The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes filled with curiosity.To be honest, she was somewhat looking down at Gerald when she saw the ordinary clothes Gerald was wearing. His sense of fashion was a bit countryside-like.When they heard of her question.There was a minute of awkwardness between Willie and Leia.Especially Leia.It was just a second ago that Willie said he had an urgent matter to handle and he would be having a meeting soon. They were hoping Gerald would not stay for lunch.And then her daughter jumped out of nowhere and popped this question.This made things much more difficult for Willie and Leia.If only their daughter had come out a little later, Gerald would have left by now!“Oh, Leila, have you forgotten, he’s Uncle Dylan’s kid, didn’t you two meet when you were little?”Leia said with an awkward tone.“Ah I remember, he must be Gerald, right?”The girl replied.“You still remember me, I’m Gerald! It’s been years since I’ve seen you, and you’ve gotten muc
Douglas forced out a peal of laughter.“That doesn’t count!” At that moment, Leia smiled as she served the dishes in front of them. Then, she turned to Douglas, “This is Gerald, the boy whom Leila’s father had made a promise to while her dad was drunk. As you can see, Gerald is now well-groomed, and Leila is no match to him, don’t you think so too, Gerald?”Leia asked Gerald who was sitting at the very edge of the table.“Yes, yes!”Of course, Gerald had caught on what Leia’s words meant. He was also afraid that the crowd would draw the topic to himself, so he hurriedly nodded his head.This, however, made Douglas a little scruple.Honestly speaking, he had liked Leila for quite some time now, but he had not confessed his feelings to her. The two of them had always been in an ambiguous relationship.But then, Mrs. Jung said that the boy whom Leila was initially betrothed to was also here.Here comes the drama.Everyone else was also looking at both Douglas and Gerald.They we
Because of what had happened, they gave Gerald a good scolding.It made Gerald quite embarrassed.F*cking hell, it was Douglas who did not hold the glass properly, and they were all coming after him?But Gerald understood.Heh.It was down right obvious that the unfair treatment was because Douglas held some special status and Gerald was just a nobody.“It’s not Gerald’s fault, I was the one who didn’t hold the glass properly. By the way, Gerald, you’re not working yet, are you?” Douglas smiled as he asked Gerald.“No.” Gerald shook his head.“That’s not good, didn’t you find anyone to pull some strings for you? Why didn’t you find any?”Douglas looked surprised.“Connections are hard to maintain nowadays unless you’ve strong ones. Just like Leila’s current job, I wasted a huge deal of effort just to find it for her!”Willie said bluntly.He immediately disclosed that piece of information.“I’m good, thanks!” Gerald replied.“Hmm, I don’t think that will be good, let me
Finally, it was Gerald’s turn to get into the car.But there was no space.“Oh, f*ck! Just look. Both of our two cars are already full. We cannot possibly ask you to sit with the girls, right? It wouldn’t be convenient!”Douglas laughed and said after rolling down the car window.He had been deliberately mocking Gerald ever since he heard that he had a marriage contract with Leila and deliberately making things difficult for Gerald to embarrass him.Gerald also knew that the reason Douglas had invited him to the karaoke bar with them was probably for this very reason too.“What’s wrong with sitting next to a girl? I will move in a little. Gerald, come and sit next to me!”Cindy said as she waved at Gerald.Douglas felt a little unhappy at this, but he did not dare to say anything because Cindy was also a beautiful goddess too.“Thank you!”Gerald smiled and nodded slightly before he sat next to Cindy.Soon, everyone arrived at a room inside a karaoke bar.Douglas also invit
”What? He got beaten up?”“F*ck! He got into trouble!”The boys and girls in the room suddenly grew very nervous.Even Douglas became anxious.But he did not panic. He simply replied calmly, “Why are you so anxious? Come, let’s go out and take a look. I want to see who’s the prick that actually dares to touch my buddy!”Douglas then waved his hand and a crowd of boys and girls followed closely behind him.A few of the boys even grabbed a few bottles of beer with them. It seemed as though they were going to start a fight today!Gerald had already expected Yorick to get easily agitated.But he really did not expect him to get beaten up.Everyone had already headed out now. It would not be good for Gerald to continue sitting and drinking in the room by himself. Hence, he decided to just follow everyone out.Let’s talk about Yorick. A group of people were surrounding him in the center of the karaoke bar.He was curled up on the ground and blood was oozing out of his forehead.A
”Louie, who is this young brat? A friend of yours?” asked a man with a dragon tattoo.“I don’t know him, but f*ck! He actually knows who I am!” Louie replied with a laugh.“Douglas, who is he?” asked Leila as she quietly nudged Douglas’s arm.“He is Louie Lourdes. The mine in Serene County belongs to their family. He’s the richest man there, and their family is considered one of Mayberry City’s top-ranking families. His father is also the leader of Serene County’s underground triads. Big Dolph works for him. They are definitely a bunch of ruthless people.”“The few around him are also famous members of triads.”Since Douglas knew many people, he hurriedly explained the situation to them.After listening to his explanation, Leila and the others became even more afraid.They had heard of Louie’s name before.They knew about his great influence and power. In fact, how could they not panic when they heard Big Dolph’s name?“Wow! Buddy! What are you doing here with people holding
“Huh?”A moment of silence broke out in the room. Everyone was staring at the young man who just spoke.Give you face?Who are you? Why would I give you face?The person who just spoke was none other than Gerald.He had been outside the room, watching in excitement when he saw Douglas getting embarrassed and humiliated.It had nothing to do with him, after all.Now, Louie obviously had eyes for Leila, Cindy, and the rest of the girls. He didn’t have many reasons to worry about Leila.After all, even though Leila was somewhat polite to him on the surface, Gerald knew very well that this girl actually despised and looked down on him.There was no need for him to brag or show off in front of her.However, Cindy was also here, and Gerald would feel bad if he really did not care about her.She had treated him well since the beginning, never once despising him in any way. She was also the kind that held no preconceived judgments or prejudice in her heart.Perhaps, it might not
A group of men rushed into the karaoke bar after Drake and Tyson waved their hands.At the same time, in the room.Louie was fiddling with the wine glass in his hand as he looked at his watch and said: “Young lad, it has already been five minutes now. There hasn’t been a single phone call. Are you kidding me?”He laughed as he spoke.The next moment, the room door was kicked upon with a loud bang.A group of men swamped into the room.The bodyguards of the group immediately tried to stop the men.However, before they could even do anything, the bodyguards had already been kicked to the ground by the men dressed in black.Their action and movements were all very swift and violent, like a predator attacking its prey!“Who are you guys?”Louie was taken aback.When he saw the skills of these people and the tough yet mysterious aura surrounding them, Louie knew that these men were not from any ordinary backgrounds.“Mr. Crawford, is it him?”Drake and Tyson walked over to Gera
