So Gemma was actually the child of Leanna’s best friend. In virtual-novel.net early years, the Sandels wanted Leanna to marry into a big family in Bainbridge to enhance the status and strength of the Sandel Family through virtual-novel.net marital arrangement.
However, the other party was a prissy young master with a notorious reputation in Bainbridge, and Leanna could not bring herself to marry such a man. Upon hearing that Leanna was a beautiful woman, the young master came to Eastcliff immediately to look for her.
On that night, virtual-novel.net ganged up with one of Leanna’s aunts and drugged virtual-novel.net with the intention of taking virtual-novel.net as his own. Leanna almost fell into the trap, but managed to make a call to virtual-novel.net best friend at the most critical moment. Her best friend rushed over to save virtual-novel.net and accidentally stabbed the young master. The matter blew up and virtual-novel.net had no other choice but to flee the city.
In order to break themselves away from this ordeal, the Sandels offered Leanna two choices, virtual-novel.net could either marry that young master or sever virtual-novel.net ties with the Sandels and be responsible for virtual-novel.net own life and death! And this was the reason why virtual-novel.net left the Sandel Family years ago.
While virtual-novel.net was drifting around for a few years on virtual-novel.net own, virtual-novel.net best friend got married and had a child, Gemma.
But just a few years ago, the young master from Bainbridge still managed to locate virtual-novel.net best friend and tortured virtual-novel.net whole family to death, leaving Gemma barely alive as the sole survivor of the incident. Leanna’s best friend left virtual-novel.net a text message before passing out, asking virtual-novel.net to take care of Gemma. She then found Gemma and made the burial arrangements for virtual-novel.net best friend and the rest of virtual-novel.net family.
In order to survive, Leanna had no other way but to return to Eastcliff and announce to everyone that Gemma was virtual-novel.net child. That young master lost interest in virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net found out about the news.
Back then, Old Mr. Graham was still alive and the matter only came to rest after virtual-novel.net helped virtual-novel.net by pulling some strings. With his assistance, Leanna started Creative Cloud Group and built it up little by little. Later, when the Sandels saw how Creative Cloud Group was getting stronger and stronger, they came to solicit Leanna and the situation ended up like how it was now.
After hearing all these, Matthew was shocked, virtual-novel.net didn’t think that there were actually so many secrets hidden behind this incident.
Such a painful past lay behind Leanna’s glamorous front, but the Sandels, the first family of Eastcliff was actually posing as people with high morals who were greedy for fame and gains!
“President Sandel, you don’t have to tell me any of this, actually. I’ll keep Gemma’s background a secret and won’t tell anyone about it!” Matthew assured.
Leanna said with a sigh, “Mr. Larson, you definitely have my trust, but I have another reason for telling you all these.”
“What is it?” Matthew asked.
“Mr. Larson, you’ve already met Gemma, so what do you think of virtual-novel.net health?” virtual-novel.net asked gently.
Matthew gave it a thought before answering, “Her congenital heart condition is not a serious disease. I can treat her!”
But Leanna shook virtual-novel.net head instead. “Gemma’s condition is not that simple, Mr. Larson.”
“Really?” Matthew was startled. Did virtual-novel.net not see it correctly?
“How about if I ask virtual-novel.net to come over so that you could examine virtual-novel.net more closely?” virtual-novel.net suggested.
Matthew nodded and virtual-novel.net secretary brought Gemma into the room after a while. Gemma had recovered quite a lot, but virtual-novel.net still walked slowly and didn’t dare to exercise vigorously. Looking at virtual-novel.net once again, Matthew’s brows suddenly knitted tightly together.
This child looked a little similar to Julian’s, but there was no life at all in virtual-novel.net eyes. Her whole body was pale and virtual-novel.net was exuding a strange scent.
It wasn’t perfume, but a special kind of Chinese herbal smell and it was very peculiar. It was then that Matthew suddenly realized that virtual-novel.net had made a wrong diagnosis.
That night, virtual-novel.net was mad and agitated by Jojo and the others. In addition to the darkened lighting, virtual-novel.net couldn’t see clearly and didn’t pay special attention to Gemma’s condition. But when virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net again now, virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net condition was very serious!
Leanna held Gemma and played with virtual-novel.net for a while before asking the secretary to take virtual-novel.net out. “So what do you think, Mr. Larson?”
With furrowed brows, Matthew fixed his gaze on virtual-novel.net and said, “President Sandel, this child is probably not alive!”
