“…Hold on. X-One cigarettes? I’ve never seen anyone smoking this brand of cigarettes in Weston before!” said Delilah as her gaze fell upon the box of cigarettes that had been thrown to the side. She seemed to be deeply enticed by the cigarettes. “Oh god, this is so embarrassing! I should’ve told that country bumpkin of a cousin to put them away! Miss Delilah’s husband is a very powerful person in M country! What impression would we leave on her once she finds out that we smoke fake cigarettes?” whispered several of the boys among themselves. It wasn’t only the males who bore awkward expressions on their faces, but also the girls. “Excuse me, but could I have one of your cigarettes? I’ve not tasted this brand of cigarettes in a little over half a year now after coming to Weston!” enquired Delilah as she smiled. “Huh? Half a year? Does that mean she was among the first to try it out when it began initial production?!” “It’s over. It’s all over! I’m going to be so embarrassed on
“Classic French? What is even going on anymore?!” Everyone was utterly stunned. Seeing that a top socialite in Yanken was behaving so respectfully toward Gerald, Bea was extremely happy. “Regardless, it’s truly been an honor to meet you here today, Mr. Gerald! I’ll be personally bearing all the expenses of anything you order here tonight!” said Delilah as she politely stretched her hand out toward Gerald. In her eyes, the value of befriending such a powerful figure as Gerald certainly outweighed the cost of one night’s bill. In response, Gerald reached out as well and shook Delilah’s hand before saying, “It’s a pleasure, Miss Delilah!” After Delilah finally left, the room was greeted by an almost pressuring silence. Yura in particular, felt like he had just received the most massive slap in his life. He had been completely embarrassed in front of all the others. “…C-could I… Try one of your cigarettes, Gerald?” asked one of the cousins there as he looked at Gerald. After se
“S-something terrible has happened! A few drunkards have just dragged Bea into their room after insisting that she have a drink with them!” shouted Xoey. Upon hearing that, Gerald immediately dashed out of the room. Right outside, he bumped into the other female cousins who had earlier gone to the ladies together. All of them looked equally terrified. “Where’s Bea?” demanded Gerald. “S-she’s been dragged into Room 103!” replied one of the girls as she quivered. Getting the answer he needed, Gerald ran there as fast as he could. As for the rest of the boys in the room, all of them simply stood in place. While they knew that they didn’t need to be afraid since they were all members of the Yaleman family, directly confronting the drunkards would definitely lead to some of them getting beaten up! With that in mind, many of them began making phone calls instead. Giya herself followed Gerald out with a worried expression on her face. “W-what should we do now…?” whispered the
“Why don’t you come over here?!”It was at this moment that one of Brandon’s rough and stalwart men tried to take advantage of Gerald’s conversation and grab Giya over to their side.However, someone caught hold of his wrist as soon as he reached towards her.The crisp sound of his arm bones cracking followed.The man’s wrist was forcibly bent to an extremely jarring angle.Argh!The person started squealing miserably like a pig that was about to get slaughtered.After that, Gerald grabbed the man’s hair with all of his strength before his head was sent slamming towards the marble wine table in front of them.Boom!With a loud crashing sound, the marble wine table was smashed into pieces with the poor man’s head.Blood poured profusely from his skull as the man convulsed on the floor. “What?!”Suddenly, Brandon awakened from his drunken stupor.Much to his surprise, this young brat was actually stronger than he anticipated. After all, that goon of his was one of his stron
Paranoid, Brandon thought that it was better safe than sorry as he called up Jeremy.Upon hearing him answer his call, Brandon explained his little incident with Gerald to Jeremy in a brief manner.After that, Brandon’s men saw their boss’ face turning paler and paler!“You are not worthy enough to know who he is! However, if you are concerned about survival, I’d advise you to chop off the hands of anyone who touched Miss Bea just now! Perhaps you will be given an opportunity to live then!”After Jeremy said his last sentence in a sympathetic tone, he hung up the phone immediately.“Brandon, what’s going on? What did Jeremy say?”Brandon’s subordinates couldn’t resist the urge to ask when they saw the horrified expression on his face.“Damn it! That scumbag Yura really got me into big trouble this time!”After that, Brandon smashed his cell phone on the ground out of anger.On the other end of this whole incident, Gerald held Bea’s hand as he led her out swiftly. Bea went back
“The Northbay territorial waters is a very large area to cover. It has already been so long. Mila, perhaps she…”After listening to Gerald’s account of everything that had happened, Giya was both visibly shocked and also worried.When Giya saw the dark expression on Gerald’s face, she refrained from saying anything unnecessary.There was no explanation for the emotions Giya was feeling right now.Although she had been Mila’s rival before this, Giya had to admit that she really was a good girl and she really loved Gerald very much.Surprisingly, Giya felt upset to hear that something horrible had happened to Mila.But aside from these sad emotions, Giya also felt a hint of excitement.She knew that it was not right of her to have any other ideas at a time like this. However, it was impossible for her to resist such an urge.Gerald did not stay with Giya for a long time.Gerald appeared to be rather dejected after they started speaking about Mila.He returned to his room after
Bea’s aunts started ridiculing her and sneering at her.Bea’s mother, on the other hand, stood at the side of the room, not daring to speak up for her own daughter. She simply wore an ugly expression on her face.She had already told Bea many times not to come here with Gerald. However, it was clear that Bea was defying her order as Gerald was standing right there!“Third aunt, sixth aunt, he is not my boyfriend. He’s actually my cousin, Gerald!” Bea replied.“What? Ger…Gerald?!”“It’s him!”Silence descended upon the room as soon as those words came out from her mouth.Everyone’s eyes were fixed on Gerald.Although they knew that Yulia had given birth to a pair of children, Jessica and Gerald, after she left, this was the first time that they had seen either one of them in two whole decades!“How blessed and fortunate that woman is to have such a handsome son!” One of the women sneered slightly.“Cousin, let me introduce them to you. This is…”Bea started introducing he
“You have misunderstood me, grandma. I have no intentions of taking any of the Yaleman family’s assets at all!”Gerald replied with a subtle frown.“Hmph! Ever since your mother, that ungrateful daughter of mine left the Yaleman family, all of you no longer have anything to do with the Yaleman family! I have already made it official that I have severed all ties with that girl! Before you proceed, understand what has already happened.” The old lady sneered.Gerald did not say anything at all.Seeing how tense the situation had become, the fourth uncle cleared his throat before speaking up.“Ahem, mom, look. No matter what happened between you and her, Gerald is still your grandson. I for one, think it’s a good thing for the kid to still have some sense of filial piety. This is the first time that he has come back home so I’d advise you to stop scaring him away! Gerald, come here! Since all of the elders of the family are all gathered here, why don’t you come and serve them some t
