Penny had wanted to ask if Logan had been threatening her, but Daphne's eyes were darting around nervously. She was clearly afraid of their interaction being noticed by others."Alright, Daphne. Here's my company's address. I'll be waiting for your message."Daphne only glanced at the address before handing back the card Penny had given her."I'll remember it."Her caution spoke volumes about the pressure she was under.When Penny got back to her company, she busied herself with paperwork while waiting.Around five in the evening, she received a local express delivery, which oddly enough, contained over 70 dollars.Inside were three scripts, all handwritten.As she skimmed through the first one, a spark of amazement lit up her eyes.It was an exceptional detective drama, with a plot that kept twisting and turning until the very end, when the identity of the murderer was finally revealed.The detailed descriptions of the murders were so chilling they made her scalp tingle.It

Sebastian was taken aback. This did not seem like something Penny would do. She was not usually this straightforward."Alright."Caleb got into the car alone, a faint smile playing at the corners of his mouth.Meanwhile, Penny, freshly dressed and ready to leave, received a call from Zach. He asked her in a roundabout way if she was prepared.Assuming he was swamped and had not had time to check his messages, she reiterated the location of the movie theater.It was situated on the fourth floor of a nearby shopping mall.Zach's eyes sparkled at the information, and he immediately set off in his car.However, the first to arrive was Caleb.Caleb had never been to a movie theater before and was unfamiliar with the routine. He found a spot to stand and wait for Penny.His towering height and formal, well-tailored suit made him a rare sight at the theater entrance. His model-like physique stood out among the crowd, drawing attention.Oblivious to the stares, he waited for about te

Caleb's icy demeanor silenced Liam momentarily. Trying to be helpful, Liam suggested, "Maybe Penny's just more comfortable with someone ordinary, like her husband. You're... Well, you're exceptional. She might find it overwhelming.""And when did you see me being upset about it?" Caleb's voice was cold, giving nothing away."I'm not hung up on her," Caleb stated defiantly as he walked away. His every step was weighed down by unspoken emotions.“She's divorced now. He's just her ex. And from what I hear, she probably dumped him. He's just a useless man, really."As Caleb made his way back to his car, a thought crossed his mind about how ridiculous it was for him to show up at the movie theater tonight just because of her message. It was almost comical.A surge of anger bubbled up within him. He hopped into his car and hit the gas without a second thought.By the time he pulled up at the hotel, Winston called with news that the movie had raked in an impressive 300 million at the bo

Penny raised her eyebrows. She smiled coolly.“Why don’t you call Sir Fergerson now? I happen to know his number. He told me not too long ago. If you're feeling wronged, just tell him. Besides, the reason why Caleb is so annoyed with me is because I get a kick out of snitching on him right in front of Grandpa Fergerson.”Penny appeared remarkably calm, and Florence was totally outsmarted.Florence had no other merits, except for one—she knew when to act wisely.Her brows furrowed, and she threatened, “I can always come back and get you if you're lying to me.”Penny remained silent. She had said enough to keep Florence from acting immediately.No matter if it was true or false, given Florence's cautious personality, there was no chance she would make a move right away. She would investigate first. At least in the short term, Penny would not have to suffer.As expected, Florence ordered her bodyguards to lock Penny up and began her investigation. However, while Florence's peop

It took Penny two hours to accept that Daphne had passed away. She had only parted ways with Daphne not too long ago.Her head was throbbing, and her emotions swung between anger and a sense of powerlessness.Then, she remembered the letter Daphne left for her. She reckoned that Daphne had already made up her mind when she wrote that letter.Penny's fingertips were trembling. It was easy for this to happen when a person’s emotions ran high.At this moment, she could no longer think straight. She immediately pulled out the recording that Daphne wanted to delete.However, Daphne had just passed away, and her fingers hesitated to press the play button.Just as she was about to put her phone away, Logan walked toward her. His face was filled with sorrow."Miss Penny."Logan sighed heavily and held his chest."Mr. Herron."Logan nodded and sighed deeply again."None of us expected something like this to happen. Did you come to see Daphne today?""Yes.""How many scripts of Da
