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
They looked into the room through the window.There were shards everywhere. Everything fragile had been smashed. Wilson did not seem tired and was looking for other things to smash.Suddenly, Wilson noticed them, stared at them, and shouted after realizing who they were."I knew it! I'll call the police to arrest you when I get out!"Ember and Caleb looked at each other with small smiles on their faces. Then, they opened the door and walked in.As soon as they entered, something came flying toward their heads. Fortunately, they managed to dodge it.Caleb's expression was terrifying when he glanced at the thing that fell to the ground.He waved behind him, and his subordinates immediately rushed forward and took Wilson to the next room.Wilson kept struggling and almost broke free.They managed to force Wilson to sit in another room.Wilson still behaved like a psycho, trying to smash things in the room.However, he was stopped before he could try."I'll chop off your hands
Ember was excited when she saw the caller ID."Professor Stone, have you made any progress?"Stephen said excitedly, "You're right. We can proceed to clinical trials." Ember could tell how cheerful Stephen was by listening to his voice."That's great. I'll tell the hospital management to get ready for it. Thank you so much for your effort, professor.""It'll be a huge success if it works on Mrs. Sanders."They chatted for a while and hung up the phone.Caleb listened to their conversation and was very happy."Great! Let's take the kids there. We need to inform the hospital management to make arrangements in advance."Ember nodded.On the way to the hospital, Ember looked at the receding scenery outside the window, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.Avery and Jamie noticed that and sat quietly in the car.They rushed to the ward after they reached the hospital.Ember walked to the bed excitedly, looking at Mia."Mom, you'll get well soon. We can't wait for the da
