Raven's phone rang at that moment. It was Silas calling, asking where she was."I'm downstairs. I'll be right back. Yeah, I know. You go ahead and talk to Ms. Sullivan for a while."She stood up after taking the pill, but her wrist was caught by Sam."Raven."He almost pleaded with her, "Can you not go..."Before he could finish, Raven splashed the remaining half cup of warm water she had not drunk on his face.His head was already injured by her, and there was even blood flowing down. He looked so weak, but what did it have to do with her?​Compared to the injuries she had suffered, what he was experiencing now was nothing.Water dripped down Sam's cheeks as he heard her say, "Who are you to me to meddle in who I sleep with?"Even so, his hand refused to let go. He was gripping her tightly with an unfathomably deep pair of eyes.Anyone else seeing him like this would be scared. After all, he was known as a mad dog in the Imperial City circle.He used to do Barrett's dirty w

Caleb carried Penny down, and then Sam drove away.Had he not seen the flashing gun barrel in the rearview mirror earlier, he would not have reacted in time. Penny was now targeted, and bringing her to Caleb was the safest option.As she was being carried by someone, Penny quickly regained her senses.She raised her eyes slightly, only to see a familiar chin. She felt a shiver in her heart."Put me down."Caleb's face still bore the mark of a slap as he set her down on the ground.Penny attempted to walk away but was stopped by him."Someone just tried to kill you."Her steps halted, and she could not help but find it amusing.She looked at him mockingly, even scornfully. "Do you know who wants to kill me?"Caleb remained silent, so she stepped closer."It must be your current girlfriend. What you did in the private room tonight made her want to kill me. The knife wound on Winona's stomach is probably her doing as well. "Mr. Fergerson, by bringing me into Kensington Garden

Caleb glanced at Penny with lowered eyelashes. "I'll go back first.""Okay."After Penny went back inside with the umbrella, she noticed Blanche had left water trails along the way as he was wet from the rain. Her brows furrowed. "Go stay over there."There was a large dryer on one side, specifically for drying pets. Blanche quickly sat in front of it when it was turned on.Unable to sleep, Penny looked out the first-floor window to see Caleb leaving. His figure seems lonely.She felt no sympathy. His temper needed addressing. If it did not change, there was indeed no point in staying together.Caleb walked out of Dawn Haven Villa. His car was waiting outside, with Sebastian in the driver's seat.Once inside, Sebastian handed him a clean towel."Mr. Fergerson."Caleb wiped his hair casually and looked out at the heavy rain.After stopping the car at Kensington Gardens, he first made a call to Ethan."I don't agree with my engagement to Khloe Strauss. I won't see Khloe anym

Zuri laughed on the other end, her lips curling up."Dear, you're experiencing the bloom of young love. This is no problem. I'll discuss it with your father right away. Rest assured, I'll definitely come to Imperial City to support you, but there are some matters here that need to be handled first."Khloe's eyes were filled with joy. She knew her mother loved her the most.Meanwhile, Zuri was spending the afternoon with a group of noble ladies. They were all meticulously dressed to impress, with some even wearing small hats indicative of traditional Americana attire.One of the ladies set down her coffee cup to ask Zuri, "Madam Youngblood, have you still not found your sister?"Zuri slowly shook her head. "No. After so many years, she has probably passed away.""What a pity. She was a genius in the field of medicine. How could she just disappear like that? And right before she was supposed to marry into the Strausses too. She even fled the night before the wedding."Otherwise, t

Compared to other women who mocked and harmed Penny because of Caleb, Mabel's attitude was much more favorable.Penny's fondness for her surged instantly."Ms. Mackenzie, you did the right thing by not getting involved with him. You two are not suitable."Mabel laughed again, finishing her coffee just as the school bell rang outside."I apologize. My brother is getting out of class. He's in his senior year of high school, and I promised to join him for lunch. Given the tight schedule for his final year, I asked him to come here. I hope you won't mind, Ms. Sullivan."Penny had researched beforehand and knew Mabel had a younger brother—not by blood but adopted. Nonetheless, the details of the adoption were known only to Mabel herself.Soon, she saw a tall teenager, about 18 years old, crossing the street toward them. He was handsome and youthful, with several classmates around him. However, he and Mabel shared a similarly cool demeanor.Seeing Mabel, he quickly excused himself fro
