Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 73
Upon entering the building, Avery was immediately recognized by the receptionist, who recalled the previous encounter with the boy. She braced herself, anticipating potential mischief from him.Avery surprised her by being really courteous this time, asking, "Hello, could you please get Caleb for me? He's my dad."She considered it for a while. Then, she dialed the internal line with a smile and informed him, "Mr. Gerry, there's a boy here claiming to be Mr. Lane's son, asking to see Mr. Lane."Gerry was somewhat confused and responded skeptically, "Mr. Lane's son? Could be a hoax."He was not regularly in Caleb's company and was thus less aware of his personal life.Overhearing the conversation, Caleb stepped forward and questioned, "Who wants to see me?"Before the receptionist could reply, Avery piped up eagerly, "Daddy, it's me! Avery!"Caleb immediately softened his tone, urging, "Avery, wait for me downstairs."The phone call came to an end with a click.It was not long

Caleb agreed with a nod, "Absolutely. We must move quickly for the safety of these children."They resolved to head back to Millersville to conduct a more thorough investigation.Just as they were about to set off, Caleb's phone rang.It was Nick, sounding irritated. "What's going on? Why haven't you been answering your calls?"Caleb contemplated for a moment and then chose not to hide the truth."I'm tied up with the human trafficker case. It's hectic. Can you manage the company for a while? Please call only if necessary."With that brief explanation, Caleb ended the call before Nick could respond and hurriedly got in the car to leave.On the other end, Nick, hearing the call end abruptly, called out for Caleb a few times in frustration.Annoyed, he then gave Penelope a call, "Hey, how about a drink? Caleb is on the hunt for human traffickers and just hung up on me."Penelope's ears perked up at the word 'human traffickers'."What about human traffickers?" she asked sharply.

The buyer was not one to be intimidated, arriving with several burly men. She stood her ground firmly against the traffickers, leading to a heated argument.Ember and Caleb observed the confrontation from their concealed location, silently condemning the way these individuals treated children as mere objects of trade.Surprisingly, they discovered that the two groups were in conflict.Ember reasoned that they should let them fight it out because it might work in their favor.As the situation became more intense, the traffickers tried to take the child and leave in a desperate move.The duo exchanged glances, understanding each other's plans without words.Caleb immediately texted his assistant. Briefly, his aide quickly brought a readily assembled team and arrived on the scene.The sudden intervention caught both the traffickers and the buyer off guard.Caleb's team immediately began to apprehend the traffickers, while the buyer seized the moment to escape.Caleb intervened to

As Scarface's gaze fell upon him, a subordinate swiftly provided him with a mobile phone.Ember was filled with worry. She subtly gestured toward Caleb, silently urging him to call the police.Surveying their surroundings, Caleb noticed the vigilant guards watching them closely, his heart sinking with realization.The guards stood watchfully. They were armed and prepared to act at the slightest hint of trouble. Their situation was bad.While contacting his company's finance department, Caleb pondered the situation. He questioned why mere human traffickers would be armed, a thought that perplexed him.Caleb went on to say, "The 50 million will be transferred to you soon, so when can we leave?"Scarface simply laughed and said nothing.Soon after, a subordinate nervously handed him the scarface phone and said, "Chief, K is on the line."The mention of "K" piqued both Caleb and Ember's attention, prompting them to listen carefully while feigning indifference.Conversing with K, S

A bullet struck Scarface in the arm, eliciting a scream of pain from him as his gun dropped from his grasp to the ground.Caleb and Ember did not waste a moment and ran away from the scene.One of the criminal's visibly shaking subordinates yelled out, "Chief! The cops are here! It's got to be them who tipped off the police!"With the police closing in, the traffickers began a desperate resistance.Noticing Caleb and Ember's escape, one of the traffickers retrieved the gun from the ground and shot at Ember.The sound of the gunshot echoed and startled many on the scene.Ember was frozen in terror. She could only watch as the bullet sped toward her.In the nick of time, Caleb pushed her away and took the bullet in his shoulder. With blood pouring out of him, he collapsed on the ground and lay motionless."Caleb!"The police quickly subdued the shooter, but his eyes were still burning with resentment.Following an intense confrontation, the police managed to apprehend all the t

Ember breathed a sigh of relief, knowing Caleb was out of danger and that the rescued children were in the care of Caleb's assistant.Nick hurriedly arrived after hearing the news. He asked anxiously, "Ember, how's Caleb doing?"With a dry throat and a shake of her head, Ember replied, "He's not in a critical condition, but he suffered a heart attack during emergency treatment. He's going to need some time to recover.""Also, I need a favor," she added quietly, looking down.It was her first time seeking assistance from someone in Caleb's circle, but given the urgency, she had no other option but to ask for Nick's help."Tell me what you need," Nick said, willing to assist without making things difficult for her."Could you look after the children we saved for a while? I need to manage Caleb's situation first, then I'll take them back," Ember requested.Ember had previously met the children, and their pitying stares broke her heart."I've got this. Focus on Caleb," assured Nick

Around midday, as Caleb contemplated an excuse to visit Ember, she unexpectedly arrived to tend to his injury."It's time for a dressing change," she announced flatly, treating him like any other patient.She approached him to gently remove the bandages, her focus entirely on the task despite the sunlight casting a warm glow on her face.A ray of sunlight that entered through the window illuminated Ember's face. However, her mind was totally on the work at hand.For a brief moment, Caleb was enamored with her attractive features. If Ember permitted it, he wished he could lean in and kiss her."Ouch!"A sharp pain brought him back to the present as Ember tended to his wound."It's going to hurt a little, but you have to bear with it," Ember replied, her gaze fixed on the wound, addressing Caleb as if he were just another patient.She moved fast and efficiently to change the dressing."I'll arrange for your lunch to be brought here. I have other patients to look after. Be carefu

"The person behind these events is the former vice principal of your school, Ms. Donelle," the police officer conveyed to Ember over the phone."Thank you for the information," Ember responded, her voice steady.She had already suspected Donelle but also thought that there might be more people involved.The officer added, "We've been unable to capture her. She appears to have escaped abroad."This news caught Ember off guard, and she asked, "She's escaped abroad?"She had assumed that Donelle would stay close by to help Penelope because she recalled Penelope bailing Donelle out."Alright, I appreciate your help," Ember concluded the conversation.***Meanwhile, Penelope was making an international call while looking out her window."Have you settled in? Don't come back. I won't be able to help you again," she said coldly and emotionlessly."I understand, but I need money. Can you help?" Donelle's voice came over the phone."I'll transfer 500,000 dollars to your account. Make

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.

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

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.

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.

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
