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

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.

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?

    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.

    Ember did a double take before something came to her mind. She then connected the dots in an instant.She suddenly thought of the message Penelope sent her and the confidential documents on Caleb's computer.Ember saw the light. As she looked up and met Caleb's questioning gaze, she felt a throbbing pain, as if he had twisted a knife in her heart."Mr. Lane, you are here purposely to question me. Do you think I leaked the confidential documents?"Caleb stared intently at her with his dark eyes and repeated the question in a cold voice, "Did you do it?"He needed answers and explanations from her.Ember did not leak the confidential documents, nor did she have anything to do with it.However, Caleb questioned Ember right off the bat, which made her comfortable. At the same time, rage welled up in her heart.Ember gave Caleb a cold-eyed stare as she spat out, "Mr. Lane, since you already have the answer in your mind, why bother to ask me in person? If you think I did it, so be it

    Caleb came over to question Ember because the IP address pointed to her."I'm not suspecting your mommy. I'm here to ask her about the IP address."As Caleb spoke, his voice softened involuntarily and he showed Avery the IP address.Although Avery was young, he was quite capable.He recognized at a glance that the IP address referred to the current address of their home.Avery involuntarily knitted his brows with an angry face and said firmly, "Something is definitely not right here."His dark eyes sparkled as he looked up at Caleb. "Daddy, have you ever thought about it? This address is actually fake! Was someone trying to mislead you on purpose? Or did they purposely create a misunderstanding between you and Mommy?"Avery's insightful words changed Caleb's expression instantly, followed by a frown.Caleb dispelled all doubts in his mind upon noticing that Avery strongly believed in Ember.He reached out and stroked Avery's head before he said softly, "Alright, I got it.

    Sitting in front of his desk, Caleb tapped rapidly on the keyboard, trying to crack the code on the computer.He wanted to find out the person who had hacked the computer.However, Caleb still couldn't crack it after spending a long time.Avery paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back, like an adult overseeing work.Avery saw his father busy cracking the code with sweat on the forehead, but to no avail.

    As Caleb apologized, he noticed the change in Ember's facial expression.When Caleb saw her tense face, he was a little flustered explaining himself, "I received your IP address, so I came over just to confirm it. I didn't mean to suspect you."Hearing Caleb's words, Ember raised her eyebrows and responded indifferently, "Oh, I got it. Please hand Avery over. He should go to bed at this late hour."Ember's cold attitude made Caleb feel a dull pain, as if he had been pricked in the heart.Ember didn't say that she would forgive Caleb, so he stared stubbornly at her with a frown and hugged Avery, unwilling to let go of him."Ember, you haven't forgiven me yet? I really didn't suspect you."Looking at the man in this state, Ember raised her eyes and looked him in the eye before she said coldly, "Mr. Lane, it's not about forgiving you or not. I don't take the incident earlier to heart, so you don't have to come over to apologize on purpose."Besides, I just happened to have access t

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
