Chapter Sixty-FourAfter dinner was over, Clement walked out of the dining room with eyes still filled with surprise and couldn't believe his ears what his father had just said. Things didn't seem right for a five-year-old like him, but to Jethro, it didn't matter because in his eyes achieving his goal was what mattered.Sienna noticed Clement's puzzled expression and walked over to him with a friendly gesture. "What's going on, Clement?" She asked softly, her eyes and actions both full of concern.Sienna's face looked like his mother's so he frowned and evaded the question. "Nothing," he replied.Gemma's recent symptoms of discomfort and nausea when she smelled food made her worried. She knew she was pregnant, and suspected that Alex and Jethro knew too but chose not to tell her anything. Gemma couldn't help but laugh sarcastically at herself, thinking that they didn't tell her because they were afraid she would harm the unborn child.She sighed, realizing that Jethro was stubborn an
Chapter Sixty-FiveDespite Gemma's attempts to appear indifferent and not pay attention to what others did to her, including Jethro, she had long grown tired of this place. She just needed to be obedient and make Jethro despise her, and soon she could leave here with dignity. She didn't want to run away, only to be caught by Jethro again, but each time it only caused her more pain.But no one had ever dared to say to her face that she had become as weak as Alex, and Gemma's gentle and sweet demeanor had disappeared, replaced by a cold, sharp gaze as she looked at Alex in front of her. "This is you, Gemma," Alex chuckled.Gemma snorted and didn't ask why Alex had helped her, but there was one thing she was curious about: why had Alex helped her when he was loyal to Jethro? "I don't think you felt sorry for me and helped me, Alex. What's your reason, and what do you gain from helping me?" Gemma spoke coldly, her tone reflecting the authority and position of a noble lady.Alex didn't ex
Chapter Sixty-SixOn the bed, a pool of blood soaked into Gemma's nightgown and sheets, causing all those in the room to pale and tremble with fear. Gemma's breath began to weaken, her vision blurred, and she couldn't hear clearly what the servant was saying. All she knew was that they were trying to call out her name loudly.In her haze, Gemma no longer felt the pain, and she muttered, "Please...please...save my child..."The maids who saw Gemma faint with intense pain were extremely frightened and heard heavy footsteps outside as Alex arrived quickly and opened the door."How is she?" Alex asked the maids around him when he saw her condition."We don’t know. When Clement shouted, we rushed up here and all we know is that Madame Gemma was in intense pain, her stomach cramp, and then she fainted," said a maid.Alex knew he couldn't rely on these inexperienced servants, so he began directing all the maids on what needed to be done. After Gemma had passed the critical stage but was stil
Chapter Sixty-SevenAfter Alex left Gemma's room and was preparing to leave, Sienna stood in front of him and appeared worried."What's the matter, Miss Sienna?" Alex asked kindly with a smile.Sienna looked anxiously toward Gemma's room before hesitantly asking, "Is Gemma okay? I...I'm very worried about her. I was too drunk last night and didn't know what happened. Some people told me she had a stomachache."Alex continued to smile, "That's right, but she woke up this morning and had breakfast already. She just needs to rest well.""Well...that's good...that's very good..." Sienna forced a smile.Alex tilted his head and observed Sienna, "Are you okay? You don't seem really happy to hear that."Upon hearing that, Sienna quickly changed her attitude, "Alex, did you misunderstand something? How can I not be happy? Don't say random things."Alex didn't want to argue with her, so he walked past her and left. Before leaving, he remembered something and turned back to say, "Mrs. Gemma sti
Chapter Sixty-EightEveryone present felt that Sienna had gone insane, not knowing where she got the courage to openly ridicule Gemma like that. Gemma felt that Sienna had lost control."Sienna, you better know when to stop. I don't know where you're getting the nerve to cause such a commotion," Gemma restrained her annoyance as her current physical state wasn't suitable for anger.Sienna sneered, feeling that Gemma was just a fake and despicable woman, no different from a tempting succubus to men. Sienna had seen that Jethro was fed up with this woman, so she waited for the two to divorce, but she didn't expect Gemma to be pregnant. Gemma certainly didn't want a divorce, so she deliberately got pregnant to hold onto Jethro.The soup that night was not enough to kill Gemma's fetus, which made Sienna very angry, and Gemma's imposing and firm demeanor made Sienna want to rush over and kill her."Sienna, what were you saying just now?" Jethro asked, his voice unemotional as if he didn't
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
