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-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-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-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 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
