A group of people sat on sofas in the garden. They were under a beautiful canopy, surrounded by picturesque mountains and a river.They were chatting amicably until Liam called out, "Caleb, you're here."Liam had been mostly silent. He was merely observing Khloe as she engaged with the young ladies present, seemingly showcasing her popularity.Given her high status and innocent appearance, Khloe easily garnered favorable impressions.Liam's call drew everyone's attention toward Caleb. There were at least 20 people here today, an equal number of men and women.At this moment, Caleb was lowering his head down to Penny, cradling her face in his hands.He was asking her, "If you feel uncomfortable, we can go back, alright?"Caleb was irritated with Winston for not managing such a simple matter effectively.Penny shook her head. Leaving now would give rise to speculation that she was intentionally avoiding Khloe, potentially leading to more discomfort.Moreover, many had been criti

Unable to contain himself any longer, Caleb grabbed Winston's collar in frustration.Winston explained with a resigned tone, "Before you guys arrived, everyone already drew room numbers, and only these two were left. Do you think I arranged this on purpose? Besides, you can let Penny sleep in the same room as you."Caleb paused, realizing he had momentarily blanked out and forgotten this option.He released Winston's collar, deciding not to let Penny stay in his room. Instead, he would move and share a room with her, keeping a greater distance from Khloe.After her shower, Penny came out to find Caleb packing for tomorrow's mountain trek.The so-called hike was not just around the villa. The villa was merely a place for everyone to rest and have fun. The next morning, they would actually head up the mountain.Caleb had prepared the bags based on his past experience. Plus, this could be considered the first date since the two of them got together.Penny lay on the bed. When she t

Khloe approached the group of people arm-in-arm with Ethan.Ethan was a known prodigy. He was a significant figure in Americana's business world, and many families present were eager to collaborate with the Strausses.These young people, accustomed to a life of intrigue and resource exchange, knew whom to befriend. Therefore, they promptly engaged in conversation with the two Strausses.Khloe smiled sweetly in response to everyone. She was the first to answer when someone inquired if Ethan had a girlfriend."My brother is a workaholic. He's never thought about settling down. Besides, whoever wants to be my sister-in-law has to pass my test first," she joked, looking at Ethan."Right, Brother? Only a sister-in-law I approve of can catch your eye."Ethan was aloof in demeanor, but he affectionately ruffled her hair."You're always up to mischief," he chided gently.Khloe stuck out her tongue playfully, her gaze shifting to Penny.She wondered how Penny would react to seeing her

Penny was uninterested in watching Khloe's little performance. She merely quietly finished the food on her plate.Caleb, too, did not look at the opposite side but rested his cheek on one hand. He smiled as he watched Penny. It seemed as if watching her eat was an amusing activity.When Penny was about to eat more after finishing half of her portion, he gently pressed her hand with his fingertips."It’s seafood. Don’t eat too much or you might get a stomach ache," he cautioned her.Reluctantly, she put the food down.Caleb calmly took a wet wipe from nearby. As he held her hand, he meticulously wiped each of her fingers as if they were delicate works of art.He was so engrossed in the task that he did not notice the attention they were attracting from everyone around.Penny was equally captivated, unaware of the strange atmosphere developing.After a while, Liam spoke up."Caleb, Winston said Finn called you, but you didn't answer. He wants you to call him back."When Winston

Wind was at a loss for words as Khloe smiled at him, the fragrance of her hair filling his nostrils.As he was about to get lost in her gaze, he heard her say, "I can't wait any longer, Wind. During this trip, I want you to kill Penny."Khloe's face was cold. Her lips curved in a sinister smile as she cupped his face with her hands."You said you could be the knife in my hand."Killing Penny during the hike meant risking discovery by Caleb at any moment.If Caleb paid even a little attention, he would know who was behind it.This meant Khloe was asking Wind to risk his life to take Penny's."Can you do it, Wind?"Wind lowered his gaze, his braid falling over his shoulder. He looked up at her."I can, Ms. Khloe.""Good. Tomorrow night, keep an eye on Penny. The moment she's out of Cally's sight, make your move. Make sure she dies, Wind. You know, I can't stand playing with her anymore. My illness might worsen if this continues. You don't want anything to happen to me, right?"
