Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 424
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

"I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything. Don't breathe a word to Professor Stone, or else my future will be bleak."Caleb gave him a profound glance, and the folks behind him swiftly provided two stools for them to sit on.Just like that, one person spoke while kneeling on the ground, while the other two listened from their stools.When Stanley finished explaining everything, Caleb and Ember had a general understanding of the situation.Someone took advantage of Stanley's feelings for Susan. They paid him a huge quantity of money to take those pictures of the two and send them to Ember, wanting to cause problems.Although the person behind this was very discreet when transferring the money and issuing the order, the two knew who it was.Wilson was the only one who had been going against them behind their backs.Seeing that the two did not speak, Stanley crept to their feet."I've explained everything I know. Are you guys able to let me go?"Caleb did not respond, instead allo

William almost cried when he heard his own boss's voice."I don't know. Someone suddenly rushed to our ship and burned all those goods. I wanted to bring people to grab the goods, but those people rushed up to us with blades. Several of my men shielded me, and I managed to escape."Only after saying this did Henry notice the burning odor on William's body. Numerous strands of his hair had been burned away.Seeing this, Henry could no longer contain his rage."All of you, follow me. I'd like to see who's so bold to cause me trouble today."He led a huge contingent of his men to the pier, leaving only a few to protect the lair.When Wilson awoke, he saw someone holding a blade to his throat.Before he could respond, he noticed recognizable people approaching him."Dr. Miller, it's been a long time since I've seen you. You said that you've done so much behind the scenes, how should I pay you back this time?"Dr. Wilson’s pupils shrunk somewhat when he heard this, and if he hadn't

"Sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect them to be so cunning. They caught all our subordinates and raided our base."Henry was furious. He might have jumped into the sea without his confidants around.Henry calmed down shortly afterward. He looked at Caleb and gritted his teeth."Well done, Mr. Lane."Henry's compliment did not sound pleasant due to his terrifying expression.But Caleb did not care.He smiled joyfully and said, "I found many things in your base. Thanks for the gifts. I really appreciate it."Henry couldn't hold it anymore. He spat out a mouthful of blood.He thought for a moment before suggesting, "You can take them. I'll let you have twenty percent of my company's profit too. Just let me go."Caleb was silent. He seemed to be thinking about Henry's proposal.After a while, Caleb teased, "Thanks, but I don't need them. Besides, your money may be illegal. No, thanks."Caleb did not want to talk anymore, so he ordered his subordinates, "Get him. He can give us a

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. She raised her head and replied in a choked voice,

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. We are going to ex

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. The best Ember could do was decrease Valerie's suffering as much as she could.Valerie was very sensible. She gritted her teeth and endured the when it hurt.Jamie noticed that after having a similar experience.Sh

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
