Chapter Eight Gemma knew this fat man was looking at her, she was uncomfortable with this but because of Jethro, she couldn't make him angry. Gemma forced herself to maintain her wry smile in front of the dirty and hungry stare of the man opposite. Suddenly, Jethro's phone rang, he smiled at his partner but the fat man threw his hand excitedly. “I see you're busy, so just pick up the phone, I'm free today so don't worry.” “Thank you, I'll be right back.” Jethro stood up and left. Only the fat man and Gemma remained in the room, as Jethro leaving the room left her feeling depressed and anxious to be with a man she didn't even know, who looked at her like a lustful beast making her nauseous. While she didn't know how to face this man, she couldn't just leave him alone in the room.

Chapter Nine Gemma didn't want to talk right now, for tonight's meeting she felt like a beautiful item to attach to Jethro and make other men enjoy looking at her.

But Gemma thought too well of her husband, his words had left her in deep thought and despair. “This is the only thing you can do for me, so show me how good you are,” Jethro said coldly. The carelessness and disregard from her own husband made Gemma pale and her heart ached like a knife.

Boniface, seeing a bad atmosphere, made peace and said: “Mr. Thompson has a good sense of humor, but we're here for a meeting, so let's talk about the next project.” Although he said that, the atmosphere was only slightly calming, John did not want to cancel all his efforts for so long, so he still smiled in harmony with Jethro. Only Farrer did not have time to speak up and was humiliated, making him angry to the point of madness. However, when he saw his father's unprecedented concession to Jethro, he had to hold back his anger, but in his mind, he thought at all costs to get revenge on Jethro for insulting him and his father. “As for the price you said before, I think it's reasonable, but you have some conditions. It will also be difficult for us, as you know I am very fond of you, for other customers, I will never agree so quickly.” John shrugged and said, he also pretended to be a disadv
Chapter ElevenAs he lay beside Jethro, Gemma knew he was not asleep yet, so she asked softly.“Honey, the meeting went well tonight, do you need to see them again next time?”Jethro just coldly answered, he didn't want to talk to her.“No need anymore.”Gemma heard that and was a little relieved that she didn't need to see them anymore, so if they actually contacted her, she could flatly refuse without pretending. Next time may not meet that fat guy and Farrer but that does not mean that Jethro's next partners are kind and polite people.…At the company, in Jethro's large but somewhat gloomy office.The secretary beside him didn't dare to breathe as she looked at Jethro's very bad expression.

"that’s so good !" Gemma stood up and swung around a few times. Although this has nothing to do with Gemma, she is happy that the partnership between the two companies shows that the relationship between her son-in-law and father-in-law has improved. That meant Jethro's attitude toward her would be different. Because she was so happy, Gemma did not doubt and wonder why Jethro did this. Gemma quickly phoned her father, although the news was so good that Gemma could not believe it, so she had to call her father to make sure everything was okay. "Dad?"

As soon as the words finished, Farrer saw clearly who the man pushing him was, so he immediately fell silent.The man calmly asked, "Didn't your mother tell you?" then slightly bowed his head and asked Gemma:"Are you okay?"Gemma moved away from the man's chest, a little shyly shaking her head: "I'm fine… you're…?"The man looked at her bewildered face and smiled.“I'm Harvey, we had the chance to meet at the party before.

C Chapter Fifteen Mr. Robert did not think that his always naive daughter would speak to his black heart, indeed from the beginning he did not like this son-in-law. Had it not been for Gemma's insistence on marrying that man, he would never have paid attention to Jethro in his entire life. But after Gemma got married, every time he saw Jethro he felt both familiar and worried. Perhaps he was too old to continue working, he thought.
