Meanwhile, Penny had arranged to meet with a director today, intending to sign him to her company.She was supposed to have lunch with him at noon.Right as she and Winona headed to the underground parking lot and got into the car, the window was suddenly smashed by someone.Winona was about to scream for help when she was struck on the neck, making her collapse.Penny was sitting in the back, so she could not escape in time as the car windows were locked.She looked at the person in the driver's seat. It was Sam.Sam immediately drove the car out, flooring the accelerator. He was going so fast that the surrounding scenery turned into a blur.With the window already smashed, the wind in the car was strong. It was blowing Penny's hair back so fiercely that it was nearly impossible to keep her eyes open.When the car reached the highway, it sped up even more, overtaking many vehicles.Even when she spoke, the other party could not hear her clearly.She bent down to search for h

The director did not expect Caleb to initiate a conversation and felt somewhat flattered.Caleb frowned, took out his phone, and unblocked Penny before asking, "She wants to sign you to her company?""Yes, I had already discussed it with Ms. Sullivan. The contract was ready."Caleb dialed the number, but the call was not answered.Penny had been working hard lately, often staying late until midnight. Moreover, she was in a critical phase of her fight with Florence. She would not drop the ball at such a crucial moment unless something had happened.When the elevator reached the first floor, Caleb walked straight out but then advised the director, "She must have encountered some trouble or possibly been targeted by someone, hence why she's not picking up your calls. You can talk to her again later."The implication was clear—he should not take this incident to heart.The director dared not say much, knowing Caleb's influence. Even the top producers could not get much out of him.

"Did Sam do this?"His tone was ominously cold, and he turned to go settle the score with Sam!Penny quickly grabbed his hand, but the action caused her pain again.Caleb's steps halted, and he bent down to pick her up. He walked toward his car.Once in the car, he raised the rear partition and signaled Sebastian, who had rushed over, to drive.Sebastian headed straight for Kensington Gardens.In the back of the car, Caleb tore open Penny's collar for a better view of her shoulder injury.The whole area of her shoulder was bruised, a clear indication of Sam's torture."I have an ointment for bruises at my place, but it might sting when applied."He said this while intently staring at the bruised skin.Penny felt uncomfortable and moved back a little.Caleb did not say anything, maintaining a distance between them.The atmosphere grew silent.Upon arriving at Kensington Gardens, he got out first and opened the car door for her.Penny's collar was torn, and she had to cover

The temperature in the room rose instantly, making Penny feel unbearably hot.Caleb had indeed been starved for too long, yet he was still mindful of her injuries and did not let her move at all.Having been in the military, his waist was incredibly strong. He could even hold her suspended in the air for a long duration.Penny was already weak from the start. She pushed against his shoulders, but he remained unmoved."Penpen..."He called out her name in a hoarse voice, holding her even tighter.Penny seemed to have the illusion that he really liked her, so much that he seemed to want to merge her into his very bones and blood.It continued until late into the night before he finally stopped.Caleb looked satiated, but he noticed her turning her head away. Her lips were tightly pressed, and she looked somewhat aggrieved."What's wrong?""My legs hurt."Well, doing this kind of activity excessively could cause one’s legs to grow weak.He placed her on the windowsill and knel

When Penny left Kensington Gardens, the driver from there personally took her to her company.Her mind was still pondering over Caleb's words, making her ears feel tingly.However, remembering Khloe's presence sobered her up quite a bit.If she really went to him, would that count as an affair?Initially, when Caleb did not know her identity, their relationship could be considered an affair in some sense. Now, it seemed he might have someone he was seeing, yet he rekindled their relationship.Their relationship had always been like this, only describable with such unpleasant terms.He was unwilling to give her a status, preferring to keep their relationship quiet and hidden.Lowering her eyelashes, she felt the ache was not in her body, but in her heart.It felt like something was gripping it tightly, and it hurt even to breathe.Upon returning to S.M., Winona was already waiting for her. She immediately hugged Penny upon seeing her."Ms. Sullivan, are you alright?"Penny no
