“Like hell, I’m going!” Gerald shook his head. “Hmph, it’s fine if you don’t go. Why are you putting up a show?” A female secretary said in dissatisfaction. After that, they went to the desk where Leon was sitting to give him a toast. Seeing that everyone came to give a toast to her boyfriend, Xyla peeked at Gerald coldly, who was sitting there all alone. She badly wanted to enjoy the look of humiliation and uneasiness on Gerald’s face. ‘How dare you reject me that year! Look at the difference between you and me! ‘No, look at the disparity between you and my boyfriend!’‘Do you really think that I invited you out of goodwill? ‘You’re wrong!’ Xyla wanted to humiliate Gerald deliberately. She thought that the humiliation he suffered would be greater if the environment they were in was grander.She usually did not have the chance to experience that kind of pleasure from revenge.On the other hand, Vincy saw Gerald sitting there alone. It became clear to her that Xyl
“I think that Chairman Gordon might have mistaken him for someone else. Or is that guy a driver of some kind of big shot? How is it possible? The most distinguished person who has come here today is Chairman Gordon, isn’t it?” The others started to discuss ceaselessly. “Mr. Crawford, you must’ve been so busy that you’ve forgotten about it. You might have forgotten about me. You don’t know me, but I know you. Haha! Here is my name card.” Chairman Gordon smiled happily and said. Before this, it would’ve been impossible for him to have any kind of contact with Mr. Crawford. But he was the host of this event today, so the tables have turned in his favor. Surprisingly, Mr. Crawford chose to attend this event of his without prior notification.Gerald took the name card and glanced at it. Chairman Gordon was involved in the development of real estate. He found the name of Chairman Gordon’s company rather familiar. “Mr. Crawford, we met each other during Miss Larson’s birthday
Vincy, Lennard and the others were clearly charmed by the Mountain Top Villa which was shown on the screen. “How come there’s a villa like that in Mayberry? Vincy, why haven’t I heard anything about it?” Xyla said in surprise. Vincy nodded in response. “This is the first time seeing it too. But it seems like I’ve heard about a villa called Mountain Top Villa in Mayberry. Apparently, it costs around one hundred fifty million dollars!” “One hundred fifty million dollars?” Xyla bit her lips slightly. “How tremendously rich that person must be!” “This is Mountain Top Villa in Mayberry. Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve seen it now. I think it’s time I reveal the reason behind holding this party today. We have outstanding people and beautiful scenery here in Howard County. My group plans to establish a villa like the one I’m showing here in Howard County!” Chairman Gordon said. The moment he said that there was an uproar below the stage.“If there’s such a magnificent Mountain T
“Humph! I know, Gerald must’ve been weirded out from sitting there all alone. I bet he ran away all on his own! That scaredy-cat!”Xyla seemed to have found something which she could rant on and on about.Vincy only shook her head slightly in resignation. Currently, she wanted to give Gerald a call and ask him where he had gone. But after seeing how infuriated Lennard appeared, she refrained from making that call. Gerald finally knew about the theme of Chairman Gordon’s party that day when Chairman Gordon mentioned Mountain Top Villa in Mayberry. He was afraid that things would get awkward if he lingered around there any longer.It would be bad if the others recognized him. Especially in front of Xyla. Gerald walked out of the hall before crap hit the fan.After all, he went there to have some fun at Vincy’s request. But he still had a lot of things which he needed to deal with, which was partly why he couldn’t stay there for very long.He was about to return to his ro
“I know it, Gerald. Is it because of the two-day outing in Howard County that Marven organized for tomorrow morning? Have the two of you come here in advance?” Mindy asked.“Ah? Oh, that’s right. It’s just that Marven isn’t here yet. I came beforehand just to book the hotel room. What a coincidence to see you here as well! Could it be that you came here early just because you want to sightsee around here?” Gerald took a glance at the bodyguards who were brought by Jasmine. “Marven told me that you liked traveling.” Gerald thought that both Mindy and Jasmine had discovered that he was there to look for the maid too. It was why he acted anxiously for a moment. However, hearing their answer made him heave a long sigh in relief. He then took the chance to get off the hook. “Tsk! What are you talking about? We’re not good-for-nothings after all. We’re just…” Mindy rolled her eyes at Gerald. She wanted to explain herself. But Jasmine shot a glance at Mindy quickly to warn he
“You don’t have to be like that. Ah, to be frank, tracking a thing down is easy peasy. What I’m worried about now is that there’s indeed another group of influential people who shares the same aim as us. As if that isn’t bad enough, it seems that their level of expertise is on par with the professionals we have on our team. That’s what I need to worry about!” Jasmine massaged her brow ridge as she said, “Looks like we’re a step ahead of them. But it’s not as useful as you think. We’re out in the open but our enemies are still well-hidden from us. There’s a possibility that they'll launch a surprise attack at any moment. Worse still, our Fenderson family might be exposed just like that. We don’t even know who they are. That’s why I have been acting gloomy and anxious all this while!” “Haha! Is that so? Now that’s easy peasy. I have a way!” Mindy said happily. “You?” Jasmine smiled slightly. “Hmph! Jasmine, you might think that I’m a carefree girl. But I’m quite smart too. This
“Let’s go. You’re overthinking this!” Mindy dragged Gerald out of the room directly. Gerald was quite curious too. ‘Why? Does Mindy want to meet me? What is this about?’After they entered the room, Mindy signaled for Gerald to shut his mouth. “Mindy, are you back?” At that moment, they heard Jasmine’s voice from the bathroom. After that, Jasmine opened the door and walked out of the bathroom. The next moment, Gerald was stunned by what he saw. He saw Jasmine’s black hair hanging loosely around her neck. At that moment, she only wore top pajamas, and her fair and curvaceous legs were exposed. Clearly, she had just come out of the shower. She was using the towel to dry her hair as she spoke to Mindy. “Ah!” What surprised her was the sight of Gerald standing in the middle of the room, staring at her with his eyes wide open.Jasmine’s cute face became flushed red instantly. She immediately dashed back into the bathroom to hide. Certainly, she had never appeared lik
Gerald then nodded. “Sure thing!”After he left, Jasmine pinched Mindy’s ear. “You! Why you! You wicked girl! Luckily, thank goodness I had my top on just now. If not for that, you’ll definitely!” When Jasmine thought about the awkward situation she found herself in moments ago, it only then did fear start taking hold of her. She had nothing but resentment for Mindy following what she did.“There, there. Didn’t I accomplish my mission? My hunch was right after all. Gerald does like you. I’m sure you’re unaware of it. I mean, his eyes were practically all over you!” “How dare you bring it up again? I’ll smother you to death!” …In a manor. There were around five luxury cars that rolled through the front gates.After that, a group of people filed out of their respective vehicles and headed straight for the entrance of the building.“Master Yael, all the helpers are here.” A person who looked like a butler led the group of people into the grand building. “Master Yael, n
