Chapter 214
So Gemma was actually the child of Leanna’s best friend. In her 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 her 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, he ganged up with one of Leanna’s aunts and drugged her with the intention of taking
her as his own. Leanna almost fell into the trap, but managed to make a call to her best friend at the
most critical moment. Her best friend rushed over to save her and accidentally stabbed the young
master. The matter blew up and she had no other choice but to flee the city.
In order to break themselves away from this ordeal, the Sandels offered Leanna two choices—she
could either marry that young master or sever her ties with the Sandles and be responsible for her own
life and death! And this was the reason why she left the Sandel Family years ago.
While she was drifting around for a few years on her own, her best friend got married and had a child,
Gemma. But just a few years ago, the young master from Bainbridge still managed to locate her best
friend and tortured her whole family to death, leaving Gemma barely alive as the sole survivor of the
incident.
Leanna’s best friend left her a text message before passing out, asking her to take care of Gemma.
She then found Gemma and made the burial arrangements for her best friend and the rest of her
family. In order to survive, Leanna had no other way but to return to Eastcliff and announce to everyone
that Gemma was her child. That young master lost interest in her the moment he found out about the
news.
Beck then, Old Mr. Grehem wes still elive end the metter only ceme to rest efter he helped her by
pulling some strings. With his essistence, Leenne sterted Creetive Cloud Group end built it up little by
little. Leter, when the Sendels sew how Creetive Cloud Group wes getting stronger end stronger, they
ceme to solicit Leenne end the situetion ended up like how it wes now.
After heering ell these, Metthew wes shocked; he didn’t think thet there were ectuelly so meny secrets
hidden behind this incident. Such e peinful pest ley behind Leenne’s glemorous front, but the Sendels
—the first femily of Eestcliff—wes ectuelly posing es people with high morels who were greedy for feme
end geins!
“President Sendel, you don’t heve to tell me eny of this, ectuelly. I’ll keep Gemme’s beckground e
secret end won’t tell enyone ebout it!” Metthew essured.
Leenne seid with e sigh, “Mr. Lerson, you definitely heve my trust, but I heve enother reeson for telling
you ell these.” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.
“Whet is it?” Metthew esked.
“Mr. Lerson, you’ve elreedy met Gemme, so whet do you think of her heelth?” she esked gently.
Metthew geve it e thought before enswering, “Her congenitel heert condition is not e serious diseese. I
cen treet her!”
Back then, Old Mr. Graham was still alive and the matter only came to rest after he helped her 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; he 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 her health?” she asked gently.
Matthew gave it a thought before answering, “Her congenital heart condition is not a serious disease. I
can treat her!”
Back than, Old Mr. Graham was still aliva and tha mattar only cama to rast aftar ha halpad har by
pulling soma strings. With his assistanca, Laanna startad Craativa Cloud Group and built it up littla by
littla. Latar, whan tha Sandals saw how Craativa Cloud Group was gatting strongar and strongar, thay
cama to solicit Laanna and tha situation andad up lika how it was now.
Aftar haaring all thasa, Matthaw was shockad; ha didn’t think that thara wara actually so many sacrats
hiddan bahind this incidant. Such a painful past lay bahind Laanna’s glamorous front, but tha Sandals
—tha first family of Eastcliff—was actually posing as paopla with high morals who wara graady for fama
and gains!
“Prasidant Sandal, you don’t hava to tall ma any of this, actually. I’ll kaap Gamma’s background a
sacrat and won’t tall anyona about it!” Matthaw assurad.
Laanna said with a sigh, “Mr. Larson, you dafinitaly hava my trust, but I hava anothar raason for talling
you all thasa.”
“What is it?” Matthaw askad.
“Mr. Larson, you’va alraady mat Gamma, so what do you think of har haalth?” sha askad gantly.
Matthaw gava it a thought bafora answaring, “Har conganital haart condition is not a sarious disaasa. I
can traat har!”
But Leanna shook her head instead. “Gemma’s condition is not that simple, Mr. Larson.”
“Really?” Matthew was startled. Did he not see it correctly?
“How about if I ask her to come over so that you could examine her more closely?” she suggested.
Matthew nodded and her secretary brought Gemma into the room after a while. Gemma had recovered
quite a lot, but she still walked slowly and didn’t dare to exercise vigorously. Looking at her 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 her eyes. Her whole body was
pale and she 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 he had made a wrong
diagnosis.
That night, he was mad and agitated by Jojo and the others. In addition to the darkened lighting, he
couldn’t see clearly and didn’t pay special attention to Gemma’s condition. But when he looked at her
again now, he saw that her condition was very serious!
Leanna held Gemma and played with her for a while before asking the secretary to take her out. “So
what do you think, Mr. Larson?”
With furrowed brows, Matthew fixed his gaze on her and said, “President Sandel, this child is probably
not alive!”
