"I'm not going!" Ember was worried that Caleb would have a card up his sleeve, so she firmly refused him.No matter what Caleb said, she just refused him. Despite being married for so many years, she didn't know Caleb's friends at all. It was only natural that she didn't want to attend the party.In the end, Caleb failed to dissuade Ember and had no choice but to let her go home.Helpless, Caleb called Nick and complained, "I've said all the nice things, but Em refused to attend the party with me. Can you think of a way?""Haha! Isn't this your own choice?" Nick couldn't help but scoff at Caleb's helpless tone."I didn't call you so that you could laugh at me! Hurry up and give me some ideas!"Caleb didn't expect that his friend would scoff at him immediately."She is your woman, not mine. What else can I do?"Nick couldn't do anything about Ember as she was different from ordinary women.Caleb called Nick for some ideas at first, but he couldn't do anything about the situatio

Penelope suddenly raised her wine glass and said those words before downing the wine in one gulp."Em can't drink, so I'll drink on her behalf."Caleb didn't know what Penelope was up to, so he voluntarily came forward to drink the wine for Ember.All eyes were on Caleb as she drank up the wine in the glass."Shouldn't you guys call Ms. Sanders 'Mrs. Lane' during your first meeting?"After Penelope finished toasting Ember, she started a ruckus instead of sitting down.One of Caleb's wealthy friends couldn't stand it anymore, so he just spoke his mind. "Tch! Didn't she rely on her son to get her position? How can she be worthy of being Mrs. Lane? "His thought was exactly the same as the people around him."I am not worthy, you say? Are you implying that Ms. Ferguson deserves the title?" Ember smiled lightly as she shot an emotionless glance at the man.The scion spoke his mind without any restraint."Yeah, she is rich, talented and beautiful, unlike you, a woman who relied on

Seeing Ember having so much fun, Penelope got angrier, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she couldn't even beat Caleb's friends at cards and archery.Penelope glared in Ember's direction. She looked like she was about to rush over and tear Ember to pieces in the next second.Suddenly, Penelope saw several horses.She abruptly stood up and said to them, "It's boring to play cards, so why don't we have some fun and go horse riding?"Everyone looked in the direction Penelope pointed and saw a group of horses grazing on the field."Horse riding? Sounds like a good idea. Let's do it." Others agreed that horse riding was much more exciting than playing cards."It's too dangerous to ride a horse." Caleb directly refused the offer as he thought that Ember had never ridden a horse before."I can give it a try."With that, Ember walked straight in the direction of the horses.A few friends followed Ember.Horse riding was much more difficult than playing cards and

"This has nothing to do with me. I didn't administer the drug."Penelope began to feel anxious. If they had found out the truth, she would be too embarrassed to stay in the venue."Is that so?" Caleb looked at Penelope.Overwhelmed by guilt, Penelope dared not look him in the eye."I dispatched my assistant to ask the stable manager just now, and he said that you personally gave him the drug. How do you explain that?"Caleb didn't intend to show any more mercy to Penelope as she had decisively committed the misdeed without thinking of a way out.As soon as Penelope heard those words, she felt dizzy. Never did she expect that this person had betrayed her."That's not true!"Penelope's tears fell continuously like broken beads."Drop the act already," Ember shot out rudely. "It's pointless to keep up the act when the investigation has been completed."The crowd was a little taken aback at the sight of this situation. The stand-off here might be worse than one taking place on th

"What's the situation now? Have you called the police?" Caleb walked up to Ember and asked her about the situation."I've called the police and they have started the investigation. I..."As Ember spoke, her eyes were red-rimmed, but she was stubborn enough not to shed tears.Avery was everything to her, so she couldn't lose him."I'm here. Avery will be fine." Caleb took Ember into his arms without caring about anything else.On the other side, darkness overwhelmed Avery's body as he kept struggling.A rough voice rang in Avery's ears. "Kiddo, stop moving around and wait for your parents to pay the ransom in exchange for you."Avery quickly calmed down, knowing that he had been kidnapped."I'm scared! It's so dark here!" Avery deliberately bawled, trying to attract the attention of the surrounding people.However, this was an abandoned factory with no one else around him except the kidnappers."Mister, can you open the door? I'm afraid of the dark." Avery pleaded with the kid
