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. Honestly
As the students heard the revving of yet another car’s engine, they turned to look at the Lamborghini as it swerved right before them before halting, sending the fallen leaves on the ground scattering all over the place with the force of an autumn gale. The abrupt appearance of the car left everyone at the scene momentarily frozen in shock. “…Is… is that a Lamborghini Reventon…?” The situation was so dream-like that everyone could barely hide the shock on their faces. None of them even dared to blink for a while, for fear that the sight of the luxurious car would simply disappear the second they did. Not only was the limited-edition Lamborghini Reventon a car that was worth at least two million and six hundred thousand dollars, but according to the local legend, the mysterious rich and young man had initially owned a similar car! Now that that specific car had arrived at this specific location, those present felt like they were living out the legend that everyone kept talking
After waving his hand to drive everyone away, Gerald made sure he parked his car properly while wondering to himself what was wrong with today’s society. So what if one was rich? If everything could be resolved with money, then Gerald wouldn’t have to continue searching like this. Shaking the thought off, Gerald then looked at the campus building before heading in its direction to continue his search for a woman with a strong yin physique. What happened earlier was simply a small episode, and Gerald’s thoughts were soon replaced with a slight nostalgia as he stepped into the campus again after graduating for over two years. As the saying went, life was a circle that went round and round. Regardless of whether a person was rich or poor, they would always end up returning to where they came from. True to that saying’s words, all of this had started in this very university. After all, Gerald had first been told that he was the heir of the Crawford family while he was studying he
