Chapter 207: He Secretly Chose a Matching Outfit with Gemma
A patient walked in.
After finishing the consultation, she picked up her phone immediately.
Nothing.
She let out a quiet sigh.
She wasn’t even sure why she was feeling this strange sense of melancholy.
Weird.
She shook her head, trying to clear out all those unnecessary thoughts.
Then, she called the next patient and focused on work.
After crying her eyes out. Pamela returned to the hospital room, her face putty and blotchy like a rabbit. Inside, the place was a disaster zone William had smashed everything within reach.
Outside, the nurses were complaining.
hside, William was seething with rage, yelling at the top of his lungs.
Pamela rushed to his bedside, gripping his shoulders.
“William, what’s wrong? Are you in pain?”
His jaw clenched tight, veins bulging at his temples, pulsing furiously.
“Gemma Kelestine!”
“That damn woman!”
Pamela had no idea what set him off, but she knew she had to calm him down.
“Okay, okay, I’ll make her pay for this!”
But William pointed at the teacup across the room. Inside, a wilting chrysanthemum
He growled again
Pamela followed his gaze. The moment she saw the pathetic–looking flower, her expression turned so dark it could drip ink
This was beyond an insult–this was a dagger to the heart.
Gemma had crossed the line.
She had to die.
Right then, Derick walked into the hospital.
His face was stormy with frustration.
“Can you two ever behave! Seriously. I’m done with you.”
Pamela played her trump card–her signature innocent girl act.
“Derick, I don’t want this either, but why is that man still outside the jail Why is he still after William?”
*I thought you deal with him already!”
She chang to his arm, swaying pitifully
“Derick, are you really going to abandon ust
“We ve always stood by you. I know you don’t want to hurt William–thereanust be something holding you back–but as his mother, I can’t take this anymore.”
Then, she started crying again.
Heart–wrenching, gut–twisting sobs
Derick, still fuming, felt his bean squeeze. He pulled her into a hug.
“I’ve been in talks with a major player. He’s agreed to back us at the banquet.”
Tve been too lasy securing dat to deal with anything else.”
“What happened to William won’t go unanswered 1 swear, I’ll make them payr
Pamela knew exactly how to handle men like him.
Stick to his side. Keep him feeling powerful

She took a shaky breath and continued, voice still tinged with tears.
“Derick, I know Cass is involved in this. But he’s your son too.”
“Look, William’s fine now, I won’t dwell on the past. If Cass is willing to throw us a bone, I’d be satisfied”
“Let’s stop fighting. If the three of us can just survive, that’s enough for me”
“If things really get bad, we can always move to the countryside. We’ll figure something out,”
Dericks face darkened instantly.
Countryside!
He was barely sixty, and she was already talking about retirement?
He wasn’t some washed–up old man
Besides, after this, Cassius would lose everything.
Whether Cassins could even stay in N.L. City would be
Lipa ta
As for heirs?
He could always have another young body.
There was no need to live like some fugitive
And more than that
Cassis had made his move. He sent someone to destroy William. That was an act of war. A clean break.
No more father son sentiment.
“That traitor is finished. Everything I have belongs to William!”
“The man I brought in is from Espring Island. A global leader in AL”
Tve already bought the shares. 1 just leaked the news to the press.”
He pulled out his phone, checking the stock prices.
“Look–tripled already!”
Parmela, who had been studying stocks for years, took one glance and felt her blood rush with excitement.
She had been secretly buying up scattered shares
This was a gold mine
No rush to sell
After the banquet, the stock would hit an all–time high. Then she’d cash in big.
Even if Derick tumed on her later, she’d have enough to protect William.
“Derick, I trust you
She wiped her tears, leaning into his embrace.
“Let’s bring William tonight. Maybe it’ll help him recover faster.”
After all, tonight was a night worth celebrating
Why not have more people witness it?
Derick didn’t object.
Just make sure he doesn’t offend our guest”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on him.”
“Oh, by the way, what about that Drogol
Derick frowned.
He had been so busy buttering up their new backer that he hadn’t followed up on Drago’s mission.
“Just a bunch of nobodies. Even if they don’t show at the banquet, it won’t affect our plan.”
“Alriglu then”
Painela relaxed
As Gemma was wrapping up her shift, a group of new assistants was sent to her department–freshly graduated master’s students.
Brian’s application had been rejected again, though the director didn’t stop lam from studying medicine.
So, as long as the department wasn’t too busy, Brian could come and help.
Which annoyed him to no end.
“Brian, are you going to the Raven family’s banquet tonight?”
Chapter 207) He Secretly Chose a Matching Outfit with Gemma
He nodded.
But at the mention of it, his mind instantly shifted Lowering his voice, he added
“The stock has already skyrocketed in just one afternoon.”
“Looks like the Ravens are confident about their next move.”
He hesitated, then leaned in closer, speaking even sofier
“Gemma, if things get dangerous, conse to ine.‘
Derick had drained Cassius’s funds to buy his shares and even stooped in working with Marcus.
None that the stock was surging, he must’ve found an even bigger play.
But she wasn’t worried.
Cassius seould’ve had countermeasures in place.
“Alright. Brian. I’ll keep that in mind.”
He meant well, after all. She smiled, then went to change.
A long, elegant dress.
It hugged her figure just right, making her already striking features even more mesmerizing
As she stepped out of the hospital, she saw Cassius’s car parked across the street.
Brooke got out and opened the door for her.
Inside, Cassins sat with a laptop resting on his knee.
And his shirt and tie–matched the exact shale of her dress.
Her bean skipped.
She glanced at him, then casually said-
“Nice r
Cassius nodded. “Picked it in match your dress.”
