Susan had already arrived at the designated place for the meeting.This was an extremely private tea room. Visitors had to make reservations in advance.After entering the tea room, Susan announced her name. A waiter approached her and made a polite gesture."Ms. Baker, this way please. Your room is over here."The waiter brought her to a room. Susan gently nodded and pushed the door to enter.Then she noticed Dr. Miller seated on a cushion while drinking tea calmly.When she saw him in this state, she couldn't help but sneer, her voice slightly sarcastic. "You really are calm, Dr. Miller. At this moment, you are still in the mood to drink tea."Wasn't he worried that Caleb would bring someone over to arrest him?Dr. Wilson appeared to understand the meaning of Susan's comments. He gently raised his head and resumed his friendly smile. "Our cooperation has been smooth so far, Ms. Baker. Of course, I'm in the mood to drink tea. Take a seat. Let's have a nice chat, shall we?"
Susan's eyes narrowed as she gazed at the person in front of her, her heart filled with vigilance."Ms. Baker, I need you to go to Caleb and take the initiative to confess to him that you've seen me. After that, tell him about our plan."Wilson's words immediately made her eyes widen.She was incredulous, and for a moment, she was unclear what Wilson's goal was in doing this.Suppressing her concerns, Susan urgently fought to keep her composure. ''Why do you want me to do this? Won't I be exposed if I do this?"The research is now in trouble. if I go and confess to Caleb now, then he'll definitely hate me."Wilson smiled mysteriously.He was quick to respond. "It's true that something went wrong with the research institute, but Caleb has no evidence as well, right?"Even if you confess to him, he doesn't know how the research went wrong. If you take the initiative to confess at this time and show your heartfelt intentions, you might be able to win his favor.""I still have a s
The man's eyes opened again, concealing a homicidal intent.He took out his cell phone and sent a message.The message had just been sent when the electricity in the room went out.The room fell into darkness for a brief moment.The expressions on both of their faces could not help but harden. Wilson's brows furrowed in confusion."What's happening here? Why is there a power outage?"Susan sat in her seat, coughing softly and saying, "Dr. Miller, why don't you go see what's going on outside? Is it possible that someone is following us?The words of Susan instantaneously alerted him.Wilson was now a fugitive, hiding from Ember and Caleb all over the place. He was fearful that Caleb would discover him and bring him to court.He could not let that happen.Wilson was vigilant. After hearing Susan's comments, he stood up and exited the room without hesitation.Susab also swiftly took up the cell phone that Wilson had placed on the tea table and inserted the button Caleb had give
Ember left the hospital early the next morning, having confirmed that her mother's condition was still stable and without complications.Just as she was about to leave for the research institute, she ran into Caleb, who had rushed over to the hospital.Ember was surprised when she saw him and couldn't help but ask, "Why did you come over so early?"With a serious expression, Caleb led her to his car."Are you going to the institute?"Ember nodded gently and smiled. "That's right, I want to go over there to take a look and make sure there are no problems over there."Caleb was intensely serious. "I'll go with you."Ember did not refuse, and the two of them traveled to the research institute together.Although it was still early, the institute's researchers had already begun their work. They were all occupied at their own stations. When Ember arrived, they just greeted her by nodding.Ember examined everyone's work one by one, paying close attention to the expression on each per
His hand, which held the documents, tightened. His eyes turned cold.Susan had been silently examining his facial expression when she delivered him the information.Seeing his expression change dramatically, she subconsciously took a deep breath. "Mr. Lane, I'm a bit unsure what the others are planning to do right now. Dr. Miller even wants me to confess everything he did to you. I really don't know what his purpose is for doing this."I fully trust you, Mr. Lane. I'll do whatever you tell me to."…Ember was sitting across from Stephen in his office at the time with a serious expression on her face."Professor Stone, is there truly no problem with the research thus far? Can the research be done on time?The situation on her mother's side could not wait any longer.Stephen possessed extensive credentials and never offered meaningless words.Hearing her question, he responded honestly, "I've been keeping an eye on the core of the project. I can guarantee that nothing will go wr
Caleb inspected the photos as he became increasingly somber."That person should be glad that I didn't catch him at that time, but I won't let him get away with it next time."As he said so, he thought of something and turned to look at Ember, intending to explain. However, she spoke directly."I believe you. You don't have to worry. Those who cause trouble at this time are those who have bad intentions."Caleb breathed a long sigh of relief and held her in his arms."As long as you believe in me, then I have no fear for others."The two of them remained quiet till they returned to the villa. That was when Avery appeared."Daddy, Mommy, you're finally back."Caleb knelt down and hugged Avery."Were you a good boy?""Don't worry, Daddy. I'm on my best behavior. Have you guys taken care of everything? Do you want me to help?"Both of them were aware of what Avery could do. They thought of today's situation, and their facial expressions showed that they needed some help.Avery
"Mr. Lane, are you looking for me?"When Caleb saw Ember's unhappy look, his speech became a little stiff."Meet me at the restaurant tomorrow. I have something for you."Ember was startled when these words came out. It was quite easy to detect the awkwardness in Caleb's voice. Just as she was about to give up on this idea, the other side agreed to it immediately.Ember almost didn't respond when the phone went silent.But when she thought about it closely, she realized what the problem was. Caleb was finally responding to Susan's attempts to flirt with him. Thus, she was unconcerned about the specifics of his tone and would agree to everything that he said.On the other hand, Susan meticulously dressed and examined her flawless appearance in the mirror. She was very satisfied with herself.She went to the appointment full of delight. At first, she was a little nervous, but when she saw that captivating back of Caleb in the restaurant, all of her insecurities vanished."Mr. L
Caleb did not want her to know too much, so he dismissed her."Your job here is done. You can leave now."Susan's eyes widened as she took two steps backward, a mild ache emanating from her sprained ankle."So, you called me here today to use me, Mr. Lane?"Caleb grew angry. "Do you have an issue with that? You promised to work with me from the start. Remember what we previously agreed on."Susan was filled with rage, but she could not release it. After all, he was correct; everything was carried out as promised.When she thought about the food that had yet to be served at the restaurant today, she felt like a joke.Caleb noticed her reaction and gently arched his brow. "I'll have someone give you a check later as compensation for your help."Susan opened her mouth, but her words were cut short when she saw his cold demeanor.She could only nod and depart.Caleb waved his hand, indicating that there were no outsiders present. Soon, the individual laying on the ground was grab
