Chapter 1189
“To be honest, when he hugged me in his arms, I was a little moved. For a moment, I even thought about how blessed and happy that girl that he loved so dearly would actually feel. There is truly such a guy who cares about her this way!”A look of envy flashed through Cundrie’s beautiful eyes at this time.“Sigh. Okay, okay, that’s enough. You should immerse yourself in that kind of thought and waste your energy thinking about all these useless things. I would have been interested to find out more if he was in love with you. However, I think that it would be better to think about Mr. Snyder’s celebration banquet tomorrow instead. I heard that many big figures from Lugaw City and the southern region will be participating in this banquet. This is especially so because he has invited a particularly mysterious VIP to attend his celebration banquet!” Riley said.“You can go if you want to, but I will not be going!” Cundrie flatly refused.“Ahh? You are not going? But Mr. Snyder has speci
Chapter 1190
However, Gerald was afraid that Cundrie would hate him even more if he used money to ask for her forgiveness. The loss that he would suffer would certainly outweigh his gains, then.Since he could simply obtain her forgiveness by doing her such a simple favor, how could Gerald possibly refuse to do so?“No problem!”“Alright, then. Come to our house early in the morning tomorrow before going to the banquet. I will prepare and give you the invitation letter then. After that, all you need to do is act according to our plan…”The Snyder family was a very well-known and influential family in Lugaw City and even the entire Southern Region.There were two main and most influential families in Lugaw City, and the largest and most influential family was the Snyder family. The rumors amongst the locals were that the Snyder family was connected to the dragon vein, and they had connections all over the country.Although the Smith family was strong, they were still one grade lower compared t
Chapter 1191
The loud voice had come from a woman, and it sounded like she was having a fight with someone outside. With such a commotion, everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at the door. Standing right at the entrance, was a woman in heavy makeup who was blocking a youth and scolding him ferociously. “I haven’t forgotten about you beating me up back then! Do you honestly think that I’d just let that incident slide? You know, I had initially thought that you had escaped, so I racked my brains for the longest time, wondering how to find you! To think that you’d actually come to me instead! Come to think of it, you’re even daring enough to attend a grand ceremony like this invitation party! Regardless, you won’t be dying in one piece once I’m done with you!” shouted the woman as she continued glaring daggers at the youth. Meanwhile, Riley—who had been in the house—displayed an odd expression when she saw the youth. While everything had initially been going as planned, a sudden side issue ha
Chapter 1192
Albert had a hint of contempt in his tone as he asked the question while looking at Gerald. The butler’s disdain was warranted since unlike him and the other upper-class people at the ceremony, Gerald stood out like a sore thumb in his commoner clothing. “No, I do not. Regardless, I’m from Mayberry, and I’ve come here today to meet the young lady of the Smith family and hand her an invitation card.” “An invitation card? From whom?” “I apologize, but I can’t tell you the details!” replied Gerald. Gerald was only saying this according to how Riley had instructed him to. Even so, Gerald truly didn’t know who the owner of the invitation card was. After all, not only was it unnecessary for him to pry, but he wasn’t interested in finding out in the first place. At that moment, Riley ran out before saying, “Let him in, Albert! As he’s said, he’s come all the way from Mayberry so he must be here on a mission!” Riley leading Gerald into the place was also naturally part of the pla
Chapter 1193
However, Gerald chose not to defend himself, at least not yet. After all, since both the father and son of the Gross family had openly made a false charge against him during such an important occasion, Gerald had reason to believe that the injured children were currently under their control as well. With how quickly and efficiently they had managed to slander and frame him, Gerald could already tell that the father and son were no strangers to using such vile tactics. The fact that they were able to manipulate the Snyders to get rid of him for them only served to prove his point. “Someone, drag him away and make sure to break all his limbs while you’re at it!” ordered Mr. Snyder in a frigid tone. Seconds later, over ten Snyder bodyguards stepped forward, prepared to deal with Gerald. However, Riley quickly said, “Now, hold on a minute! There must be some sort of misunderstanding here! He’s not one to do such things!” Riley was so sure about this since both she and Cundrie h
Chapter 1194
Cundrie herself felt her heartbeat quicken, utterly shocked by what Riley had just said. She was well aware that Riley was just doing all this in her attempt to dissuade Mr. Snyder from continuing to go after her. With the inclusion of a powerful and influential ‘rival’, they had hoped that Mr. Snyder would retreat after realizing that his competitor was much stronger than he was. However, Cundrie hadn’t expected her sister to actually exaggerate the facts this much! To think that she had even gotten Mr. Crawford from Mayberry involved! Meanwhile, Xyon and those from his family were all silent, not daring to say a word as their legs quivered in their stupefied state. After all, the family knew that Mr. Crawford’s subordinates were all very proficient in martial arts. Since—as Abner had said—Gerald was so strong, that meant that there was a high chance that he truly was Mr. Crawford’s subordinate! ‘Does… does that mean that we’ve offended Mr. Crawford…? Are we going to perpetu
Chapter 1195
After all, Gerald had described Mountain Top Villa in such great detail that it truly seemed like he had lived there before, and not for a short time either. How else could he be so familiar with that place? While Cundrie and Riley were most definitely shocked, the Snyders—and everyone else present—barely had any color left on their faces. Noel’s countenance had changed as well by this point, and he was now looking at Gerald much more respectfully. After all, Gerald had just successfully described everything—in an extraordinarily detailed way—there was to know about Mountain Top Villa. It was evident that nobody else dared to doubt the legitimacy of Gerald’s identity anymore. Now certain that Gerald was the real deal, Noel quickly descended the stage before bowing slightly to Gerald and saying, “So it turns out that we have a distinguished guest with us today! Please excuse the Snyders for not greeting you immediately earlier. We hope that you’ll forgive our mistakes.” Natura
Chapter 1196
After saying that, Gerald himself began wondering, ‘People from my family are coming over…? Who could they be?’ As for the others, many were clicking their tongues as they discussed how weird the turn of events was getting. “Humph! You’d better give it some thought if you aren’t truly Mr. Crawford’s subordinate! I’ll say it right now that I dared to state the possibility that you aren’t working under Mr. Crawford since there was once a case where someone pretended that they were him! After deceiving several people in Northbay, the real Crawfords eventually caught wind of what the impersonator was doing. From that day onward, that person—along with his family—simply vanished off the face of the planet! With that in mind, if you truly are an impersonator, now would be the time to confess! If you do, you’ll at least have a much higher chance of leaving alive!” said the youth from before. Hearing that, Riley immediately gulped in fear. It seemed that the incident had just gotten a lo
