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
Kiki was nimble-witted. When she heard that Caleb had been staying in a hotel since his return to Imperial City, she knew that his relationship with his wife was not the best, and they might only meet a few times a month.‘The relationship between husband and wife from wealthy families is so fragile. Even if I lie and say that I know Mrs. Fergerson, Caleb wouldn't suspect anything.’All she wanted was to undermine Penny.Caleb stopped walking, and his brows furrowed slightly.‘I’m becoming more and more disgusted with my so-called wife. She’s acting like she’s all that using the name of Mrs. Fergerson.’"If Penny has caused you any trouble, Mr. Fergerson, you can let Mr. Lowe know about it and request to change to another interior designer if you wish. After all, such a thing has happened before. A client's wife came to our office in person and asked that she no longer be involved with her husband’s project."Kiki spoke with sincerity.Caleb glanced at her indifferently and resp
Penny looked down, finding it pointless to engage in unnecessary arguments.All she wanted was to fulfill the contract terms, show up in front of Sir Fergerson occasionally, and get through the rest of her time with the Fergersons in peace. She did not want to cause any problems with the other members. Aurelia cared about Caleb a lot. Penny knew that if she argued with her, Aurelia would only make things even more difficult for her.As such, Penny just stood there and did not refute even when Aurelia was nitpicking on the house.Aurelia frowned when she arrived on the second floor and saw the bed in the master bedroom."If Caleb moves in, he has to stay in the master bedroom. You can sleep in the guest bedroom. Don't expect anything to happen between the two of you during this time. Don't forget, you have to get out of here once Sir Fergerson's illness improves."After she was done criticizing everything, she looked at the person who had been silently following her and frowned.
