Penny saw that Francis was in a really bad condition, so she walked over and began massaging his shoulders and neck.“Sir Fergerson, I learned a massage technique online. Let me give it a try. It’s supposed to relax your muscles.”What Francis loved most about Penny was her straightforwardness in everything she did. She did not have any hidden intentions.He put down the chess piece he was holding. “Alright, alright. If only Caleb could be as understanding as you, I’d be content.”Caleb was raised by Francis, so Francis knew him well.Caleb was a child who had achieved greatness in his teens, so he was arrogant and ruthless.Penny stood behind the old man and gently began the massage.Francis sighed.“Caleb has a bad temper. Although he doesn’t speak much, when pushed to the edge, he’s capable of doing anything.”She paused her movements, wondering about the extent of what 'anything' meant.Raising his hand, Francis patted hers affectionately.“Whenever you feel wronged, rem

After hanging up the phone, Caleb stared at the pile of documents in front of him, unable to focus on a single word.The thought of another man being by Penny's side tonight was unbearable.Returning to the hotel and lying in bed, he could still smell her fragrance on the sheets.It enveloped him from all sides, permeating every pore.Caleb found himself unable to sleep. He got up in his pajamas and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking.The window in the corner was open, and the breeze that wafted in made his hair sway slightly.With a cigarette between his fingers, he felt as if even the wind carried her scent.The memory of pinning her against this window, her look of fear yet undeniable reliance on him, was tantalizing.Caleb’s expression changed instantly. Initially, he was just holding the cigarette lightly with his lips. Now, he bit down on it, as if trying to suppress the surging emotions within.He took out his phone and sent Penny a message: ​[Asleep?]Those

Penny’s body was trembling from the pain. In the hallway, Laura was imploring her father to urgently contact Quentin.She was not close to Quentin, and calling him directly might not yield any favors. Only her father had that influence.Laura’s father had tried reaching Quentin but then relayed the news, “It seems that Charlotte from the Shaw family has also been injured. Quentin is attending to her first. Once he’s done there, he’ll come back to us.”Infuriated, Laura retorted, “Is Charlotte Shaw’s injury more severe than Penny’s?! That bitch is probably just faking it!"After her outburst, she heard her father reprimanding her, “I’ve told you before, you need to control your temper. You’re becoming more reckless with your words every day.”Tears welled up in Laura’s eyes.“Dad, Penny uses that hand to paint. If she can’t recover, her talent will be wasted.”“Let's wait. If you insist on having Quentin personally treat her, then we must wait for him to finish with the Shaws fir

Penny had stayed in the hospital for three days, paying special attention to her hand. She dared not move it, fearing that even the slightest movement would prevent it from recovering.Laura had been staying with her these three days. She noticed that Penny no longer cared about anything other than the recovery of her hand.Even when Caleb’s name was mentioned in front of her, there was not a flicker of emotion in her eyes.On the third day, the doctor informed Penny that she could leave but reminded her to continue taking good care of her hand.These days, Penny had received messages from Caleb, but she had not replied.Now, Caleb had stopped sending her messages.Not long after Penny left the hospital, she received an invitation from a villa owner she had previously collaborated with. He invited her to attend a wine tasting event that evening.It was an intimate gathering held in the house she had once renovated, which was why she was invited.The host was Wilson from Zatan T

At that moment, Penny had already stepped outside. Lucas’ car was parked not far away. She had just messaged him to come over.After all, Lucas was still getting paid. She wanted to make use of him before he left for Union County.As Penny turned the corner, she planned to head toward Lucas’ car.However, Caleb quickly grabbed her uninjured wrist.They had not completely left the garden, and there were still a few scattered people around. As they saw Caleb, their gazes shifted toward them.Penny lowered her head, looking at his slender fingertips with furrowed brows.“Mr. Fergerson, what can I help you with?”Caleb released her wrist. “I’ve been messaging you these past few days, but you never replied.”“Since they weren't related to Kensington Gardens, I didn’t think I needed to respond.”“Why didn’t you appreciate me drinking on your behalf earlier?" “Mr. Fergerson, you’re my client. When do clients shield their service providers from drinking alcohol?”With the word 'cli
