Chapter 101: Mr. Cassius‘ Lies
Marcus felt like his breath had been choked off, as if someone had grabbed his throat and squeezed.
The cold, once slightly arrogant gaze now darkened with gloom.
“You really think that about me?”
Gemma hadn’t expected to be wrong. She looked at him in surprise.
“You came here today to buy Read’s pharmaceutical production line?”
She had once schemed against the Wilsons‘ pharmaceutical division, and though things had been suppressed for now, the risk was still there.
If Marcus wanted this market, he’d need fresh blood.
If the Read family fell this time, and Marcus extended an olive branch, he’d be their savior.
And here she was
The one who had unwittingly broken the deadlock.
It was understandable that he was angry,
“Mr. Wilson, my sincere suggestion is that you should go out at night from now on.”
“I’m afraid you’ll make a wish and, at the sight of the sun, turn into a bubble… which would be kind of funny.”
Her sarcastic smile was genuine,
After all, if one of them had to suffer, let it be the jerk ex.
With that, she turned to leave.
But in the next instantl
Marcus grabbed her arm.
“A small Read family would be worth my trip? I knew you were coming today, so I came specially to find you.”
Gemma was stunned. “Are we still talking about custody? Didn’t my lawyer reach out to you?”
“It’s got nothing to do with that”
Everyone else was focused on Brian and the possible collaboration, ignoring the situation on this side.
And Marcus didn’t care about losing face anymore.
He got straight to the point,
“I came to find you… because I miss you.”
Gemma almost gagged on her dinner from the sheer disgust.
Her expression turned cold.
So, that apology earlier had just been a setup,
The real goal was her!
Just like she’d thought earlier, knowledge had changed her fate.
The Wilsons were a business family—maybe they’d already seen her worth.
So now, they wanted to bind her with emotions.
“Gemma, ever since the divorce, I’ve realized my heart–I only love you.”
“I’m sorry.”
He probably hadn’t apologized to anyone in his life, so it came out stiff and unnatural,
He swallowed hard before continuing.
“I know I was wrong. From now on, I’ll make it up to you, and ensure both you and Ali live happy lives.”
“As for your work, if you want to, you can do whatever you wish. Don’t worry about my mother, I’ll handle her.”
Gemma watched him speak with such sincerity, feeling somewhat dazed.
In her memories, aside from that time when Marcus had gone blind, he had never been this patient or calm when talking to her.
But it was too late.
Some things couldn’t go back.
“I won’t accept your apology!”
Everything in the past was gone.
What she could do was not forgive, not reconcile, and focus on standing strong alone.

Even after lowering himself like this, she still wouldn’t turn back.
He’d make her regret it.
She’d cry and come back to him!
Everyone’s attention was on the special–effect medicine, except for Mr. Hamilton, who kept his eyes on Gemma’s figure. Her appearance was so similar, and she was so gifted with medicine… Was she really not connected to that person?
Gemma stepped out of the Read Group building, feeling the sky blue and the air refreshing.
“Gemma!”
Noah stood in front of a black car, waving his little hand enthusiastically.
Beside him stood Cassius, dressed in the same color scheme.
She blinked, surprised.
She hadn’t told Cassius she was coming to Read’s.
“How did you two end up here?”
She jogged over, a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, her cheeks flushed, her bright eyes gleaming.
She was stunning.
Cassius immediately turned his face away.
“Just passing by.”
Noah pouted. “No way! We came specifically to find Gemma, but Uncle Cassius didn’t want to bother you without your permission.”
Cassius casually took a cup of yogurt from the car.
His hands, which usually dealt with multi–million–dollar investments, were now occupied with a cup of yogurt.
He was really carefully checking the yogurt’s ingredients list.
“I just wanted to ask you about choosing milk for Noah.”
