Chapter 171 Sometimes Being Too Innocent Could Lead To Problems

Belle had been invited in and, out of courtesy, Penny brought her some water.Belle had previously visited Penny’s place with Liam, but the place had changed after Penny redecorated. Moreover, Nani obediently sat nearby, occasionally wagging her tail and appearing quite well-behaved.Belle really liked Nani. Before she chatted with Penny, she even brought some jerky from her place for Nani to chew on.“Penny, you know Liam comes from a wealthy background, right? When I got together with him, many people told me he’d soon dump me. After all, I’m just a receptionist. We met when he was working for a few days at Fergerson Corporation.”It must have been the days Caleb forced him to go for training at Fergerson Corporation.It seemed Liam did not forget to flirt around while he was there.Penny had previously seen Liam getting tangled up with his ex, who was a glamorous beauty. However, Belle was more of a demure beauty, so obviously, Liam’s tastes had changed quickly this time aroun

Chapter 172 A Display Of Authority

[Liam, you’re right! Penny is truly talented. Not only is her interior design superb, but her portrait painting is also excellent!]Liam had indeed been planning to settle down recently, and he treated Belle well. The communication between the two had been ongoing.However, when he saw this photo, his eyebrow raised and he sent the photo to Caleb without hesitation.[Is that you, Cousin?]It was already ten in the evening, and Caleb had just arrived at the Sullivans’ front door.The Sullivans had made a call to Sir Fergerson. He had to attend this dinner, but when he arrived was up to him to decide.The table at the Sullivans’ household was filled with delicious food. The whole house was filled with an appetizing aroma, but the faces of those sitting inside were more miserable than the next.It was supposed to be dinner time, but Caleb and Penny were late. Moreover, Penny had not even picked up her phone until now.Zane was so angry that he almost fainted, and Susan kept adding

Chapter 173 I’ve Liked Mr. Fergerson For Several Years Now

The car horn honked twice, and the lights came on.Sebastian had just settled back into the car when a thought struck him, and the window rolled down.“Additionally, Mr. Sullivan, please refrain from calling Sir Fergerson again. Sir Fergerson is unwell, and if something were to happen, the Sullivans won't be able to bear such responsibility.”If it had been a display of authority before, now it was a warning. It was a warning to the Sullivans not to reach too far.Zane was so furious that his mind went blank, and his fingertips started to tremble.Willow, on the other hand, had quickly come forward, her face filled with excitement.“Mr. Fergerson.”Through the glass window, she gazed inside in an entranced manner.Caleb had clearly shown no respect toward them, but Willow could not see that. She only hoped that Caleb would pay attention to her.If she showed her face more, Caleb would start to like her.“Mr. Fergerson, don’t be angry. The Sullivans were thoughtless this time

Chapter 174 Have You Gone Mad?!

Caleb did not reply a word. He simply turned off the screen of his phone, acting as if he had not seen Liam’s inquiry.Penny did not know at that time that a photo of her painting had been sent to Caleb. After eating the late-night snack Belle brought, she planned to go to sleep.Nani was sleeping under the bed, occasionally twitching her ears.Penny reviewed her recent tasks in her mind, and that night, she was able to sleep soundly.The next morning, she ate her breakfast and went to the construction site.The workers were fast. It was probably because Jeremy had given notice, so the people that came this time were very efficient. Penny simply had to choose the next materials and make some adjustments on the spot.Upon making sure that the construction was progressing smoothly, she dug up the list of materials. Except for Union County’s Jade Sandalwood Flooring, almost all the materials could be bought on the market, and with the connections she had accumulated over the years,

Chapter 175 No Need To Really Stake Her Life On This

“Madam Fergerson, are you okay?”Amber’s head was bleeding, and she was a little unconscious. The driver in the front seat had even fainted.Since they were the ones hit, their situation was more serious than Penny’s.At that moment, the surroundings had become chaotic, and the traffic police had come over.Amber raised her hand, rubbing her aching head. Seeing Penny, she did not immediately pursue responsibility for the accident.“Penny, are you alright? Are you injured?”Penny suddenly felt guilty and quickly helped her down.“I’m fine. I’m truly sorry. I’m calling 911 now.”The front driver was also dragged out by the traffic police. Fortunately, it was just a minor injury, but they still needed to go to the hospital.Penny, being the driver, was immediately questioned by the police.Amber initially wanted to help her, but she heard her say, “Madam Fergerson, the ambulance will be here soon. You should go to the hospital first. I’ll come and apologize personally later. I h

