Chapter 336 - Gordon\'s Purview

Emma stared at the back of Jerlina and she could only cry in her heart. She went through a lot and she still has eight more months to get a glimpse of a single billion but this b*tch got ninety-six billion just like that?

Why? How?

She couldn\'t understand how she makes everyone love her. People just do what she wants and she struts away like a proud peacock. And she came here to brag to me!

Well, she might not show it but she should be jealous that I got pregnant!

But she is so cunning! She didn\'t tell me anything when I talked about my billion. She must have laughed in her heart.

That…

She gritted her teeth and cursed Jerlina in her heart. If she knew that Jerlina is worth billions and had great connections, she would have pretended to care for her a little more time. Now it is all ruined.

Emma could comfort herself a little by doing so. But then her lips stiffened seeing how Jeremy was wrapping his hand around her and she could see that he is very much mesmerized by her. That would be dangerous.

What can I do? If this continues, I can\'t live in peace…

I know what to do!

Jerlina and Jeremy didn\'t even look back and walked holding hands. They didn\'t care about others anyway. Martha tried to strike a conversation with Gordon but he was blocked by the bodyguards. She never thought she would be the one who kicked out the money-fairy knocking at their door. She really couldn\'t accept the fact that the woman who was silent and acted an orphan had such a backing.

If she knew it all along, why did she pretend to be poor?

Emma\'s mother, on the other hand, was thinking. Her husband was telling her that they are facing loss as if someone is making them lose.

Could this woman be the reason their company is facing loss?

While they were in their thoughts what they didn\'t know is Gordon gathering a lot of information he needed by these interactions and their body language. He is mainly here to gather a lot of information first-hand. He has a task.

Others were shocked and they are all smart to keep away from the lady from now on. They would probably try and brownnose her but they won\'t do anything to hurt her.

His eyes ended up at Emma. She thinks she looks cute with all the work she has done on her face. But the eyes… no one can change the windows to the soul.

She is pure evil. And the worst part is she knows it and she doesn\'t care! That makes her… unsuitable to live.

He\'s lived all his life judging people by how they look and act – kind of like a gambler. Not to mention he\'s the best at playing poker.

And Emma… no good! She is malicious.

She needs to get exterminated for the peace of Lady Jerlina!

But Lady Jerlina doesn\'t like her to get exterminated. And now that Emma is pregnant Lady Jerlina would be more lenient on that malicious woman.

But accidents happen all the time!

There is a possibility that it wouldn\'t be accepted as an accident by the lady. It would cause trouble for the grandsire if the lady blames him.

I should be careful with this.

Jerlina with the help of Jeremy picked some shiny ornaments for her great-grandfather to add to his collections of shiny things.

"You could have designed a glassware from your company and gifted him," Jeremy said on their way back. Gordon was following them in another car.

"Eh," Jerlina scratched her head. "Maybe for his birthday..?"

Jeremy looked at Jerlina and she was staring out of the window. He could sense that she is not that interested in getting too close with Jonathan.

Well, she tries hard. Poor girl doesn\'t realize still that she is very soft-hearted.

"You still haven\'t told me where you went that day," he asked.

Ever since that day she told him that she met Gerard somewhere, he\'s been asking her where she met him but she is not telling him. And so, he will ask her that every day.

He figured that she could have gotten a gift for his birthday in March. But he found it pleasing to see her trying hard to hide the truth from him.

"I told you it\'s a secret!" she curled her lips and she looked very cute doing so.

They reached their home. Jeremy took it on himself to cook dinner while Jerlina entertained Gordon. Gordon curiously walked around the house with her and took pictures.

"It\'s a small house, isn\'t it? But it is okay if you\'re happy, Lady Jerlina," he smiled.

"Yeah, I am very happy," Jerlina smiled.

Only these uppity people will think of this big manor as a small house. But then when every home they own are castles and mansions with bedrooms in double digits, this six-bedroom house would seem small. It\'s all relative, right?

They took a walk outside. The dogs started to bark seeing an unfamiliar person but Jerlina ordered them to be silent. Half of the dogs listened while others only listened to Charlie.

Well, this is a great improvement. She used to be so scared of the dogs but now she is not so scared anymore. And they got used to her presence very easily.

"You\'re fond of roses, Milady?" Gordon asked looking at the small rose garden she is maintaining. Jerlina nodded with a proud smile.

"Yes, I love this place. I didn\'t know I loved gardening until I started. Daisy…" she let out a sigh. "Daisy helped me a lot…"

She remembers Daisy every time she takes care of these plants. She helped her a lot.

"And that rose plant you have in your bedroom..?" Gordon asked.

"That…" Jerlina gulped.

It still is hard to talk about it. Jeremy told her that she can plant the rose bush in the garden if she wants. She has every intention to do so once spring arrives. This is her home and the place where she is going to spend the rest of her days. This is where she is going to raise her kids and retire.

She will keep everything she loves close to this place.

"If you\'re not willing to speak about it, you don\'t have to tell me anything…" Gordon said and Jerlina waved her hand.

"It\'s not a big secret or anything…" Jerlina took a deep breath. "I had a miscarriage and… I buried the baby in the planter…"

"Oh?" Gordon blinked his eyes fastly. "I am sorry."

"Yeah," Jerlina smiled. "I am fine. Shall we get inside? It\'s getting dark…" Jerlina led Gordon back into the house.

"Yes, Milady," Gordon followed her.

He knew she had a miscarriage. The grandsire asked him to not talk about it to the Lady. But he was sad that the lady lost an heir. It doesn\'t matter who the father is. That baby was the lady\'s and it was an heir that was lost.

Well… fate can be cruel at times.
