Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 120
Ember knew that Avery's situation would grow more precarious as time passed. Fortunately, Caleb had already transferred the money.He had rushed to the bank and transferred the money to the account number without hesitation.After returning home, Ember tried to dial the number again. To her surprise, she got through even though the number had been unreachable just now."I've transferred the money to you. Where is my son?" Ember forced herself to calm down, but her arms were still trembling slightly."An abandoned building near No. 19, East Street." The kidnapper hung up the phone after leaving the address."Let's go there right now!"Ember had the speakerphone turned on, so Caleb could hear their conversation clearly.Along the way, Caleb kept flooring the gas pedal and almost collided with the cars in front of him several times.However, he couldn't care less about the near mishaps. Avery was all on his mind.He forcefully shortened the journey from more than half an hour to

"Caleb!"She had arrived as a representative of the Ferguson Corp to conduct business with Caleb."What are you doing here?" When Caleb saw Penelope, he felt irritated."Is Ms. Sanders also here?" What a wonderful coincidence!" Penelope was brimming with confidence now that she had the full-fledged support of her family."Ms. Sanders, I'm here on behalf of the Ferguson Corp. I might even become a regular guest here. You won't mind, will you?" Penelope smiled at Ember, secretly pleased by how things were unfolding."Your business has nothing to do with me." Ember was reluctant to speak more now that Penelope was here."Go on, you two. Mr. Lane, I'll go back first. The money will be in your account soon."Ember grabbed her handbag and got ready to leave after saying that."Ember, just hear me out."Caleb realized Ember had misunderstood him, so he grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving."This collaboration is just for the benefit of the company. Believe me, I don't have feeli

"You don't need to pay me back. Why don't you become my secretary instead?" Caleb stood up and approached Ember."Mr Lane, you still can't afford a secretary?" Ember looked at Caleb suspiciously. His behavior today had been unusual."I've spent 200 million dollars, yet I still can't get you to work for me?"Caleb intended to keep the 200 million dollars. After all, Ember couldn't possibly earn that much money all at once."Give me the account number, and I'll pay you back right away." Ember looked away from Caleb and helped Avery smooth out his bedsheets."No need for that. I want you to work at my company as my secretary for now.""Mommy, Daddy is a hero. He saved my life, so you should just say yes to him." Avery also used the chance to speak up for Caleb.Ember could tell that her son was unable to discern the right from the wrong.."Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. You just need to deal with menial tasks for me. Two months is fine." Caleb approached Ember

The word had traveled throughout the company at this point."Have you heard? Mr. Lane's new secretary is his wife.""Huh? She might be pretty, but I think she's useless too."Caleb had previously hired two secretaries and an assistant. The secretaries began to gossip about Ember, their newest colleague.Ember sought out the secretaries with a statement in hand.The secretaries assumed Ember intended to cause trouble based on her poker face."What's wrong?" one of the secretaries approached Ember and inquired."Nothing. Mr. Lane requested for this statement to be filled out earlier. I've completed it for you guys. Just look through it before passing it to him later."Ember did the secretaries a favor just because it was convenient for her to do so."Okay, thanks!" The two secretaries thanked her quickly."She seems pretty decent, right?""Yup. I think she should be quite capable as well. Otherwise, how could Mr. Lane possibly favor her?"Their opinion of Ember had shifted dr

Enraged, Penelope swept the files away, causing them to be strewn all over the floor. A moment later, she could only crouch down to pick the papers up one by one while looking aggrieved.As night fell, the shimmering lights in the pub caught Penelope's lonely expression."What's the matter, Ms. Ferguson? Aren't you the one who invited me here? Why are you ignoring me right now?" Nick, who was standing next to Penelope, couldn't help but snicker a few times.Penelope remained motionless. She occasionally raised her wine glass and chugged the alcoholic drink down with her eyes closed."Did Caleb bully you again?" Nick approached Penelope as he cautiously probed her for more information.Penelope unexpectedly fell into tears at this moment, causing the others to look over in their way."Hey, this is a bar! Don't cry. How embarrassing!"Everyone kept staring at Nick the whole time. He didn't want to be stuck in this humiliating situation."I've been doing my best, haven't I? Why ar

Since Penelope had already drank, Caleb was too prideful to reject her offer. Hence, he downed his glass of wine too."Again." The wine glass in Caleb's hand was refilled.When the sound of clinking glasses resounded again, Caleb looked up and saw that Penelope had already consumed all of the wine in her glass, so he had little choice but to drink it quickly.Dizziness soon attacked him in waves. Caleb wasn't sure if it was the excessive wine he had just consumed, but he suddenly had an urge to keel over and doze off on the spot.He was aware that this was a bar, so he could only keep reminding himself to keep his wits and rationality about."Speak up. If not, I'm going to leave right now." Caleb was prepared to stand up and leave.Penelope rushed toward Caleb at that moment and pulled him into a sitting position.Her lips curled into a sly smirk now that she was abnormally close to him."Caleb, I like you so much. Why won't you like me at all?" Penelope saddled up to Caleb,

