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
Penelope rushed straight to the ward and looked at Caleb, heartbroken. Her eyes were glued to his hand.Ember sneered. Penelope had quite the information network, to be able to reach them so quickly.She stared at Penelope as if she could see through her. With a faint smile, she said, “Ms. Penelope, despite your love for Mr. Caleb, please be reminded that we’re still married. This is still a family matter. You can take care of him, but you have no right to blame anything on me.”Family matters?The two words immediately left Penelope feeling choked.Ember adjusted her sunglasses as if she was Caleb’s wife. While her words sounded ridiculous, that was the truth.Penelope’s face turned pale as she bit her lips, looking at Caleb pitifully. However, he simply ignored her.Ember looked at how speechless Penelope was, and she chuckled. “My deepest sympathies, Ms. Penelope. You’ve followed Mr. Caleb around without any standing during the four years that I was abroad. Don’t worry, we’ll
When Caleb couldn’t find Ember at the hospital, he drove directly toward Saint Lucia Convent.However, when he reached the gate, he was stopped by the security guards.Due to what had happened earlier, Ember had increased security for the children’s safety. No one could simply walk into the girls’ school.“I’m here to see Ember,” Caleb said coolly.“Then please give call Ms. Ember first. Without her permission, we can’t let you in.” The security guard said honestly.He suppressed the anger in his heart and called Ember.“Tell security to let me through.”“Mr. Lane, have you received the divorce papers? If you’re not here with the copy, I don’t think we need to meet each other again,” Ember’s tone was relaxed with a hint of indifference.Caleb wanted to say something else, but she had already hung up. His hand balled into a fist, and he punched the guard house’s wall.The security guards looked at him in alert with their tonfa in hand, preparing to move at a moment’s notice.E
Left with no choice, Ember was prepared to call security.At this time, she saw Lugh was coming in.With a wide grin on his face, he greeted the nurse but completely ignored Caleb. He looked at Ember and said, “I remembered that you’ll miss meals when you get busy, so I’m here to remind you. You’re done with the patients?”As soon as Caleb saw Lugh, his expression turned ugly.It was this man again! The godfather of his son!And he was having such a good time with Ember!And Ember, who was treating him so coldly just now, visibly became relaxed after she saw Lugh.“I’m done. Have a seat,” Ember waved at him and moved a chair for him.“I remember you like pork chops? Their cafeteria is out of them. Should I make some for you tonight when we get home?” Lugh said as he raised his eyebrow.Caleb was so angry that he chuckled and gave Lugh another glare. But he couldn’t take it anymore, so he left.At this time, Lugh waved the phone in his hand. “If you encounter something like th
