Caleb's frown deepened as he tossed away the cigarette in his hand."Hansel said Penny was born from Holly's affair, right?"Finn flipped through the documents in front of him, uncovering a more sordid truth."It's likely. Holly Zimmerman... used to work in Union County's red-light district. As you know, security wasn't as good 20 years ago. Hansel was a small-time thug who had served time for assaulting a neighbor's daughter. "After his release, he married Holly, who had decided to part ways with her old life. He also has a crippled brother, whom he caught Holly seducing. When the child was born, Hansel suspected it was his brother's daughter, so he sold her. "The hospital records also show that the child's father is Hansel's crippled brother."The revelation was uncomfortable. It was a mother's affair with her husband's brother, leading to the birth of a child. Not to mention, the child's father was a poor cripple of questionable character."Caleb, I've interrogated the coup

Khloe gazed at a plate of fruit on the coffee table, looking grim. Florence, that fool, had already gotten herself thrown into jail, and Jeanie was under house arrest once again. Now, she was uncertain about who to use for her plans.She turned to Wind, her mouth curving slightly."Wind, are you also well-versed in computers?"Wind lowered his lashes. "The Strausses provided training in this area, but I'm not a professional in this field, so my knowledge isn't extensive.""As long as you have some knowledge, that's enough. I'll send you the money, and you can go online and expose Penny's family background. She and her company are still in the spotlight. Once the netizens know her origins, they'll start messing with her.""Understood, Ms. Khloe. I'll handle it," Wind responded.Her orders were akin to a decree for Wind. He took a laptop aside and began to work.Khloe did not pay much attention to Wind's appearance, knowing only that he was specially trained by the Strausses.She

Sean was genuinely worried that his family would blame him if anything were to happen to Khloe. He could not control her anymore; everyone knew she was the treasured child at home, especially in the eyes of their mother, who would gladly take a bullet for her.If something were to happen to her, it would disrupt the peace of the entire Imperial City.Nonetheless, Caleb was a formidable figure as well.Sean immediately called Ethan.A cold voice answered the phone, "Speak."Hearing his voice made Sean somewhat apprehensive."Ethan, you should come to Imperial City.""Made another mess?""Khloe is really stirring up trouble here. She's obsessed with Caleb Fergerson and acting recklessly. You told me before not to provoke Caleb, but Khlo keeps crossing his boundaries. Caleb even called to warn me."Ethan was silent for a few seconds before asking."Khlo wants to date him?""Yes, but Caleb has someone he likes. He'd make a big fuss for her.""Which family is she from?""She's

Caleb sensed her mood and rested his chin on her chest. "What's wrong?"His tone was almost coquettish.Perhaps no one else had ever seen this side of Caleb Fergerson.Penny's defenses instantly dropped."It's nothing. I'm just thinking about how busy you are and how you've handled so many things for my company."He chuckled softly, playing with her hand."Penpen, once we get through this busy period, I'll take you on a vacation.""Okay."Penny agreed verbally, but she had a feeling that the so-called vacation would be indefinitely postponed.Caleb stood up, leading her to sit beside him."I want to take you for another health check-up."Holly's background and the diseases she could carry were too many. If there were any diseases transmitted from the womb, it was better to know sooner.Moreover, Hansel's brother, besides being a cripple, seemed to have other defects.He was worried about Penny and wanted to take precautions.However, the last thing Penny wanted to care ab

Penny had not expected Caleb to bring Blanche back so forcefully.Blanche's temperament was much like Caleb's—strong and arrogant toward strangers but instantly submissive upon seeing a special someone.They were now back at Dawn Haven Villa, where Caleb smacked Blanche's backside in a fit of anger."You're too quick to acknowledge someone else as your master! What's the point of me raising you!" he exclaimed, his hand striking with even more force.Penny was seated nearby with a fruit plate prepared by Lucy. She nibbled on a piece of fruit as she watched Caleb. She somehow thought of how he might sternly reprimand his own son in the future with the same strict attitude.She then felt her cheeks warming up.Caleb was oblivious to her thoughts as he was busy scolding Blanche.Blanche was eager to please, so he lay down and wagged his body, signaling for Caleb not to be mad.Caleb found himself both irritated and amused. As he was about to continue his lecture, he caught sight of
