Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 145
Before Penelope could explain herself, Avery wiped off his tears and said aggrievedly, "Daddy, I won't allow you to find me a stepmom. Boohoo... I hate Aunt Penelope!"Penelope didn't expect that a child would make a fool of her. She suppressed the anger in her heart and comforted him. "Avery, it's my fault. I will take you to the amusement park, okay?"Caleb didn't believe her and refused her offer outright. "That won't be necessary. You should go home. I will take care of Avery."She clenched her fists as she was reluctant to leave. Ember and her son were the stumbling blocks that prevented her from marrying into the Lane family!Avery, sitting by the window, stopped crying when he heard the word "amusement park" and asked, "Really? Aunt Penelope, are you going to take me out to have fun?""Of course, I will take you anywhere if you want to." Penelope was planning on teaching him a lesson with a scheme in her mind.Shortly after that, Avery packed up his things and went out wit

Just then, a group of onlookers gathered around the lake.An old man snorted and said sternly, "Miss, you mustn't conduct immoral misdeeds. You obviously tried to push the kid just now, but you fell into the lake because you didn't expect that he would suddenly stand up."Penelope grimaced as she didn't expect that someone would see through her.A group of people gossiped behind Penelope's back. "This lady looks quite pretty, but why is she so evil? What if the child fell into the deep lake and drowned?"No one cared about Penelope. She floundered about in the lake for a long time.It was then that the bodyguard realized something was wrong and got Penelope out of the water.She looked miserable with dripping wet hair stuck to her face. Penelope hugged her shivering body and shot him a hostile glance. "Where did a hooligan like you come from? How dare you touch me!""Miss, you look like a rich lady in this outfit, but why are you so malicious? He was the one who rescued you j

Hank and Penelope hatched a great plan, but they didn't know that Caleb had gotten wind of it in advance.The land was no good with a long and unresolved disputed debt, so he decided to forfeit the auction.However, he was well aware that the Fergusons would certainly make a move this time, so he planned to cook up his scheme properly.The next day, Penelope went to Caleb's house with toys and cupcakes.She thought that she wouldn't have tried to coax that rascal, Avery, if it weren't for the competition for that piece of land.Revenge was a dish best served cold. She was bent on ruining Ember's reputation!Avery was a little surprised to see this foolish woman again. She looked ridiculous with the things in her hands.Penelope put the things in her hands on the coffee table before coaxing softly, "Avery, I know you misunderstood me yesterday, so I've bought you toys and cupcakes today to make amends."Avery glanced coldly at the toy cars on the table with a disdainful look. He

The absent-minded Penelope bumped right into the man's hard chest. She gasped in pain and covered her nose.She lost her balance and clung to the man's body.Caleb scorned her for her poor acting skills.Penelope looked flustered as she stammered, "Caleb, what took you so long to come back? I was looking for you..."Caleb supported her and replied, "I just went out to answer a phone call. Why are you in a panic?"When Penelope heard what he said, she quickly felt relieved.Just as she was about to explain herself, Ember suddenly came in.All the housekeepers knew about the relationship between Ember and Caleb, so they didn't stop her from entering the house.Ember stared intently at the two people hugging each other before sneering at them.As expected, a leopard couldn't change its spots. Two days ago, Caleb had sworn to her that he had nothing to do with Penelope.However, they were now hugging each other. How should he explain himself?Caleb narrowed his eyes as he quickl

Ember swallowed the strong drinks glass after glass. She was now a little dizzy with her head buried in her arms, looking pitiful.She could only stop caring for him by forgetting him...Lugh saw that she was a little drunk and asked, "Ember, why don't you get divorced now? Are you in a dilemma?"He knew that his doing was immoral, but he couldn't bear to see Ember in so much pain."Caleb is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the missing children..."Never did he expect that Caleb would be as vicious as to control her using the whereabouts of the missing children.He was a douchebag! Lugh took a gulp of wine and clenched his fist unconsciously.Ember was already wasted, so Lugh drove her home.On the way home, she got out of the car, squatted on the roadside and retched probably because she hadn't eaten dinner.Lugh drove Ember to her house entrance. Seeing her suffering look, he was worried and said nervously, "Ember, I'll make you some hangover soup before I leave.

Caleb looked hostile as he grabbed Lugh by the collar and shouted, "Lugh Archer, I'm warning you! Stay away from Em! Don't even think about getting your hands on my woman!"As soon as Caleb finished speaking, he rudely punched Lugh in the face.The punch landed right on Lugh's face as he couldn't dodge it in time.He gasped in pain and raised his hand to wipe the bloodstains on his lips.He looked at Caleb with a faint smile resting on his lips.Seeing Lugh was still smiling, the indignant Caleb tugged at his collar and threw him aside.Lugh didn't hold back and got into a scuffle with Caleb.With bruises littering his face, Lugh looked at Caleb coldly and sneered. "Caleb Lane, do you think you can threaten Ember not to divorce you if you have a hold over her? No wonder she doesn't fancy a shameless man like you!"Caleb frowned with a menacing aura as he asked, "What do you mean? Make it clear!"He had a sense of foreboding."Since you already have Penelope, please stop bothe

She picked up a pillow and threw it at Caleb. However, there was no reaction from him. She kicked him once again, waking him up in the process.Caleb opened his blurry eyes to find Ember glaring at him angrily.Her brow furrowed, she exclaimed angrily, ''Caleb, get the hell out of here! The state we're in right now is no different than us being actually divorced! What exactly are you doing? What do you seek by clinging to Penelope while lying to me?"She became nauseated at the thought of Caleb and Penelope hugging intimately together!That shameless jerk!"Ember, just listen to me. It's not what you think it is. Last night, I heard that you were drunk. I wanted to come and take care of you, but I ended up accidentally falling asleep here.""Get out." Ember shot him a piercing glare as she snarled out as calmly as she could."Believe me, I'm no longer involved with Penelope. What happened that day was just—" Caleb explained, his eyes fluttering with regret."Enough! I don't wan

Luch was indirectly saying that Ember didn't have to worry about anything else if she wanted to divorce Caleb.Ember rejected without hesitation. "Lugh, this matter is complicated, and I don't want to involve you in it."Furthermore, she already owed him far too much. How could she be so ungrateful as to ask him to help her again?It wasn't as if Ember wasn't aware of Lugh's feelings. Due to the failure of her relationship with Caleb, she lacked the confidence to be in the next relationship.Ember went back to her office and called Caleb afterward.When Caleb saw Ember's name on the caller ID, he picked it up without caring about the meeting he was in right now."Mr. Lane, Lugh is my friend, if you do this again next time, I will take Avery out of the country."The people in the conference room exchanged glances, knowing that Caleb is a tyrannical ruler in the company who was always swift and brutal when it came to making decisions.It's been a long time since someone dared to

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.

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.

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
