Semua Bab Vengeance Against That Scum: Bab 121 - Bab 130

"Caleb!"She had arrived as a representative of the Ferguson Corp to conduct business with Caleb."What are you doing here?" When Caleb saw Penelope, he felt irritated."Is Ms. Sanders also here?" What a wonderful coincidence!" Penelope was brimming with confidence now that she had the full-fledged support of her family."Ms. Sanders, I'm here on behalf of the Ferguson Corp. I might even become a regular guest here. You won't mind, will you?" Penelope smiled at Ember, secretly pleased by how things were unfolding."Your business has nothing to do with me." Ember was reluctant to speak more now that Penelope was here."Go on, you two. Mr. Lane, I'll go back first. The money will be in your account soon."Ember grabbed her handbag and got ready to leave after saying that."Ember, just hear me out."Caleb realized Ember had misunderstood him, so he grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving."This collaboration is just for the benefit of the company. Believe me, I don't have feeli

The word had traveled throughout the company at this point."Have you heard? Mr. Lane's new secretary is his wife.""Huh? She might be pretty, but I think she's useless too."Caleb had previously hired two secretaries and an assistant. The secretaries began to gossip about Ember, their newest colleague.Ember sought out the secretaries with a statement in hand.The secretaries assumed Ember intended to cause trouble based on her poker face."What's wrong?" one of the secretaries approached Ember and inquired."Nothing. Mr. Lane requested for this statement to be filled out earlier. I've completed it for you guys. Just look through it before passing it to him later."Ember did the secretaries a favor just because it was convenient for her to do so."Okay, thanks!" The two secretaries thanked her quickly."She seems pretty decent, right?""Yup. I think she should be quite capable as well. Otherwise, how could Mr. Lane possibly favor her?"Their opinion of Ember had shifted dr

Since Penelope had already drank, Caleb was too prideful to reject her offer. Hence, he downed his glass of wine too."Again." The wine glass in Caleb's hand was refilled.When the sound of clinking glasses resounded again, Caleb looked up and saw that Penelope had already consumed all of the wine in her glass, so he had little choice but to drink it quickly.Dizziness soon attacked him in waves. Caleb wasn't sure if it was the excessive wine he had just consumed, but he suddenly had an urge to keel over and doze off on the spot.He was aware that this was a bar, so he could only keep reminding himself to keep his wits and rationality about."Speak up. If not, I'm going to leave right now." Caleb was prepared to stand up and leave.Penelope rushed toward Caleb at that moment and pulled him into a sitting position.Her lips curled into a sly smirk now that she was abnormally close to him."Caleb, I like you so much. Why won't you like me at all?" Penelope saddled up to Caleb,

"Caleb, what about me?" Penelope sprang up again, this time grabbing his arm."Let go of me!" Caleb gave her a chilly stare devoid of emotion.Caleb's stern glare terrified Penelope, so she could only gently loosen her grip."Let me repeat myself one more time. Do not tell anyone what happened last night!" Caleb was still unsettled."Yes, I know." Penelope rubbed her face pitifully while looking up at Caleb.Caleb left hurriedly, seeing as he no longer wished to be around Penelope.When the door closed, Penelope's expression shifted back to irritation.She plopped onto the bed while examining the amazing photos taken the night before on her phone. Then, she laughed loudly.Caleb, on the other hand, took the elevator to the lobby, where the reception counter was at."I've lost something very important, please check last night's surveillance!" Caleb walked over to the front desk and demanded. He wanted to see what happened last night through the surveillance cameras.His sudden

Avery seemed to have noticed something at this point. He turned his head to meet Caleb's eyes and then swiftly averted his gaze. Although Avery had a displeased expression written all over his face, he looked quite cute.Avery was murmuring at the time. His face was so chubby that anyone couldn't help but pinch it.''What are you doing here? Mommy will be back later. She'll be mad if she sees you, so hurry up and leave!" he stated angrily.Ember had been in a bad mood for the past two days due to the incident, and Avery didn't want his father to add to his mother's worries.Caleb didn't take Avery’s repulsion seriously.Caleb became rather worried upon seeing his amused and irritated countenance. He decided to sit on the bed and say, in a fairly humiliating tone, "Avery, I came here this time because I want you to help me explain to your mommy that things aren't as she thinks.""Those photos are so realistic. Are you going to say they're photoshopped too?" Avery remarked righteou
