He was not holding his cell phone firmly, and it fell to the ground with a bang, and his cell phone shattered immediately!Gerald had already had this cell phone for more than two to three years, but he had always been very unwilling to change it.At this moment, Gerald felt a little dumbfounded as he picked up the cell phone from the ground.The woman hurriedly said, “I am sorry! I am really sorry, handsome! I did not mean it. I will compensate you for your cell phone!”Gerald smiled slightly before he said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I will just bring it to the shop to try and repair it. Eh?!”However, Gerald was stunned as soon as he saw the woman standing before him.The woman was also taken aback.“It’s you?”“Oh, it’s you!”Both parties exclaimed in surprise at the same time.The woman in front of Gerald looked to be about thirty years old. She was dressed very elegantly and she had long hair, fair skin, a very good figure, and an exquisite face. She was definitely the kind

“Are you the general manager here, Miss Thornton?”Gerald couldn’t hide his shocked expression as he posed Wynn the question. With just a glance at her demeanor, he felt her overbearing female presence, and never before had he felt an aura as potent as this.“Why? Do I not seem like one to you?”Wynn drove along, smirking as she looked at Gerald through the rear-view mirror.“Oh, by the way, you should stop referring to me as ‘miss.’ It makes me sound old. Since I’m only ten years older than you, just call me by my name!”Wynn frowned, looking grumpy.“Alright then, I won’t call you Miss Thornton anymore!” Gerald nodded.“Pfft!”Wynn somehow seemed amused by Gerald’s reply, and she let out a hearty laugh.Gerald initially wanted to have a conversation about Wynn and her family, thanks to a lingering doubt that had been floating at the back of his mind for a while—Minnie’s last name was Thornton.It made Gerald wonder if Wynn had brought up the child all by herself.But since

Since when did he become the most wicked youngster in Mayberry?“Well…of course I’ve heard of him! But I’ve only heard of the good things!” Gerald’s face flushed beet red in embarrassment.“What do you mean by good things? Don’t you know how businesses work? Some time ago, Gerald invested a large amount of capital into Mayberry’s major enterprises. It might have seemed like a power move, but many other businesses in the Mayberry community were screwed as well, no thanks to him. The businesses that received a sudden injection of funds underwent some over-rapid development, disrupting the business community’s balance. Of course, it also posed an enormous challenge to second and third-tier enterprises like us! Many people from the business community hate him to the bone!”Wynn was done talking. Gerald lowered his cutlery and rubbed his nose.Of course, he knew all about those massive investments Wynn was talking about. He represented his sister while investing in those projects, inclu

Now, which socially successful woman didn’t have a man behind her back?After hearing about Wynn’s significant other, Gerald, for no apparent reason, felt a fleeting sense of disappointment.He wished to help Wynn, not just because she was pretty, but also for her child, Minnie, the little girl he had started to find favor in.Perhaps it was because he saved Minnie’s life. It gave him a sense of fatherhood, where he automatically felt the sense of paternal affection each time they met.Things, however, seemed to be more complicated than initially thought.Wynn probably didn’t require his help at all.As for his disappointment, it was because Gerald really thought Wynn was that type of woman. Why then would Minnie say that a man had been coming to look for her!It was someone else’s private life anyway, and it was none of his business.So after buying Minnie her new toy, Gerald brought her back to the neighborhood.Without explanation, Minnie abruptly grabbed Gerald’s arm. He d

To be frank, everything happened due to the things that he did without much consideration, which led to a countless chain reaction of bad repercussions.When Gerald witnessed Wynn being assaulted, he also felt some self-loathing inside, and all of a sudden, his blood boiled.“F*ck, I understand now. Wynn, he’s the sugar baby you’ve been feeding, right? How dare you have the balls to hit me! I’m Damien-f*cking-Rye! Just wait and see, kid, I’m going to skin you alive!”Damien was still cursing at Gerald as blood gushed down his face.Gerald was not afraid of him. He ran up to him, ready to swing his stool.Growing up in his hometown, Gerald has suffered all kinds of hardships. He used to be poor and timid, but he was quite strong.As things started to escalate, Damien dared not stall any longer.He was then continuously smacked with a stool as he wailed in pain. In the end, he managed to get to the door and fled.“Miss Thornton! Are you okay?”Gerald threw down his stool and app

“Geez! I wonder who messed with Damien Rye, I guess it won’t end well for that person today!”The taxi driver was clearly in shock while he was driving.It was apparent that he knew Damien Rye and had heard of his name before.Gerald was a little confused. “Who is Damien Rye and where did he come from? Is he more powerful even than Flynn Lexington from Mayberry Commercial Street?”Gerald asked the driver.After taking a peek at the back of the car, it seemed like Damien did not follow them. Gerald let out a sigh of relief.“Ahem, how do I put it… Flynn Lexington is indeed a powerful figure in Mayberry, he has the entire Mayberry International Inc. behind his back. As for Damien Rye, he’s from the Rye family, one the wealthiest families in Mayberry. He’s the cousin of Henry Rye, the former head of Rye Group. Although Mayberry International Inc. is the first, it’s still a foreign company that has been established in Mayberry for just over ten years. On the other hand, Rye Group is

The mall was crowded.Gerald strolled around, not knowing which brand to buy.He just needed a sturdy phone.In the end, his eyes were locked on a phone model. It was of extremely good quality with a price tag of 2830 dollars.It was arguably an expensive phone.“Miss, may I have a closer look on that new phone? Thanks!”Gerald politely asked the saleswoman.The saleswoman had seen Gerald searching around for almost half a day. From the way Gerald was dressed, she knew he would probably pick a cheaper phone.However, she thought he was just trying to save face.Since he was walking around in a well-known mall, the saleswoman thought Gerald was here pretending to look around. Then, she expected him to act as if the phone was not what he wanted and he would instead buy some 50-dollar miscellaneous unbranded phone and slip away.She had seen too many such people.When the shabby-looking Gerald walked towards her store, she looked down on him.She was surprised when Gerald said

“Whew! Hayward, do you guys know each other?”The saleswoman asked as she smirked at Gerald.Hayward was quite well-known amongst the people in this area.It was rumored that there would be a big development in the west side of Yorknorth Mountain. The village where Hayward resided, Yorknorth Village, will be relocated.In the near future, this area will be developed into a main commercial zone.After becoming rich with the demolition compensation, Hayward was very active around the area.He frequently changes his phone here, hence he got more acquainted with the saleswoman.“Oh, not really. We were just classmates from high school!”Hayward shook his head.Then, he ignored Gerald and turned to Margie, smiling.“Margie, what about that phone you recommended? Can I have a look, I’m going to buy one for each of my friends!” Hayward said.Obviously, the friends he was referring to were Lilian and Sharon.Both girls were beautiful, and they suit Hayward’s taste. But the thing wa
