When Ember saw the flyers, she was stunned. Did that little rascal sneak out and cause trouble here?“And this one.”Caleb found the security footage, with a playful glint in his eyes.After watching the footage, Ember was feeling embarrassed. “Well... Um... He’s just a child. He’s still too young.”“Still too young is a good enough excuse for everything?” Caleb said forcefully as his handsome face got closer to Ember. Ember was choked and took a step back subconsciously only to hear Caleb say, “Yes, it can be because he’s too young and didn’t know better. But on the flip side, I can say that he’s trying to slander me.”Caleb was going to use this to his advantage.Ember’s eyes went cold as she stared at Caleb.Caleb waited for a moment before sitting down and crossing his legs as he drank a cup of coffee. “Why don’t you have a seat?”“What do you want?” Ember stood there.“I don’t want us to get a divorce,” Caleb said the words out loud.“That’s impossible.” Ember didn’t e
The contract was prepared long ago.Since Caleb contacted Ember, he had already planned how to proceed. Ember reluctantly signed the contract.After the signing, Caleb wasted no time. He immediately called Allen to bring Avery over.In fact, Avery had already returned, but he had been waiting at the door. Allen didn't let him in, but the boy had overheard their conversation.Upon entering, Avery glared fiercely at Caleb as if he wanted to rush forward and attack him.Not wanting to stay any longer with Caleb, Ember pulled Avery by his ear and moved to leave as she scolded him.Watching the mother and son leave, Caleb smiled knowingly and reminded, "Don't forget about our collaboration. I'll personally be dropping by."Ember paused, her expression becoming even more unpleasant. Without saying anything else, she walked away with Avery.After going downstairs and returning to the car, Avery lowered his head and apologized."Mommy, I'm sorry. I was wrong..."Ember gathered hersel
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.
Caleb was upset. Lugh's presence would only disturb them, and he didn't want that.He arched a dashing brow and looked at Ember. "I said I would only talk to you."Saint Lucia Convent was Robin's passion and hard work, and Ember greatly cared about it. The shareholders were also watching closely. If this collaboration failed, who knew what trouble might arise?Although working with Caleb was a threat, the project with Lane Group was a perfect fit for the school.Lugh saw her hesitation and smiled softly."Ember, there's a tricky patient at the hospital. We need you to take a look.""Why didn't you say so earlier?"When it came to patients, Ember immediately became serious. There was a sense of responsibility on her small face."Mr. Lane, a patient's life can't wait. Let's discuss the collaboration later."After saying that, Ember followed Lugh into the car.Sitting in the back seat, Ember urgently asked, "What's the situation with the patient? Tell me."Lugh hummed in resp
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
"Alright, I'll do as you say." Penelope and Samuel reached an agreement and immediately left the scene.She arranged for professional troublemakers to assist Samuel in causing a scene.On her phone, there was a video. In the video, Ember had her head lowered and was drinking a pack of grape glucose syrup.It was a small matter, but it could become an explosive topic in the hands of someone with ill intentions.She smirked slightly and dialed the paparazzo's number. "I've got some wonderful material for you."The paparazzo frowned, "What kind of material?""A returned overseas doctor from Haverhill Hospital caused someone's death and happily got herself a drink afterward. Where do you think she got the money for that drink?"The paparazzo initially wanted to dismiss it. But upon hearing her explanation, he suddenly understood and purchased the video.Then, the video was released. At first, it didn't cause much of a stir. But later, with the emotional posts from marketing
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
Seizing the opportunity, the reporters crowded into the lobby."Dr. Ember, can you confirm that your surgery was truly done according to the standard procedures?""Dr. Ember, we heard that you were on leave that day. Why did you return to perform this surgery?""You just returned from outside that day. Was there a possibility that you made a mistake due to fatigue?"-The reporters were relentless, trying to find loopholes from various angles.Lugh felt uneasy hearing this and positioned himself in front of Ember. "If you continue to press aggressively, we will have to take legal measures!""Dr. Ember, please answer our questions!"Ignoring Lugh completely, the reporters sidestepped him. They thrust the microphone towards Ember and held their large cameras in her face, waiting for her response."Where's the security team? Get them out of here!"The situation was chaotic, and it took considerable effort for the security guards to push through the crowd.Ember frowned. The r
