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 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 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 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 and NineteenAs Gemma played the piano, she glanced over at Clement, who had never had direct contact with any musical instrument before, making him feel both new and thrilled. The melody she played was incredibly gentle and tender, just a little listening to it brought comfort, dissipating any worries.Clement looked up at his mother just as their eyes met, and in that moment, he was awestruck by Gemma's ethereal beauty. He knew his mother was beautiful and admired her looks, but at this instant, he couldn't bring himself to look directly into her eyes.Feeling embarrassed, Clement quickly turned his head away, and his face flushed red like a tomato. He clumsily tried to conceal his embarrassment, not wanting his mother to see it. Gemma chuckled softly, seeing her son in such a state.As the music came to an end, Gemma raised her hand and turned to ask her son, "What do you think? It was lovely, right?""Yes, it was beautiful. You never told me you could play the
