Chapter 1231
Soon after, the very next day came. Despite facing a financial crisis, Noelle’s family still placed great importance in the preparation process for Noelle’s twentieth birthday. After all, Noelle being able to celebrate her birthday happily was the most important thing to her family. It explained how what was initially a tiny birthday banquet ended up becoming more of a large family gathering instead. The venue of the celebration itself was a large private room—that could accommodate up to thirty people—in Longthorne International Hotel that Noelle’s parents had booked for the day. Among the thirty people invited to the banquet were Noelle’s family members, her classmates, her cousins, and several other relatives including her eldest, and third uncle. They were adamant on making this birthday banquet as festive as possible in order to rid their family of their bad luck. “Sister-in-law and Second brother! Both of you are truly blessed to have such a beautiful daughter as Noel

“Hello, Uncle Shadwell and Aunt Wauter!” greeted the charming boy as he quickly headed over to them. Of course, the handsome young man in question was none other than Preston. Preston had been extremely excited from the moment he received Noelle’s invitation to her birthday banquet. Due to that, he had made sure to pay extra attention to how he dressed today so that he could give off the aura of a young master from a rich family. It seemed that his efforts paid off since soon enough, the Shadwell family began praising him endlessly. Because of that, Preston couldn’t help but feel a little smug and arrogant. Shortly after, they invited him to sit at the main table. However, it was at that moment when Gracie suddenly realized that her daughter wasn’t even around. Momentarily pausing her chat with Preston before turning to look at Noelle’s roommates, Gracie then asked, “Speaking of which, where did Noelle and Yulisa go? I haven’t seen both of them in a while!” “From what we

“I refuse! After all, he’s already said that he would come today! As for all that you’ve said, I’ve already taken all that into consideration the night before! That’s the reason why I arranged to meet up with him at the entrance of the hotel!” said Noelle. With her beauty and how meticulous she was with details, it was hard not to call Noelle a goddess. Just as Yulisa had said, Noelle had taken into consideration that Gerald had probably never stepped foot into a five-star hotel like this before. With that in mind, she had a feeling that he would definitely be feeling slightly timid and pressured. Due to that, Noel had told him to meet up with her at the hotel’s entrance so that they could enter together! However, though they had agreed to meet up at nine that morning, it was nearing nine forty now yet Gerald still couldn’t be seen anywhere! In fact, he hadn’t even read any of Noelle’s messages on WhatsApp! Due to all that, Noel truly couldn’t help but wonder whether Gerald rea

From what he found, though Cundrie didn’t really care about money, Noelle still exhibited hints that she had a little interest in riches. With that in mind, Gerald was afraid that once she found out that he was actually rich, her feelings wouldn’t be sincere anymore. Should that happen, even if he were to successfully obtain invigorating blood from her, it would be completely useless to him. That was the reason why he had refrained from driving a luxury car over today. Even Aiden had said that there was no need for him to show her his financial resources. Due to that, the car Gerald was driving today was only an ordinary one that cost around ten thousand dollars. Alas, he truly hadn’t anticipated for there to be a traffic jam this early in the morning! While driving along slowly, the car in front of Gerald suddenly hit the brakes! Seeing that, Gerald instantly stopped his car as well. While he managed to avoid hitting the car in front of him, the sound of something crashing s

As the big burly men immediately surrounded Gerald, ready to assault him, Gerald could tell that this wasn’t their first rodeo doing this. The woman herself was waiting for the thugs to grab hold of Gerald so that she could give him two tight slaps across his face to vent out all her frustration. To everyone’s surprise, the moment one of the men rushed over, Gerald simply launched a swift kick to his stomach, sending the hundred and twenty kilogram man flying a good twenty meters away! Everyone could only stare wide-eyed as the thug collided with the middle-aged man’s Hummer, causing all of the car’s windows to shatter into pieces! As the glass shards scattered across the road, the woman instantly began screaming in shock. Even her husband was flabbergasted by the turn of events. After all, everyone had simply assumed that Gerald was just a poor young man. Nobody could’ve anticipated him to be this powerful! After seeing what happened to their ally, the remaining thugs didn’t

The helicopter blatantly landed on Gerald’s parked car.Dumbfounded!The middle-aged man and woman were both dumbfounded.This was because there were a few big characters printed on the side of the helicopter that read ‘Mayberry Commercial Group’!This man was actually a member of Mayberry Commercial Group, and it seemed as though his status was not low!D*mn it!This was too ruthless!The middle-aged man instantly broke out in cold sweat.“Mr. Crawford!”A young man came down from the helicopter as he respectfully emptied the cockpit.“Mm. You can drive the car back on my behalf. Also, I want you to look into the background of these few thugs beside me before punishing them accordingly!” Gerald instructed as he put his cell phone away.“You can rest assured, Mr. Crawford!” The young man replied as he nodded.As Gerald was about to leave, he saw one of the thugs holding a knife, and he was just about to stab the knife directly into Gerald’s waist.Gerald glanced at the man

The atmosphere at Noelle’s birthday banquet changed as soon as Gerald arrived.This was especially so for Gracie’s emotions. It would not be an exaggeration to describe that all of her menopausal symptoms for the next thirty years of her life had an outbreak at this exact moment.Anyone could tell that her daughter, Noelle, had a very unusual relationship with this young man. As a person who had already gone through all of these experiences before, Gracie could tell that her daughter seemed to be interested in this young man.However, Noelle was very indifferent toward Preston.If Gracie allowed this to develop any further, it would certainly be very troublesome if Preston was offended.Under this kind of situation, as Noelle’s mother, Gracie could not just let this pass without coming up with a solution.She could not simply continue watching as her daughter took one step after the other into an abyss, right?!Therefore, Gracie was in a foul mood, and she was very unfriendly to

It was obvious that everything had been premeditated.“I was initially planning on giving you some leeway, but it seems as though you do not want it at all!” Gerald said coldly as he smiled at the manager.“Gerald, don’t attack him!” Noelle was a little frightened at this time.At this point, she knew that Preston must have secretly planned for the manager to deliberately humiliate and make things difficult for Gerald.If Gerald were to beat the manager up, Preston would certainly have a way to deal with Gerald for his actions, then.Thus, Noelle wanted to dissuade Gerald from doing so.“Attack him? Hahaha! I do not need to personally take any actions against a worthless person like him! In fact, at the very beginning, he was still worthy enough to receive a few slaps from me. However, now, he is not worthy at all!” Gerald sneered.“Young lad, I think you must really be tired of living! Men, come! Throw him out of this place!” The manager sneered.After that, he looked at Graci
