If it were Penny, she could confidently say that Caleb merely treated her as a toy to be played with and then discarded.However, with Charlotte, Willow dared not say such words.The receptionist almost instinctively looked toward Willow. This woman had previously booked a room on the top floor. Today, she was back, and she insisted on inquiring about the information of the guest in that room.The top floor was where Mr. Fergerson’s suite was, and along that long corridor, there were only two suites. One was Mr. Fergerson’s permanent room, which had been redecorated. The other was the one open to guests.Since anyone could reserve that room, why did this woman persistently want to know the information of the person who booked it?It was apparent she was targeting Mr. Fergerson.The receptionist, not wanting any trouble, was about to deny her inquiry. However, the glance she had just given had already betrayed Willow.Willow was stiff all over, and she turned to leave.However,

Caleb did not respond. He simply lowered his head to slowly adjust his cufflinks.The silver-blue cufflinks were particularly noticeable. They were a gift from Charlotte.Penny heard footsteps on the stairs coming back down. Charlotte appeared with a gentle tone.“Caleb, come upstairs with me. I’m really worried.”After speaking, it was then that Charlotte noticed Penny. Her gaze sharpened instantly.“What are you doing here?”Just at that moment, the doctor in charge of Nani approached.“Ms. Penny, please come upstairs. The surgery is expected to take 40 minutes.”Penny breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the once stifling space becoming spacious again. She quickly nodded to both Caleb and Charlotte nearby.“Mr. Fergerson, Ms. Shaw, I’ll head upstairs first.”Charlotte remained silent, her gaze fixed on Penny’s retreating figure.Thinking about the hair she had found in the hotel room made her uneasy. Whose hair was it?Plus, just now in the hotel, she was about to embrace

Both of them remained silent. Penny maintained her position without moving, trying her best to stay calm.Caleb’s slender fingers interlaced as he rubbed them together, washing off the foam. He then reached for a piece of tissue paper nearby and wiped his fingers methodically.Even though this process took less than a minute, Penny felt as if it lasted an eternity.Caleb tossed the used tissue paper into a trash bin nearby, and upon seeing her feigned composure, he chuckled.“Am I that intimidating?”Usually eloquent, now she seemed scared into silence.Seeing the conversation reaching this point, Penny had to respond. She looked up at him.“Mr. Fergerson, you're my boss and my employer. So, of course, I’m intimidated.”Caleb glanced at the mark behind her ear that was not covered up. She must have been in a rush, so no one pointed it out to her.“How was your dinner with your husband? Did he enjoy it?”Given her appearance, had her husband not thought of divorcing her?Penn

“Where did Penny go? Tell her to come down to see me now!”Aurelia was truly angry tonight, and her expression was stern.If something happened to Caleb, Penny would never be able to compensate for the damages!Lucy was somewhat afraid of Aurelia. This woman could sometimes be unreasonable and showed no courtesy to Ms. Sullivan.“Ms. Bailey, Ms. Sullivan is out.”Upon hearing this, Aurelia’s anger intensified.“She’s outside even after being married. Who knows if she’s meeting other men? What time is it? It's almost 11! What could she be busy with all day? Caleb hasn’t been home for three years. Who knows if she has done something to go against the Fergersons? If it comes to that, I’ll make sure the Sullivans pay!”Lucy swallowed, fearing Aurelia might blame Penny for Mr. Fergerson’s allergy. Mr. Fergerson had an allergic reaction outside and then returned to Dawn Haven Villa, so it obviously had nothing to do with Dawn Haven Villa.“Ms. Bailey, Ms. Sullivan’s dog hasn’t been h

“Ms. Castillo.”Penny’s gaze sharply pierced the other person.“I’ve been holding back on account of that medicine you once gave me.”Belle’s face looked very unpleasant, and she sneered coldly.“Why don’t you say that in front of June, Penny? Since you flirted with someone else’s man, don’t blame her for coming after you. You should also join the homeowners’ group chat. Go take a look at how the residents in this building are cursing you.”Homeowners’ group chat?Penny had not joined that yet.However, with June causing such a scene, it was likely everyone knew by now. This society was already hard on women. No one wanted to hear her side of the story. Everyone just wanted to be entertained.When one person called her a loose woman, maybe not everyone would believe it.However, when two or three more followed suit, then everyone would.These residents would likely cause her trouble later on.After all, this area was known as a zone for the newly rich.
