Chapter 21 It’s Always About Business With Her
Penny was taking a sip of her lemonade and almost choked when she heard Leilani’s question.‘Of course I know that he’s married. I can’t be cheated on with myself, can I?’ She took a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth slowly.“I’m aware. What about it?”Her tone was nonchalant as if she did not care about Caleb's marriage the least bit.Her calm and breezy attitude made Caleb, who sat opposite her, raise his gaze slightly.Leilani had done her best to embarrass Penny, but it did nothing to her.‘What about it?‘What else is there about it? Isn't my hint obvious enough?‘This woman sure is calm. I don’t know if I should say she has thick skin or that she’s haughty because she’s already gotten Caleb’s love.’Leilani was upset. However, she could not let herself seem too impatient so as to not be at a disadvantage.She looked at Caleb and returned to her previous gentle attitude.“Caleb, you haven't been here for three years, so you probably don't know that this restau

Chapter 22 What Does Your Husband Work As?
“My husband is just an ordinary programmer.”Penny quickly made up a lie and said, “A marriage needs to be maintained by both parties. I can’t have him working so hard alone.”She pushed the coffee to Caleb and smiled. “He doesn't make a lot of money, but he takes good care of our family.”Penny shared the ideal image she had of her other half.Obviously, Caleb was far from that image in every way.“What about you, Mr. Fergerson? The lady said just now that you’re married. I wonder what kind of person your wife is?”Penny randomly picked a topic to talk about to understand her customer better.After all, Caleb did not even know her name and appearance, so she did not expect an answer from him.Sure enough, Caleb frowned slightly and answered honestly, “I don't know.”‘All I know is that she’s dragging her feet and refusing to get divorced. She didn’t even respond in the slightest when I sent the divorce agreement to the Sullivans.‘What is she waiting for?‘It's nothing more

Chapter 23 Aren’t You Going To Inform Her Husband?
“My husband often works overtime. He’s busy and I don't want to burden him.”Penny placed her hands on her temples and pressed them gently to relieve her double vision.She did not want Caleb to misunderstand her, so she held on to the escalator beside her and motioned to him.“It's nothing serious. Mr. Fergerson, your car is over there. I'll take you to your car.”Caleb lowered his gaze. ‘Last night, her life might have been in danger if she had passed out in the bathroom. Yet she’s still being considerate toward her husband in this situation.’‘I don't know if she's stupid or she loves her other half too much.’Inexplicably, he remembered all the misunderstandings he had about her earlier. He wanted to make amends, so he said, “I’ll send you to the hospital.”Penny held on to the escalator and took a step forward but almost fell.Caleb quickly grabbed her.“Penny?”Penny was hanging by a thread. She had used a lot of strength to hold herself together in the restaurant just

Chapter 24 Is Your Husband Treating You Badly?
Hank was supporting her. There was a look of surprise in his eyes when he heard that.‘Penny is married?’It did not seem like Caleb was joking, judging by his expression.Just as Penny graduated from university, she was invited to join Hank’s studio.Over the past three years, he had never seen her get close to anyone of the opposite sex, so he wondered how she could be married.Caleb noticed the surprise on Hank's face and he raised his eyebrows. “Check her in first."Hank nodded, carefully supported Penny, and walked into the hospital hall.Caleb did not stay too long. After all, he was willing to bring her here because the two would spend some time working together in the future.On the way back to Fergerson Corporation, he suddenly received a call from Sir Fergerson.“Caleb, have you seen Penny? Has she gotten prettier?”After Sir Fergerson spoke a few words, he coughed and had to catch his breath. His illness was severe, and his health was not in the best shape.“Grand

Chapter 25 His Affection Has Nothing To Do With Me
Penny never fought nor made enemies. She was the most sensible woman Hank had ever met.It was hard to imagine that she might have experienced domestic violence.It was no wonder that Hank thought so. Caleb was merciless that night. Ordinary people would never have imagined that making love could leave such shocking marks.Penny felt even more embarrassed.“He’s wonderful to me. Marriage is like drinking water. Those who sip it would know whether it’s warm or not.”Hank looked at her and sighed.“In that case, call your friend or I can't leave with peace of mind.”Penny took out her phone and made a call to Laura Jennings.Unlike her, a so-called member of the Sullivans, Laura was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and was one of her few friends.The two studied different majors when they were in college, but they were assigned to the same dormitory.Laura was occupied these days, so she only arrived at the hospital two hours later. She and Hank exchanged some pleasantries

