Semua Bab Vengeance Against That Scum: Bab 61 - Bab 70

An unspoken pact was formed between the two.Given that Dr. N had agreed to her request, Penelope finally grinned and asked eagerly, "What's your plan?"Dr. N gave a nod. He rummaged through several bottles and jars behind him until he came across a small, unassuming bottle.He presented the bottle to Penelope and said, "Use this."Examining the bottle curiously, Penelope questioned, "What's inside?"With a cryptic grin, Dr. N replied, "Something special. It contains mild traces of a toxin that causes discomfort but not immediate death. Prolonged use will lead to loss of appetite, lethargy, and other symptoms. It'll be easy to pin the blame on Ember."Holding the bottle, Penelope felt a mix of trepidation, almost as if she were holding a bomb."Isn't this going too far?" she wondered, thinking about Eva. "This plot will affect Grandma."Dr. N narrowed his eyes, slightly irritated."This is the only way to thoroughly deal with her. Do you want to put up with her any longer?"P

The caregiver was overwhelmed with fear. She had collapsed to the ground, shaking uncontrollably, yet she chose to remain silent.Ember inhaled deeply and suggested, "If she won't admit to anything, let's send the bottle for forensic analysis. The fingerprints on it should provide some clues. Once we get the results, we can take the case to the police.""Alright. I'll arrange for someone to handle this immediately."The intense interrogation brought the caregiver to tears.During a brief gap in their grilling, the caregiver suddenly gathered her courage.In a desperate move, she grabbed the medicine and swallowed all the pills, her face turning red as she struggled to swallow them.Realizing the gravity of the situation and that they could not allow the caregiver to die like this, Caleb and Ember sprang into action.Caleb patted her back vigorously, causing her to cough up the pills, while Ember applied pressure to her chest and abdomen.Eventually, they saved the caregiver's l

Dr. N looked up at Ember and sneered, "What does it matter? If you're familiar with Dr. Renold, then you should be aware of his esteemed status in the medical community."Ember responded with a sardonic smile, her gaze laced with sarcasm."You recognize Dr. Renold's significant role in our field, yet you seem oblivious to the controversy where he was outed as a charlatan a few years ago. How can you still reference his research? This was common knowledge among attendees of the International Conference."Realizing that others in the room were puzzled, Ember elaborated, "Dr. Renold was unmasked as a plagiarist who fabricated data and made numerous false claims. "Even though the international forum knew about his misconduct years ago, they kept it a secret to protect their reputation. Yet, this is well known among those who participated in that conference."You portray yourself as a distinguished figure who has frequented such conferences, so how is it you're unaware of this and sti

Avery excitedly rushed toward Caleb, who lifted him into the air, spinning him around like a classic father-son duo.The laughter of the boy echoed in the air as Caleb finally put him down.Watching this tender moment between father and son, Ember felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness in her heart.Noticing Ember's unusual demeanor, Caleb asked with a concerned frown, "Where are you headed? Is it a business trip?"Not wanting to hide anything, she sighed and shared, "There are some students from the school who've gone missing. I just got word that they've been located in Millerville. I'm planning to go there to assess the situation and hopefully bring them back."Caleb's brow creased with worry, and he probed, "Are you intending to go there by yourself?""I've already contacted the local police there."Before Ember could finish, Caleb interrupted her, his tone laced with worry, "You're being too careless about your safety. What would Avery and I do if something happened to you

Caleb and Ember had just reached the edge of a small village when Ember suddenly cried out, "Hold on! There's something odd by the roadside."Caleb immediately braked, bringing the car to a halt."What is it? What did you spot?" he asked.Ember pointed at the spot on the roadside they had just passed by, frowned, and said, "Right there! Do you see a pair of red shoes?"Caleb squinted and peered intently. He felt a sudden sense of unease and said, "Indeed, they're there. They don’t appear to be abandoned. Someone might be wearing them."As Ember was about to step out for a closer inspection, Caleb quickly held her back and said, "Wait! Stay in the car, I'll check it out. I'll call you if it's safe."He left the car, a stun gun in hand, and cautiously approached the bushes.The area was deathly quiet. When he parted the bushes, he discovered a young girl who was pale and was lying there motionless.Caleb gently prodded her to confirm that it was safe before signaling to Ember, wh
