“I’m really sorry for being late, aunties!” “Don’t be! It’s okay, child!” Harriet smiled at Elena and glared at Gerald while judging him from top to toe. “Nice to meet all of you!” Gerald greeted them politely. “You must be Gerald!” Harriet said as she folded her arms. She already had a first impression of him. He was dressed very casually. Even though he looked decent she could tell that he was from a small village with no fashion sense! Harriet shocked her head. She would never allow someone like him to be his son-in-law! She would not just insult him but also give him a few slaps! “Hi!” Harriet greeted him back. “Hah! Haven’t seen you in a while and you still look the same!” Ruby said rudely. The other cousins turned to their own boyfriends and shook their heads at them. How could their cousin find someone like that? That fashion sense was so bad! Gerald just smiled lightly. It seemed like Amber had not mentioned anything ever since she went back! Though he rea
They could not stop talking and Gerald almost threw the drinks at them. He saw that their drinks were finishing and he decided to get up to get more drinks for them. “I’ll go get some more milk tea so you guys could continue talking!” Gerald immediately stood up and left. After Gerald had left, the two sisters and Elena’s other cousin went to surround her. They saw each other a lot and they were very close. “Elena, what’s going on? Why would you choose him!” “That’s right, sis! This person is so cheap and it’s unbelievable!” “Yes! This kind of person in our school doesn’t get any friends!” “You all really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover you know. Gerald is a great person. He’s loyal and honest but most importantly he has great ideas! Isn’t these the qualities to look for when dating someone?” Elena was feeling helpless. “Elena, you’re too naive! You’ll soon realize that money is the most important thing in the future! But this isn’t a money issue, Elena. Even if he
“I know I know! It was very well known among the rich people a while ago because Crawford’s son bought it with eight million dollars!” “So it’s here! It looks amazing!” “Anyways, Elena, since your family has something to do with Mayberry Commercial Street. Do you think you could bring us to the villa just to have a look at the surroundings?” The aunts were very envious about it. Elena turned and looked at Gerald. He did not reject them and she nodded back at them. They immediately reached the place.Whenever Gerald was not around there would be security guards outside to stop people from going in. They were only halfway through and the guards were already there to stop them from going up. “What are you guys doing here? This isn’t an attraction, please leave right now!” the two middle-aged security guards were really strict. “We aren’t tourists, okay? This pretty lady over here is the daughter of Mr. Larson from Mayberry Commercial Street! Can’t we go in and have a look
“Look at you! Your job is to be insulted!” The securities laughed as they humiliated him. “Mr. Crawford!” Someone shouted. The securities were nervous now. They stopped laughing. What did she call him just now? Gerald? Gerald turned his head. “Rita! It has been a while!” Rita was the designer for the villa and soon she would also be the butler at this villa.Beside Rita was Nyla and a few others. They all met the last time when they were dealing with the villa. “Good afternoon, Mr. Crawford!” They used to look down on him before knowing his identity. After knowing that he controlled the entire Mayberry Commercial Street and he was really low profile, they all thought they should try their best and hope that they could marry him. “My sister was asking about you yesterday but don’t worry. I’ve not said a single thing!” Rita said. Gerald understood because after that day, Cara went back to dine in again and they did not get a discount for the second time. He must
Everyone was dumbfounded. “Who are they, Mr. Crawford?” Rita asked. She was envious when she saw the pretty Elena Larson. Rita did not feel comfortable there but she did not want to trouble Gerald. Gerald can’t actually say that Elena was his girlfriend because it would be another trouble if Mila found out. “It’s a story for next time. They are all my guests so please make some arrangements!” Gerald smiled. “Yes, Mr. Crawford!” Rita nodded her head.Ruby was stunned when she heard what Rita called him. “What? You’re a Crawford? Mayberry’s heir, Gerald Crawford?” Ruby shouted. “Yes, auntie! That’s me!” Gerald laughed interestingly. “Elena, is it true?” Even Harriet was shocked and she felt as if her face was swollen from being ‘slapped’ by Gerald. The poor peasant that had been humiliated by them along their way was Gerald Crawford! Elena nodded her head. Elena’s cousins were all taking deep breaths. Clearly, they had heard about him many times and could not believ
She could not help but feel that Gerald did not only look very refined but the more she looked at him, the more she felt that he was very handsome even though he was dressed so casually. He definitely looked much better compared to her boyfriend in every way!“Um…”Gerald could not take this enthusiasm anymore and left immediately.As for whether he hated them or not, he did not feel anything whatsoever. After all, both he and Elena were just pretending anyway.“Oh my God! Elena, you did not tell me that Gerald was Mr. Crawford! Your aunt nearly offended Mr. Crawford just like how your eldest aunt did!”Ruby clapped her hands excitedly.Harriet was obviously unhappy when she heard this. “I say, Ruby, you were the one who was speaking viciously in the first place, and you are clearly the one who had offended Mr. Crawford. So, how could you say that it is me? If you don’t believe me, you can ask my daughter. Was my tone impolite at all when I was speaking to Mr. Crawford earlier? W
”Huh? Suicide? Why?!”“Hmph! Isn’t it just because she confessed her love to Silas but he did not accept her feelings? After that, the girl could not think right anymore!”“Ah, so that’s what it is. Sigh. It seems as though more and more people are beginning to confess their love to Silas recently. However, I seem to have heard something over the past two days. It seems as though there is a girl who is actually getting pretty close to Silas!”“D*mn it! I am so jealous. Which girl could possibly be so fortunate to be favored by Silas?”“No matter who the other girls are all interested in, I only have one goal in mind, and that is none other than Mr. Crawford! Hmph!”At this time, a very cold and beautiful girl who looked like a goddess spoke up.“Wow! No one can see or touch Mr. Crawford at all! How could he possibly be as glamorous as Silas?”“Oh! Is there something wrong with you? Why are you standing in front of the entrance of the cafeteria and blocking everyone’s way? Don’t
However, it seemed as though Silas was already used to it.“I am just here to accompany one of my friends to have a meal, okay? There is no need for you to make such a big fuss!” Silas replied with a wry smile on his face.After that, he looked at the doorway behind him.At this time, two girls stepped forward under everyone’s watchful eyes and stood beside Silas.“Puff!”Gerald had just taken a sip of the soup in front of him, but he nearly spat the food out at Mila’s face when he saw the two girls who came in after Silas.“D*mn it!” Gerald was shocked.The two girls were naturally very stunning and beautiful, and they were none other than Alice and Jacelyn.“Oh my God. Is that Silas’s girlfriend? Why? Is it just because she is beautiful?”“You are so disgusting! Why are you trying to seduce Silas?”Some of the girls began to scold them indignantly.“She is not his girlfriend. Didn’t you hear what Silas said just now? She is a friend! She is just his friend! That simply mea
