Chapter 17 Stirring Up Trouble

  • Travis sneered. What was so great about Gemma's influence? He couldn't understand how that woman managed to find his private files, which were hidden so well.
  • The most troublesome thing was his arranged marriage. Taking advantage of this situation, his wife proposed a divorce. He couldn't believe that the woman who usually behaved submissively could also stand up against him.
  • All of this didn't matter. What was critical was that his elders would teach him a lesson. If he was kicked out of the house, he would be ruined.
  • Joel was already sitting at his desk and working. He glanced at Travis and said, "The person who tied the bell should untie it."
  • "What does that mean? Do you want me to find that woman?" Travis realized that he was being asked to apologize to that internet celebrity. Wasn't that embarrassing?
  • Joel waved his hand, indicating that he should leave. Travis left in a bad mood. He could ignore the comments online, but his phone was being bombarded with calls from his family. When he opened WhatsApp, he was overwhelmed by the messages.
  • He had become a laughingstock in Yarwells. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Looking at the teasing messages from his friends, he almost smashed his phone.
  • "I can play however I want. Who can control me?" Although he was angry, he knew that he had to solve this problem or he wouldn't be able to return to his home. However, apologizing to that woman was more difficult than getting beaten up.
  • After thinking it over, he decided to let his subordinates handle the public relations and apologize for the video. He was afraid that the woman still had other blackmail material, and if they continued to fight, it would only lead to a worse outcome.
  • He didn't care about what the netizens said, but in front of his friends, he had lost face.

  • After returning home, Gemma sneered at Travis' apology. Who were the people around Joel who made him feel superior?
  • She opened the computer and looked at the surveillance footage. She had installed a miniature camera in the painting she gave to Joel's grandmother. The mastermind behind the arson might again harm his grandmother, so she had to be careful.
  • Everything was normal. His grandmother had lost weight, but her spirit was still good. Gemma thought about visiting her but suddenly noticed the food that the nurse had brought in.
  • Foie gras was poured on top, and the color looked like almond juice. There was also a soup that was a tonic, but the accompanying pastry was a chocolate croissant.
  • Gemma rubbed her chin and sent a message to Ian. "I remember that Grandma's heart isn't very good, right? Her brain vessels have also had problems."
  • "Yes, what's wrong? I'm going on a business trip tomorrow for about two or three days."
  • She asked for a detailed medical report. After reading it, she looked at the food on the screen and felt even colder.
  • The next day, Gemma had just parked her car when the receptionist rushed over. "Vice President Gemma, there's an incident in the lobby. Please wait a moment before going upstairs."
  • "What happened?"
  • "Someone is causing trouble. A pregnant woman said that you ruined her family and wants..."
  • The receptionist hesitated, and Gemma looked at her with deep eyes. After getting out of the car, she calmly walked towards the lobby. As she passed by, she heard someone shouting, "Gemma is here!"
  • A fat man wearing a gold chain and slippers, with a greasy appearance, rushed out of the crowd.
  • At a glance, he recognized the extraordinary temperament of Gemma and rushed to her to take her hand, but was stopped by Grant. The fat man shouted, "Gemma, even my wife knows about us and wants to make a fuss. You quickly make a statement and say that we have already broken up. I can't divorce my wife!"
  • Gemma turned around and looked back, just in time to see Karen closing her mouth, looking like "it wasn't me who said it."
  • Soon, a pregnant woman ran out of the crowd with disheveled hair and tears all over her face. As soon as she saw Gemma, she was particularly excited and wanted to fight despite the crowd's obstruction.
