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

Avery felt there was tension in the room. Why was Ember acting strangely ever since she saw Caleb?Avery laughed and wrapped up the conversation. "Haha, Mommy! I was just joking. I'm not going anywhere."The little boy was perplexed by what just happened. He had sacrificed too much for daddy and mommy's love!Caleb picked Avery up from the ground and gently tapped his little nose with his index finger. "Avery, I've prepared toys for you. I'll give them to you later, okay?"Avery nodded enthusiastically. "Okay! Yay!"After walking Ember and Avery to the car, Caleb realized he had left the toys at home."Ember, the toys I bought for Avery has been left at home. Why don't I take you and Avery to retrieve the toys first before sending you two home?"Ember didn't refuse the offer. Instead, she nodded her head and agreed.Her heart lurched as she noticed the familiar house outside her car window.Caleb had already gotten out of the car and opened the door. With one hand on the car w

This was also where Ember had spent many years in. It would be a lie to say she had no feelings for it.Every corner, every ornament, and even the scent in the air here evoked memories from the past.Ember stepped out of the living room and wandered about aimlessly.She had mixed sentiments about the familiar surroundings and scenery.Previously, she would wait for Caleb to return to the house. She'd knot his tie, put on his suit, and send him off to work.She would also set a table with delicious food and wait for him to return.Ember unconsciously wandered to the garden, where the housekeeping staff milled about busily.A housekeeper in the back garden heard footsteps and assumed it was Caleb. She turned her head and respectfully replied, "Sir, you have..."Before she could finish speaking, she noticed a familiar face."Mrs. Lane, you're back!"This brought Ember back to her senses, and she looked at the familiar face in front of her, shaking her head sheepishly."Kara, it

"Mrs. Lane, please don't blame me for being talkative. I was able to tell that Mr. Lane loves you. That's why I'm saying all these things."Ember's heart pounded, but her expression remained calm.Her smile was sweet yet cold. "I know what you mean. You can resume your tasks. I won't disturb you anymore."After that, Ember turned around and returned to the living room.Avery sat on the carpet, completely immersed in his toys while completely ignoring his mother.Ember sat on the couch, bored of her mind. She was ready to seek Caleb out. Once they were done with their conversation, it'd be time to go home.Ember headed upstairs but couldn't find Caleb.Ember unintentionally passed by the study and noticed that the door was open. The things that Penelope had texted her resurfaced in her memory.As if her feet were charmed, she walked uncontrollably toward Caleb's study.Caleb's computer was turned on.Ember stood in front of the computer desk for around two minutes before makin

Ember patted Avery on the head dotingly."If that's what you want. Why don't I build a house with you?"Avery clapped his chubby hands happily, "Yay! I'll build a big house for Mommy and Daddy."Ember smiled helplessly.Caleb came down from upstairs and saw them playing Lego together. It was so heartwarming.His cold and merciless gaze softened.That was what he longed for.Caleb went to the kitchen and said, "Avery, Em, dinner's ready."Caleb's deep and soothing voice came from the kitchen."Avery, let's have dinner together. Come wash your hands with me."Avery nodded and went to the bathroom obediently with Ember.He put his hands in the sink. While washing his hands, he raised his head and asked softly, "Mommy, can we stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and Daddy."Ember's expression froze involuntarily, and she felt a little guilty.Her eyes flickered. Ember slowly lowered her eyebrows and apologized, "Sorry, Avery. Not today. I want to sleep at our home today

"Yeah, it tastes the same."Caleb breathed a sigh of relief.He said happily, "Try the stir-fried green beans."Avery sat opposite Caleb and saw the nervous look on Caleb's face. He tilted his little head and guessed Caleb must have cooked the meal."Daddy, you cook well. It's delicious," Avery was so happy that he accidentally said what was on his mind.Surprised, Ember looked at Caleb.Caleb felt embarrassed and nervous. He coughed lightly and tried to look calm. "Do you like it? I've never cooked before."Ember was moved when she saw Caleb's nervous and cautious look.She nodded slightly and cast a download glance. "Yeah."Caleb looked at Ember joyfully after hearing that.Avery also praised, "It's delicious. I like it very much."-Ember did not stay after dinner."Avery, it's time to go home."Avery was a little reluctant to leave, but he did not show it. He held Ember's hand obediently and said, "Okay."Caleb stood up with one hand in his pocket. He then handed the

A panicked Allen told Caleb everything that happened that morning."Mr. Lane, someone leaked the confidential documents of our major project online. We must do something to stop it from causing greater impact to the project."Caleb was stunned. Then, he got out of the bed immediately."Got it. Tell the executives we'll have a meeting in half an hour."Caleb had a generic grasp of the situation on his way to Lane Group.Everything about the project was revealed to the public due to the leak of the confidential documents.Lane Group would not just lose money; it'd also lose its business partners' trust.Caleb's expression became frightening when he thought about the consequences.He arrived at the conference room on time after half an hour.All the executives have gathered here, sitting in their seats and talking."What should we do now? Why is this happening? Are we going to pull through this crisis?""Where is Mr. Lane? What took him so long?"-The door to the conference

Caleb stared at him coldly and glanced at the person beside him. "What about you, Mathew?"Matthew Mullins also trembled. He laughed awkwardly and shook his head. "Mr. Lane, I need more time too..."Caleb sneered when he saw the executives lowering their heads without saying a word."Mr. Lane, we may not have a solution yet, but we must find the traitor."Mathew thought for a few seconds, raised his head, and said determinedly, "It must be someone who has access to the documents."Caleb had already thought of that.He looked at everyone present and ordered, "You have one day to stop the documents from going viral and prevent further loss. I'll take care of the culprit."After the meeting ended, Caleb came out of the conference room and called Allen."Check those who accessed the documents recently, especially those who made mistakes."Allen replied, "Yes, Mr. Lane."After the assistant left, Caleb sat in the office, frowning. He recalled Ember's weird reaction yesterday.He

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
