Chapter 19 Calm Under Pressure

• Gemma's face stiffened. She didn't expect the person that Karen had brought to be so shameless. The fat man was certain that she wouldn't dare to take off her skirt in public to prove her innocence, and he was shaking his legs in triumph.
• The onlookers began to whisper again, and some men stared straight at Gemma's skirt. Karen signaled for the people she had arranged to start making a scene. Gemma looked over coldly, and those people immediately shut their mouths.
• Karen was also a little panicked. If it were any other woman in this situation, she would have already collapsed, but Gemma's face was just a bit ugly; she was still calm and rational.
• "To prove whether or not there is a birthmark on my leg, call a few women to the bathroom to check, and you will know. What use is this fake evidence?" Gemma's cold eyes stared at the fat man. "You tell me, where do I live? What is my phone number? What is my ID number? When is my birthday, where did I graduate from, and how old am I this year?"
• As she spoke, she paid attention to the fat man's and the pregnant woman's expressions. The fat man was stuck and looked at Karen again. Gemma sneered. "If you can't answer these questions, how can you prove that we have a close relationship? If you can't say it, it means you took money to deliberately come and frame me!"
• The crowd quieted down again. Gemma's eyes flashed with ferocity. "You can't answer, right? Who sent you? I don't even know you!"
• The fat man stuttered, "You, you are shameless! Do you have to force my wife and our child to death before you give up? I warn you, this is a matter of life and death!"
• "I think it's you who wants to kill me!" Gemma took a step forward. "If something happens to me, not only will you not get the money, but you will also go to jail!"
• The fat man panicked. He only did things for money but didn't want to be involved in a life-and-death situation. Seeing that Gemma was a tough character, he wondered whether he should take the money or not.
• When Karen saw that the situation was not right, she took a step forward and grabbed Gemma's wrist. "Vice President, just kneel and admit your mistake! If there is any loss of life, it's not a joke. She's pregnant!"
• The fat man snapped out of it. Today's performance was almost over, and this woman's reputation was ruined. If he could add fuel to the fire and make the charge stick, he could get the money. As for life and death, it had nothing to do with him!
• "Quickly, kneel and apologize to my wife!" After making up his mind, the fat man gave his wife a signal. With Karen, the three of them tried to force Gemma to kneel. The fat man had some strength, so dealing with a woman was not difficult.
• The other people wanted to help, but Gemma might be wrongly accused in this situation. Besides, there was a pregnant woman; it would be troublesome if something happened. Normally, it would not be a problem for Gemma to get away from them, but the pregnant woman seemed to be possessed and was desperately trying to drag her to hell. Gemma couldn't use her strength because she was pregnant. Grant and the security guards protected her in the middle, and the situation was chaotic for a while.
• "Vice President Gemma, just kneel and apologize!" Karen saw that Gemma was unyielding and circled behind her, lifting her foot to kick Gemma's calf.
• "Stop! I dare you to make her kneel!" A voice sounded, and Karen's foot paused. The crowd turned their heads to look back, and Joel walked over with an icy expression.
• "President Joel..."
• Karen was shocked, but she still wanted to turn the situation around. "President Joel, you've misunderstood. Vice President Gemma was the third party; his wife came to us, and we just wanted to settle things peacefully..."
• "So you're saying Vice President Gemma would be interested in someone like her?" As soon as Joel spoke, everyone followed his gaze and looked at the chubby girl.
• The sudden arrival of the President of the Summers family and his words in favor of Gemma caused a sudden and unexpected reversal that caught everyone off guard. Karen was terrified, and her legs went weak, almost causing her to fall to the ground.
