Chapter 364: You Don’t Deserve to Know It


    “Yes, it’s my fault truly. I felt quite bored and annoyed while being locked up at home. I vent my waves


    of anger on my maids. But, Ernest, no matter what I’ve done, my love for you has never changed.”


    With red eyes, Gemma walked to Ernest.


    “Now you came to see me. Does it mean that you’ve forgiven me for the sake of our rtionship


    before? Ernest, I don’t want anything else. I just want to go back to where we used to be. I promise that


    I would never make such mistakes I’ve made again in the future.”


    As she spoke, Gemma reached out to touch Ernest with hope.


    However, he dodged.


    Ernest creased his brows, looking at her in disgust coldly.


    “Gemma Marlon, I came to you, not for the sake of our rtionship in the past.”


    Ernest dodged Gemma and took a few steps backward. He stood outside the door directly.


    He looked quite disdained as if he felt quite disgusted when breathing the air in her room.


    Gemma’s hand was stiffened in the mid-air. Her face turned pale.


    She had grown up with Ernest since childhood. She had loved him for so many years, so she knew him


    very well. His look proved that he truly disgusted her.


    She guessed that probably she was more disgusting than the homeless on the roadside to him now.


    Ernest looked at Gemma coldly, giving her an order while stressing each syble, “For the seventy-


    year-old birthday banquet of Lord Wendell, I want you to be my date to attend it.”


    Gemma was stunned for a moment.


    Then she reacted slowly and realized that Ernest didn’te for her because of their friendship in the


    past. Instead, it was because he wanted to attend Lord Wendell’s seventy-year-old birthday party.


    Lord Wendell always kept a low profile and he stayed in America. He hadn’t had any contact with the


    Hawkins family before. It was all because Gemma used to know him, so she got an invitation from him.


    Lord Wendell had retired already and he wasn’t so powerful as he used to be, which seemed to be


    useless to Ernest.


    Gemma couldn’t help but wonder why Ernest would put his effort to meet Lord Wendell.


    Besides, he nned to visit Lord Wendell through a formal asion, which would bring Wendell a lot


    of honors. She wondered if Ernest was seeking any help from Lord Wendell.


    What could Lord Wendell help Ernest with?


    Gemma’s brain worked pretty fast, but she couldn’t figure out an answer.


    She asked directly, “Why do you want to meet him? I want to know the reason.”


    “You don’t deserve to know it.”


    His cold reply didn’t care about her dignity at all.


    Ernest said in an extremely heartless tone, “Gemma Marlon, get ready and go to America with me. If


    you’ve done it well, I can let you live. Otherwise, you’ll be doomed with the Marlon family.”


    His cold words implied that he was not just threatening her. He would absolutely do it.


    Gemma’s face paled in fear, her whole body trembling.


    She knew how powerful Ernest was. Even the Marlon family used to be a super-rich family in City N, as


    long as Ernest wanted to ruin it, they would definitely be doomed without any ability to struggle.


    The suppression from the Hawkins family in recent weeks was the true reality.


    With a pale face, Gemma knew that she couldn’t refuse at all. However, she became more curious to


    know why Ernest would do it.


    She wondered what on earth made Ernest so eager that he’d rather ruin the whole Marlon family at all


    costs.


    “Ernest, I know I’ve made mistakes in the past, but I love you truly. I’ll actively make it up for you. Now


    since I can help you, I’ll help you wholeheartedly. I’ll take you to meet Lord Wendell. I’m quite close to


    him. I’ll introduce you to him.”


    Gemma smiled sincerely at Ernest, her eyes full of affection.


    However, Ernest didn’t spare her a nce at all. Since his purpose was achieved, he turned away


    without any hesitation.


    His tall and strong back was so cold that Gemma felt her heart was frozen.


    Gazing at his back with affection, Gemma felt sad and reluctant. However, she was enlightened with


    hope.


    As long as she was useful for him.


    She could be Ernest date this time, so she would be with him frequently. Gemma decided to fully


    use this rare chance to ease her rtionship with Ernest.


    The most important was that they were going to America, and Ernest wouldn’t bring Florence, that


    hateful woman.


    At the thought of Florence, Gemma was curious again. In the hospital, she had seen how much


    Florence cared about Ernest. She had a hunch that they would be reconciled pretty soon.


    She wondered if Florence had already sessfully confessed her love to Ernest and they were in love


    already.


    At the thought of it, Gemma gritted her teeth in hatred. She squeezed words between her teeth, “Check


    how is Florence Fraser doing recently. What’s her rtionship with Ernest now? I want to know it as


    soon as possible.”


    The butler stood motionlessly at the spot.


    With hesitation, he answered, “Miss Marlon, just now when Mr. Hawkins was leaving, he said you are


    not allowed to get in touch with any information outside.”


    “What?”


    Gemma’s face became as pale as a piece of paper.


    In the past few weeks, she was grounded but she could still ess things outside. However, after


    Ernest’s visit today, she even couldn’t keep in touch with the outside world.


    Was he afraid that she would y any tricks before visiting Lord Wendell?


    Gemma couldn’t help but feel heartbreaking. Ernest didn’t know -- as long as he wanted her to help


    him, she would fully cooperate with him.


    She had never wanted to harm him. That car ident was just an unexpected event out of her


    control...


    “Okay. Then I’ll get fully prepared for the birthday banquet. Bring me the most beautiful and the most


    valuable jewelry. I’ll attend the banquet as Ernest’s date for the first time. I must be pretty enough to


    stun the whole banquet.”


    In the car.


    Two days passed by in a link.


    In America.


    In the old and luxurious castle, it was quite lively now. Cars were driven in one after another. All the


    famous nobles from the world got off from them.


    They were all invited to attend the seventieth birthday banquet of Lord Wendell.


    A high-end Rolls-Royce arrived.


    The usher pulled the door of the car open.


    A man’s leather shoesnded. Then he walked out of the car. Instantly, he became the focus of the


    scene.


    With his straightened figure and handsome face, he emanated the charm that stunned others and


    gained women’s hearts.


    “Who is he? He’s so handsome!”


    “This is also my first time seeing such a handsome man. It seemed that he was from China.”


    “He had an outstanding temperament. He must be quite famous in China.”


    All the attended guests stopped, discussing in low voices.


    All the women’s gazes were glued on him. If it weren’t for the concern of their public images, they


    would have pounced at the man, asking him for his phone number.


    Countless women had made up their minds in secret. Later in the banquet hall, they would definitely


    talk to this man. If they would take the opportunity to hook up with him, it would be the best.


    No one was willing to let go of such a handsome man.


    They suddenly felt that it was worth attending this birthday banquet.

    Under women’s hungry gazes, Ernest looked quite indifferently. His cold and elegant gaze didn’t fall on


    anyone.
