Chapter Seventy-Six A loud noise caught the attention of those nearby, not because they were nosy but because it was the son of Jethro - Clement. "What's going on? Isn't that your son, Mr. Jethro?" A curious woman looked in Clement's direction. The people around Jethro also looked surprised at the boy's disruptive behavior. Jethro followed their pointing gaze, but the first thing he saw was not Clement. It was the woman who had her back turned to him. At first glance, her figure resembled Gemma, so he was slightly shocked but quickly regained his serious and cold demeanor. Clement was not a mischievous child, he did not understand why his son was making such a scene at a big party like this. "What are you doing, Clement?" Jethro walked over with a calm voice, not showing any sign of reproach or annoyance. Clement heard his father's voice and only then did he calm down, realizing that many people were watching him. "Sorry..." Clement apologized to Emma but still refused to let g
Chapter Seventy-Seven "What's up?" Jethro asked. Z stood next to him, placing down documents related to Emma Greene. "Emma Greene comes from an orphanage, she had a talent for music from a young age and was once a piano artist. However, she had an accident that damaged her nerves, and couldn't perform in concerts anymore," Z said. Jethro raised an eyebrow at this information. "Emma Greene knows Harvey because they met at a party before she had her accident. If we talk about appearances, she really looks like Madam Gemma," Z said, surprised that two people could look like twins. No, even twins can't look that alike. "Did she have any plastic surgery?" Jethro asked, wanting to know who Emma really was. Z shook his head, "I couldn't find any information about this. Madam Gemma doesn't have any twin sisters." Jethro looked at the documents with a mix of disappointment and hope in his heart. "So… keep investigating Harvey and Emma. I want to know what Harvey is up to," Jethro said
Chapter Seventy-EightJethro suddenly thought of Clement, perhaps he would be a reasonable reason for Emma to show up."Call Clement here," Jethro commanded the butler.Clement quickly arrived in the living room, and only that evening did Clement talk to Jethro in the most normal way, then his cold attitude made Jethro have to humble himself."Do you remember the woman at the auction?" Jethro asked.Clement nodded naturally but did not speak, the image of his mother clearly appearing in his head. However much he hoped, he was disappointed, that woman was not his mother, her name was Emma, not Gemma."Do you want to meet that woman again?" Jethro said, expressing his expectation.But Clement quickly cut off, "I don't want to meet her.""Why?" Jethro was surprised, didn't he cry a lot after that auction?"Even if that woman was really my mother, I don't want to meet her. Dad wants to use me as a reason to meet her, if she's not my mother, I don't know what will happen, and if she really
Chapter Seventy-nine“Refuse, say Emma is unwell.” Harvey casually tossed the letter to the housekeeper.The butler sighed, this was a letter from Jethro himself, so it was not convenient to refuse.“But this is a letter written by Lord Jethro himself, this is his own.”"So what?" Harvey frowned uncomfortably.The butler sighed, and Harvey knew that if he refused, he could antagonize Jethro. If the reason is not dead, there is no right to refuse.Harvey didn't understand why Jethro wanted to invite Emma to the party when he had just met her for the first time at the auction yesterday.“Tsk, I'm quite curious to know What does Jethro want to do?" Harvey smiled wickedly.Emma woke up when she heard voices outside, she couldn't hear what Harvey was talking about with the housekeeper.She opened the door startling both Harvey and the housekeeper, she looked up at their surprised expressions and asked:"What's up? What are you and the housekeeper talking about, it's late at night so let's
Chapter EightyEveryone who received an invitation from the Thompsons was quite surprised because they did not expect Jethro Thompson to organize a birthday party for his son Clement, and write the letter himself.For most parents, organizing a birthday party for their child is perfectly normal, but for the Thompson family, it is not. Although Jethro did not organize a birthday party for Clement in the past and left it all to the butler, nobody dared to suggest that Jethro was an unfeeling father.The party went according to plan, and although Clement did not want to attend, he had to because he was the center of attention. "Why don't you like this year's birthday party? Weren't you happy and excited in previous years?" the butler asked, trying to console the young master by reminding him of the happy birthdays he had in the past.Clement was dressed neatly and was only waiting to appear before the guests. Hearing the gentle words of comfort from the butler, he not only not felt his p
Chapter Eighty-OneEmma was wiping Violet's mouth and didn't pay attention to the two men who were giving each other cold, icy stares. Emma cheerfully said, "It's okay, if I have time I'll come play with Clement, and Clement and Mr. Jethro can come to our house too."Harvey was annoyed by how casually Emma accepted the invitation, she agreed so quickly because she didn't know how dangerous the man in front of her was. Emma only cared about maybe soothing Clement's pain of missing his mother, since Clement thinks she looks like his mother anyways."That's great, Violet also likes making friends and talking with Clement. It's good for us to meet each other often, right Harvey?" Emma looked at Harvey with hopeful eyes.Harvey wanted to decline and pull Emma away from here, he had already guessed Jethro's intentions when he proactively sent the invitation letter to them. But he didn't want Emma to notice anything unusual, so he reluctantly smiled and agreed."Thank you for your kindness,
Chapter Eighty-TwoWhen Jethro walked past Clement's room, he accidentally heard this melody. It had been many years, but he couldn't forget it. He didn't expect that the present Emma had given to Clement was a music box, and he felt that the two women had such similar interests. Z investigated carefully and confirmed that Emma was not Gemma, but Jethro didn't believe it. He only believed what he thought was correct.After returning to his room, Jethro searched for the music box from years ago. The music box was buried deep in the wooden box, and it was covered in cobwebs. Jethro carefully wiped it off and wound it up. The melody was exactly the same as the one coming from Clement's music box. Jethro didn't think it was just a coincidence, nor did he believe that two completely different people could have such a special shared interest."Isn't this the same melody? It's so beautiful," Jethro chuckled softly as he looked at the old music box.Jethro never thought that he would hear thi
Chapter Eighty-Three"Jethro invited me to have dinner. Did you agree already?" Harvey asked excitedly.Emma shook her head. "It's not like I agreed, I just said that my husband would be happy to have dinner with him since you're business partners."Harvey felt relieved knowing that Emma couldn't refuse Jethro and that he wouldn't give her the chance to. "And what did he say?" he asked, curious about Jethro's reaction.Emma recounted what had happened, how Jethro had approached her, and how it was just a coincidence. But Harvey knew there was no coincidence here. He knew that Jethro was already making his move.Emma didn't think it was a bad thing. "If you can have dinner together as business partners, your relationship will be stronger," she said happily. But Harvey's face didn't seem pleased."What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Emma tilted her head to ask.Harvey didn't want Emma to notice his uneasiness, so he forced a smile and changed the subject. But he was worried. It felt like
