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
At first glance, Ember and Lugh appeared to be as intimate as a married couple. Suffice to say, the image broke Caleb's heart.The bodyguard then texted him the coordinates of the supermarket.Caleb went to the supermarket right away.He followed the two as they entered the supermarket as if he was a pervert.Ember noticed something weird and turned around to see Caleb.He crouched by the shopping shelves, unaware that his height and outfit had already betrayed him.Ember pretended she didn't notice him and proceeded to ignored him.Lugh was perplexed; how could Caleb know Ember was intoxicated the night before? And it was such a coincidence that he showed up in the same supermarket today.This was not a random occurrence."Ember, how did Caleb know about your whereabouts?" he wondered out loud.Ember was also suspicious since Caleb would appear coincidentally whenever she and Lugh were alone.It was a common occurrence, which seemed strange.Ember frowned and shook her hea
When Lugh heard Ember's response, his heart was filled with joy.Once the duo came home, Lugh didn't want to trouble Ember with dinner, so he recommended stew as dinner instead.Ember felt quite embarrassed. Lugh had done so much for her, yet her only reward was dinner. She was at her wits' end.Lugh did not accompany Ember to the school after dinner. Instead, he went to Caleb's company in hopes of having a proper talk with him.In the president's office, a cigarette was trapped between Caleb's fingers as he slowly spat out a mouthful of smoke rings. A displeased expression took over his face.He heard a sound, followed by Lugh strolling in at this very time.The latter grinned, his scorching gaze falling on Caleb's form. "Mr. Lane, Ember doesn't love you anymore, so stop pestering her. I hope I can make it clear to you today.""Lugh, I've told you that as long as I don't divorce her, she can only be mine!" Caleb spat out with a bitter chuckle.Lugh hadn't expected Caleb to be
Finally, Penelope agreed to the plan. Soon, she returned to Lane Group.There, Caleb presented her with the next plan to cooperate with the Fergusons. She was pleased, thinking that Caleb had finally figured it out and was eager to cooperate with her family for her sake.In truth, Caleb was merely setting up a trap.But this moron, Penelope, was wholly convinced that Caleb was on her side. She was even thrilled.The two families needed to attend a cocktail party in order to discuss cooperation.As the heiress of Ferguson Group, Penelope also attended the party.Those on the sidelines were envious when Penelope and Caleb entered the restaurant together."Mr. Lane and Ms. Ferguson make a matching couple.""Yes. It's really rare to see women as beautiful and gentle as Ms Penelope. You're really lucky, Mr. Lane."Penelope was immersed in the compliments as they crossed the hall.She reached out her hand to take Caleb's, only for him to take a step back. He acted as if he wasn't c
