“Dad, I’m not tattling. I also know that I should get along peacefully with Laurel. I just feel like it’s unfair
to our family. When Gemma started working at the company, she was looked down upon by Irvin. Now
Laurel comes to work, and it’s just taken for granted. I’m thinking that the reason Irvin and Laurel
agreed to let me work here yesterday is definitely because they had already arranged for Laurel to
come, afraid, of causing controversy, so they just agreed without
hesitation,” Avril said cautiously.
Kermit over there grew angrier as he listened, “Irvin really went too far! After all, I am his older brother.
He dares to disrespect me just because he is the chairman! Avril, don’t worry, Dad won’t let you be
treated unfairly like this!”
“Dad, does it make you feel very difficult? After all, Irvin is now in charge of the Lambert Group. I’m
afraid he will target you…” Avril expressed her deep concern. “I’m fine. Even if I’m bullied by Laurel, it’s
nothing.”
“Bullying you, isn’t it just intentionally bullying me? Don’t worry, even if Irvin is the chairman, he
wouldn’t dare to do anything to me! If he dares to do anything to me, I have your grandmother backing
me up.”
“Um.” Avril obediently agreed.
“I won’t say much more as I have some things to attend to. You focus on your work. If there’s anything,
let me know right. away. Don’t let yourself suffer in silence,” Kermit advised.

“Okay, then I won’t disturb Dad’s work,” Laurel said sweetly with a smile.
Laurel hung up the phone.
The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
Her mother was right!
To coax a man, one must know how to show weakness and understand how to please.
Now Laurel was coaxing her dad.
In the future…
Laurel was coaxing Bruno, or…
A malicious smile crept across Avril’s lips.
Laurel had…
Avril wanted to take everything away!
Avril wanted to become the true young lady of the Lambert family!
On the streets of Rosegrad City…
Kermit sat in the car and hung up the phone with a cold expression on his face.
At this moment, there were only him, Belle, and Gemma in the
car.
They were now going to the Scott’s place to hold Bruno

accountable for Gemma.
Belle heard that the phone call was from Laurel, and her expression visibly changed. She sarcastically
said, “Has your precious daughter been mistreated again?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Laurel was standing up for Gemma!” Kermit was completely fooled by Avril.
Gemma sneered, “Laurel standing up for me? She took away my position. How petty!”
“That’s enough. With your current appearance, what right do you have to mock Avril!” Kermit’s face
darkened.
Belle gave Gemma a look.
Gemma endured.
Gemma thought, “After I marry Bruno, I will teach Avril a lesson!”
The car arrived at Scott’s place.
Kermit took his family inside.
Yesterday, Kermit left the Lambert’s house and immediately contacted the Scott family, saying that he
would come today to discuss the matter of Gemma and Bruno. The Scott family readily agreed,
probably feeling that it was time to resolve this issue. As Kermit entered, he saw the Scott family
waiting for them in the living room.
Seeing them come in, the Scott family also didn’t have a good expression.
Wilbert greeted them coldly, “You guys have arrived.”

Kermit behaved somewhat arrogantly. After being reminded by Laurel yesterday, he suddenly felt like NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
the victim in this matter, so he appeared more self-righteous.
Kermit’s family walked past.
Kermit said straightforwardly, “Regarding the matter of Gemma and Bruno, you must give us an
explanation.”
“What do you want me to say?” Wilbert sneered, his mouth filled with sarcasm.
“Why even mention it? My daughter was unmarried and now she has been treated so badly by your
son. Shouldn’t you be responsible for my daughter?” Kermit’s face turned pale as he listened to
Wilbert’s tone.
“Bruno has been ruined by Gemma. I didn’t ask for
compensation from you, and yet you have the audacity to come and ask me to take responsibility? Do
you even consider your own position? How dare you even suggest marrying Gemma to Bruno. Wilbert
has truly lost all sense of dignity.”
“What are you talking about? Gemma was slept with by Bruno, and you guys are not taking
responsibility, yet you come to mock me! The Scott family is so irresponsible and uncultured! No
wonder all these years, we have always been ranked at the bottom among the Four Great Families.
With someone like you as the head of the family, I’m afraid in another two years, the Scott family won’t
even be considered one of the Four Great Families…”
“Enough!” Wilbert angrily sat up from the couch and coldly faced Kermit. “I asked you to come today to
resolve this matter properly. I never intended to argue with you!”

“How do you suggest we settle this?” Kermit asked, taking a deep breath.
“800 thousand dollars,” said Wilbert, “and you have to publicly announce that Gemma seduced Bruno.”
“Are you crazy? Do you think I would sell my daughter? 800 thousand dollars and you expect me to do
such a thing. You’re insane!” Kermit blurted out in anger.
“800 thousand dollars is just an overestimation for you all!” Wilbert sneered, “Gemma is just a distant
relative’s daughter., What value could she possibly have!”
“You!” Kermit was furious in that moment.
Gemma couldn’t accept what the Scott family said.
Tears welled up in Gemma’s eyes as she spoke with a hint of fragility, “Mr. Scott, how could you say
such things about me? Bruno and I were truly in love. By belittling me like this, aren’t you also
embarrassing Bruno?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. When did I ever truly fall in love with you?” Bruno retorted directly.
“Bruno…” Gemma looked at Bruno in disbelief.
How could Bruno say such things?
At the wedding, Bruno’s words were also hurtful. But later, Gemma thought that Bruno must have felt
embarrassed in front of so many people, which is why he said those things. Now that Laurel has
already married Hayden, Bruno should accept Gemma. Why does Bruno still have to say such things?
When Bruno and Gemma got into bed, Bruno didn’t say it like

that.

“Don’t call me. I can’t even stand looking at you or hearing your voice now. Why are you shamelessly
trying to seduce me? How dare you come to my house and expect me to take responsibility for you.
You’re just talking nonsense…”
“Bruno!” Gemma was ultimately embarrassed by Bruno’s words. “What did you say when we got into
bed? You said you loved me, that you were with Laurel for the sake of benefits, and that once you
obtained those benefits, you would be with me. Have you forgotten all of that?”
“You were just imagining things! Someone like you, do you think I would love you? Just look at yourself!
Yes, I admit I have no feelings for Laurel either. I was just using her, wanting to take advantage of the
Lambert family’s wealth. But even so, I am willing to put effort into Laurel, not just because of her
status, but also because she is more beautiful and has a better figure than you. Where do you get the
confidence to think that I would love you?”
Bruno’s sarcasm made Gemma wish she could die in that
moment.
Gemma wished she could die with Bruno.
