Winona, still sitting on the sofa, curved her lips slightly. “Tom, you have a higher education than me, and I used to think I wasn't good enough for you. But now, I think you’re not worthy of me, so I want to call off the engagement.”These words clearly struck a nerve with Tommy.He had graduated from Imperial University, while Winona was from a regular college. How could she claim he was not good enough for her?Moreover, he was not earning a low income.Tommy, unwilling to reflect on his infidelity, scoffed. “Fine. It seems you’ve found a better choice now, so you’ve changed. Win, I never thought you'd be such a person.”Muddying the waters and shifting blame were the tactics men loved to use.At this moment, Winona felt that not only was this man unworthy of her, but she also regretted being so blind as to be with him. She had wasted seven whole years of her youth!“Tommy Chesterfield, it’s clear here that you’re the one who’s found a better option, yet you're accusing me of

Another ten minutes passed, and the phone remained silent.Caleb felt increasingly irritable. Just then, Winston called him out for drinks, so he went.However, as he arrived at the bar, he bumped into Jeremy.Jeremy was flamboyantly dressed that night, like a peacock.Seeing Caleb, he immediately started shouting, “Isn’t that Mr. Ex-Husband?”Caleb’s face darkened. He did not want to respond to such low-level provocation, but Jeremy was relentless.“By the way, did you ever ask Penny about those nights she went back to the villa with Sean, Mr. Ex-Husband?” Jeremy taunted.Jeremy knew his leverage well. First, he did not care how many men Penny had been with; he liked her for who she was.However, Caleb was different.Caleb had always stayed away from women. Although there were rumors about him and Charlotte, they had never kissed, so he was definitely conservative in this regard.As expected, Caleb’s face turned utterly dark when Jeremy mentioned this.There was a flicker o

“Nathan.”She patted his shoulder.Yet suddenly, Nathan vomited without warning.Penny hurriedly called a nurse. After some examination, they determined it was a reaction caused by excessive fright.Penny waited there for another three hours, but Nathan still did not wake up.She had no choice but to pay for two hospital attendants to watch over him.As she was about to leave the ward, Nathan suddenly spoke up, “The Fergersons... Someone from the Fergersons. Pen... They chopped off my leg.”Nathan was no fool. After his foot was chopped off, driven by a strong will to survive, he crawled out of that alley. The two bodyguards had been under the streetlight, discussing how Jade had changed.Nathan, nearly fainting from pain, only caught a few words.“Are all the Fergersons a bit mentally unstable?”One was Aurelia, while the other was Jade. Both were mentally disturbed.Thus, Nathan knew that his leg had been chopped off by someone from the Fergersons.He did not know who the

“Nathan, you should rest for a while. Your emotions are quite unstable right now.”Nathan curled up, his lips trembling slightly.“They were terrifying. There were so many guns, so many knives. My mother crawled to the door, only to be dragged back. They were looking for something, something important to them. An emblem, yes! An emblem, to become the leader of the organization. They wanted the emblem.”Nathan mumbled to himself for a while while touching the empty space where his leg should be. His voice was quivering again.“My leg’s gone, my leg’s gone. I have to find Penny and tell her… I have no money. I’m so hungry.”Seeing him like this, Penny felt her heart aching.“It’s alright now. You’ve found me.”Nathan fell silent, seemingly soothed by her.Penny took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions.“You need to rest well now. I’ll have someone take care of you these few days. First, you need to recover. You’re too thin right now.”He was so thin that he was just skin

Outside the police station, news of the incident at the Fergerson Estate quickly reached the other Fergersons.Before this, Miles had already been forced by the old man to leave Imperial City. Now, with Jade’s incident and Aurelia’s situation, the entire Fergerson family was in chaos.Caleb was still in a meeting when he received a call from a staff member at the Fergerson Estate.Aurelia was hospitalized, and her life was hanging by a thread.Jade was in shock and had started talking nonsense.“Who did it?”“It was Penny Sullivan! She’s gone mad!”Caleb stiffened, thinking he had misheard. “Who?”“Penny! Penny came by today to see Ms. Fergerson and Madam Bailey. They had an altercation, and in her agitation, she pushed Madam Bailey down the stairs and hit Ms. Fergerson with a vase. When we arrived, we saw her holding the vase.”Penny could not have done this, but the staff insisted.“We've called the police. Penny has been taken away by them, Mr. Fergerson. Do you want to vi
