He put all the files back and neatly stacked them as if they had never been opened.He did not even know why he had come here to humiliate himself. How long had she known Caspian?Why had she come to his side?Why had she lied to him and said that the man was named Casby?Caleb had too many questions to ask.Nonetheless, he guessed that he might not like the answers.It was nothing more than knowing that he was just a substitute—a substitute for his brother.His eyes instantly turned cold. When everyone used to say he could not compare to Caspian, he simply did not want to argue. He just chose to join the military.He did not want to compete with Caspian for anything, and he actually thought his brother was a pretty good guy.However, it was human nature to be selfish. Being ignored all the time would inevitably lead to resentment.Even so, he learned to let go of these resentments. After Caspian's death, Caleb even took over the Fergersons.It was all because he cared for h
After hanging up the phone, Caleb went to his study to deal with business matters.He forced himself not to think about Penny, but Lucy called him."Mr. Fergerson, I can't reach Ms. Sullivan on her phone. I'm worried."Hearing this, Caleb wanted to hang up immediately because both Lucy and other employees of S.M. believed that Penny's disappearance was related to him.Lucy only knew that Sir Fergerson had passed away but did not know that Penny was responsible for it. Thus, she was still worried about Penny.Caleb was not the type to sow discord, especially not in front of Lucy. He did resent Penny, but he could not bring himself to expose her shortcomings."She's on a business trip. She might be back later," he said before hanging up. His focus returned to the documents in front of him.However, Lucy called again."Mr. Fergerson, Nani and Blanche seem quite listless, especially Nani. Whenever Ms. Sullivan disappears for a while, Nani refuses to eat or drink. She adores you so
Mason thought it was unlikely Laura would return home that evening and thus got to his feet. “I’ll be right there.” “Mason, are you dating Laura Jennings?”Lissy had seen Laura at the hospital multiple times, and Laura was an extremely kind person. No matter how much of a fuss Lissy kicked up, Laura always tolerated her.Lissy hated seeing that woman spending time with Mason. After all, she was Mason’s true fiancée. They just had not made their relationship public yet. Besides, Mason had been working hard all these years so that he could afford her medical fees. “No, we’re just good friends, Lissy. I’ll come and take care of you right now. Don’t overthink things. You should stay in the hospital and focus on recovering.” Lissy heaved a sigh of relief, and her tone turned considerably more gentle.“I knew it. You’re the best, Mason.” Mason got out of bed and began getting dressed. However, Laura returned home just as he was about to head out. Laura was a gorgeous woman
“I agree I’ve been neglecting your feelings recently, Laura. I’ll discuss things with Lissy. She truly is too reliant on me.” Laura felt apologetic upon hearing what Mason said. Then again, she genuinely did not like seeing her boyfriend constantly on the move because of another woman. She drew in a deep breath and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. “Alright, I’m going to leave now.” When she finished speaking, she grabbed the nearby keys and left hurriedly. The gentle smile on Mason’s face vanished once she was gone. It was replaced with a gloomy look as he wiped his mouth. His breathing turned ragged when he recalled how their bodies had intertwined just now. He seemed to have become somewhat addicted to the show. However, he had to keep reminding himself that all this was nothing but a game. As he lowered his gaze, he left the premises as well.…Laura first dropped by Fergerson Corporation to try her luck. After all, Caleb was a workaholic, and it was possible he w
She was slightly shocked and grew even more worried for Penny. “Caleb Fergerson, you didn’t give a damn about her during the three years you spent overseas, but she never forgot about the kindness Sir Fergerson showed her. "She even treated Sir Fergerson as her biological grandfather. She'd never hurt him. If you refuse to believe this, what do you even mean when you say you like her?“Penpen never told me much about what went on between you guys. I always advised her not to care too deeply about you when you first started getting involved with each other because your heart belonged to another woman. "She always said she wouldn’t fall for you, but her eyes started to light up whenever she mentioned you—no matter how big of a jerk you were.” Tears nearly began streaming down Laura’s face when she thought of how Penny might be in trouble.“You’re the one who caused her to end up where she is right now. How could you just abandon her without a second thought? Are all men this fi
Penny got thrown into the room again after being brought back from the bar. She heard Casby talking on the phone. The plane was going to take off in two hours, and he was probably going to take her to the airport soon. The aftereffects of the drugs had not worn off yet, probably to prevent any additional incidents from occurring.Her limbs felt like jelly.She was still dressed in the outfit she had worn to the pub. It was so she would not be recognized by anyone else during the journey. “This stuff on your stomach is synthetic skin. It’s a much more sophisticated technique than those who stuff pillows beneath their shirts.” Casby grinned evilly as he patted her stomach. “Let’s go, darling.” Listening to him call her that disgusted Penny. She still did not know what his motive was, and the unknown made things all the more terrifying. She was helped into the car, where she leaned her head against the window.Someone else got into the driver’s seat to drive them, and Cas
Laura was surprised. She made a mental note that she would sing him praises once they found Penny. “Let’s do as he says, Mr. Yonder.” The cars at the scene immediately began speeding after that car. That included Caleb’s car, which Laura had gotten into.“Something about that car seems off to you, Mr. Fergerson?” Caleb did not say anything. Due to the distance between them, he had only gotten a look at one-half of the man’s face. However, it greatly resembled the face in his memories. He tightened his hold on the steering wheel and stepped on the gas. When Casby looked through the rearview mirror and spotted the cars coming after them, he clicked his tongue. “They’ve got their eyes on us. We probably won’t be able to leave the country tonight. Throw them off our trail and get a stand-in over here.”The man in the driver’s seat stepped on the gas as he began making calls. Penny’s eyes lit up after hearing what he said. Casby looked at her and scoffed.“Caleb’s car i
This was on the side of the highway, and the car had now reached the outskirts with tall greenery below.Penny could not hear anything. She only saw the person in front shout, "Sir!"The car came to a stop, and the force pushed Penny straight into the front seat.The driver got out without hesitation and jumped in Casby's direction.Penny took advantage of this opportunity and slowly crawled out of the car.Due to her lack of strength, she even fell down as she tried to get out.Considering the current state she was in, she could only crawl. Plus, the effects of the medicine had not worn off yet, so she could only crawl a few meters away.Sharp stones scraped her palms, leaving them covered in blood. The car that had stopped on the side of the highway had been hit by another car and was sent flying.Despite the loud explosion, Penny's mind was focused on Casby's expression just moments ago.It was as if the Casby from a long, long time ago had returned.Her chest hurt a bit,
