Hearing Chairman Gordon’s stern voice, Xyla could no longer bring herself to laugh out loud anymore. …Was… Was it really true? Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever she saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take him seriously. It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much? Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him? How could any of this truly be? As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others. The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now. As he left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see him off. Before he was able to leave, Elena whispered something into her father’s ear before sticking her tongue out. She wanted to leave tog
Ignoring Yael’s question for the moment, Yunus then asked, “Didn’t you secretly take several photos? Let me see who else was there!” After being handed the photos, Yunus individually scanned through them before slamming his hands on the table in anger. He had found the perpetrator! “D*mn it all! It really is Gerald! It’s that god d*mned Mr. Crawford again!” Not only had Yunus been repeatedly humiliated by Gerald on his birthday, he had also been grounded the moment he returned that day! All the prestige he had accumulated over the years was gone. Just like that. Yunus hated that person to the core. “He’s Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?” asked Yael who had obviously heard about Gerald before. Hearing Yael’s question, Yunus took the opportunity to detail all his grudges and grievances against Gerald to him. “Hahaha! No wonder everything seemed to be running so smoothly for Jasmine despite not even utilizing any of the men from the Fenderson family! She had such a powerful perso
Upon screeching to a halt right beside Queta, a few people slid the van door open and immediately tried dragging her in! “Queta!” shouted Aunt Fenderson who was already returning from the shop by the time she saw the suspicious van driving toward her daughter. She then began running toward the poor girl who was desperately struggling to escape from her captors. The captors themselves were still trying to drag her into the van. In her anxiety, she bit down hard on one of the masked men’s arms! Shouting in pain, the already strong man then roughly pushed Queta aside, sending her falling straight for the ground! As a result, the back of Queta’s head hit a bump on the side of the road and she immediately fainted from the hard impact. By the time Xara got to the group of men, they were already carrying the now unconscious Queta into the van. In her attempt to prevent them from taking her away, Xara immediately began wildly hitting the men. However, no matter how desperately she
Though the picture itself was quite blurry, Gerald was certain that the person in it was Yunus Long. After all, how couldn’t he recognize the person he had nearly fallen victim to? “That’s him alright. After a little investigating, we found that he first arrived at the Salford Province a few days ago. While I understand that he has his reasons to take his revenge on you, I don’t quite get why he’d follow you all the way here just to do that!” replied Drake as he frowned. Gerald’s immediate response, however, was to punch the wall beside him. Hard. “I don’t care about him or even his motives. All I know is that Queta was innocent in this incident yet she nearly lost her life because of me! Drake, Tyson, I believe that Yunus hasn’t left the Salford Province yet. I need both of you to track him down and capture him for me! Regardless of the methods you use, make sure he doesn’t leave the Salford Province scot-free!” said Gerald angrily as looked at the unconscious Queta through th
“Where are we now?” asked Yunus, his face pale as a sheet. “I’m not too sure either… While we’ve been able to escape from Gerald’s men when we bumped into them on the main road, we strayed too far off and it’s only barren land around us now!” replied the driver, his legs quivering in fear. While they had earlier assumed that they were going to escape just fine, they hadn’t expected Gerald’s men to intercept them out of the blue on the main road leading to Merry City! Thankfully, night was already approaching by then and since the driver was an expert, he managed to eventually shake them off. Though they had successfully evaded Gerald’s men for the moment, they were now also lost. “Why do I even pay you then?! B*stard!” shouted Yunus. They were already far from the city and the gloominess of the surrounding area only served to make Yunus even more depressed. It was around then when the sound of motor engines could be heard in the distance, the cold night breeze further sen
After talking on the phone for a while, the middle-aged man’s face suddenly turned deathly pale. “I-is that so…? I’ve deeply troubled you, Mr. Schuyler! I’ll send someone over immediately!” All the color seemed to have drained from his face as he hurriedly said, “According to the Schuyler family, Yunus has gone missing in the Salford Province!” “…Huh? W-what should we do then?!” “For now, I’m sending someone over there. Tell Second to immediately send someone there as well!” replied the man in an anxious voice. “Second? But he…” “First and I can’t leave. Our only option is to have a family member personally deal with the matter. For that reason, it should be fine for Second to represent the family there. I’ll tell Mr. Hobson to follow him as well!” Hearing that, the woman simply nodded. Meanwhile, Gerald finally arrived at the cliff on his helicopter. The cliff was deep and according to the report from his subordinates, they could hardly find complete pieces of the ca
Xara was Lord Fenderson’s most promising daughter and also the second most prominent figure within the Fenderson family. In fact, her position was even more important compared to Jasmine’s father. Knowing that alone painted a clear picture of how witty and intelligent Xara was as a person. Adding that to her superior intuition, Xara was certain that her father had been the one who had kidnapped Queta, even though she had no idea how he had found her in the first place. “I know the Fendersons very well, Gerald. While several complicated internal matters happen within the family, if my father was the one who had kidnapped Queta, then I can rest assured that he won’t make things difficult for her. The problem is, I can’t say the same about the rest of the Fenderson family members…” “Hahaha! Still… To think that all this stemmed from a fit I threw at him so many years ago! Though I’m sure he regrets it, his temper clearly hasn’t changed at all! Is he honestly still expecting me to
“This girl… She’s as stubborn as her mother! Hmm… Hasn’t Jasmine already located Xenia? That personal maid of Xara’s? Try getting her to persuade Queta. Also, nobody should be allowed to know about Queta being here, not even Jasmine! If word gets out, I’ll be sure to make each of you suffer a slow death! Now leave!” Hearing that, the doctors trembled in fear before leaving quickly. Once they were gone, Bryson slowly stood up with his walking cane in hand before staring blankly at the wall. While lots of things were on his mind, the memory that stood out the most was the time when he had publicly severed relationships with his beloved daughter, Xara. He had chased her out of the Fendersons family, and though he had been extremely stringent when it came to enforcing family rules, he regretted his actions immediately the moment she left. He had tried every possible way to locate Xara. It wasn’t a requirement of his for her to return to his side, but he simply wanted to know whet
