My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins

Chapter 316: The Truth Comes to Light

Gemma was jittery. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ve always had a good relationship with the Hawkins family. Therefore, it’s natural that I’ll know this kind of big matter.”

She straightened her back while pretending to be in the right and said. However, only she herself knew how diffident she was now.

She did not know how many members of the Hawkins family knew this matter. She could only bet that some relatives of the Hawkins family knew it to make Ernest believe that it was those people in the Hawkins family who told her.

This was the first time that Ernest gazed at Gemma in a lofty and condescending manner.

But, his eyes were incomparably cold and it looked like scrutiny.

After he said that he would cancel the engagement that day, he directly left but he was very clear about how was the situation afterwards.

Georgia did not agree to cancel the engagement. Even after he said it, Georgia was still stubbornly continuing to hold the wedding. She did not let anyone know about the cancellation of the engagement except the old housekeeper.

The other members of the Hawkins family did not know about it.

But, Gemma knew it. This absolutely showed that she did not learn about this matter from the members of the Hawkins family. As for how did she exactly learn about this matter, it was a fridge horror.

It turned out that this woman, like the others, did not seem to be as pure and as kind as to how she looked like. She still did something to the Hawkins family eventually!

All the previous fellowship completely collapsed in an instant.

Florence did not know how was the real situation in the Hawkins family. However, by looking at Ernest’s expression, she could roughly guess it.

Gemma had finally shown the cloven hoof.

She secretly sneered and continued, “Is it, I almost forget that you and Ernest used to be a loving couple. It’s because you were infertile after the car accident so Georgia interfered in the love relationship between you and Ernest to break you two up.

Now, you’ve gotten Collin’s help and you can have your own child again. So, after I cancel the engagement with Ernest this time, Georgia let you replace me to be the bride. The love relationship between you and Ernest for so many years has finally come to fruition, should I congratulate you?”

These words were once uttered by Gemma to deceive Florence but unexpectedly, Florence uttered everything in front of Ernest now.

Then, all of her lies were instantly nailed to the counter.

Including her feelings for Ernest and everything she did behind his back.

Gemma’s scalp tingled and she retorted in panic, “You’re talking nonsense!”

Her rebuttal seemed so feeble and pale. She could even clearly feel the cold and sharp gaze of the man next to her.

She was jumpy and completely puzzled.

She turned her head and eagerly explained to Ernest, “Ernest, believe me, these words were not said by me, it’s Florence who has misunderstood. You have always been the one who is very clear about my feelings for you.

Ernest, you must believe me, believe me, okay?”

The more she said, the more afraid she was. She tried to hold Ernest’s hand but he avoided it at once.

Ernest looked at her coldly and one word at a time, he coldly questioned her.

“On the day of the car accident, were you the one who was with Florence on the roadside?”

Gemma abruptly froze. A coldness spread from her scalp to the bottom of her feet.

Ernest was so smart that he surprisingly had already guessed everything before Florence even said what happened on the day of the accident!

Gemma did not even dare to think about what kind of thoughts about what happened that day would he, who never believed in coincidences, have. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

She was afraid. She anxiously explained, “No, it isn’t, I…”

“Miss Marlon, could it be that the person who talked to me on the roadside that day was not you?”

Florence pretended to be surprised while speaking. Her expression, however, was full of teasing and disgust.

If it was not because Gemma deliberately looked for her trouble and even intentionally pushed her, Florence would not have jaywalked and Ernest would not have been injured to such an extent in order to save her.

Florence felt guilty for Ernest who saved her. But, she hated Gemma very much.

Florence’s words indirectly affirmed Ernest’s question. Ernest’s doubt in his mind was confirmed.

He then thought about why would Florence suddenly run the red light. The answer was clear and obvious.

Ernest’s face looked colder and colder. He gazed at Gemma in a manner as if he was staring at a dead person.

“You want to kill Florence?!”

He questioned in a tone as if he was very sure about it.

Gemma was so frightened that her body went limp and she slumped onto the ground.

Her face was full of panic and fear. She was extremely afraid as Ernest was horrifyingly capable that in a few words, he managed to guess her ultimate purpose.

If she admitted it, would she still have a chance to survive?

Gemma hurriedly shook her head and she looked innocent and panicky as if she was the person with the most grievance.

“Ernest, you still don’t know that what kind of person I am? How would I possibly do such a thing. It’s true that I met Florence on the roadside that day and uttered a few unpleasant words to her. But, that was all because Florence was too heartless to you.

I questioned her why she cancelled the engagement with you, why did she treat you like this but for your information, she completely didn’t feel guilty about it. She said she never liked you and she felt extremely annoyed to be with you. If it wasn’t because of the agreement, she wouldn’t even engage with you.

She insulted your feelings for her like that so I really can’t stand it anymore.”

Each sentence was apparently piercing Ernest’s heart.

The matter of cancellation of the engagement and Florence’s refusal had always been the most fatal conflict between Florence and Ernest.

Ernest’s face looked even worse.

Florence was trying to mend the relationship with Ernest now. But, if Ernest misunderstood and kept a distance from her again, what could she do?

She hurriedly went to the bedside and eagerly grabbed Ernest’s hand.

“She’s telling a lie. I’ve never said such words. I’ve never felt annoyed to be with you, I’m actually…” very fond of you…

“Florence, why are you pretending to be kind now? Are you going to go against the words that you’ve said.”

Gemma loudly reprimanded and interrupted Florence.

She pointed at Florence as if Florence was the main culprit.

Ernest’s looked at Florence’s small hand that was holding his hand tightly and then looked at her face that obviously looked nervous.

His voice was extremely deep and low, “Actually what?”

What he cared about was only the answer.

Florence’s heart instantly throbbed wildly. She did not expect that after Gemma had said so many things in front of Ernest, he surprisingly still could ignore everything and bring back the original topic.

And this answer was not only important to him but also very important to her.

Gemma apparently knew what was Florence going to say so she was even more panicky. If Florence really said it, perhaps there would be no wiggle room and no chance for her anymore.

If she was suspected, it was impossible for her to approach Ernest and was even more impossible for her to be together with Ernest.

She spoke anxiously, “Could it be that you still want to say that you actually like Ernest?”

Florence frowned. The true meaning of these words changed when they came out of Gemma’s mouth.

Gemma sneered sarcastically, “Florence, you’ve really resorted to every conceivable means. In order to deal with me, you can even tell this kind of despicable lie. If you like Ernest, why were you so insistent on cancelling the marriage before? Now, an accident has happened and you change your mind and say that you like Ernest, do you think anyone will believe you?”

These sentences of sarcasm let Florence’s words that clogged in her throat have a thousand pounds of weight.
