Chapter 17"Albert, why hasn't our child arrived yet? I'm worried that something might have happened to him on the way," Elena said anxiously."Is there no news from him?" replied Albert, who was still lying on the bed.What actually happened to Gerald?Elsewhere, Olivia, who was confused about her tuition fees, sat contemplating in the campus garden. She was thinking about ways to earn money to cover all these expenses, as she had previously relied on financial support from her parents."Sigh, it seems like I really need to become independent now and start building a career," Olivia murmured.The bustling campus garden couldn't alleviate Olivia's distress. While opening her phone to search for job vacancies, she suddenly stopped."I better make sure first how much I need to pay for tuition," Olivia said softly as she stood up.Olivia walked quickly to the administration office. When she arrived, it happened to be quiet, allowing her more freedom to inquire."Excuse me, can I know how
In a kindergarten school, Anna was always picked up after school. However, this time, she was puzzled because she couldn't find the driver who usually picked her up. Tired of waiting, Anna walked away from her school and happily strolled down the street.After Anna left the school premises, a black luxury limousine stopped at the gate of an elite school. Fredy quickly ran into the seemingly deserted school with an anxious feeling. His eyes scanned the entire campus, searching for his little master named Anna. However, he did not see the presence of the little girl.Growing more anxious and fearing something bad might happen to Anna, Fredy rushed towards the security guard in the guard room.

"Ma'am, is there a student named Anna Johnson still in the classroom?"The teacher was astonished. "All the students have been picked up
"Do you know where Gerald is?" Zack asked as he approached the crowd of people."Isn't he on vacation? He hasn't been seen for several days," replied a man sitting in the crowd.After learning that Gerald was missing, Zack decided to leave. "That darn kid, escaping from my grip," he muttered angrily.Elsewhere, Oliv still couldn't believe that this semester's tuition fees were paid off until graduation. Oliv wondered who had helped. In her thoughts, Oliv suddenly received a phone call. She checked who was calling, and it turned out to be Gerald."Hey, beautiful, what are you doing now?" Gerald flirted over the phone."I'm thinking about who paid off my tuition fees!" Oliv replied."Are you serious? Your semester fees are all paid off?" Gerald pretended to be surprised.Gerald didn't want to tell Oliv that he was the one who had paid off all the tuition fees. He was aware that he was just a regular part-time employee. He was afraid Oliv would be suspicious of where he got the money, co
Zack was on his way home with his friends. He sat with a straight gaze ahead, while his three friends exchanged glances, puzzled by Zack's silent demeanour."Zack, it's been a while since we went to the club and had some fun," said Tian."True, it's been ages since we drank and danced with sexy women," added Cris. "How about we party tonight?" Tian continued.Zack, who had been silent, reacted slightly to his friends' idea. Indeed, it had been a long time since they had entertained themselves."Brilliant idea. Alright, tonight we'll have some fun," Zack decided.Upon hearing Zack's approval, his three friends spontaneously cheered and laughed together.Tian, busy with his motorcycle from a distance, saw a familiar motorbike. However, the owner's appearance made him doubt his eyes."How can his appearance be so cool?" Tian mumbled.It turned out that Cris also felt the same, but their reactions were different. "Zack, isn't that the nerd?" teased Cris.Hearing Chris mention Gerald, Zack
Alice felt dizzy about her household finances. Currently, all household supplies had run out, and the situation became even more complicated with the arrival of a debt collector demanding payment for the truck instalment. Meanwhile, her husband had been absent since morning and had not returned. Attempts to contact him by phone also yielded no results."Just come back later when my husband is here!" Alice dismissed them, slamming her house door shut.The two large-bodied men remained silent and left Martin's house with a sense of frustration.Alice repeatedly tried to contact her husband, but it remained unsuccessful until she heard the sound of a car stopping in her driveway.Alice abandoned her initial intention to enter the house. She was curious to see who had arrived, thinking it might be Oliv returning.Alice froze, shocked to see her husband sitting in a wheelchair placed on the porch."Dad, what happened to you?" Alice asked, approaching her husband. "Why is this happening?" s
Chris and Tian advanced to attack Gerald, both immediately launching physical assaults. Gerald was surprised without any clear reason as he was attacked so suddenly. Feeling threatened, Gerald began to look for ways to free himself from the grip of Chris and Tian. Some blows hit Gerald's face, but he managed to dodge, not out of fear, but simply to avoid getting more deeply involved in the conflict."Hey, you can only dodge, where's the courage you boast about?" Zack said, throwing punches.Gerald continued to evade, even as Chris and Tian aggressively attacked. Finding it difficult to directly harm Gerald, Zack then pulled out a sharp weapon in his effort to conclude the fight more seriously. Feeling his life in danger, Gerald finally retaliated."Zack, what are you doing? Why do you want to kill me now?" Gerald yelled, trying to avoid.Gerald stared at the small sharp weapon aimed at him by Zack; it seemed that this time, Zack was overcome by great anger."Yes, I will kill you becau
Upon hearing his wife's question, Martin suddenly remembered something and realized his mistake. "I forgot to ask, what's her name?" Martin admitted honestly.Alice became even more upset upon hearing her husband's confession. "Oh, Dad. That's been your bad habit all along," scolded Alice.Martin could only scratch the back of his head, which wasn't itchy.At Gerald's residence. Until now, Gerald still couldn't believe that Zack and his friends had attacked out of nowhere. What he had done remained a mystery to Gerald. While cleaning his wounds, Gerald remembered the sudden disappearance of Anna, who had immediately left home.Gerald was afraid that Zack and his friends would come back to the house for revenge. "I have to leave here immediately, just in case Zack and his friends come here," Gerald muttered to himself.On the other hand, Martha planned to take control of Sarah's wealth by kidnapping Anna, her beloved granddaughter. Martha intended to make it look like a kidnapping case
