergerson gave her the villa as a gift. She rarely came here on weekdays, so she asked Aunt Lucy to help take care of Nani.She played with Nani for a while before she dragged her luggage into the living room.Luc
