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
Chapter One Hundred TwelveJethro tilted his head, eyes still fixed on the big picture in front of him. "Really? I've obviously called you, but you must have been so focused on this picture that you didn't notice."“You think it's beautiful, every time I'm sad, I come here to look at her. Just looking at it makes me feel a lot more comfortable.” Jethro glanced at Gemma's reaction.“Sometimes I can't help but use this picture to comfort myself. Her charm drives me crazy.”Gemma was surprised to hear this man say, she didn't dare to believe that someone who was always cold and arrogant like Jethro had to use her image to comfort himself? He also spoke casually without being embarrassed in front of her.So he hasn't had another woman all this time?“Why do you look so surprised? Is it unusual for a husband to masturbate with his wife's image?" Jethro smiled mischievously, his eyes always watching Gemma's amused expression.Gemma turned pale when he heard that, he said that was admitting
Chapter One Hundred and Thirteen "Sir, everything has been arranged satisfactorily," Z reported respectfully. Jethro continued to gaze coldly in the direction of Gemma as Clement led her back to the bedroom. He knew that his plan had succeeded, but the results were not as effective as he had hoped. "What about Harvey?" Jethro asked coldly. "As you predicted, Harvey Susan had people searching for Ms. Gemma all night, and the search area has expanded significantly in just one night. I believe they will quickly find their way here, and for now, Ms. Gemma is still going by the name 'Emma,' the wife of Harvey Susan," Z replied, deliberately bringing up this matter as a cautious reminder to his master. Jethro glanced at Z, well aware of this fact, as it was also part of his plan. Harvey wouldn't just sit idly by and let him do whatever he pleased. Directly confronting him would only put him at a disadvantage. "Continue with the next step of the plan. Let him keep searching; it won't ma
Chapter One Hundred and FourteenGemma and Clement lay asleep in the room, while outside, Alex had set up hidden cameras to monitor every corner of this villa, which was previously unused and had few belongings, with no household staff either.Alex never imagined that one day Gemma, Jethro's wife, would return. At first, Alex was astonished because when he was abroad on a mission, he only heard from subordinates that Ms. Gemma had committed suicide.That incident had a profound impact on the master's psyche. Jethro had many enemies, and if they knew about his emotional struggle due to his wife's death, it would be dangerous. They might exploit it to create a new 'Gemma Roberts.'In this story, there were many ambiguities that couldn't be put into words. Alex looked at the owner's expressions and knew that the woman in the bedroom was indeed Gemma.Yet, Alex couldn't understand why Gemma refused to acknowledge herself and return to her husband once again.Since Jethro married Gemma, Al
Chapter One Hundred and FifteenGemma looked at Clement with affection and concern as she hurriedly approached his side to examine the bruise on her son's arm. The bruise was quite large, obviously the result of a strong impact that had caused Clement considerable pain."Mommy... it hurts so much," Clement said, his teary eyes welling up. He gritted his teeth as if enduring terrible pain.Gemma felt a pang of pain when Clement called her "mom." Her current status was not suitable for him to address her in such a way, but she couldn't bring herself to stop him. Gemma turned her gaze to the maid and said, "Could you please get me some medicine to apply on the little one's bruise? Thank you."With a cold expression, the maid nodded slightly and left, returning shortly with a first aid box in hand. Gemma deftly applied the pain-relief ointment on Clement's bruise, and every action was gentle and tender, even a slight frown from Clement made her anxious."Now, it's all right. Perhaps you'r
Chapter One Hundred and SixteenWith less than half an hour before landing, Jethro sighed, feeling wretched and pitiful. He knew the price he had to pay for the things he had done that hurt and pained Gemma.It would be selfish to hope for Gemma's forgiveness. Jethro felt like a beggar of the past, gnawing at memories that had long passed. He craved the simplicity and love Gemma had offered, the things he once held in his hands but deliberately let go of.Gemma wouldn't easily forgive him as she had done in the past, and he understood that, but he couldn't comprehend why he kept yearning."Why does she have to pretend not to remember anything about me? Clearly, she has remembered everything..." Jethro said.His subordinates by his side listened but remained silent. Jethro fell into contemplation; he had been in this state for a while now, asking himself questions he couldn't answer. Sometimes he would ask his subordinates and those below him, but no one could help him with those quest
Chapter One Hundred Seventeen "The organization's structure is truly impressive; otherwise, it would have collapsed years ago. But how many people are at the top remains just our speculation," Louis praised openly. BIK operates so boldly, yet its leadership remains shrouded in mystery, which intrigues him. "What we can do is send more people to infiltrate and avoid making any hasty moves. We must not disturb the hornet's nest. What do you all think?" Jethro suggested, knowing that BIK was gaining strength, and a direct confrontation might be disadvantageous at the moment. However, they still lacked a deep understanding of the organization. Harvey chuckled sarcastically upon hearing Jethro's words, "Your approach seems quite different from your usual style, Jethro. Since when did you choose the cautious path?" Jethro sensed the mocking tone in Harvey's remark but chose not to pay attention to it. After all, even though they were sitting at the same table, they held entirely differen
Chapter One Hundred EighteenHarvey smirked mockingly and sneered; he found it quite amusing. This woman really had a big ego, perhaps she had been pampered so much that she didn't know her place."True, if you hadn't reminded me, I might have forgotten that we once had a wedding ceremony. But, as you know, this marriage was never my intention. Don't delude yourself any further," he said.Before being forced into marrying Quinn, a wealthy family head had told Harvey that she was a highly skilled woman, adept at handling social situations, and knew how to please others, which was why she made it onto the list of heirs to the Reed family. However, now Harvey thought that the family head should reconsider the words he had spoken. Harvey found this woman to be nothing but a nuisance and trouble, and he couldn't see any positive qualities in her.Compared to his beloved Emma, Quinn was like a tiny ant underfoot.[What do you mean by that? Are you now trying to cancel the marriage? I won't