She gazed at Caleb seductively, hoping for a response.Caleb, on the other hand, seized her shoulders with both hands and pressed harder."Ah!" The room was filled with screams.Penelope rolled off the bed. Her shoulders collided against a hard edge, causing them to swell up immediately.Caleb could no longer hold out anymore. He closed his eyes the instant Penelope landed on the floor.Penelope reluctantly climbed back onto the bed. She fixed her gaze on Caleb, who was now calm once again.She removed Caleb's garments, burrowed into his arms, and fell asleep in this position.A shaft of dazzling sunlight shone onto Caleb's face the next day.Caleb squinted at the sight, but then felt foreign warmth coming from his right arm.When he looked around, he saw that it was Penelope snuggling next to him. To make things worse, she was naked.Then he glanced at himself, only to realize that he was in his birthday suit as well.Caleb jumped out of bed in surprise. He proceeded to yan

"Caleb, what about me?" Penelope sprang up again, this time grabbing his arm."Let go of me!" Caleb gave her a chilly stare devoid of emotion.Caleb's stern glare terrified Penelope, so she could only gently loosen her grip."Let me repeat myself one more time. Do not tell anyone what happened last night!" Caleb was still unsettled."Yes, I know." Penelope rubbed her face pitifully while looking up at Caleb.Caleb left hurriedly, seeing as he no longer wished to be around Penelope.When the door closed, Penelope's expression shifted back to irritation.She plopped onto the bed while examining the amazing photos taken the night before on her phone. Then, she laughed loudly.Caleb, on the other hand, took the elevator to the lobby, where the reception counter was at."I've lost something very important, please check last night's surveillance!" Caleb walked over to the front desk and demanded. He wanted to see what happened last night through the surveillance cameras.His sudden

He was an arrogant man by nature. Now that he was upset, it was only natural for him to blame Caleb and Ember."Caleb, Ember, when I rise again, I will never spare you two!"Initially, these were words to himself, but he had not anticipated that they would be picked up by someone else."Fine, then we'll wait and see. However, you'd better think about how you're going to escape today."Henry looked around, surprised to see dozens of pairs of eyes.His voice trembled, and he attempted to reach into his coat for a weapon.He had just begun to move when he saw a corpse being thrown in his direction by Caleb's men."Do you think you still have a chance of escaping? No amount of weaponry will help."Henry was astonished when he peered down and saw his man."Are you going to come with us on your own accord today, or am I going to give you a straight up pain in the ass?"Henry's palm tightened into a fist, indicating that he did not want to choose either option."I don't want to go

"Alright, tell me who the mastermind is in exchange for sparing your mother. My patience is wearing thin."The nurse averted her gaze with a hesitant look on her face."I've already told you that no one ordered me behind the scenes. If you don't believe me, there is nothing I can do about it."Ember realized that she couldn't make the nurse give in with mere words, so she increased her bargaining chip.She opened up a picture on her phone and asked, "You are familiar with this thing, aren't you?"After taking a clear look at the picture, the nurse was a little confused about what Ember was going to do."I admit that I used this drug to kill your mother. You can take revenge on me however you want.""No, it seems that the mastermind didn't tell you the effect of this drug. This drug has been developed to cure vegetative patients. My mother gradually got better after taking it."The nurse's eyes brightened. She asked with a pleading look in her eyes,"Do you mean my mother can g

Jamie placed her hand gently on her heart."Will Valerie be with me forever?""Of course."After a great deal of persuasion, Jamie finally stopped crying. She even readily cooperated in the treatment and apologized to Ember."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was rude to you just now."Ember couldn't bear to blame Jamie upon noticing how sensible she was."Silly girl, you are my daughter. How could I possibly blame you?"Good girl, let's go see Valerie together when you get better.""Okay."After leaving Jamie in Carrie's care, Ember left with peace of mind. She had to attend to an important matter now.Caleb had already told Ember everything, she couldn't wait to meet her mother's murderer after learning that she had been captured.Caleb planned to leave the decision in her hands this time.When Ember saw the nurse who gave her many sleepless nights, she rushed forward and grabbed her collar."Who is the mastermind? Tell me!"The unwavering nurse stood by her initial statement."No o

