Ember was startled to discover that all of her belongings that she had left in this villa were still present. Her clothes still took up half of the closet.There were also many pieces of clothing that had never been worn before and appeared to have been added afterward.At that moment, Caleb's voice came from the side. "Ember, these clothes are what I have prepared for you over the years. This gown fits you well, not to mention it's quite modest too. You can try on it."I've already chosen my tux, so I'll get dressed in another room. I'll wait for you outside."After saying his piece, Caleb left the room and closed the door behind him like a true gentleman.This time, he didn't pressure Ember too much, which made her confused.Her favorite style was evident from the outfit that had been set aside. It was a modest yet expensive gown.Did Caleb truly care about her all these years? Did he really change his ways?Ember still couldn't believe it.Even though her mind was racing,
Ember stood to the side as she quietly listened to the two's conversation without saying a word. It was as if she were an outsider."Ms. Ferguson, there's quite a crowd at the banquet. I hope you can understand human language," Caleb spoke quickly, his tone suggesting a threat.If Penelope were to continue bothering Ember, he could always retaliate by doing something drastic."Got it..." Penelope could only respond in disappointment.Caleb, on the other hand, would not stop there. Remembering that she had reached out to try to slap Ember before, he frowned and continued, "I do not allow bystanders to bully my wife. If you think the Fergusons are still holding up these days, you can go ahead and irritate me."He looked so frightening that Penelope was left dumbfounded for a long moment.She quickly changed her expression back to that of a victim as tears started pooling in the corners of her eyes. "Ms. Sanders and I were just fooling around. You've misunderstood me, Caleb."Caleb
However, Penelope was in shock. Nervous, she asked repeatedly, "Are you sure this is the gown?""Yes, I've seen it before. It can't be wrong." The onlooker was upset with her questioning, but her focus was on the outfit, and she didn't give it any thought.Their conversation drew a large number of guests, and everyone's attention was focused on Ember.Penelope would be the humiliated one.She did not know what to do with the dozen or so banknotes in her hands. Her friends were even quieter.Who would have believed Ember could actually get this gown?Ember had long expected Penelope to have such an expression. Therefore, she felt no waves of emotion within her.The only thing that astonished her was that the gown Caleb had made for her was so valuable. She had assumed it was just an average gown.Ember was uninterested in Penelope's so-called compensation."Ms. Ferguson, now that Ferguson Group is in a recession, I'm afraid you can't afford to pay for this dress with your curre
Ember looked at her phone after Lugh hung up on her. She was doubtful as she stared at Lugh's car for some time.What was he hiding?Ember was perplexed and did not return home. Instead, she trailed Lugh's car from behind.At first, she was hidden among the traffic, but as they drove further, they gradually entered an area where there were fewer vehicles.When they approached the outskirts, the number of vehicles gradually diminished. That was when Lugh discovered a car following him.This was Caleb's car. Ember had never driven in that car before, so he had no idea who was in the car. He just thought it was unusual for it to continue following him.Lugh parked the car, opened the door, and walked toward her car.Ember parked her car, and the two of them met in the woods on the outskirts.Lugh was shocked to see Ember. "Ember, why are you here?"Despair surged from his heart the moment he recalled the phone conversation."Ember, I didn't mean to hide this from you."The fore
Ember read and understood the contents of the books. But she was too tired to remain awake, so she fell asleep in the study.The Internet underwent a dramatic change while she slept.Whoever took the photos of the scene where she and Lugh met in the countryside had posted them all over the internet.Ember was now seen as a minor celebrity as a result of those earlier incidents. Many members of the paparazzi were observing her every step. This time, she was caught in the act.Several netizens who adored Ember and Caleb as a couple saw the image and left comments. Some didn't think it was real. Others, who wanted Ember and Caleb to be a couple, had their hopes shattered.[How could this be? Who will end up being Dr. Sanders' soulmate? Both men are equally handsome and talented!][How can you guys speculate so much through a meeting? Maybe the pictures are photoshopped!]The online public opinion didn't have the slightest impact on Ember's sleep. She didn't get up until noon.Sinc
On the other hand, the atmosphere was solemn in the president's office of Lane Group.Allen stood in front of Caleb quietly. He lowered his head and dared not breathe.Caleb stared at the cell phone with the intimate photo depicting Ember and Lugh for a long time before huffing coldly. With a dark expression, he slammed the phone on the table.A loud sound was heard as the phone landed on the table, and the screen cracked in an unusual manner, demonstrating how angry he was.Caleb spoke coldly, "I ordered you to send bodyguards to protect Ember. Is this how you do things? By allowing the paparazzi to secretly take pictures of her?"How did the paparazzi take advantage of the situation if Ember was protected by the bodyguards?Allen lowered his head and muttered, "Sir, you can’t blame me on this matter. The bodyguards did not notice the paparazzi..."He felt aggrieved at that moment. He secretly raised his head to see Caleb's cold eyes. Flustered, Allen looked away immediately.
Ember has recently been under fire for a variety of reasons, all of which can be attributed to that actress.Ember received sympathy from netizens, while more people coupled her with Lugh.[Ah! Simply a marriage made in heaven! Just start dating already!][I'm so jealous right now! Hurry up and get together already! Don't make me get on my knees and beg you!]The actress was furious. She had not only posted the footage of Ember's video online, but also told everyone about her affairs. However, the netizens did not believe her.There were even internet users cursing at her.Ember noticed that public opinion on the internet had long subsided, but she didn't expect it to suddenly resurface immediately.She couldn't help but have a headache. Even though she wasn't involved in the entertainment industry, this situation had a significant impact on her life.Furthermore, she and Lugh were innocent. The thing was, the netizens' demand for them to start dating was so strong that she had
The manager got onto the actress' social media account at the earliest opportunity and removed the comments she had just posted.A formal apology was issued. [Everyone, I am deeply sorry for causing everyone's discontent. My account got hacked. I wasn't the one responsible for posting such things.]Netizens sighed. How could someone be so daring not to admit what has been done, but also blaming the hackers? That was simply ridiculous!The actress was unpopular from the start; why would hackers hijack her account? Did she fear for her future now that she has written so many awful comments?The netizens were all mocking the actress. She was so overwhelmed that she had to turn off the comments and private messages.She was so enraged that she called Ember.Ember hesitated for a while before answering the phone, only to hear a scream from the other end of the line. "Ember Sanders, I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up and come up with a statement; if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't ha
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
