Avery was upset at the talkative Penelope and retorted, "You are a bad woman. How can you talk to my mommy like that? Even if that thing is bad, it proves that you have bad taste! Grandma will certainly like the gift given by my mommy. A bad woman like you doesn't have to worry about it!"With that, Avery made a face at Penelope and left while holding Ember's hand.Penelope grimaced. Ferguson Corp was just an empty corporation now, and the Fergusons' fate depend on Caleb.Never did she expect that bastard Avery would ride roughshod over her!Their loud quarrel attracted a lot of attention.However, Penelope was no longer the wealthy daughter of the Fergusons, nor did she have the ability to compete with this group of people. She had no choice but to swallow her anger.When Penelope saw Eva, she handed her present with a smile and said flatteringly, "Grandma, please stay cheerful all the time. I hope you like this present."Eva replied with a smile, "I'm already this old, yet you
Obviously, she was the most deserving candidate to stand alongside Caleb. But now she was being rejected!One day, she'd make them all pay the price for failing to see her true worth!At the time, Eva took Ember's hand inside the mansion.She was quite fond of Ember, but Caleb was slow to take action. She had given him so much time to pursue his wife, yet there was still no action at all.It seemed that Eva still needed to take some action.She sat alongside Ember and said, "I know you're a great woman. If other shameless women dare to cause you trouble, you can seek me out. I'll help you!"Ember knew Eva was honest to her, so she smiled and shook her head. She gently replied, "Don't worry, Grandma. I usually work at the hospital. No one will look for trouble."Eva was generally well-informed and knew exactly Penelope's behavior towards Ember.She was unable to teach Penelope a lesson today since she did not want to disrupt the pleasant environment in the mansion. After this, P
"Ember, you might not know this. Although the wine burns when you drink it, the alcohol degree is actually very low, so don't worry about overconsuming it."However, Eva and Ember didn't drink the same beverage. Ember, who was kept in the dark, believed all she said.Ember drank one glass of wine after another, and her head began to spin.She shook her head to stay awake. After hiccuping, she murmured slowly, "Grandma, I really can't drink anymore. I'm going to get drunk if I keep drinking..."Seeing Ember's current condition, Eva felt she hadn't drunk enough, so she convinced her to drink two more glasses.Avery was astonished. Eva really was capable and experienced in this area.His parents would undoubtedly reconcile tomorrow once Eva made her move, so he no longer had to be concerned!Ember didn't eat much because Eva's wine had satisfied her hunger.Eva badly wanted Ember and Caleb to hurriedly get back together, so she gave Ember a strong dose. As a result, Ember immediat
Ember wanted to hide somewhere right now. She vaguely remembered she was the one yanking on Caleb to keep him from leaving!Ember was so ashamed that she didn't know where to begin expressing her anger.Just then, Caleb moved a little.Seeing this, Ember stumbled out of bed, picked up the clothing on the floor, and put them on.Her huge movement caused her body to ache slightly.Ember couldn't help but mentally curse at Caleb. She wondered how much strength did he use last night for her to suffer from back pain. How long has it been since he had been with a woman?Ember walked downstairs to find Avery and Eva playing on the couch.When Avery saw Ember walk down the stairs, he smiled and swung his arms up. He asked teasingly, "Mommy, how was your rest last night?"If Avery wasn't still a child, she may assume he did it on purpose.Feeling embarrassed, she blushed and changed the topic, "It's time to leave with mommy."Eva smirked as she examined Ember's countenance. She had be
He stared at Ember, remembering her taking the initiative last night. This caused him to smile."Ember, why are you rushing to leave? Why don't you and Avery have breakfast first, and I'll drive you to the hospital later?"It was only then that Eva reacted. How could she have forgotten to invite Ember and Avery to breakfast?"It's still early. You should stay and have some breakfast first."Ember had mixed feelings when she saw Caleb.Now that she was mortified at the sight of Caleb, she simply declined. "No need. There's still work in the hospital that I'm in a hurry to take care of."Disappointed, Avery tugged on Ember's hand. "But I'm hungry now, Mommy. Besides, the manor is so far from the hospital. I don't want to walk."Caleb gazed at Avery with surprise. Wasn't he being too obvious in wanting to help his father out?"Then you can stay here. I'm leaving."Having picked up on Ember's strange tone, Avery followed her and left without eating breakfast.Arriving at the hosp
The doctors likewise glanced at each other, knowing there was nothing they could do after seeing the patient's condition.The patient had sustained a terrible injury. There was a massive wound near the heart that was spurting blood. The injury was fatal. It would be bad if they were charged with murder as a result of this incident.Everyone was watching, unable to agree to provide treatment so easily.The patient bled so heavily that his lips had lost all color. Gritting his teeth, he exclaimed, "You doctors are heartless! I know you think my life isn't worth anything! If I die today, it'll be your fault! Everyone, do me a favor and help report these doctors!"Ember couldn't bear to see this situation, so she reassured the patient, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to save you."The patient's family members saw that she was young and did not appear particularly trustworthy. Their expression became scornful. "The other experienced doctors dare not promise us anything. You, on the other
"Doctor, thank you. I heard that my injury was pretty serious, so I was very upset. Please don't take it personally."While Ember wasn't impressed, she replied, "There's no need to say so much, I can understand how you felt at that time. If I were you, I'd be worried and upset too. Saving lives is my duty."This man's injury was quite tricky. It was not severe enough to put him in a coma instantly, but it was still life-threatening. Not to mention, it was especially close to his heart, so no doctor dared to take over.Ember left after leaving a list of do's and don'ts.As for Penelope, she was utterly humiliated in Lane Manor yesterday. The more she thought about it, the worse she felt in her heart.How could she have gotten into such a bad situation if it hadn't been for Ember? She must make all of those people pay!Penelope reviewed Ferguson Corp's partners in her office. She happened to flip through and discovered a timber cooperation. That was when she recalled that Caleb's c
Ember looked at the photo. The woman in the photo was just one of Caleb's secretaries. How could Penelope say otherwise?It seemed that Penelope did not do her homework very well, as she couldn’t even identify Caleb's secretary. Now, she texted Ember with the intention of driving a wedge between Ember and Caleb. It was stupidity to the extreme.However, Penelope had a good point. Caleb was never short of women. Even if the one in the photo was the secretary, so what? He did have a lot of women around him.Ember was late in responding to Penelope. The latter couldn't sit still at all, so she sent another message. "Ember, to tell you the truth, Caleb likes you now just because you're Avery's mom. Do you think Caleb will still take care of you if he successfully takes custody over him?"Ember did not want to engage in a verbal altercation with her, but Penelope was a fool and had to prod Ember into fury.Ember had always been someone who would not offend anyone unless others offended
