But nothing happened as Gordon feared, instead the Grandsire pleaded with Jerlina to bring him to bed. He insisted that he has more to show to her and Jerlina couldn't refuse him. Jerlina looked at Jeremy and he nodded at her. As much as he wanted to get jealous at Jonathan for trying to steal his wife from him, Jeremy only saw Jonathan as a baby being persuasive in getting what he wants. And she is my wife!

The table became lively after Jonathan Erling started speaking about Aniko Corvin. Jeremy noticed that everyone at the table and even the staff who served the dishes looked like they are seeing something miraculous. Jerlina wasn't looking at others because she was listening to Jonathan. He had a lot of interesting tales to tell about her great-grandmother. Apparently, she was two years older than Jonathan and she was the one who confessed first. Although her family didn't like her to be connected…

Jeremy didn't feel like changing his clothes but Jerlina insisted he changes to a new suit. She had a feeling that people here would judge them by what they wear. And she was glad Jeremy chose to wear a suit. Because otherwise, she won't keep quiet when someone tries to mock Jeremy. "It seems like Matilda hated my great-grandmother Aniko…" Jerlina thought that might be the reason Matilda tried to kill her. "And I bet the Hamilton money is involved," Jeremy watched her changing. That navy blue…

The moment those words left Jonathan's mouth, Matilda started to laugh once more. "Kill me, heir of Aniko," she laughed. "She ruined my grandmother's life, and you ruined mine…" "Slap her for mentioning my Anni's name," Jonathan shouted and he held his chest. One of the guards did what he was told and with blood dripping from the corner of her lips Matilda still laughed. "Why not? Aniko! Aniko the b*tch!" Aniko the-" The guard covered her mouth. "Sire, please don't stress yourself,"…

"You lied to me...!" Matilda started to laugh. "She's alive… she never was dead!" Watching her laugh, Jerlina could hear her heart beating in her ears. She didn't know how that could happen. It probably is because her blood pressure is high since her heart is pounding faster and she could hear the blood pulsating near her ear… Or something of that sort. Or she's ill! But right now, that laughing woman made her anger double. Those desperate state she was in some months ago came to her mind.…

Jerlina placed her hand on her heart and leaned on the wall. This is not the first time he is getting angry on her behalf. His masculine form that exuded his superiority and his protectiveness… It made her heart flutter. She used to think that no one in this world would protect her to this extent. She wouldn't lie. At times, she did feel jealous of Emma for having a brother who would protect her even if she was in the wrong. She did want a brother like him! But isn't having him as a husband much…

"Who are you, man?" the man slurred pressing his finger on Jeremy's chest. "Move…" he placed his hand on Jeremy's chest and tried to push Jeremy back. "Piss off, turd!" Jeremy was leaning forward with his nose almost touching the other person's. His shoulders were stiff and his jaws were clenched. Jerlina noticed his hands fisted and his nerves were protruding. From Jeremy's stiff expression, Jerlina could conclude that the drunkard has offended him. "Joel, let's go," Jerlina, the pacifier,…

Jerlina leaned on Jeremy as they were taken to the airport. This was the first time she was riding a Rolls Royce car. She's been living in luxury these past few days.

But is it wrong to be filthy rich? As soon as they reached the airport, they were welcomed with a red carpet, literally. Neatly suited men were standing…

"Look at him wearing a suit to meet Jonathan… He'd weep if I ask him to wear a suit," Alexander mothered making Jerlina giggle. "You're not my wife's great-grandfather, are you?" Jeremy grinned making Alexander slam his cane on the floor. Jerlina shook her head with a smile. He couldn't help but pick a fight with poor Alexander, once again. She noticed a lock of his hair curling by his neck and she fixed it while he looked at her with a proud smirk. They are about to leave for the airstrip for…
