Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 24
Caleb forcibly suppressed his anger, trying his best to ignore Lugh. He looked at Ember gently and said, “Em, we’re married. We should be the ones dancing together!”That instantly caught everyone’s attention as they waited for the drama to unfold.Ember looked at him with her chin slightly raised, but her eyes were icy cold. “You must have forgotten, Mr. Lane. The only thing that’s between our divorce is your signature.”As soon as he signed the divorce papers, they would both be set free.“But we’re not divorced yet!” Caleb insisted, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.With a mocking smile, Ember tucked her hair behind her ear and stared right into Caleb’s eyes. “I don’t understand how you can be so thick-skinned.”Caleb said through gritted teeth, “Em, please don’t.”Ember never expected that despite already sounding so harsh, he still didn’t want to let her go.“Don’t do what? Mr. Lane, looking at the relationship we had four years ago, we should separate peacefully.”Cale

Ember looked at Lugh with her lips pursed. He involuntarily clenched his fists while speaking. While he still looked calm, his eyes never left her.“You are Avery’s godfather in the first place. He’s too young to be able to explain what he meant. Don’t misunderstand it,” Ember said with a faint smile, telling him what her thoughts were indirectly.Lugh laughed lightly. He knew what Ember meant and didn’t want to make it difficult for her.“It’s time to teach Avery how to speak properly. He’s almost ready for kindergarten.”When it came to Avery, Ember cared a lot. “True. After this year, it’s time to send him to kindergarten. Lugh, thanks for taking care of us both for all these years.”“There’s no need to say thanks between the two of us. I’ll send you home,” Lugh said. He knew that, as long as he didn’t force the issue, they could still be friends. And he could be Ember’s best friend.“I'd like to go back on my own,” Ember sighed. Her thoughts were all over the place and she ne

Caleb smiled coldly and began to compose his post, and then attached his marriage certificate with it.[It’s just a fight between husband and wife. I’m currently asking my wife for forgiveness. Dear netizens, please don’t spread false news.]The netizens became interested. Everyone loved the drama.Ember quickly found out, and the way everyone looked at her was making her upset.In the end, she found Caleb’s post and then replied to it.[My lawyer will contact you. Please don’t turn this into news during our divorce!]The netizens became even more excited as they watched the drama. Avery found out about this unknowingly. He gave it a thought and then ran to the computer. His stubby little hand began to type on the keyboard, and he found the list of popular searches.The little boy pouted, believing that the bad man must have bullied his mommy.Then he searched for news about Caleb. When he saw his photo, Avery was stunned.So… It was him!Avery grinned as a plan formed in his

Entering the elevator, Avery coldly snorted with his hands on his hip, “That’s what you get for bullying my mommy! That’ll show you!”Cheerfully, Avery hummed a song as he left. Just as he reached the entrance, he bumped into someone, and the flyers in his arms scattered on the floor.The person that he had ran into took a few steps back, almost falling.After Penelope knew about Caleb getting chewed out on the internet, she didn’t even have her breakfast before rushing over to the company to show how much she cared and also slander Ember.She didn’t expect that she would run into someone the moment she stepped into the company, making her even angrier.“Are you blind?! How dare you bump into me!” Penelope roared angrily.Avery knew that it was his fault, and he was going to apologize. But when he saw it was Penelope, he rolled his eyes and didn’t want to apologize anymore. Someone as wicked as her didn’t deserve his apology!When Penelope saw that the person that rammed into

Penelope looked at Caleb nervously. “I didn’t do anything, Caleb.”Avery snorted and continued to complain, “She’s so fierce. I was worried that she’d eat me alive!”Then, he turned to look at Caleb and pouted. “Don’t think I don’t know what your relationship with her is. Don’t need to pretend to be the good guy. You’re not like this when you bullied my mommy!”Caleb's assistant came and found out who was giving out the flyers. “Sir, I think the boy is your son...”The assistant's gaze fell on Avery, thinking that they were virtually identical.“Alright, enough,” Caleb rubbed his temples, but his gaze never left the boy.“What? Was I wrong? Or are you going to beat me to death because of the flyers, too?” Avery questioned him.Caleb shook his head. “No, but there are too many people here, and it’s not convenient to talk. I’ll take you to my office, alright?”Avery was hesitating, but when he saw Penelope’s expression from the corner of his eye, he chose to follow him.He might

The assistant nodded and hurried out to prepare.Avery sat on the sofa, looking left and right. Then, he saw a photo album on the desk.The woman in the photos was indeed his mom.Originally, he didn’t believe what Caleb had said completely. But his faith was shaken after seeing those photos.His brain began processing, wondering if Caleb really did love Ember.The assistant ran back to the company with a bunch of things in tow. Everyone at the reception saw that they were meant for kids and walked over.“He really is the CEO’s son. Why haven’t we seen him before?” the receptionist asked curiously.The assistant glared at her, “You’re not busy enough, are you? Do you think our boss’s personal life is any of your business?”The receptionist then mumbled, “So what if we just want to know a little more? It doesn’t hurt anyone.”The assistant also wanted to join the gossip if he could.However, before Caleb gave the word, he had to keep his mouth sealed.“Back to work, now. Don’

When Ember saw the flyers, she was stunned. Did that little rascal sneak out and cause trouble here?“And this one.”Caleb found the security footage, with a playful glint in his eyes.After watching the footage, Ember was feeling embarrassed. “Well... Um... He’s just a child. He’s still too young.”“Still too young is a good enough excuse for everything?” Caleb said forcefully as his handsome face got closer to Ember. Ember was choked and took a step back subconsciously only to hear Caleb say, “Yes, it can be because he’s too young and didn’t know better. But on the flip side, I can say that he’s trying to slander me.”Caleb was going to use this to his advantage.Ember’s eyes went cold as she stared at Caleb.Caleb waited for a moment before sitting down and crossing his legs as he drank a cup of coffee. “Why don’t you have a seat?”“What do you want?” Ember stood there.“I don’t want us to get a divorce,” Caleb said the words out loud.“That’s impossible.” Ember didn’t e

The contract was prepared long ago.Since Caleb contacted Ember, he had already planned how to proceed. Ember reluctantly signed the contract.After the signing, Caleb wasted no time. He immediately called Allen to bring Avery over.In fact, Avery had already returned, but he had been waiting at the door. Allen didn't let him in, but the boy had overheard their conversation.Upon entering, Avery glared fiercely at Caleb as if he wanted to rush forward and attack him.Not wanting to stay any longer with Caleb, Ember pulled Avery by his ear and moved to leave as she scolded him.Watching the mother and son leave, Caleb smiled knowingly and reminded, "Don't forget about our collaboration. I'll personally be dropping by."Ember paused, her expression becoming even more unpleasant. Without saying anything else, she walked away with Avery.After going downstairs and returning to the car, Avery lowered his head and apologized."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was wrong..."Ember gathered hersel

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.

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.

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.

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
