Caleb cast a quick look in Ember's direction and nodded. "Got it. You may leave now."He decided to comply with Ember's wish, so he waved his hand and let Zane go."Thank you, Mr. Lane!" After bowing in a hurry, Zane quickly disappeared from their line of sight."You should know who it is, right?" Ember raised her head and looked at Caleb.She saw Caleb nod. It seemed that he had an inkling of who the perpetrator was."It's related to the Fergusons," Caleb spoke slowly.Ember remained silent, indicating her acquiescence.She had guessed that it was related to the Fergusons, but there was no evidence. Now, the truth of the matter slowly surfaced with Zane's appearance."You should deal with that admirer of yours," she remarked.After that, Ember picked up her bag and left without looking back.Caleb knew in his heart that the admirer Ember was talking about was Penelope.As Caleb watched Ember's figure disappear, he picked up his phone and called his assistant. "Terminate a
"If you don't want to visit them, I'll go on your behalf. I'll contact Ember to find out if those children need anything else. After that,I'll bring the items over."Nick came to the company this time to discuss the children's welfare with Caleb. Since Caleb didn't care about the children, he had to make his own decision."You don't have to do so. I'll contact her and find time to visit them."Nick had a feeling that Caleb was jealous.He smiled, not expecting Caleb to be jealous of him. He didn't mind as he didn't harbor any feelings for Ember anyway.The office fell into a brief silence. Penelope knew that now was the perfect time for her to speak up.She carefully walked up to Caleb and asked him softly, "Caleb, why did you sever the business ties with our family?"Caleb still regarded her as an invisible existence.When Nick learned the news, he quickly jumped up from the couch and asked, "Huh? Caleb, did the Lanes sever business ties with the Fergusons? Wasn't the business
"You know what he's like. He'll be fine in a few days." Nick didn't know what else to say, so he kept comforting Penelope."Can you ask Ms. Sanders if she is still angry with me when you have time? I can apologize to her. If I hadn't talked to her, I wouldn't have fallen into the water because of her. Caleb wouldn't have gotten angry as a result."Penelope wiped her tears away while looking sincere. Nick had no idea that she was faking it the whole time.Nick couldn't bear to see Penelope in this state, so he said, "Take it easy and don't cry. Caleb will resume cooperation with your family when he figures it out. Don't worry.""I've talked to Ember before. She might be assertive, but she doesn't bear any ill intentions toward you. You have to try to accept her. After all, Caleb has chosen her." Nick said those things just so he could wake Penelope up from her delusions.Upon hearing those words, Penelope was about to explode with anger. She didn't expect that Nick would speak up
Caleb rejected Nick's invitation on the spot. He was busy with too many matters recently and had no time to attend the party."You've extended your marriage with Ember, so why don't you bring her out and introduce her to our friends? Besides, it's been a long time since we've had a gathering. Don't you think it's time for us to meet up?"Nick knew that Caleb would naturally accept the invitation as soon as he mentioned Ember.Upon hearing what Nick said, Caleb suddenly thought that he could gradually expose Ember to his social circle, which was a good thing."Alright, I'll take Em there, then."As a result, he accepted the invitation with a change of attitude.When Nick heard Caleb's reply, he hung up the phone while feeling satisfied.In the evening, Caleb wanted to return to Lane's Manor to visit his grandmother after finishing work.However, Ember's car was parked in front of the house.Caleb knew that Ember was probably here to visit Avery, or else she would not have come
Avery obediently opened his mouth and ate the vegetable. "See, I told you Avery is not a picky eater."Caleb finished those words with a prideful look on his face. He sounded as though Avery was not picky about food because of what he said.Ember, who had seen through Caleb, rolled her eyes at him and Avery. "Avery, you can't turn on me!""Mommy, I won't turn on you ever."Having said that, Avery's body unconsciously moved closer to Caleb.After that, both Caleb and Avery laughed in unison. Ember also showed a smile.Eva watched this happy scene.She was delighted to see the trio looking so happy. This made her feel a lot better.In the evening, Eva stopped Ember from leaving the manor. She wanted to discuss something with her."Ember, why don't you consider moving in?""Grandma, I don't think that's a good idea. I have my own place to stay."Ember and Caleb were no longer legally married. She didn't plan to move back into the manor and thought of it as inappropriate for h
"I'm not going!" Ember was worried that Caleb would have a card up his sleeve, so she firmly refused him.No matter what Caleb said, she just refused him. Despite being married for so many years, she didn't know Caleb's friends at all. It was only natural that she didn't want to attend the party.In the end, Caleb failed to dissuade Ember and had no choice but to let her go home.Helpless, Caleb called Nick and complained, "I've said all the nice things, but Em refused to attend the party with me. Can you think of a way?""Haha! Isn't this your own choice?" Nick couldn't help but scoff at Caleb's helpless tone."I didn't call you so that you could laugh at me! Hurry up and give me some ideas!"Caleb didn't expect that his friend would scoff at him immediately."She is your woman, not mine. What else can I do?"Nick couldn't do anything about Ember as she was different from ordinary women.Caleb called Nick for some ideas at first, but he couldn't do anything about the situatio
"Ember, what can I do for you?"Ember would not call him under normal circumstances, so Caleb felt a little worried."It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I will attend the party you mentioned," Ember spoke calmly without the slightest change in her facial expression."Really? Okay, are you free on Saturday? The party will be held on Saturday, and you can bring Avery along."Caleb was pleasantly surprised. He was figuring out how to persuade Ember to attend the party just now, but he didn't expect that she would call him."I'm available." Ember accepted the invitation and hung up the phone.It was sunny on Saturday. She and Caleb had agreed to meet up at Lane's Manor before attending the party.However, she was not ready to take Avery to such an occasion, so she took Avery to Lane's Manor and wanted to leave the child with Eva.The picnic party would be held in the suburb, so Ember was not dressed ostentatiously."Avery, I'm going to attend a party. Be a good boy at ho
Penelope suddenly raised her wine glass and said those words before downing the wine in one gulp."Em can't drink, so I'll drink on her behalf."Caleb didn't know what Penelope was up to, so he voluntarily came forward to drink the wine for Ember.All eyes were on Caleb as she drank up the wine in the glass."Shouldn't you guys call Ms. Sanders 'Mrs. Lane' during your first meeting?"After Penelope finished toasting Ember, she started a ruckus instead of sitting down.One of Caleb's wealthy friends couldn't stand it anymore, so he just spoke his mind. "Tch! Didn't she rely on her son to get her position? How can she be worthy of being Mrs. Lane? "His thought was exactly the same as the people around him."I am not worthy, you say? Are you implying that Ms. Ferguson deserves the title?" Ember smiled lightly as she shot an emotionless glance at the man.The scion spoke his mind without any restraint."Yeah, she is rich, talented and beautiful, unlike you, a woman who relied on
