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
Ms. Ember, since you don’t know what’s good for you, I suppose we’ll have to take matters into our own hands.”The leader chuckled as his men immediately surrounded them.They thought that Ember was alone with Caleb. It would be easy to deal with them.However, Caleb simply sneered as he clapped. His security team that was in the car immediately came down, and the men were shocked.“Just you alone aren’t nearly enough. So? Are we still doing this?” Ember’s tone was icy.As she said that, the bodyguards behind her stepped forward, intimidating them.The men exchanged glances with each other and looked at those bodyguards. Then, they calmed down.“We don’t know the result of this yet. Principal Ember. Don’t think that a few bodyguards can protect you!”With that, the leader took out a small knife from his pocket and rushed over. “Die!”The knife was aimed right at Ember. Caleb quickly pulled her into his arms, and his injured hand once again grabbed the knife. He kicked the man
However, the doctor mumbled to herself. “Dr. Ember is married? I thought that she was together with Dr. Lugh.”What she said almost made Caleb go mad, but her next words calmed him down. “Alright. I’ll make it sound more serious and give you some more medicine. It’ll help with your recovery anyway.”Ember came in right after her phone call ended. Before she could even ask, Caleb said with a frown and said, “Em, the doctor said that I’m injured quite seriously, and I might need to get admitted for observation.”Admission? “Only your hand is injured, so why do you need to get admitted?” Ember raised an eyebrow and gave the doctor an inquisitive glance.The doctor felt helpless. She had promised to tell her about his injury being slightly more serious, but she never promised him to be able to get admitted into the hospital!“Well, the injury is too deep, right? And other than the infection, there are also other complications,” Caleb said earnestly, trying his best to make it sound
