A smile appeared on Sir Fergerson’s face as he patted her hand. “So, you’re saying you’re willing to have a child with Caleb?” Penny nodded, her lips curling up as sincerity filled her eyes. “Yes, I’m willing.” Sir Fergerson was practically beaming ear to ear. “That’s good. You can rest assured that no matter whether it’s a boy or a girl, I will love the child all the same.” Penny did not dare to say too much on this topic, fearing it would raise Sir Fergerson’s expectations too much. If those expectations were not met, it would be even harder for his body to bear.She timely diverted the conversation to other topics and spent an hour with him before leaving the Fergersons’ mansion. As she walked out and was about to get in the car, she ran into Jade. Jade was wearing large sunglasses on her face. She did not expect to bump into Penny here and was somewhat surprised. “Penny? What are you doing here?” She did not see Penny coming out of the Fergersons’ mansion. She only
Caleb’s eyes were filled with a strong hint of mockery, and his lips tightened coldly at the corners.“Grandpa, did she say this herself?”“Yes, Penny is a sensible girl.”Jade handed over the medicinal concoction and wanted to add her two cents. What did he mean by that girl was sensible? Who in the entire Imperial City would not want to have a child with Caleb?That woman was truly scheming to even say such things to Grandpa.Out of consideration for Grandpa’s health, Caleb would definitely agree, even if it was just a verbal agreement.She truly wanted to see in two days just how thick-skinned that woman was to dare to speak of such things!However, when Jade met Caleb’s gaze, she had no choice but to slowly shut her mouth.Caleb handed the medicinal concoction to his grandfather and said, “I’ll do my best, Grandpa.”The response was the same as before, but whether he actually made an effort or not, Sir Fergerson had no idea anyway.“I’m going to Dawn Haven Villa tonight t
"Don’t worry, Mr. Cain. I’ve already prepared the contract. As long as you come in person, our cooperation can be established.”A gleam of light flashed across Sherman’s eyes. Three-S Corporation had stood firm in the country for many years, and over half of the renovation teams relied on their supplies. If he could sign a contract with Three-S Corporation at a low price, it would indeed be a big profit for him.“Alright, Mr. Tate. I’ll be there in half an hour.”Mr. Cain hung up the phone with a beaming smile. He instructed his assistant to make preparations and grabbed his coat from the side. He then headed for the elevator.As he arrived downstairs and just as his assistant pulled the car up in front of him, he heard a voice from behind.“Mr. Cain.”Sherman froze, and the smile on his face vanished as he turned to look at Penny.Penny maintained her cold demeanor and nodded slightly. “Since you didn’t answer my call, I could only wait here and hope that our previous contract
Penny felt cornered."Mr. Tate, let me know where and when. It seems that I’m left with no other choice but to agree to your request."Jeremy smiled as he liked how straightforward Penny was.A wise woman would recognize her circumstances.He heard that she put Andy Williams in his place and that she was romantically involved with Caleb. He found it interesting to conquer a woman like her."Penny, I'll send a car to come fetch you."At Pavilion Tower, Penny got out of the car and immediately saw Jeremy standing at the entrance. He looked like a ladies’ man with his white suit and the large bouquet of roses in his hand.He walked toward her as soon as she stood still."Hey Penny, you look wonderful. These are for you."Penny did not take the flowers but smiled and asked, "Mr. Tate, do you treat all your business partners like this?""Penny, you’re more than a business partner to me. Let's go. I booked the largest private room in the restaurant. I was told that we can see the w
Selina's complexion turned even paler. She thought that the previous incident was the most embarrassing moment in her life. Unexpectedly, the situation that she was currently in topped that.Tears welled up in her eyes. Selina felt that her dignity was being trampled on the ground, especially since Jeremy was around. She could not take the shame and ran away crying.Penny did not react to her outburst and closed the elevator doors.She was calm and held her own with these well-known socialites. Penny came fully prepared for her negotiation with Jeremy.Jeremy stood beside her, his tone gentle and his intention self-evident when he spoke."Penny, there'll be a grand fireworks display in Imperial City tonight. We can see the show from our private room."Penny raised her eyebrows. Grand fireworks display?The entire sky above Imperial City would be shrouded in fireworks every New Year. Those from other cities would make a trip over just to admire it.However, she had never heard o
Sir Fergerson did not know the extent of the awful things that Simon had done in private. If he knew, he would likely destroy the Tates.What was more, Simon made a move on Penny when she was still a student.The sweat on Jeremy's forehead began to drip. Penny did not lay it all out, but he knew that it was a threat.If he continued to antagonize her and cause further delays to Caleb's project, Penny would likely mention to Sir Fergerson that Simon had tried to rape her.At that time, it would surely be a catastrophe for the Tates.Jeremy did not expect Penny to have a trump card like this. He opened his mouth but took a long time before saying anything."I underestimated you, Penny."He thought that she was just a confident woman and did not expect that she would have a hidden identity.Jeremy heard that Caleb got married three years ago, but he had never met his wife. He never thought that she would be sitting in front of him, and what was more, he and his father had already
The atmosphere in Caleb’s private room was much more serious compared to Jeremy’s. The room was reserved for Caleb and his friends all year round. It was even furnished according to his personal style.The building that they were in belonged to Fergerson Corporation. In fact, most of the well-known buildings in the city belonged to them. Fergerson Corporation was present across many industries. When Winston brought up the possibility that Penny might be wooed by Jeremy, Caleb turned to the other side and glanced out the window.He frowned. ‘Do women like this?’Winston patted Finn Sanders on the shoulder and said, "Finn, did you know that Penny likes Caleb? When we were at the casino, she gave me one billion just to leave an impression on Caleb. Tsk tsk, that's a large sum, and she parted with it without blinking an eye."Caleb frowned and stopped Winston from rambling on."Let's eat."Winston blew his cover wide open."Are you jealous that a woman who fancies you is now being
Caleb's chest was pressed against her back, and he put an arm around her waist.The elevator had stopped at a certain floor. The best thing for them to do was to wait for the rescuers to come.He should have let her go, but neither of them moved.Penny did not notice that they were in an intimate position. They were the only ones in the elevator, so leaning on each other made them feel safer—not to mention that there was only a railing on the side.She even wanted to back up a little more to get closer and feel more secure.It was not until Caleb breathed next to her ear that she realized how close they were.Through the glowing elevator wall, she saw that he had embraced her in his arms.Penny subconsciously wanted to get away from him, but he reacted before she could as he noticed how impatient she seemed. "Don't move. Let’s wait for someone to come help us."Penny looked down and slowed her breathing. She forced herself to ignore the distance between the two.Caleb had pr
