Chapter 104Clement disregarded whatever his father said; all he wanted was his mother. Having witnessed the terrible treatment his father had given to his mother in the past, he despised his father and didn't want his mother to return to live with the man who had hurt her.But Clement overestimated his own patience and underestimated the pain in his heart. He believed that as long as his mother was happy, he wouldn't feel sad even if he couldn't be with her. However, it was completely the opposite. Every time he thought about his mother forgetting about him, forgetting that she has a son named Clement, tears welled up in his eyes.To conceal his own weakness, Clement hid under the covers every night in bed so that no one could detect him."Then, Dad, do a little bit, let's find a way to get my Mom back?" Clement exclaimed in frustration.Jethro had grown accustomed to his son's agitated and impolite attitude. At least Clement's demeanor reminded Jethro of Gemma, his wife."You don't
Chapter 105"Clement has escaped? What did you all do that allowed him to escape?" Jethro rubbed his temples, his voice filled with frustration.Recent events had already given him a headache, and now his son managed to escape despite the numerous guards and maids in the mansion.The butler trembled, clasping her hands tightly together. In this situation, she was held responsible for it. The maid had fulfilled her duty by bringing the food."I'm sorry, we truly have no idea about this. I have searched every corner of his room, but I couldn't find anything suspicious."Jethro frowned. Who could have infiltrated his mansion to capture Clement? How could a child like Clement, despite his strength, jump from the second floor and land safely?"Fine, your apology won't solve anything. Just do your job, and I'll send someone to find Clement."As Jethro glanced at the tired expression of the housekeeper, he felt even more worried. He knew that recently, Jethro had been unable to sleep, and no
Chapter 106 In this urgent situation, Gemma was too distraught to ask for anyone's help. She was trembling to the point where it was difficult to steer the wheel, luckily there was no one on the road at that moment. Only the flickering streetlights illuminated the road, creating an eerie and gloomy scene. It was even more terrifying than the horror movies she had watched. "Clement, wait for mommy!" Gemma focused on the road ahead and accelerated quickly, not caring if an accident could occur. Her son was in danger, and if she were just a second too late, everything would be completely different. Suddenly, her phone rang, and Harvey was calling. His bodyguard had noticed something unusual about Gemma and reported it to Harvey. "Harvey? What's going on? I don't have time to talk to you right now." Gemma hurriedly spoke and immediately hung up the phone. Harvey was still unable to say anything when Gemma ended the call. He was worried and disappointed by her attitude. He quickly ch
Chapter 107 The woman collapsed on the cold floor, and the man breathed out gently. Taking advantage of her distraction, he sneaked in, unfortunately getting caught in a fishing net that tangled around his legs, causing him to stumble and make a loud noise. Luckily, Gemma couldn't escape his control. "It's a success," he called someone on the phone and informed them. He took out a large bag that had been prepared in advance and skillfully extracted Gemma's entire body. In less than five minutes, her whole body was neatly tucked inside the large bag, which the man then hoisted onto his shoulders. The man's actions were so adept that throughout the whole process, his face remained incredibly calm and composed, showing no sign of fear or confusion that someone engaged in wrongdoing would have. Gemma was drugged and fell into a deep sleep, as the man stuffed her into the trunk of the car and drove away. Just moments after his departure, Harvey's subordinates arrived, but they were too
Chapter 108 Gemma woke up with a sharp intake of breath, realizing that the reality was not the nightmare she had just breathed out gently. Before she could fully comprehend that nightmare, a hand reached out to her. Startled, Gemma quickly backed away, her vision still blurred and unclear. "AAA... Who?" Gemma shouted loudly. The sudden scream surprised the man too, but he quickly changed his expression afterward. He smiled gently and tenderly at Gemma, his eyes full of affection and longing for her. "What's wrong, my dear? Why are you startled..." Jethro spoke, his voice warm and hoarse, very comforting to hear. Hearing this familiar voice, Gemma wasn't pleased at all, and her already pale face turned even paler with panic. She still thought she was dreaming, still not fully escaping from the nightmare. Gemma raised her hand and slapped herself hard, causing Jethro to furrow his brows and be surprised. "It hurts... It's not a dream... It can't be, it must be a dream..." Gemma m
Chapter 109 Originally, the strength of women could not equal that of men, and Gemma was previously drugged and physically weak. Just now, when she pushed him away, she felt like she had to climb several flights of stairs. Quickly, Jethro used only one hand to lock Gemma's two hands up high. In just a moment, Gemma was face to face with this man whom she hated. "Are you crazy! Let me go! Let me go, what are you trying to do?" Gemma shouted, but her heart was pounding fast with fear and panic. Even before she regained her memory, every time Gemma faced Jethro, she felt suffocated and afraid. It was definitely because she had been too terrified of him before, and that feeling had never disappeared. Jethro looked at Gemma's panicked and frightened appearance but still tried to appear angry to conceal his own fear. But compared to before, he only felt a pain in his heart when he saw her scared every time she saw him or was close to him. Was she really afraid of him to this extent? J
Chapter One Hundred Ten "I have eyes and ears all over this country, which is why I am confident that I will find Clement quickly. You don't need to worry," Jethro said calmly and nonchalantly. Seeing Gemma remain silent and not continue the conversation, he sighed softly and said, "Once the boy returns, you can talk to him. Clement definitely needs someone who can comfort him. The relationship between me and the boy is not great... so I would like to ask if you can stay until he returns?" Gemma was surprised by this unexpected request and didn't know how to respond. She didn't know the man's intentions, and there was a seed of doubt in his heart about her identity. If she stayed longer with him, Gemma was sure she would be easily exposed. She also felt that Jethro might actually be crazy, as he had tried to approach her several times as a substitute for 'Gemma Robert.' "Why? Aren't you happy?" Jethro asked again. But without her son, she couldn't be at ease. Otherwise, she wouldn
Chapter 111 Gemma sat quietly alone on the sofa, appearing as though she was lost in thought, trying to avoid talking to Jethro. But Jethro was not one to feel ashamed, and he sat down next to her. "Do you want something to eat?" Gemma reluctantly forced a smile and tried to move away from him, but he just shifted closer until she couldn't move any further. "Mr. Thompson, could you please sit a little further away from me? I can't be comfortable like this," Gemma sighed, not realizing that Jethro was truly so shameless. Jethro innocently nodded and said, "Oh, really?" But he showed no intention of moving from his seat. This atmosphere made Gemma feel confused and anxious, more so than just now, whenever she faced Jethro, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, trembling with discomfort. If he refused to leave, she would be the one to move to another seat. Gemma stood up and walked over to the nearby chair, her expression clearly showing her unhappiness. "Alright, Mr. Thompson
