A few rich young men waved at Dickson when they arrived. They all seemed to know each other. “Wow, so many friends are here. Come, Elena. Let me introduce them to you!” Dickson said.The youths in question were playing around while eating and drinking, all having a blast. Gerald was exhausted, not in the mood to meet new people anymore. He really needed a place to rest, then find out where Aiden and the others went. “You guys have fun. I’ll be heading to the washroom. You guys don’t have to look for me!” Gerald told them and left by himself. “Is he really just heading to the washroom, or he is embarrassed to let anyone know that he’s from a poor family?” “I know, right! Doesn’t he know what social setting this is? And he’s probably regretting now!” Everyone was talking about him.Elena wanted to follow Gerald, but she knew she had troubled him way too much today. She didn’t want to bother him anymore. “Who was that person? He just went off without saying anything?” O
The bikini-clad girls were playing volleyball by the beachside while Gerald lay down by the chair. He was too tired, and he was not even sure where he was looking, but the girls got the wrong idea. They thought he was staring at them with dirty thoughts. At first, those girls thought it would be acceptable to be slightly exposed to the guys since they were out here to have fun, but the man staring at them was way too undesirable. He even daydreamed while watching them! The girls thought they knew very well what was going on, and they felt disgusted. “Look! He’s so disgusting, and he’s getting excited while looking at us!” “He must be looking at Crystal. Her outfit is more daring than her usual ones today. Even that rich young man over, there was even trying to get a picture of her. Once he heard that she’s very close with Yoel Holden, though, he immediately backed off!” “I know, right? This guy must have a death wish. He probably even has all of our pictures on his phone.
The girls pinned him against the sandy beach. “Don’t you dare offend me, you perverted peasant! You’re finished when Yoel gets here!” Crystal scoffed. A girl handed Crystal a bathrobe to cover up. “Guys! There's some big news. A group of girls is ganging up on a guy over there!” “Huh? What happened?” “A pervert guy apparently staring at the bikini girls playing volleyball. They were unhappy that he was staring, and they fought!” “Let’s go check it out!” People were coming over to the other side of the beach after hearing what happened. Dickson, Amber, and Elena heard about it amid the barbeque and immediately went over.“Elena and Amber, let’s go and have a look. I would really like to see which brother has fallen.” Elena did not want to follow them at first, but she wanted to leave anyway, to check if Gerald had gone back to the hotel. She nodded and followed them. When they reached the other end of the beach, a few girls were sitting on a guy, pinning him down as
Yoel Holden was the son of County’s State wealthiest man. He was also the leader of the rich youths around the whole Gangnam district. Not only that, many young women were fond of him, all hoping they would have a perfect encounter with him one day. Yoel might just fall for their beauty one day, they thought. But these were all pipe dreams as Yoel Holden wasn’t someone they could so easily snuggle up to. The cruise ship blared its horn as it docked by the port. The cabin doors were opened, and down came Yoel with women on his left and right. He wasn’t exactly good looking, nor was he tall, even slightly fat, but the pretty girls kept on shouting, “He’s hot!” Amber was the loudest on their side, hoping to capture Yoel’s attention.Dickson, on the other hand, stared at him in jealousy. He was dying to be him and wished he could become like that someday. Even if he could not turn out like him, turning out as Aiden wasn’t so bad. Being Yoel’s best friend, most men would undoub
”Dickson, could Gerald really be that great?” Amber was shocked. “I’ve only heard about this guy recently, that he has lots of potential. Come to think about it, Holden’s family could only become this successful thanks to Gerald’s sister!” Dickson crossed his arms as he explained it to everyone. “Damn! Does it mean we get to see who this Gerald person is?” Amber was super excited. At the same time, Yoel looked at Aiden. “Aiden, where is Gerald?” he asked. Yoel used to call Aiden by his full name, but ever since he found out that he and Gerald were best friends, he now addressed him on a first-name basis. That said, no matter how he mentioned his name, there was still a big gap between them. “He arrived a long time ago, but he probably just went out!” Aiden was looking all around for Gerald. “Yoel, should we look for him at the hotel? We shouldn’t let him wait since he’s such an important guest,” replied Crystal as she nudged Yoel’s arm. Crystal was all blushing. At first,
“What? He is Mr. Crawford?!”Upon hearing Aiden’s words, the crowd looked toward their direction in shock.Dickson’s eyes widened in disbelief while Amber’s jaw dropped.“Hey man, are you my godbrother Gerald Crawford?” Yoel asked anxiously. He never thought that Gerald would appear just like this. “Yes, indeed!” Gerald answered while struggling to get up. He hissed and took a breath. His body felt numb from bearing the weight of the few pretty ladies who sat on top of him.“Someone, help me up!”“Oh my! Mr. Crawford, Mr. Crawford!”The pretty ladies who were standing nearest to Gerald were stunned. Their screams drowned out Gerald’s voice.Elena felt afraid and was almost shocked at what she saw. Nevertheless, she still rushed over to help Gerald get on his feet.Last time, Elena had offended Mr. Crawford before, but Mr. Crawford was not too harsh on her because of her father.However, this incident seemed very serious. Elena was uncertain as to how Mr. Crawford would be an
Gerald was honestly so done with the ladies. They mustn’t be led off the hook!“It was simple. As punishment, get the ladies to have a volleyball match with us, but in bikinis!” said Gerald bluntly.“What? It is that simple?” Crystal responded with joy.Crystal started overthinking, “Perhaps Mr. Crawford pitied me and took the initiative to make peace? I am, after all, stunning. Which guy wouldn’t be enchanted by me?”“Of course y’all wouldn’t be doing it here! It’ll be at Rivington City’s most popular street!” replied Gerald.Crystal’s mind went blank. Shocked, she let out a loud scream. How embarrassing was that!“Hmph, y’all should thank Mr. Crawford for the punishment! Alright, it’s getting dark now, and many have left. See you at noon tomorrow noon on Rivington City’s most crowded street. I’ll be organizing a volleyball match!” Yoel announced before giving Gerald a nudge, a gesture inviting him to board the cruise ship as well.“Mr. Crawford, I love you! Oh my!” a few girls
Gerald caught interest in Mountain Top Villa, so he wanted Yoel to elaborate on it.“Hehe, brother, how should I say this…” Yoel chuckled before he continued, “Mountain Top Villa is no longer just a simple residential area. It actually represents an honorable identity of sorts. As its name suggests, the villa is located on the highest peak of Mayberry’s cloudy mountain top. The surrounding area has already been made into an estate; as if sitting above the clouds themselves, you can enjoy a birds-eye view of Mayberry City’s mountains and rivers!”Yoel’s heart yearned for this villa.Could it really be as perfect as what Yoel described?Gerald asked, “By the way it sounds, this property must be quite expensive, aye?”Gerald was very determined to buy a house this time. He decided to spend a couple of hundred grand to buy a villa, making it a lot more convenient to store his car and other things. His search for a new home led him to ask about Mountain Top Villa’s price.“What?!” Yoe
