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
“Aren’t you really good at talking? Why don’t you show me how capable you are then? If you can’t even contribute to the family, then both you and your mother will only be able to get a small share of the family fortune!”Rose’s mouth was destructive, just like a cannon.Her fourth and fifth brother’s families used to have a pretty close relationship with Yulia back then.Yulia’s relationship with Rose, on the other hand, had always been strained.Back when Rose was working for the company, Yulia discovered that she had been misappropriating the company’s funds. This led to Yulia personally reporting her findings of Rose to Lady Yaleman, who then proceeded to slap the culprit right in front of everybody during one of their family meetings.Rose and Yulia had been at odds with one another since that very day.She hated Yulia and she eventually began to hate her fourth and fifth brother’s families too.Yuma and Rose were the ones who were in control of most of the company’s resou
Marilyn led Giya up to the third floor.“The clothes on the third floor are all very expensive. Are you sure you want to shop here?” Giya asked with a half-hearted smile.All the clothes in this shop were branded, but the clothes on the third floor were considered the crème de la crème of branded items.This also happened to be the place where many young girls loved to shop around.Even if they could not afford to buy it, they would at least have to be familiar with the items up on sale, just for the sake of keeping up with the crowd.“We can just shop around on the third floor first. If there is something that really suits me, then I will buy it no matter what the price is!”Marilyn replied with a beaming smile.After that, both of them started working their way through the third floor.At one point, they walked into a very popular branded boutique.“Wow! Giya, look! Look how pretty this dress is! I’m gonna try it on! Hehehe!”Marilyn had taken a liking to a long one-piece
She only had about seven to nine thousand dollars with her.“What’s the matter? Is $13,999 too expensive for you?”Gerald asked Marilyn while chuckling to himself.After all, Marilyn was the one who poked his head and mocked him yesterday.Gerald felt the urge to settle his grudge with her today.So, Gerald responded jokingly.“Hey, watch it. How can I possibly not be able to afford this dress?”Marilyn thought how outrageous it would be for a pauper like Gerald to be actually looking down on her.“Alright then, we’ll buy another dress! So, please pack this dress up for us!” Gerald replied with a mischievous smile.The salesgirl was surprised and delighted at the same time when she heard this.“You must be bragging! It would already be great if you could afford even one of these pieces here! Hmph! If he is going to buy two pieces, I’ll buy three! In any case, I’ll buy a piece more than him!”Marilyn was hellbent on winning the little competition with Gerald.“Mom, come here
The salesgirl was taken aback by Gerald’s tone.Even Rose and the others were surprised by his sudden change in attitude.His voice was by no means deafening, but the hostile expression Gerald wore made everyone shudder in fear.“Hmph! You’re still adamant about buying ten of ‘em huh? The cheapest of these clothes cost at least six grand! It’ll cost you tens of thousands of dollars judging by the number you specified. Are you serious about your purchase?” Rose and the others despised the feeling of being intimidated by Gerald.Was he really planning to buy ten of these dresses?Hahaha!They started sneering as they ridiculed him.Bea also tugged on Gerald’s arm as she said, “Forget it. Eldest aunt is right. We will never be able to afford the clothes here. I think it’s best if we leave now!”“It’s okay. I’ve already said that I’ll buy you these clothes! Look, the ones you tried on just now looked A-okay, so why not? Miss, if you will, please help me check how much they cost.
