But Susan forced herself to endure it."Mr. Lane, I’m risking my life to tell you this. I can’t tell it for free."Caleb frowned angrily and said in a deep voice, "Tell me first. It depends on the value of your information."Susan clenched her fists tightly, took a deep breath, and spoke."Last night, Dr. Miller asked me to meet him at a small house at No. 72 Maroon Street."Caleb stared at Susan with murderous intent when he heard that.Susan was frightened by his expression and shrank, "Please don't look at me like that. He approached me anonymously. I didn’t know it was him."Caleb's eyes were cold and solemn, and his jaw was tense, showing his anger."What did he want from you?"Susan had decided to tell Caleb everything she knew. She could not help Wilson because Caleb would notice she was in league with Wilson anyway.She knew what Caleb was capable of. Losing the chance to study abroad would be the least he would do.Susan would never take the risk."Dr. Miller wan
"Just agree with Dr. Miller if he ever asks for your opinion. You don't have to interfere with the issue at the lab. I will take care of it."Susan vaguely understood Caleb's intention, so she nodded slightly."I have to attend to other matters. Ms. Baker, you should go back now."-Ember was groggy from sleep inertia. She turned over subconsciously and felt the cold area next to her.She opened her eyes drowsily, only to find that Caleb was no longer beside her.She grabbed the phone beside her and looked at the time—it was just a little before 5:00 a.m.Where could he have gone at this hour?She no longer felt sleepy after noticing Caleb's absence, so she got up and went downstairs.Just then, the travel-worn Caleb walked into the house with an air of aloofness.When he saw Ember sitting on the couch in the living room, he stopped in his tracks and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little while longer?"Ember's eyes fell on him as she r
Caleb trusted Stephen completely.Stephen was a little surprised when he received a call from Caleb. He couldn't help but ask, "What business do you have calling me at this hour, Mr. Lane?"Caleb looked serious as he told Stephen everything that might happen at the lab.After hearing those words, Stephen's expression changed as he asked, "Someone is trying to sabotage the research? Who is it?""I still don't know their identity, but Dr. Miller contacted Susan Baker before. She is the most suspicious person so far."Stephen grimaced at Susan's name and said in a deep voice, "Tell me what you need me to do, Mr. Lane."Stephen had long known that Susan fancied Caleb.He wasn't surprised that Susan had gotten involved, but he was very disappointed in her.Caleb spoke cautiously in a cold voice, "Professor Stone, I may need you to tamper with your research on purpose after this to create confusion. You have to make everyone else mistakenly believe that the research has gone wrong, e
Ember trusted Caleb completely.She nodded slightly at him and agreed readily, "Okay."She wanted to spend more time with her mother.After agreeing to the suggestion, Ember suddenly realized something. She then looked up at Caleb with a concerned look in her eyes and asked, "Will it delay your work?"Caleb slowly curled his lip with a gentle look in his eyes.He reached out, stroked Ember's head, and replied dotingly, "Of course not. I have left the company's affairs to Allen, so I don't need to worry about it."Your mother matters the most now."It warmed Ember's heart when Caleb still stayed by her side despite the difficult time.A smile blossomed across her fair face as she gently hugged Caleb and said gently, "Caleb, thank you for being willing to be with me all this time.""What are you talking about? We are spouses. Of course I will always be with you.""Alright, don't you have to go to the hospital later? I'll take you there before I head to the lab."Ember nodded s
"Dr. Miller sent me a message today to ask for my answer. I replied to him as you instructed, Mr. Lane."Caleb narrowed his dark eyes. After hearing her words, he nodded slightly with satisfaction.He leaned back on the chair and rhythmically tapped his slender fingers on the table.Without concealing his intention, he got straight to the point and said, "I need you to lure out Dr. Miller and the mastermind behind him. Can you do it?"Susan couldn't help but look confused upon hearing those words."How do I do it?"After a pause, she quickly continued, "Mr. Lane, you already owed me a favor when I divulged the information to you back then. How are you going to repay me if I help you this time?"Susan was a shrewd woman.She knew that this cooperation was dangerous for her, but at the same time it was the best opportunity for her to get close to Caleb.Caleb stared at Susan with razor-sharp eyes. After hearing her words, he slowly narrowed his eyes.An imposing aura emanated f
"I don't have any ulterior motive, Mr. Lane. I just want to take a stand in this matter so that you can completely trust me. I will fully cooperate with anything you task me with."Caleb was quite satisfied with the reply.He nodded slightly and said coldly, "Try to contact Dr. Miller and make an appointment with him to find out about the mastermind behind him."Right now, Caleb wanted to confirm if Henry was the one who had taken Wilson away.With a reluctant look on her slightly crumpled face, Susan replied, "Contact Dr. Miller? This may be a little difficult."Dr. Miller contacted me using a different phone number every time. They are all virtual numbers, so I have no way to determine his contact information, let alone his address."Caleb had a sinister look in his eyes as he curled his lip coldly. He then said firmly, "Don't worry, he will contact you tomorrow for sure."Caleb came out of the lab and went to the hospital.As expected, Ember hadn't left the hospital yet.On
Caleb grimaced at those remarks.He looked coldly at the staff present and questioned, "Is there really no way to proceed the research? Why didn't you all check carefully when you conducted the experiment in the first place? How could you make such a rookie mistake?"After hearing Caleb's questions, Stephen, standing among the crowd, cleared his throat and interrupted him in a low voice, "Alright, all of you, stop arguing. It is normal for deviations and errors to occur during a research. Let's solve the problem now. It's pointless to make a fuss about it."Stephen spoke lightly, but the surrounding researchers disagreed with him.They all looked embarrassed and said reluctantly, "Professor Stone, that's easy for you to say. It will be time-consuming to redo the experiments, and we will run out of time!""Once we missed the deadline given by Dr. Sanders, there will be no way to wake up her mother even if we manage to develop the specific drug."Silence instantly filled the confer
Wilson was obviously the one had sent the two messages, judging from the content.[How is the situation, Ms. Baker?][Have you settled the issue at the lab?]Caleb, standing next to Susan, happened to glance at the content on her phone out of the corner of his eye.A fierce glint flashed across Caleb's dark eyes after he saw the two messages.He clenched his fists and reminded her coldly, "Reply to him and tell him the job is done."You will meet with him to determine his sincerity in the cooperation. If he can't make the decision, meet the mastermind behind him."The quick-witted Susan immediately understood what he meant.She raised her head and glanced at Caleb. Then, she nodded slightly and replied in front of him, [The job is done. When are you going to fulfill the promise you have made?[There are problems with the lab data, so they will have to take a lot of time to redo some of the research. Based on the current progress at the lab, it is no longer possible to complete
