Gerald had been searching for her for two whole days now. During that time, he had constantly thought about what Xavia had become. While Gerald was angry that she did all those excessive and terrible things to him, he just couldn’t bring himself to hate her. To counter that, he kept reminding himself that the current Xavia was no longer the same girl that he used to know during his freshman and sophomore years. She was a completely changed person. He also told himself that with all the power and wealth he had now, it would be easy for him to retaliate against the two sisters. He knew that if he had really wanted to teach Natasha a lesson earlier, he could’ve just ordered for her to be crippled on the spot. Gerald knew very well that he didn’t need to hold back or even be polite to Xavia any longer. Despite all that, whenever he tried to be cruel toward her, he just couldn’t. His mind would wander back to the times when they were both still together. After all, Xavia hadn’t h

“Well this is perfect! I’ve been looking for an opportunity to have a good chat with you!” said Gerald as he felt himself blush slightly. Gerald was feeling an onslaught of complicated emotions at that moment. “Oh? What exactly do you want to talk about?” asked Xavia with a smug and arrogant look on her face. She then started walking toward him before saying, “You know, I’m curious about something. I’m sure you’re well aware that I’m no longer the same Xavia you used to know. Before this, I could only ever dream about living a life as luxurious as you wealthy people do. To think that that dream would one day become true! I’m now part of a wealthy and influential family, Gerald. You may have humiliated me in the past, but I’m on equal footing with you now. Tell me, Gerald! How do you feel about that?” “I don’t mind it at all. I simply want to make things clear to you. If you think that I’ve let you down and you hold grudges against me, attack me, and only me! Don’t take your reven

Gerald soon arrived at his seat. Even as he sat down, a few of the wealthy businessmen were still not done proposing their toasts to Yunus. At that moment, Xavia looked at Gerald, hinting with her eyes for him to take action. “Just look at what they’re doing! Just wait till my godsister comes back!” said Yoel, dissatisfied. Gerald simply took in a deep breath before picking his wine glass up and walking toward Xavia. “…Bother? What are you doing?” asked Yoel. “Don’t interfere. Mr. Crawford definitely knows what he’s doing!” said Zack though he too was quite surprised when he saw Gerald heading toward her. However, he knew Gerald well enough to know that he wouldn’t be doing this without a purpose. “Ah, Mr. Crawford, you came here to propose a toast as well?” As soon as the businessmen there saw him, they immediately made way for him. They were all the same as Wallace. Regardless of whether they had the Long family backing them up or not, they couldn’t afford to offend G

Aiden’s action caused quite a racket, and several of the present people turned to look at Gerald’s booth. This included the middle-aged man from earlier, though he didn’t say anything. Bosses who founded both regular or karaoke bars here, usually had some sort of background or great influence backing them up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to try creating messes in these places, which explained why the middle-aged man wasn’t too bothered about the trio. While all this was happening, a girl sitting in a booth on the other side of the bar asked, “Eh, isn’t that the guy from before?” Having heard the commotion that had just taken place, the girl had peeked to see what was going on, and she was shocked when she saw Gerald. “Huh? You know one of those people, Tina?” asked another girl sharing the booth. There were nine other young men and women sitting in the same booth, and the group had come to the bar to have some fun. “I do!” replied Tina as she nodded. One of the males in

“…Wait, someone’s walking in front of Tiago… Holy cr*p! Isn’t that the guy who went out earlier?” “He is! He went out to call someone, but to think that the person he had in mind was Tiago! Actually, is that really the case?” Some of the people present inside the bar began discussing the situation through whispers. Others simply stared at the scene, wide-eyed. The only constant was that everyone was currently filled with disbelief. Not long after, a loud rumble could be heard and several loud footsteps soon followed. A large group of bodyguards dressed in black suits entered the bar. Among them, there were also several young men dressed like rich heirs. It was nothing short of an impressive scene. Hugh himself was feeling stunned. The men in black had different dispositions compared to the ones he was used to seeing. Even the group of rich youths seemed like people he would never dare to offend. “Mr. Crawford, the guy I’ve brought here goes by the name of Tiago. He’s Hugh’s
