Chapter 110 Protest
Laurel was surprised by Gemma’s death.
She had thought that Gemma might have a miserable and tragic life. But she had not expected Avril to
be so cruel.
She understood Gemma. Gemma would never seek death no
matter what, unless…
Laurel turned to look at Avril, who was crying so much that she seemed about to faint. Avril’s eyes were
swollen, and she kept blaming herself, “It’s all my fault. If I had gone to Gemma’s room earlier, I would
have noticed that she was committing suicide, and it wouldn’t have happened… It’s all my fault…”
At this moment, everyone in the Lambert family arrived at the hospital.
After Gemma “committed suicide”, Kermit took her to the hospital, but she had already passed away
before reaching the hospital. Despite the doctors’ efforts; the resuscitation was unsuccessful, and they
declared her death.
Upon receiving the news, Avril and her parents also quickly rushed to the hospital.
They saw Gemma’s pale face, lying motionless on the hospital bed.
Belle pulled Gemma’s hand, calling Gemma’s name over and over again, crying her heart out.

Kermit was originally angry, but now, due to Gemma’s death, he had no trace of resentment. His face
showed guilt and self- blame, clearly indicating that he was also feeling very upset.
Wendy sat on the sofa in the hospital room, rarely without her usual strong demeanor, her eyes were
very red. She kept sighing.
In the room, there was a pe rvasive sense of immense sadness.
Perhaps no one had expected that this kind of thing would actually drive Gemma to her death.
Did Laurel really die from being forced? Laurel took a few more glances at Avril…
She began to doubt if she had underestimated this woman!
Two days later, Gemma was buried.
In Lexingcester, funerals without children are very simple. There are no memorial services. After
cremation, the body is sent to the Lambert’s cemetery, becoming the youngest person to pass away in
the Lambert family.
They came back from the cemetery.
Laurel and her parents sat in a car.
Irvin couldn’t help but exclaim, “I really didn’t expect it, Gemma chose to commit suicide. Although she
was usually arrogant and domineering, her sudden death has left me feeling a bit upset.”
Blanca also nodded, feeling quite regretful. “After all, we watched her grow up with our own eyes.”

Laurel silently looked out of the window without saying a word.
The car arrived at the Lambert family villa first. Blanca got out of the car, while Laurel and Irvin went to
the company together.
“Laurel,” Irvin suddenly grabbed Laurel’s hand.
Laurel was taken aback, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
“Don’t ever think about giving up,” Irvin said firmly.
Laurel couldn’t help but laugh.
So her father was worried that she would end up like Gemma, getting emotionally hurt one day and
choosing to commit suicide.
She said, “Dad, don’t worry, I value my life. No matter what happens, I will never choose to commit
suicide.””
“That’s good,” Irvin sighed, “I really didn’t like Gemma before. I thought she was unkind and lacked
manners. But now, seeing her dead and seeing how upset your uncle and aunt are, it still hurts a little.
I’m really afraid that one day if your were like that… your mom and I probably wouldn’t be able to
survive.”
Laurel’s eyes were slightly red.
She just suddenly thought of the previous life.
In the previous life, her parents really risked their lives to protect her, allowing her to survive in a car
accident.
She suppressed her emotions and said, “Dad, in this lifetime, I

will definitely accompany you until old age.”

“Okay,” Irvin nodded quickly and patted Laurel’s hand heavily, as if giving herself some comfort.
The car arrived at the Lambert Group.
At the moment of getting off the car.
Irvin and Laurel had already recovered their emotions, and the two of them walked into the company
with their heads held high, exuding confidence.
They returned to their respective offices.
Laurel sat down.
Kaylin followed Laurel inside and reported on the work, “Mr. Neale from Human Resources came
looking for you this morning. He heard that you were attending Gemma’s funeral and asked me to pass
on a message. If you return to the company, please go see him. There has been a slight issue with
personnel relocation.”
“What’s the situation?” Laurel raised an eyebrow.
After Gemma died, Laurel went to help with the arrangements for Gemma’s affairs.
Of course.
In fact, she was somewhat surprised and didn’t have much
emotion about Gemma’s death.
She had not been overly kind enough to have pity on someone who had hurt her.

She simply did it out of humanitarianism, accompanying Gemma on her final journey.
And once she left, the matter of sales department personnel transfer naturally fell entirely on Melvin’s
shoulders.
She also didn’t know what had happened in the past few days.
“Collective protest,” Kaylin replied.
So.
It was just a minor issue.
“I posted a message yesterday morning, requesting all employees to relocate their offices according to
their latest positions, and to complete all handover work within today. However, until now, all the
employees who need to be transferred are still sitting at their original positions, still doing their own
jobs, without any intention of making any changes,” Kaylin reported. “Mr. Neale originally planned to
have individual conversations with each employee, but everyone refused to talk to him.”
“Did you find out who was behind this?” Laurel asked.
Everything has a leader. Once the leader is caught, everything will be easily solved.
“Not yet.”
“So for now, there’s no need to do anything, just let them be. We’ll only take action and set an example
once we find that person,” Laurel said calmly.
“Yes.” Kaylin was truly a little in awe of Laurel’s wisdom, and…dominance.

“Also, please inform Mr. Neale about our arrangement.”
“Yes.”
Kaylin left.
Laurel wasted no time and immediately immersed herself in her work.
The phone suddenly rang at this moment.
Laurel lowered her head and glanced at the incoming call.
At the moment when the call came in, there was a noticeable pause in the eyes.
She thought for a moment and then answered the call, “Hello.”
Used an unfamiliar tone on purpose.
“What’s wrong? You deleted my phone number so quickly,” came Bruno’s voice from the other end,
thinking he was being humorous.
“Yeah, Hayden didn’t like it when I had too much contact with other men.”
“Hayden Hayden… How long have you known him? You’re calling him so affectionately,” Bruno
suppressed his anger.
“We haven’t known each other for long, but he has already existed in my life,” Laurel said, not wanting
to waste time with Bruno. “Why did you call me?”
“Can’t I call you if I don’t do anything?”

“I heard you started working at the Lambert Group,” Bruno asked.
“Got business to discuss?” Laurel maintained a distant
attitude.
“Why did you have to be so cold towards me? We had been in love for so many years.”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up now,” Laurel really didn’t want to waste any more time on Bruno.
“Laurel,” Bruno suddenly called out to her anxiously.
Laurel held her phone and still hadn’t hung up the call.
“Can I invite you to have dinner together tonight?” Bruno asked.
“Sorry.”
“Shouldn’t we have clarified things between us? At least give me a chance to redeem myself.”
Bruno’s voice was so humble that it seemed like he was begging.