Chapter 26 Meet Me At The Fergerson Estate, I Have Something To Discuss With You
Laura hit the nail on the head.She had always been straightforward.Penny looked down. It would be a lie if she said she was not disappointed.However, she understood that Zane was getting old. To begin with, he did not have much talent when it came to running a business. It was even more difficult for him to make the right decisions as he got older.Laura caught a glimpse of her expression and could tell that Penny was upset, so she changed the subject. "What do you mean by paying the project fees on time? You're working on a project for Caleb?""Yeah, I’m designing his Kensington Gardens house."Laura's eyes widened instantly. She could not help but give Penny a thumbs up."Penny, I’m impressed. You’re going to design a newlywed house for your husband's mistress? She might not be just a mistress, even. She could also be his second wife."Penny was amused and confessed. "There’s more. Caleb doesn't even know that I'm his wife."Laura was tickled pink. The corners of her mout

Chapter 27 That Woman Is At Fergerson Corporation
The text was from an unknown number, but Penny guessed at a glance that it was Caleb who texted her.‘Meet at the Fergerson Estate?‘He wants to talk about the divorce?’She did not think much about it. Whether she got divorced or not had little effect on her.Penny went through many famous works and crafted a basic design layout in her mind. She planned to go to the site the next day to have a look.The next morning, Penny drove to Caleb's office.Since she was planning to go for a site visit, she had to inform Caleb, the owner. She also had a few minor issues that she wanted to consult with him on.It was the second time she went to the Fergerson Corporation. The front desk receptionist seemed to remember her face and frowned when she saw Penny."Sorry, miss, you need to talk to the Business Development team if you want to discuss any projects. You need to make an appointment to see Mr. Fergerson. Thank you for your cooperation."The last time Penny was there, the receptioni

Chapter 28 I'm Sorry, This Is All My Fault
”I know. Don't worry, I won't let her get her way.”Caleb clearly did not want to talk about that woman.Aurelia knew her son well enough to know that he had no such intentions.However, there was a saying, ‘don't be afraid of thieves stealing but be afraid of thieves thinking about it.’Everyone knew about the situation that the Sullivans were in. They were about to initiate the second round of financing, so they were definitely not willing to lose the Fergersons’ support.It was impossible for him to get divorced and get rid of them for the time being.Caleb hung up the call and put down the phone. “You have ten minutes. Miss Penny, what do you want to talk about?”Penny was not at all affected by the call just now. She replied in a business-like manner, “Mr. Fergerson, can you share a little about your plans for the future? What kind of activities does your lover enjoy? Reading or yoga? How many children do you plan to have in the future?”All of that would affect the layout

Chapter 29 Cousin-In-Law
Penny’s apology came so quickly that it left Caleb unable to complain any further.‘Why do I feel suffocated talking to this woman?’“Mr. Fergerson, I’ll go to the site for an inspection first and discuss the design drawings with you after. If you’re satisfied with them, I’ll get the team to begin the renovations.”Caleb nodded lightly and did not look at her again.Penny walked out the door and saw a woman walking over with a cup of coffee in her hand.Penny took a step aside to give way. She noticed that the woman was dressed up and had flawless makeup on. When she passed by Penny, she acted like she sprained her ankle.The cup of coffee in her hand splashed onto Penny's chest.Penny wore light-colored business attire, so she could not go on with her day after getting splashed by the coffee.She frowned and looked at the woman with poor acting skills.The woman raised her eyebrows and covered her mouth in surprise.“Ah, I'm so sorry, Miss. I’ll go get some wet wipes to clea

Chapter 30 If Mrs. Fergerson Finds Out About This
Luna's ankle was swollen. She stumbled to her feet and was about to complain."Cousin-in-law, this woman…!"Before she finished her sentence, Penny pointed to the surveillance camera.“You deliberately threw the coffee at me. If it was just to keep me away from Mr. Fergerson, then I don't think you know him well enough.”She smiled and said, “Everyone knows that Mr. Fergerson doesn’t get involved with women and won’t make such simple mistakes.”It was hard to pick a fight with someone who had a smile on their face. Caleb could not say anything even if he wanted to make things difficult for her.There was a slightly cunning expression in her eyes.“Ms. Shaw, you seem too eager to stand out as a subordinate. I wonder whether it’s for your so-called cousin or yourself.”Luna was trembling with anger. ‘How can this woman have a silver tongue?!‘She doesn't hold back even when she’s speaking in front of my cousin-in-law!’“Cousin-in-law.”Her tone was pitiful, she looked at Caleb
