Gerald was no stranger to mind reading. As long as a person’s training was less than his, he was able to see what that person was thinking from just a simple glance. That said, when he had earlier bumped into Sherry, he came to learn about the truth about the incident. Yazmin truly was a vicious woman with the wickedest of hearts. After all, from what Gerald found out, death wasn’t off the table when that woman became jealous. Fearing that something would happen to Sherry, Gerald wanted Naomi to bring him to her. From what Gerald had read from Sherry’s mind, it was about a week ago when Yazmin made her appearance before Sherry’s house, even though Yazmin should’ve rightfully been on some kind of business trip at that time. After calling Sherry out, she ordered her to secretly stalk Naomi and attempt to steal the scholarship money. Yazmin even explicitly said that by doing so, she would be able to frame Naomi! Adding that her husband’s subordinates would lend her a hand in secre
“Again, worry not, little girl! We’ll be quick as long as you’re obedient. In fact, I’d even be willing to pay you some cash… if you make me feel good, that is! You’ll be using the money to save a life anyway, so what I’m about to do to you next is going to be a fair trade!” shouted the leader as he dragged Sherry by the arm, causing the thermos she was holding onto to fall to the ground! As the carefully-prepared food that Sherry had earlier cooked for her mother got spilled all over the ground, the leader quickly covered her mouth and began carrying her into one of their cars! Seeing that, the other five men stood at the side as they laughed in excitement. However, one of the men’s laughter was short-lived as he suddenly felt someone grabbing his right ear! Before he could even react, the sickening sound of flesh being torn off could be heard. By the time he screamed in agony, half of his face was already bloodied! Gerald himself casually tossed the torn-off ear to the ground
With all the assailants now lying on the ground, Gerald threw the stick away. Naomi herself immediately ran toward the car to help Sherry up. Being both soft and weak, the scene from earlier had almost shocked Sherry to death. Had those men had the chance to touch her inappropriately, Sherry wouldn’t have had the will to live on with that memory in mind! The fact that she had been constantly forced to do things against her will for a while now didn’t help her mental state. If they had truly had their way with her, then Sherry feared that taking her own life wasn’t going to be out of the question anymore. Regardless, her teacher was now here and the teary-eyed Sherry immediately embraced Naomi while whimpering, “M-Miss Milton…! Y-you’ve been so good to me and yet I… I… I’m such a jerk! A total inhumane, jerk…!” Comforting the crying girl, Naomi simply replied, “It’s alright, I understand… I don’t blame you… After all, you only did all this because your mother had fallen sick,
All of a sudden, the jade charm that Gerald had been carrying around seemed to sense something! Feeling his body tremble in excitement, Gerald knew that a woman with a strong yin physique was around! With that, he immediately began searching around the area. However, the jade’s reaction quickly vanished and Gerald found himself disappointed. He couldn’t just have imagined that, right? “What on earth happened…? Why did it stop reacting so quickly?” muttered the confused Gerald to himself, his disappointment evident. Since the charm had reacted so strongly just moments ago, Gerald assured himself that the reaction must have diminished since the woman with the strong yin physique had left the area. With that in mind, Gerald dashed down the hospital, actively looking around while hoping for another reaction from the jade. However, no further reactions were triggered. By the time he gave up and returned to the hospital room, Naomi had just closed the door behind her. “I think
The very next day, Yazmin headed to school along with her husband. Since Naomi had gotten a man to back her up the day before, Yazmin was definitely getting hers to help her as well. Yazmin was sure that the sight of her husband’s car alone would be enough to scare the life out of Naomi’s man! Humph! Still, Yazmin would be lying if she said that those weird messages and Thiago’s disappearance the day before didn’t have her worried. Even after calling him and his men, none of them picked up, and none of them were at Sherry’s place either. Where could they be…? Though Thiago and his men could get a bit wild while enjoying themselves, she also knew them to be very responsible men. It was near-impossible for them not to return her messages after completing their job. Feeling odd about the entire situation, that was the second reason she was bringing her husband along. Whatever the case was, she knew Sherry’s background well so she probably wouldn’t be a problem for her. It wasn’t
“Saying that he looks below-average is an overstatement for him! With that in mind, how could he possibly be rich? He’s probably just some regular worker somewhere!” Knowing that, Yazmin was beyond sure that such a person wouldn’t ever be able to compare with her husband. Before any of her colleagues could even react, a group of students began screaming out of the blue! Some were even screaming so hard that they seemed close to fainting! “…The hell?” muttered Yazmin as she and her other colleagues turned to look at the front gate to see what all the commotion was about. The second they saw what the students were screaming about, however, the group of teachers immediately widened their eyes before cursing out loud in shock. Yazmin, in particular, seemed more flabbergasted than the rest, covering her mouth in astonishment. “W-what a cool car!” shouted everyone in both shock and awe. The ‘cool car’ they were referring to, was one that cost millions of dollars. In fact, it was
True to their words, the duo that had just descended the car truly were Gerald and Naomi. Knowing that, Yazmin felt as though her entire world had just been flipped. After all, she had assumed that since Naomi probably didn’t have anyone capable backing her up, her husband could easily get rid of her. While it was true that she had met Gerald yesterday, Yazmin simply thought he was some ordinary man who would suffer terribly by her hand today! Never could she have imagined that he would be this filthy rich! Now sweating profusely and genuinely unsure of what to even do next, her heart skipped a beat the moment she saw a police car driving into the school. Though there had only been two police officers the day before, four of them stepped out of the car today. Scanning the crowd, one of the officers glared at Yazmin before saying, “Good day, Miss Milton, and I see that Miss Yallop is here too! There’s been some progress on the case… Why don’t we discuss this in the principal
With the current matter resolved, Gerald and Naomi soon found themselves returning to the hospital to visit Sherry and her mother. Though Gerald stayed for quite a long time in the hospital, he eventually found himself disappointed. It didn’t seem like the person who had triggered the jade charm before was going to make an appearance again any time soon. While he had initially thought that the person in question could be one of the doctors, nurses, or even patients in the hospital, after walking through the entire hospital for most of the morning, Gerald was now doubtful that that was the case. With the middle of the month now dangerously close, he would be lying if he said that he wasn’t anxious. Eventually concluding that the woman with the strong yin physique would’ve shown herself by now if she truly was related to the hospital, Gerald simply sent Naomi back to the school before considering heading to other nearby schools or universities to begin searching again.
