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
Ember knew Caleb had ulterior motives; he was actually waiting here for her.However, she had to discuss the collaboration with him. So, she took a deep breath and entered the meeting room where Caleb was waiting."It's really hard to get you here, huh? It took a few calls before you were willing to come.""Since it's about the collaboration, it would be the same regardless of who you spoke to. Ms. Donelle spends more time at the school than I do, so she understands how things work here better me."Caleb chuckled. "I've told you, haven't I? If Lane Group and Saint Lucia collaborate, you'll need to be fully involved. We've signed the contract."Ember pushed down her irritation. She didn't expect Caleb to be waiting for her here.However, there was nothing she could do but discuss the collaboration with him."I haven't properly seen Saint Lucia. Come with me for a tour, will you?" Caleb said as he stood up.Ember pursed her lips. She glanced at Donelle and signaled her to follow.
Caleb was upset. Lugh's presence would only disturb them, and he didn't want that.He arched a dashing brow and looked at Ember. "I said I would only talk to you."Saint Lucia Convent was Robin's passion and hard work, and Ember greatly cared about it. The shareholders were also watching closely. If this collaboration failed, who knew what trouble might arise?Although working with Caleb was a threat, the project with Lane Group was a perfect fit for the school.Lugh saw her hesitation and smiled softly."Ember, there's a tricky patient at the hospital. We need you to take a look.""Why didn't you say so earlier?"When it came to patients, Ember immediately became serious. There was a sense of responsibility on her small face."Mr. Lane, a patient's life can't wait. Let's discuss the collaboration later."After saying that, Ember followed Lugh into the car.Sitting in the back seat, Ember urgently asked, "What's the situation with the patient? Tell me."Lugh hummed in resp
On one side, the accusations were flying high.On the other, Caleb received a message and rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he saw Ember dressed in thin clothing and surrounded by the deceased little girl's angry family members.Ember remained silent in the face of everyone's accusation. She pursed her lips and stood rooted in place.Lugh stood in front of her, shielding her. Like her, they both silently endured the family's anger.Feeling a twinge in his heart, Caleb walked up quickly and said, "You came all the way here to cause a scene. It's just for money, isn't it? Speak up. How much do you want?""How dare you?! My daughter is dead, and you want to insult me?" The girl's father stared at Caleb with wide eyes, his emotions becoming increasingly unstable as time passed.Caleb dismissed the man's words and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It's all about money, isn't it?"He wanted to settle it with money, but the girl's father was uncontrollable. "Get lost! Can your mone
