Chapter 208: Ruin Gemma, Make Mr. Cassius Regret It
“Bang Bang Bang.”
Gemma could hear her own heartbeat pounding in her chest.
She sat in the car, fingers trembling in sync with her pulse.
“Why!”
Cassur voice was as calm as ever.
“You’re my companion tonight. We should match”
- Gemina froze for a second.
She hadn’t even thought about that.
What was she getting so worked up over!
She lowered her head, curling her toes inside her shoes.
The car rolled to a stop outside the kindergarten. Noah hopped in
As she picked him up, another class was dismissed.
Alijah was at the front of the group, so he saw her instantly,
His eyes darkened with resentment.
Why the hell was Gemma holding that lile bastard2i
Just because he didn’t want her, she was running off to play mommy for some random kid?
How pathetic.
But before he could say a word. Gemma had already gotten in the car and driven off, leaving him standing there.
Marcus was running late today.
Mabel had somehow managed to get her hands on an invitation to the Raven family’s event.
He didn’t care what Margaret thought, but he had to show Derick some respect
So, he had no choice but to stop by the old house to pick Mabel up first
By the time he arrived at the kindergarten, most of the kids were gone. Only a few were still waiting for their parents.
Mabel stepped out of the car and walked straight to Alijah
She pulled out the snacks she’d prepared, dumping them all into his hands.
The remaining kids, seeing the treats, immediately crowded around.
Alijah’s confidence shot up. He handed out the snacks, basking in the praise of his classmates.
For a moment, he felt like the king of the kindergarten.
Suddenly, neither Mia nor his other friends seemed all that important.
When the kids had all left, he grabbed Mabel’s hand, ready to go.
His attitude toward her had gone back to how it used to he
“Mabel, you’re amazing. You made me the coolest kid in school in an instant”
Mabel smiled slightly
It was just some snacks -kids were easy to impress
By tomorrow, they’d probably forget.
But she did that. Instead, she nodded in agreement
“It’s nothing. If you ever need help, just come to me. As long as I can do it, I will.”
Algal thought for a moment, then looked at her belly.
“Mabel, Grandina said you have a baby brother in there. When he’s born, will you still be nice to me?”
Mabel smiled sweetly, though in her heart, she was already preparing for the day he’d have to step aside for her son.
“Of course! Both your little brother and I will love you very much. That just means there’ll be one more person in the world who loves you” Alijah grinned from ear to ea
“Mabel, you’re the best Why
y aren’t you my mum yet?!”

Mabel sighed.
“I don’t have that right. Your parents will get back together. In the future, I’ll only be able to visit you now and then.”
“No way! I want you!”
Alijah panicked “Mabel, 1 want to see you every day
Mabel hesitated. “But your dad still wants me to leave.”
“I don’t want you to leave.”
“But you’re too young to make that decision
That hit a nerve.
Alijah’s little face turned red with anger. “I’ll be stronger than my dad! I’ll make sure you stay!”
Mabel smirked inside.
As long as she could drive a wedge between father and son, she was paving the way for her child.
The medicine her friend prepared was ready. She just needed the right moment to make Marcus drink it
After that, the Wilsons would only have two heirs–Alijah and her ubum son
And once the baby was born, there’d be no reason for Alijah to exist either..
Then…
All the Wilson forine would be hers.
The two got in the car, with Alijah sitting between them
The ride had been uncomfortably silent, but with a child there, the tension lifted a bit..
It was suddenly easier to breathe.
Mabel exhaled in relief,
Tonight, Marcus wouldn’t be able to turn her down. She was his companion, after all
This was a high–profile business event.
If everyone saw her by his sale, no one would dare set him up with anyone else.
At the kindergarten, the teachers were shocked
“Mabel’s
‘s picking him up again?”
“Is the about to become official
“They fought last time, but I think Mr. Wilson still wants to get back with his ex–wife.”
“Hmph, typical scumbag. He’ll use whoever benefits him”
“But isn’t Ms. Kelestine just a doctor? What use would she be?”
“You don’t know! Mr. Wilson used to have bad eyesight. Ms. Kelestine cured him.”
“A blind man regaining his sight! First thing he’d do is to away his old cane.”
“Scumbag and mistress, a match made in hell”
“Forget them. The Raven family is hosting an event tonight, and it’s being streamed live. Let’s go watch.” “Yeald At least we’ll get to see a bunch of rich people.”
At the Event
The venue was nothing short of extravagant
A massive screen played a news segment about the Raven family.
Derick was being interviewed, announcing that they had secured the support of a leading Al expert. John.
John’s attendance had been confirmed. Not only would he be at tonight’s event, but he’d also be signing a contract with them, The Raven family was about to dominate the Alindustry, expand internationally, and lead the market.
The hall was packed.
People who hadn’t even been invited were hanging around the entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the event. Surprisingly, Derick was feeling generous. He had the staff verify identities and let another batch of people in
Now, the place was absolutely packed.
But the energy was electric.
Gemma’s arrival barely made a ripple. Compared to John, she was insignificant.
She made sure Noah was seated and left him under Brooke’s watch before heading to the restroom.
