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
Chapter Eighty-FourThe medicine that Harvey mentioned was only a type of tonic that helps the body recover faster, similar to many other tonics. Emma looked at the pills in her palm with unclear thoughts, feeling confused about all of this. However, in the end, Emma still believed Harvey's words and took them.Nothing unusual happened at first, but after a while, Emma began to feel more and more abnormal. Despite taking the medicine regularly and on time, her health seemed to be deteriorating instead of improving."Emma, you haven't taken your medicine tonight. Hurry up and take it," Harvey handed her the pills and water.Emma glanced at the pill in Harvey's palm, a doubt about him and the effects of these pills suddenly arose in her heart."I don't want to take them anymore, they don't have any effect. I just feel tired and my head always hurts, and I even forget a few things sometimes," Emma said angrily.Upon hearing this, Harvey got angry and tightly grabbed her shoulders, causin
Chapter Eighty-FiveAfter sneaking into Harvey's office, Emma was afraid that he would find out because she hadn't had time to put everything back in its place before returning to her bedroom.But now Emma was sitting across from Harvey at the dining table, and he didn't show any unusual signs, so she was less worried."Harvey, you didn't go out this morning, did you?" Emma said, trying to appear calm."I have some family matters to attend to today, would you like to come along? It's not mandatory." Harvey spoke gently.Emma knew that the reason Harvey had to go back to his family was that his family was a large and long-standing medical family. Unlike modern medicines today, the medicines created by the Susan family used main ingredients from rare herbs that only members of the Susan family knew how to grow and care for.Emma had heard rumors that the medicines of the Susan family had miraculous effects. When she asked Harvey if it was true, he just laughed and said, "It's all just a
Chapter Eighty-SixEmma looked at the small photo for a long time, but just this small photo made her thoughts become chaotic and her emotions mixed. The restlessness made Emma unable to sit still."How is this possible? Mr. Jethro, please don't tease me like this. Harvey also said that I resemble your wife, but he couldn't use my photo to tease me." Emma forced a laugh, but sweat started to form on her forehead.Her hands trembled as she held the photo. There couldn't be such a crazy coincidence in the world.Jethro shook his head. "I'm not joking. This is indeed a photo of my wife."The certainty in Jethro's affirmation only made Emma more panicked and gave her a headache. Suddenly, a horrifying thought appeared in her mind. She was once a victim of an accident, and her head was affected, causing memory loss.Could it be that Harvey had ordered plastic surgery for her while she was unconscious? This would be a reasonable explanation without any flaws.But that was just a temporary t
