Chapter 1237
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

At this time in the lobby, all of the staff were all dressed up, and they were all ready, solemnly and respectfully. Even the hotel staff were not an exception.All of them had already assembled in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.Everyone was very excited when they heard that the chairman was personally making a trip here today. There had never been such a thing before.The manager, Hazen, had also put on a suit at this time as he stood aside in preparation to greet and meet the chairman.He was extremely nervous at this time.“Aunt Wauter, Uncle Shadwell, I know a lot of uncles from the Longthorne Group. Since they are coming over here, I would like to go down and greet them. Otherwise, if they find out that I did not go down to greet them when they are here, they might actually blame me for being ignorant!”At this time, in the private room, Preston put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke up as he looked at Gracie.“Oh, of course! Preston, you must know of man

“Chairman Wadder, your body is so frail and delicate now. How could you kneel in front of this stinky brat?! I will find someone to deal with him right now!” Hazen said viciously.The chairman was instantly enraged as he stared at Hazen in disbelief. After that, he shouted at Mr. Zillan, “Beat him up! I want you to beat him up until his mouth is all swollen!”Mr. Zillan hurriedly replied, “Yes, sir!”As soon as he waved his hand, several of the chairman’s personal bodyguards hurriedly came forward directly before pressing Hazen down on the ground.There was even a bodyguard who brought a baton over.“Chairman! What did I do wrong?!” Hazen was filled with grievance as he cried out loud.Boom!A loud sound came, and the bodyguard had already hit Hazen on his mouth with the baton.At this time, Hazen’s nose and mouth were filled with blood.Hazen’s eyes were also filled with tears.When the people on the sideline saw this, they were all terrified, especially Gracie and the oth

“Gerald? Are you full already?” asked Noelle as she attempted to stop him from leaving. The subsequent birthday party was extremely hasty if anything, mainly due to what happened a while back. Even so, nobody dared to speak up any longer, especially Gracie who had remained obediently quiet this entire time. “Indeed I am!” “I see… By the way, Gerald, my mom wanted me to ask you what you did for a living…” asked Noelle in a soft tone, though it was evident that she was curious about that as well. After all, everyone had seen how Chairman Wadder treated Gerald earlier. “Me? Good question! I wonder what I do for a living myself!” Hearing that, Noelle simply replied with a laugh. Gerald was getting more and more mysterious by the second… “Actually… Could… it be that you’re the legendary and mysterious Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City…?” asked Noelle again, her voice gentle. By that point, Gracie and the others had gathered behind Noelle. All of them were holding onto their br

The black helicopter—that looked similar to a falcon—was unmanned, and it was currently flying itself toward Gerald’s location through its autopilot system, absolutely stupefying everyone else who saw it. That helicopter… It had to cost at least fifteen million dollars, right…? Did it belong to Gerald? Noelle found herself covering her mouth in her flabbergasted state. Gerald had given all of them his answer without even needing to directly say it. Soon enough, the helicopter touched down and Gerald got into the cockpit. Looking at Noelle from inside the helicopter, he then smiled before saying, “There’s your answer. If there’s anything else you need in the future, just look for Zack!” After flashing her another subtle smile, he then flew the helicopter away without even turning to take a second glance. “…Oh… my… God. He… H-he really was Mr. Crawford from Mayberry! Gerald’s Mr. Crawford! My god, we’re going to be rich! The Shadwells are going to be living prosperously!” sh

Soon enough, a few thousand workers arrived, ready for duty. Since their task was to penetrate the mountain, they had no real choice but to first demolish Mountain Top Villa. Of course, with such a major operation happening, observant people soon realized what was happening. With that, news about it began spreading online like wildfire, causing a heated discussion among those in Mayberry. “Are they really planning to demolish Mountain Top Villa?” “They are! D*mn it! To even consider demolishing that villa that cost over a hundred and twenty million dollars… How rich they must be!” discussed fans of the building among themselves. Regardless, even with so much information about the incident circulating the net, the administrative department of Mountain Top Villa hadn’t seemed to receive any news about the demolition yet. It didn’t help that when Zack wanted something done, he didn’t ever explain himself to those from the subordinate departments. After all, to him, there was no

At that moment, the doors to the villa were opened, and in stepped a few bodyguards, dragging Rita along with them. Rita herself was struggling quite a bit to get free as she shouted, “Unhand me! Unhand me this instant!” “Cease this at once!” shouted Gerald as he immediately began walking over to them. “…Gerald?” muttered Rita in a rather surprised tone the second she saw him. From the moment her cousin had gone missing, she hadn’t met or even heard any news about Gerald. Snapping out of her shock quickly, Rita then thought to herself, ‘Humph… Gerald Crawford… The rich heir of the Crawford family with near-endless wealth… Being so powerful, I had my doubts that you’d still think fondly about my cousin after all this time… Hell, you never even contacted us from the day she went missing! You probably don’t even care about whether my cousin’s dead or still alive!’ Back then, Gerald had only sent Zack over to pacify the Smiths. Relaying what Gerald had told him, Zack told them