Chapter 176 Still Had Not Found Peace

Liam was slightly stunned, but upon hearing that his mother had been in a car accident, he could not sit still. He immediately put on his clothes and wanted to get out of bed.His mobile phone was left on the bed, and it was now on speakerphone. The driver’s voice continued to come through.“Mr. Liam, Madam would like you to care for your girlfriend. She was also injured and should be at the police station now. Madam said you don’t need to come see her.”Belle had originally wanted to cling to Liam and act spoiled, but upon hearing the word 'girlfriend,' she froze all over.She had not met Madam Fergerson yet, so the 'girlfriend' Madam Fergerson referred to certainly was not her.She looked at Liam suspiciously, but Liam’s only thought was to go to the hospital at that moment. He finally knew which 'girlfriend' the driver was referring to.It was Penny.He once had Penny pretend to be his girlfriend.However, he did not have time to explain. He quickly put on his coat and kisse

Chapter 177 He Should Come To Pick You Up

Caleb was on his way to the hospital when he received Liam’s call.Liam spoke at length, then added one last sentence.“She did paint a picture of you, after all, Caleb.”Caleb looked at the sky outside; it was already approaching evening, and the streetlights were coming on.The atmosphere was very much like that painting.It was undeniable that her painting was quite good.The car eventually stopped at the address Liam had given. It was a neighborhood where the property prices were not low. She had said she was preparing to move, so it turned out she had moved here.Penny dared not make Caleb wait and was already downstairs, waiting for him ten minutes early.She had soaked in the bath for so long that the water turned cold. At that moment, she felt light-headed and somewhat confused.It was not until Caleb’s car stopped in front of her did she react, weakly opening the car door.“Mr. Fergerson, I apologize for the trouble.”Her voice was a bit hoarse. Clearly, something w

Chapter 178 How Low Nathan Lowered Himself

Caleb had done all he could, and he had fulfilled his obligations.He was somewhat resistant to contact Penny because whenever he encountered her, nothing good ever came of it.Penny had been sitting there alone, looking very obedient because she had fallen ill.People were coming and going around her, but no one had approached to ask if she needed help.Caleb had put her in a chair and then returned to the car. As he opened the car door, he caught sight of someone going to her side out of the corner of his eye. It was not a man but a woman.Moreover, it was a woman he had seen before.“You little wench! I’ve finally found you!”The woman looked fierce and wicked. She raised her hand to shove Penny.Penny’s vision was blurry, and she was weak all over. After that shove, she hit her back directly on the chair, causing her to wince in pain.She looked up to find the woman who was with Nathan previously—the redhead with thick eyeliner. Her makeup was so heavy that her original ap

Chapter 179 Don’t Pretend To Be Strong Next Time

After she showed Caleb the way, Penny did not want to trouble him further. When she stood, she tried to keep as far away from his body as possible.Once they entered the same elevator, her legs were a little weak, and she could not help but lean back against the cold wall.Caleb’s hand caught her. He did not intend to help any more than that.When the elevator doors opened on the fifth floor, Penny’s fingers trembled as she searched her bag for her keys, but her vision was too shaky. She tried for a long time but could not insert the key into the keyhole.Caleb had no choice but to help her.After the door opened, he inevitably saw the interior of the house. It was very clean, but there were no men’s shoes in the entryway, only a few pairs of women’s slippers.He raised an eyebrow in confusion, looking down at Penny.Inside, the sound of a dog barking was heard. Nani was excited by the sound of the keys and ran over on all four legs.Seeing Caleb, her tail wagged even more joyf

Chapter 180 Jealousy

Caleb had some impression of this face. It belonged to an employee of Fergerson Corporation, so he just nodded slightly.Belle covered her mouth in surprise, glanced inside once, then glanced at Caleb again.Was Penny not married already? Her spouse could not possibly be Caleb. Otherwise, Liam would have called Penny his sister-in-law or whatnot, instead of telling her that she was his friend.However, it was nearing nighttime, and Mr. Fergerson was coming out of Penny’s house.Everyone at Fergerson Corporation knew how unsociable Mr. Fergerson was and that he did not talk much. He could not possibly meet a woman privately, even if Penny was his designer. Even if they needed to discuss the house, they would have met at Fergerson Corporation.A spark flashed in Belle’s mind, and she inexplicably thought of the painting Penny had drawn.She had thought it was just a casual painting, but now it seemed that Penny and Mr. Fergerson had been having an affair from the start.Indeed, ho
