Jenni's voice was loud without any intention of showing restraint.Caleb’s footsteps paused briefly, and his eyes showed an indiscernible emotion with a hint of mockery.He remembered Penny mentioning her excellent relationship with her husband before.It turned out that her marriage was not a happy one.However, if she was in an unhappy marriage, she could choose to end it. The fact that she had not even considered divorce said something.Did she still love that man very much?Penny felt annoyed by the unreasonable Jenni in front of her and immediately dialed Leo’s number on her phone.However, there was no answer on the other end, and she instantly became somewhat anxious.With the temperature outside nearing 36 degrees and Leo walking alone on the road, no one would know even if he collapsed from a heatstroke by the roadside.“Jenni, come with me to pick up Uncle Leo.”Jenni rolled her eyes and said, “I won’t go unless you give me 15 grand.”Penny thought she was hallucin

Caleb’s heart inexplicably softened, and he averted his gaze. “Come in.”Fearing he might change his mind, Penny followed him into his room.There was an additional desk in the room, and on the desk was an open laptop and a pile of files being processed.Caleb seemed busy all the time. Even when he was on business trips, he still carried various documents with him.It was only at this moment that Penny realized that his being selected as the heir might not be solely due to his talent but also because of his hard work.Not everyone was naturally capable of handling this job and bearing this responsibility.She consciously did not approach the desk with the laptop. Instead, she found a random chair to sit on.Caleb walked to the desk, opened the files, and took a pen to continue reviewing the documents.When he was working, he appeared even more aloof, emanating an aura that was warning people to stay away.Penny watched his silhouette illuminated by the backlight. It was as if

Sue felt a bit embarrassed, while Leo stood by, even more at a loss.Penny ignored Jenni and said, “Uncle Leo, Aunt Sue, I’m leaving now.”Sue and Leo hurried to accompany her, personally seeing her off to the small intersection.After giving it some thought, Penny could not help but ask.“Uncle Leo, isn’t there a big shot planning a tourism development project in Union County? If the demolition ends up here, what are your plans for the money?”The housing prices in the small counties were cheap, and one could buy a very spacious four-bedroom apartment for around 150 grand.When this was mentioned, Leo’s face showed a touch of excitement.“Your cousin still owes the loan shark over tens of thousands. I’ll pay off the loan first and then get a better house. Penny, why are you suddenly asking about this? Did you receive any news?”Leo had not forgotten that Penny rode in the same car as that big shot.“Mm, it’s just not entirely certain yet. Uncle Leo, you and Aunt Sue should pl

She had disliked Jenni’s personality for a long time, but Uncle Leo and Aunt Sue had always tolerated her, which eventually led to her developing her current temperament.Leo became anxious when he heard that Penny was unwilling to plead for Jenni.“Even if Jenni did it intentionally, isn’t there room for negotiation in this matter? You know that our family feels sorry for Jenni. If she insists on a divorce, then your cousin will never find a wife again. The fact that he embezzled client funds and borrowed money from loan sharks is already widely known in Union County. Who will dare to marry into our family? Only Jenni will accept him. If something happens to Jenni, what will Aunt Sue and I do…”Penny felt powerless and closed her eyes. She knew that Uncle Leo and Aunt Sue had led a difficult life, and the money they earned had been squandered by their son and daughter-in-law.She rubbed her forehead wearily. “Uncle Leo, have you considered that even if I plead with Mr. Fergerson,

Penny had failed to react earlier, but she had calmed down now and put on a composed smile on her face.“I just feel like I accidentally overheard some of your personal matters, Mr. Fergerson. I feel a bit at a loss.”After all, if these pieces of information were leaked to the media, tomorrow’s headlines would probably be all about Caleb.For years, the outside world had not caught wind of any news about him getting married. Once they found out, it would likely cause a huge uproar.He was the heir of Fergerson Corporation and the youngest business tycoon. He had made a name for himself in Silicon Valley at a young age. Even the Times had reported on him. It was no wonder Sir Fergerson was always satisfied with his grandson.His private life naturally attracted a lot of attention.Caleb closed the file on his lap. “You're not a nosy person.”His tone was casual, and his gaze fell on Dawn Haven Villa outside.Sebastian thought he was going to go in, but he only said, “Have someo
