After Penny mentioned Leo, Zane's anger that had been extinguished was ignited once more. He was annoyed at her tone and felt a little less guilty toward his dead wife.Penny did not want to argue with him anymore. "Uncle Leo didn't do anything wrong."Zane's mood sank again. He wanted to say something, but he pursed his lips tightly and only looked at his daughter in disappointment.Penny and the property agent got into the car and ignored them.The property agent was driving and noticed her uneasy expression, so he changed the subject, "The house in this area is great as well. The facilities are complete, and it only takes three minutes to walk to the nearest shopping mall. The elementary and high schools in the area are great, and the environment is quiet. I actually have a better house in my hand, but it may be more expensive.”Penny was not in the mood to worry about the price of the house. She wanted to treat herself right and accepted that she would be paying more for a nic
Just as he was about to push the dog away, he saw her bark fiercely at the passersby. The passersby were a couple, probably white-collar workers from a nearby office building.They had a child with them, who was frightened and crying at that moment.The woman shielded the child behind her and stared at Caleb angrily."What's the matter with you? You don't even leash your dog when you bring it out for a walk? How lowly of you! What if your dog bites my child? The mortality rate of rabies is 100%. Since you've decided to own a pet, you should be a little more responsible!"Her husband noticed Caleb's demeanor and the luxury car worth tens of millions behind him, so he hastily tugged his wife while saying, "Let it be."He knew that they could not afford to offend a man as such.The woman was ready to protect their child, so she had no scruples about Caleb's identity. As she wiped her daughter's tears, she snorted coldly and said, "Do you think you can get away with anything just bec
Caleb heard the familiar voice and looked up to see Penny, who was already in front of him.Only then did he glance at the number on the dog tag and found that it was indeed somewhat familiar.The moment Nani saw Penny, Nani stood up excitedly and frantically wagged her tail.Penny held the cash in her hand and could not bring herself to pass it to Caleb, so she instead gave it to Sebastian."Thank you. Nani sneaked out when we weren’t paying attention. I'm sorry for the trouble."Sebastian looked at the cash, hesitated for a second, and took it calmly.Penny took the leash from his hand, only to notice that the leash had Hermes’ logo near the handle.…‘They got a dog leash from Hermes? The 500 that I gave is far from enough…’She took out her phone and said, "How much is this dog leash? I'll transfer the money to you."At the same time, she was grumbling in her heart, ‘It sure is easy to make money from the rich. Even a dog leash has to be branded.’"Miss Penny, don’t worr
As soon as Penny walked in, she saw a woman about 28 years old sitting on the sofa watching TV with her legs crossed while her aunt, Sue Larson, was cooking. The woman was acting as though she was the queen.Jenni Hayes saw Penny and put down the apple she was eating."Hey, the city gal is back. The house is messy, but feel free to sit anywhere."Leo and Sue were embarrassed but did not say anything.Sue pulled Penny over, looked at her left and right, and could not help but ask worriedly, "You've lost weight. Is it because your dad is too busy spoiling that woman to pay any attention to you? That must be the case. Your mother has been dead for many years. Men are all ungrateful. After they meet someone more beautiful, they no longer think about their ex-wives."Jenni was Penny's cousin-in-law. She married Leo and Sue’s son.She had a vitriolic look on her face as she glanced at the kitchen."Why are you wasting time catching up with Penny when you’re not done cooking?"Sue had
It was also the first time that Lewis saw a Bentley, and he could not help but show off a little."Penny, do you see that car? I heard it cost tens of millions. The investor who’s here tonight is a big shot. The person in charge drank with him for several rounds. He said that the white wall looked a little empty, so I thought of you. These investors have eccentric tastes, and someone who drives this kind of car may have a bad temper. Nonetheless, don't put too much pressure on yourself."Penny could hear the envy in his tone. She smiled and said, "I'll head in now. Uncle Lewis, you can go back."Union Square was the best accommodation in Union County. It was said to be built based on the standard of a five-star hotel. It had never been open to the public and had only received investors of Union County.It was also the first time that Penny stepped in here.The courtyard’s landscaping was well done. It had three parts, one pavilion, and a rockery fountain. The choice of every piece
Caleb did not reply to her, but he suddenly felt restless and moody.Nani put him on the spot yesterday, indirectly causing a stranger to misunderstand and scold him.He was then chased to Union County and got splashed by paint in the middle of the night. Caleb started to believe that this woman was a jinx in his life.Penny looked at the man's extraordinarily stern face and then realized that she was not hallucinating.She knew that she had caused trouble, so she could only try to make up for it. She hurriedly said, "Mr. Fergerson, did you bring any spare clothes? You can change out of this and I'll wash it for you."Caleb glanced at the paint tray she was holding in her hand, then turned around and took a few steps forward.She stood still, annoyed that something inopportune would always happen whenever she bumped into Caleb.When he noticed that she was not following him, he said in a deep voice, "Didn't you offer to wash my shirt for me? You should take some responsibility s
The room turned so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.Caleb's hand that was on his temple paused momentarily as he looked up at her.After Penny finished speaking, she thought that what she said was a little inappropriate, so she smiled and added, "Don’t mind me."Caleb looked at her and wanted to know if she would take such initiative with other men, and if her husband at home knew about it.He lowered his gaze, his tone becoming even more impolite."Get out."Penny only thought that it was because he did not like contact with the opposite sex and wanted to keep himself for Charlotte Shaw."I’m not trying to do anything, Mr. Fergerson. Have a good night."She had no bad intentions. When she saw her client drunk, she just wanted to help and leave a good impression.Caleb had not responded to her nor made any suggestions about the sketch that she sent him.Although she had always been confident in her work, she was slightly shaken since there was not a word of feedback.
The scene of the night they met came to mind.He remembered that there were two dimples on her lower back. In art, it was referred to as the dimples of Venus.She had her back toward him, her body was curvaceous, and her movements reminded him of the scene where he grabbed her waist and went all out that night.Caleb's eyelashes twitched, and his Adam's apple rolled.The atmosphere became a little amorous. Penny had the paintbrush in her hand and felt her body starting to get warm.She heard his footsteps approaching and felt a rush of heat from her back. She froze, but Caleb just brushed past her and leaned over to grab another brush.His chest and her back only came into contact for a brief moment, but she felt as though his body heat penetrated her skin through the fabric.Penny remained frozen and did not dare to move. Caleb dipped his paintbrush into her paint tray before painting a few strokes on the wall.It did not damage the artistic conception of the painting as his t
