Chapter 79: A Wicked Mother–in–Law Had Her Karma
That dirty dog!
She would kill in!
And Tommy clearly looked a little disgusted.
After biting it, he spit it right out
Then he even made a gagging motion.
It was truly heart–wrenching!
“Mr. Cassius, are you out of your mind?” Margaret shouted with all her might.
Cassius looked calm.
put your hand in a dog’s mouth, and your finger’s too weak to handle it–don’t blame others.”
He threw her words back at her.
Margaret felt both pain and anger. The next second, she fainted.
Cassius waved his hand, and the bodyguard quickly cleared the scene.
He then turned to look at Gemma.
“Want to go to the side room to clean up!”
Gemma glanced at the red mark on her wrist and decided it wasn’t a big deal.
It would heal by tomorrow.
“No need, it’s just a minor scrape. It’ll be fine by tomorrow.
Cassius tightened his grip on the bottle of medicine.
“No, you need to treat it.”
His tone left no room for argument.
Gemma had no choice but to follow him to the rest room.
“Did you get the signal from the watch?”
She glanced nervously at the smart watch on her wrist.
Her mind was full of mixed emotions.
The world was so dangerous, but Mr. Cassius had given her a sense of safety.
Such a huge favor–how could she repay it?
Cassius nodded, his cold demeanor unchanged.
Shawn, on the other hand, was explaining every little detail.
Apparently, he and Cassius had planned to practice archery at the club that day,
There weren’t many people there, and after a while, they were ready to leave.
Suddenly, Cassius‘ phone buzzed.
OMG, you won’t believe it. Cass’s face went totally ghost–white, and he came charging over here like a man on a mission, dragging a whole army behind him.
Gemma, seriously–he looked so intense, I thought he was about to start a fight or something!”
Gemma didn’t know what to say.
Cassius remained expressionless.
No one knew what was going on in his mind.
“Cassius, Mr. Smith, thank you. If you hadn’t arrived in time, I might’ve been sent to a mental hospital.”
Shawn spoke casually. “No need to thank us, we’re all in the same boat.”

Gemma,” “This guy really knew how to talk.
Cassius, with his long legs, walked faster than the two of them.
Shawn carefully tugged at her sleeve.
“Don’t you think?”
Gemma was confused. “Think what?”
“Well, Cass seemed.. really angry.
What?
“He’s always had that icy face, hasn’t he?”
Shawn sighed. “Gem, don’t you think the phrase ‘clueless about romance was made for you?
Gemma still didn’t get it.
“Why don’t you just say it?”
Shawn shrugged. “Cuz I can’t figure it out, either.”
Gemma rolled her eyes. “Then you shouldn’t have thrown out that unsolvable riddle.
Shawn grinned. “Don’t worry, I’ll figure it out.”
Gemma said, “First of all, I know you like to think, but please, stop torturing your little brain.”
Shawn.
Gemma quickly caught up with Cassius
“Is Tommy okay? Why’d you have him taken away”
Today, the little dog had really come through
She was planning to buy some meat for him later.
Cassius still had a blank expression.
“He ate something dirty, needs to be cleaned.”
“Dirty Garraway’s finger?”
Gemma couldn’t help but laugh.
She didn’t feel sorry for Margaret at all.
If it hadn’t been for her luck today, she’d be the one heading to a mental hospital.
Margaret was sent to the hospital.
She had surgery on her finger, which had swollen up almost like a dumpling
The excruciating pain made her even more irritable, and she’d already chased away several nurses
She had contacted Marcus right before the surgery. Now, an hour after it finished, he finally showed
“You actually came!”
“Look at the great work your wonderful wife did!”
She weakly raised her hand.
It was all bandaged up so tightly, you couldn’t even tell what was wrong.
Marcus sat by the bed and sighed helplessly. “I couldn’t get away from the office.”
He had already spoken to the doctor.
- up.
Because they had gotten her to the hospital in time, there was an 80% chance her finger would recover well.
So Margaret’s finger probably wouldn’t be too much of a problem.
“As for Gemma, you kidnapped her, and now you’ve run into Mr. Cassius?”

He was getting frustrated.
The Wilsons Group couldn’t afford to offend anyone right now.
“That dog of his used to be a military dog, with a bunch of medals. Don’t mess with him.”
Margaret’s face darkened.
She couldn’t believe it.
der own son was telli
her not to mess with a dog?
If it wasn’t so inconvenient right now, she’d slap Marcus
*Are you really just going to let this go?”
Marcus asked, “What else?”
Margaret was shocked, as if seeing him for the first time.
Marcus, clueless, went on. “The bottom line is, you kidnapped Gemma, and they just stepped in. If we cause more trouble, it’ll only get worse.”
Margaret’s heart felt like it was being sliced open with a dull knife.
The pain made her feel like she was breathing blood.
“You you
“Mom, don’t get mad. Every time you punished Gemma before, didn’t it just blow over?”
“My finger’s broken!”
“Gemma’s been through worse. She didn’t make such a big deal out of it like you‘
Margaret stared at him, wide–eyed.
Was this really the same son who always stood by her side?
When Marcus regained his sight, she had already started disliking Gemma, always finding ways to make her suffer.
One time, she’d made Gemma climb a tree to pick apples and had the servant shake the tree.
Gemma fell and broke her ankle
But she silently endured the pain, gathered the apples, and left without a word.
“Are you blaming me? Were you blaming me back then?”
She was only trying to get rid of Gemma, to find a suitable match for Marcus!
It was for Marcus’s sake!
Now, Marcus was blaming her?
She almost spat out blood.
Marcus shook his head. “No, I’m just really busy, Mom. Can you let it go for a while?”
He had been practically living at the office, trying to fix the company’s image.
His health was suffering.
But Mabel kept asking when they’d get their marriage certificate.
Now his mother was joining in, and he was getting frustrated.
He arranged for three nurses to take turns looking after Margaret.
“Mom, I’ll come back to see you another day.”
“Marcus, my finger’s broken! You know it’s BROKEN, right? I’m in agony! How can you be so indifferent?”
Marcus rubbed his forehead.
“Don’t they give you anesthesia? Does it still hurt after that?”
Margaret was speechless.
After Gemma’s accident, she’d said it hurt 100.

And back then, Marcus had scolded Gemma for being dramatic.
Now the boomerang had come back to hit Margaret right between the eyes!
