Chapter Sixty NineEverything was in Jethro's mind, but he wasn't really satisfied with the results. He wanted to see more reactions and expressions from Gemma as a beauty worth admiring. After that day, no one saw Sienna's appearance anymore, and no one dared to speak up or be curious about it. Everyone's attitude was indifferent as if Sienna had never existed, and no one in this big mansion was named Sienna.The housekeeper brought a tray of medicine to Gemma's door and knocked a few times, but there was still no sound inside. She sighed and opened the door and walked in. The inside of the room could be described as "chaos". The housekeeper was a bit surprised but didn't pay attention to it.All the objects inside were precious gems and expensive crystals that Gemma loved, but nothing was left intact. The housekeeper also found a bit of dried red liquid on the floor. She immediately understood that the liquid was blood. Perhaps Gemma couldn't bear such a big shock and went insane, d
Chapter Seventy The room fell silent after Jethro left, and Gemma no longer felt anything around her. She felt everything before she was just black, white, gray, and extremely gloomy. It was not because of the scenery, but because Gemma's mind was left with only those colors. Her entire world had collapsed into a tasteless void. Gemma didn't need Jethro's threats. She didn't feel the need to run or do anything because no matter what she did, all she would receive in return was just pain. "Mom..." Clement stood by Gemma's bed for a long time and called her many times, but Gemma only looked at the empty space in front of her. Gemma tilted her head and looked at Clement. Although she didn't want to, she had to admit that the boy in front of her had a face very similar to Jethro's, with only the eyes resembling her. "What's wrong, dear?" Gemma forced a gentle and affectionate smile toward the child. After all, Clement was the greatest comfort for Gemma in her life. Clement didn't und
Chapter Seventy-OneAlthough Gemma had reassured the butler to not worry because what she said was accurate, she still had a bad feeling. However, if Mr. Jethro had given his consent, a butler like her couldn't continue to obstruct. Not only the butler, but also the gatekeeper and some maids who were cleaning and taking care of the trees outside were surprised to see Gemma slowly walking out, but they also had to quickly return to their work because Clement's cold eyes were directed towards them."Ma'am and Master Clement, please wait for me, I'll go get the car." The gatekeeper hastily spoke because he wasn't informed that Gemma could go outside, so he was a little surprised and slow to react."I can drive myself, you don't need to come along." Gemma smiled and said.After driving a considerable distance from the villa, Clement asked, "Mom, where are we going now?""Clement, where is your favorite restaurant?" Gemma looked straight ahead, her beautiful face filled with a smile.Cleme
Chapter Seventy-TwoIn a large but gloomy and silent room, the inside was completely chaotic and filled with the scent of alcohol. A man dressed only in a white robe sat on the sofa holding a glass of wine while surrounded by many empty wine bottles on the floor.The serious-faced bodyguard entered and reported, "Sir, we have not yet found her."As soon as the words were finished, the glass of wine flew straight toward the bodyguard at a terrifying speed, causing him to sweat profusely but still stand firmly. "Not found? It has been more than two months, and the result you give me is 'not found.' You are a useless bunch, get out!" Jethro sneered and shouted.Alex stood outside sweating and hesitating to enter with the bodyguard. The bodyguard stepped out and told Alex, "His condition has not improved yet, and I think you should pay more attention ."Alex wanted to cry but this was a big matter. This was also the first time he had seen Jethro's messy and terrible appearance since he kn
Chapter Seventy-Three"Clement, I hear from your tutor that your grades have been very good recently." Jethro looked at his son in front of him.Since then, Clement had not been as active and lively as before when he woke up. His eyes were blank and indifferent, unlike those of a child.His silence in response to Jethro’s words created a tense and awkward atmosphere. Previously, even a single word of praise from Jethro would make Clement happy for days and feel proud of his achievements.Jethro could not blame the sudden change in Clement. He himself had taken a long time to continue working after the shock of Gemma's departure. He was still crazily searching for her."But you should also go outside more and not confine yourself to your room like this," Jethro continued.Jethro was not angry with his son's silence. After all, Gemma's departure had greatly affected the boy's mental state. It was a blow that even Jethro had not experienced. He was still holding on to hope that she would
Chapter Seventy-Four"Mr. Jethro, you've been waiting for a while, I had some problem to attend to which caused me to come late," Harvey said with a friendly smile to the cold man in front of him.Recently, the dealings between these two men had been very smooth, making them important partners to each other. However, in this transaction, these two men were actually enemies who would not hesitate to turn on each other at any moment."If you knew that, you should have come earlier. I don't have much spare time," Jethro said coldly, unresponsive to Harvey's attempts to be friendly.The conversation had just started, but the atmosphere was already tense and awkward. Harvey was a gentleman and knew that Jethro was a rough one, so he didn't get angry. Moreover, among all Harvey's partners, no one spent as much money as Jethro."Are you satisfied with the previous item? How much do you want this time?" Harvey asked, not mentioning what the item was, but everyone in the room knew what he was
Chapter Seventy-Five The relationship between Jethro and Clement had become much worse, even if the boy followed Jethro's suggestions, they no longer had a common ground. "When will you bring my mother back?" Clement asked. The question made Jethro silent. He had no answer to this question and it was not the first time Clement had asked him. "Why won't you answer? You said you would bring my mother back, didn't you? It's been over a year," Clement continued, his voice low and hoarse. Jethro sighed. The pain was not just Clement's alone. He also wanted to ask the same question as Clement, but who could he ask now? His mistake had caused Gemma to suffer and commit suicide, and it had been over a year without any information about her. Her disappearance was like a punishment from God. "It will be soon," Jethro said. But the past year had made Clement lose all faith in his father. He resented and hated his own father. If not for this man, his mother would not have been desperate to
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
