Ember knew Caleb had ulterior motives; he was actually waiting here for her.However, she had to discuss the collaboration with him. So, she took a deep breath and entered the meeting room where Caleb was waiting."It's really hard to get you here, huh? It took a few calls before you were willing to come.""Since it's about the collaboration, it would be the same regardless of who you spoke to. Ms. Donelle spends more time at the school than I do, so she understands how things work here better me."Caleb chuckled. "I've told you, haven't I? If Lane Group and Saint Lucia collaborate, you'll need to be fully involved. We've signed the contract."Ember pushed down her irritation. She didn't expect Caleb to be waiting for her here.However, there was nothing she could do but discuss the collaboration with him."I haven't properly seen Saint Lucia. Come with me for a tour, will you?" Caleb said as he stood up.Ember pursed her lips. She glanced at Donelle and signaled her to follow.

On one side, the accusations were flying high.On the other, Caleb received a message and rushed over. As soon as he arrived, he saw Ember dressed in thin clothing and surrounded by the deceased little girl's angry family members.Ember remained silent in the face of everyone's accusation. She pursed her lips and stood rooted in place.Lugh stood in front of her, shielding her. Like her, they both silently endured the family's anger.Feeling a twinge in his heart, Caleb walked up quickly and said, "You came all the way here to cause a scene. It's just for money, isn't it? Speak up. How much do you want?""How dare you?! My daughter is dead, and you want to insult me?" The girl's father stared at Caleb with wide eyes, his emotions becoming increasingly unstable as time passed.Caleb dismissed the man's words and said, "Stop talking nonsense. It's all about money, isn't it?"He wanted to settle it with money, but the girl's father was uncontrollable. "Get lost! Can your mone

At this moment, Samuel arrived at the hospital with a group of people."Incompetent doctor! Get out here!" He shouted loudly downstairs, attracting a crowd of onlookers."Everyone, help me get justice! My daughter was perfectly fine when she was brought to the hospital. After the surgery, she died. Isn't this a medical accident?!"We ordinary people can't deal with them, and the hospital is helping them. Was my daughter's death in vain?!"Samuel's emotions were intense. He rallied the crowd and unfurled banners, insisting on seeing Ember.The commotion at the entrance was loud, and Lugh looked through the window with furrowed brows.Having heard the commotion, Ember was about to go downstairs when Lugh stopped her."He clearly has malicious intentions with how he's causing trouble here. Going down now will only fuel their arrogance. Ember.""Avoiding it isn't a solution either. It'll make us look guilty." Ember shook her head, a determined expression on her calm face."No need

Ember casually glanced at the unfamiliar incoming call when the phone rang. She remembered this was another number Caleb used after she had blocked him, so she had no intention of answering.Lately, she had been bothered a lot and had no interest in discussing the collaboration with Caleb. Hearing her phone continuously ring, Lugh found it strange and asked, "Ember, why aren't you answering?""It's Caleb," Ember replied nonchalantly.As soon as she said that, the ringing stopped.However, the phone rang again shortly after. Noticing Ember's calm demeanor, Lugh suggested, "Ignoring the call isn't a solution. How about I answer and see what he wants?"Ember shrugged indifferently. "Sure, go ahead."As soon as the call connected, Caleb's voice came through, "Em, the public opinion can't be suppressed for the time being. Don't worry; I'll figure something out.""You're suppressing the comments?" Lugh narrowed his eyes, somewhat surprised.Upon hearing Lugh's voice, there was

Caleb opened his mouth to say something, but he suddenly felt powerless in the face of Ember's caution and composure.Avery peeked out from behind and made a funny face. "I don't believe you. Stay away from Mommy and me. Don't think about bullying Mommy!"Avery's words, accompanied by a wrinkled nose, deeply pierced Caleb's heart. Looking at the determined eyes of the mother and son, he had no choice but to give up.He handed the nutritional supplements he brought to Ember without hesitation. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't want to see me, I'll leave. Take the things."After he finished speaking, he turned around and left quickly as if afraid of Ember's rejection.Seeing Caleb's somewhat lonely figure, emotions stirred in Ember's heart. It left a slightly bitter taste in her mouth."Mommy! Mommy!" Avery called several times before Ember snapped out of it. She turned around, burying herself in Avery's shoulder. Her eyes were a b
