Vengeance Against That Scum Chapter 10
Caleb didn’t even know how he left. His mind was filled with nothing but Ember’s last words.No longer in her and her son’s world...When he was back in Penelope’s ward, she was sitting by her bed with teary eyes, looking at the door.When she finally saw Caleb coming back, she quickly wiped those tears away and forced a smile. “You’re back, Caleb? I’m so sorry. I was being too selfish. But I just like you too much...”“Enough, Penny. I’ve agreed to collaborate with Ferguson Corp. Just tell me how much you need. Treat it as my compensation to you.” Caleb took a deep breath and lit a cigarette before puffing out a smoke ring. He looked exhausted.Penelope froze, the hands she hid under the blanket curled into fists.She didn’t want the collaboration or the money. She wanted the entire Lane family and the status of Mrs. Lane!“You’re really abandoning me, Caleb?” Penelope tried hard not to cry as she bit her lips, making sure that Caleb saw it. She was trying her best to look piti

Before Ember got to the school, she had already sent out a message to Donelle. When she arrived, Donelle was already waiting at the gate.The sun was blazing in the middle of the sky. Donelle was wearing a gray suit and a pair of heels, waiting at the school gate with her back straight.Ember stopped, waiting inside the car nonchalantly.Donelle waited for half an hour as her impatience grew, her sweat wet her hair and her face’s makeup was all muddled. But even then, she didn’t leave.Ember smiled, switched the car’s air conditioner off, and walked over slowly.Donelle quickly hid the annoyance on her face and greeted her with a bright smile. “Ms. Ember, what brings you here today?”Ember simply walked inside. Then, she paused, and her eyes laid on her. “Ms. Donnelle, I remember that you liked to gather all the students in the field to listen to your speech.Donelle’s heart skipped a beat. She didn’t know why Ember would suddenly ask about that, but when she looked into those e

After Donelle left and went back to her office, she drank a glass of cold water and rested a long while in the office before she finally regained her strength. She gritted her teeth as she recalled what had happened just now.Since Ember wasn’t going to make it easy for her, she wouldn’t have to stay her hand too!However, she alone wouldn’t be enough to deal with Ember.Before dealing with Ember, she didn’t mind using the Saint Lucia Convent’s other shareholders to make things bad for her.Before Ember could leave, Donelle already put her makeup back on and led a group of shareholders, appearing in front of Ember.“The shareholders have a lot of things to ask now that you’re back, Ms. Ember,” Donelle said with a smile and then gave the people next to her a few glances.Knowing that Saint Lucia Convent was now owned by Ember, they then contacted Donelle wanting to meet her.All they knew was that Saint Lucia Convent’s current owner was a former student, but they knew nothing els

The shareholders felt that Ember might be more talented than she seemed to be. Seemingly unassuming, she could get things done.Originally, they were not on the same side as Donelle. It was Donelle who told them the school had fallen into the hands of an amateur.They had contributed a lot to the school, and all of them had looked after the children as they grew up. Of course, they didn’t want to see the school go to ruin.Now that they were able to see some of Ember’s abilities, they were becoming less disdainful of her.Other than the few who were on better terms with Donelle, the others believed that they could give Ember a chance.Donelle thought that she had it in the bag. She didn’t expect to have failed.Ember looked at everything that was happening. There was a cold flash in her eyes.That was all they had got, and they still wanted to challenge her?After she discussed the school’s development with the major shareholders, all of them then left.The more Donelle though

However, it was obvious that the man wasn’t scared of the security guard. A few other men appeared from the shadows.Ember narrowed his eyes. Her instincts told her that these people were after her.She remembered what happened back at the hospital. She couldn’t stop her face from turning pale as she tightened her fists.“Are you alright, Ms. Ember?” The children looked at her worryingly.She calmed herself down and took a deep breath before dispersing the students back into the school.There are other security guards inside the school. They wouldn’t dare to do anything else for the time being.But it was with great consequences in the end, and Ember couldn’t allow it to go on. She quickly called the police.There was a station just near the school, so the police reached them quickly enough. But by the time they reached Saint Lucia, the troublemakers were already gone.The limited edition black Aldi that was parked outside was splashed all over with red paint and scratched.Th

The police viewed this as a serious matter and immediately launched an investigation.Meanwhile, Ember got back to the school. She still needed to let the children know that she was safe. However, Donelle stopped her the moment that she was at the gate.“What is it?” Ember asked with an eyebrow raised.“Aren’t you going to explain what happened on the internet, Ms. Ember?” Donelle was parading like a victor from a war. She refused to back down even in front of Ember. It was the first time that she dared to stand in front of her with such confidence.Some of the shareholders were also standing at the gate and looked at her with hostility.“Ms. Ember, this is a school. This is not a school where you can do what you want. The students are here to learn.“You’ve already ruined the school’s reputation the moment you took over. Who’s willing to send their children to study after this?” Donelle smiled with confidence and agreed with the shareholders. All the words she had said reinfor

It was already evening when Ember left the school, and the sky was painted a shade of afterglow.She had already sent the car to the machine shop for repairs and so she borrowed a more discreet vehicle from the school’s collection. As the sun was setting, Ember realized that there was a car tailing her when she was driving back home. No matter where she went, the car would follow her at a fixed distance.“The netizens again?” she mumbled to herself.She wasn’t a celebrity, so she didn’t expect to be the target of getting stalked one day.All those so-called whistleblowers needed to do was to “expose” something, and those people would easily become their blades. How laughable.Regardless of the outcome, they were merely tools. Ember clicked her tongue and stepped on the gas. Her car immediately shot out.Screech!There was an ear-piercing screech as Ember had to suddenly hit on the brakes as she almost hit whatever was in front of her.Suddenly, there was a car that appeared o

“Enough talk!” Caleb roared and led his men into the fray.However, as the ambushers came in force, Caleb was finding it somewhat more difficult to deal with them as he also had to keep an eye on Ember.Ember watched the fight while maintaining her vigilance throughout. When she saw one of the thugs take out a knife, her eyes suddenly narrowed and she yelled, “Watch out!”Caleb reacted in an instant, held the knife with his hand, then kicked the man away.Ember was in a panic as she saw the blood in Caleb’s hand, her feelings thrown into disarray.She then joined the battle as well. She grabbed one of the thugs by the arm and threw him to the ground over her back.Caleb’s hand was injured, but it didn’t affect his actions at all. As he worked with Ember and his bodyguards, they managed to defeat them quickly.“I remember your face for interfering with this. You won’t be so lucky next time!”The men in black even barked out a threat before leaving.Ember let out a laugh as she

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.

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