The nurse gritted her teeth, unwilling to say anything.Caleb didn't expect to worm any information out of her, so he waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to take her away.What mattered most to him now was to wait for Jamie.Not long after he arrived at the door to the operating room, he heard good news from the inside.The operation was successful. Next, they had to observe Jamie's condition.Jamie would be fine as long as her body didn't show any signs of rejecting the heart.Caleb felt heartbroken when he looked at the pale Jamie lying on the hospital bed.Fortunately, Jamie was finally getting better.Much to everyone's surprise, Jamie didn't make any noise after she woke up.She didn't say a word and just lay there like a rag doll.Distressed, Ember looked at her daughter and said, "Jamie, I will take you to see Valerie after your recovery, okay?"For the first time, Jamie's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. She raised her head and replied in a choked voice,

At the mention of the surveillance footage, the nurse hurriedly clapped her hands and said,"You're right. How could I forget the most important surveillance footage?"While speaking, she was about to turn around and go to the security room to check the surveillance footage, but Caleb stopped her."I'll go there. You should go to the operating room and see if you can be of any help."With that, he turned around and left.The nurse returned to the operating room for the time being and told Ember everything, reassuring her.Caleb led his subordinates to the security room and checked the surveillance footage.Shortly afterwards, his eyes darkened at the sight of a familiar figure.His subordinates soon exclaimed when they discovered that it was the very same nurse who had killed Mia in the hospital last time."We never found her. It turns out that she has fled back to Frissia."Caleb had run out of patience as his lips curled into a sneer."Catch her immediately! You have twenty

Jamie went out to pluck flowers for Valerie. There were many beautiful flowers in the back garden, so Jamie wanted to bring them to her in person.To her surprise, the hospital bed was empty when she returned to the ward.Jamie panicked and subconsciously ran in the direction of a nurse who was looking for her.She couldn't believe her ears when she heard the answer."I'm going to find Valerie. Miss, please get out of the way."The nurs,e who had been looking after the two children, knew that they were good friends.Witnessing the scene, the nurse felt helpless with a lump in her throat."Let's find Valerie later. Jamie, can you come with us now?"Jamie had vaguely guessed the answer, but still she stubbornly refused to give up."No way. I have to wait here for Valerie. She wants to see the flowers I've plucked."The nurse couldn't do anything about Jamie. When she was at her wit's end, Lugh appeared.He knelt down and spoke softly, "Be a good girl, Jamie. We are going to ex

Valerie's words touched Carrie. She packed their clothes and left with Caleb and Ember.Ember asked Valerie and got them a room next to Jamie's ward.Jamie looked awkward when she saw Valerie."Mommy, who is she?"Ember rubbed Jamie's head and answered gently."Jamie, her name is Valerie. She'll stay here for a while. Get along well with her, okay?"Jamie blinked, curious about the stranger in front of her."Hi, Valerie."Valerie had not talked to kids her age for a long time due to her health. She was attracted by Jamie's politeness."Hi, Jamie."Jamie and Valerie started talking. Children's friendship was simple. Ember got them many toys to play with.She tried to treat Valerie's illness but to no avail.The cancer cells had spread to the surrounding organs. The best Ember could do was decrease Valerie's suffering as much as she could.Valerie was very sensible. She gritted her teeth and endured the when it hurt.Jamie noticed that after having a similar experience.Sh

Ember and Caleb looked at each other when they heard Valerie. They could not imagine how difficult her life was that made her so mature.Carrie was comforted after a while, wiped away her tears, and spoke with choked sobs."It was my daughter's decision. I'm glad she could help your daughter."They did not act superior even though Ember and Caleb were receiving their favor.Carrie felt so distressed that she could hardly breathe when she thought of Valerie, who would die in a few months.Ember was moved. "We're here to express our gratitude. Please let us know if there's anything we could help."She wanted to make it up to them.Fortunately, they did not feel offended but refused to ask for compensation."We're not doing this to get anything in return. I only hope my organs can save lives. That's my only wish."Ember and Caleb felt so impressed. They wondered what they could do for Valerie.Suddenly, Duncan rushed in and said, "Don't mind if I do, then. You can have all my da

Then Carrie looked at Duncan again and cursed, "Duncan, I'll make sure you won't have any more children if you take the money. You'll be alone for the rest of your life."Duncan became furious when he heard that."Bitch! I've been too nice to you just now. I don't mind telling you what it takes to challenge me! You want to die with this trash, right? As you wish!"Someone grabbed his hand when he took a rope and moved toward them."Don't you dare!"Duncan was stunned and felt annoyed. "Stay away from my business! Everyone in this village knows who I am! Get lost!"As he spoke, he turned his head and saw two beautiful figures.In just an instant, he was deeply attracted by Ember's beauty and stunned.Caleb could not stand such a vulgar person, so he beat Duncan to the ground.Ember walked to Carrie and Valerie at that moment."Are you okay? Let me take you to the hospital."Valerie thanked her sweetly and helped Carrie get up, "It's alright. Thank you, miss."Carrie hurriedl
