Chapter 432
Everyone was stunned. In their minds, they were all thinking the same thing. ‘…What? That’s such a drastic change! And so quickly too!’ “…Xella, I definitely think that someone’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes to help you… Otherwise, why would your boss even step forward to deal with the pervert in the first place? Investigating the matter doesn’t require the boss’s involvement and yet he still called your personal number to apologize! What more, the pervert’s been fired!” “I agree. You said it yourself that the decision was made by the superiors. Someone must definitely have used their connections to do this!” Rae and the others were openly discussing their speculations now. “I think that’s the case as well. It’s extremely difficult to get appointed as a potential trainee for the personnel department. I can’t help but wonder who has that much power to make even the boss and my superiors take action…” said Xella as she rubbed her temple gently. Suddenly, she fro

He rubbed his hands together excitedly as he asked the question, a smile on his face. “…Eh? Mr. Crawford?” The others in the ward were dumbfounded when they heard the name. This was especially the case for Waylon who had been ready to greet the president and act smugly in front of the others. He was twice as stunned as anyone else in the room. ‘Why did he address Gerald as Mr. Crawford?’ “You know who I am, president?” asked Gerald. He was stunned as well. “Of course I do! Back then when Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, I went to pay him a visit as well. However, I wasn’t able to catch you in time before you left!” said the president as he continued to smile. Thinking about his words, Gerald pieced the puzzle together quickly. When Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, he had bumped into Morgana at the cafeteria. Back then, Morgana was troubled with her issue at work. When he left and met up with Zack later, he had told him about Morgana’s job i

The question had come from Rae. “What did you say? He’s driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?” said Waylon, shocked. Thinking back, Gerald had simply smiled calmly at the side while Waylon was showing off his car earlier. He had thought that it was jealousy, but Gerald was just having fun looking at the fool showing his Audi A4L car off! With the current price of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, that amount of money could easily buy eight or nine Audi A4L cars! “As I said before, I won it as a prize! It’s just a vehicle to help me get around,” said Gerald calmly as he smiled. He then put the jug down and left the ward. Xella had not said anything, but she now respected Gerald more than she ever had. He had simply left the ward once the issues had been resolved without expecting any appreciation at all. In her mind, she knew that even though she had constantly thought that others had been helping her, Gerald didn’t care as long as there were no more issues. Even by the time Gerald

While all this was happening, a sigh was heard. “Tammy, Mr. Quarrington is extremely nervous now. He’s even gone to the police station to launch a report. What should we do? How much longer should we wait here for that Gerald?” Something had happened to Giya and her family and friends definitely knew about it. The one who had sighed was one of Giya’s roommates. They were all now waiting for Gerald at the entrance of Mayberry University. Tammy had agreed to meet him there on the phone earlier. Since Mr. Quarrington had gone to make a police report, Tammy and the others had acted sensibly by going to the university. Informing and sharing what they knew with the university was really all that they could do at that moment. “Let’s just wait for him. He’s the one who knows most about the situation since Giya was last seen at his place. However, he’s not free from being taught a lesson by us later! Her disappearance is still related to him!” said Tammy angrily. The other girls

“I’ve called Felicia and told her about the situation. She’s told me that she’ll try to get her classmate to help us. Hopefully it goes well! With the help of the anchor’s fans, we could finally locate where Giya is! There is strength in numbers after all!” said Tammy. Gerald nodded. He thought that it was a good idea. Normal people didn’t understand the true capabilities of those who worked with mass media and those who treated the internet like their second home. As long as one was willing to research, the information they needed would definitely be found. Gerald called Drake and Tyson to investigate the matter as well. None of them were taking any chances. “Felicia’s here!” At that moment, a black car parked by the road and Tammy’s little cousin hopped out. A handsome man in glasses guided her toward the group. Gerald had met Felicia the other day along with Tammy, so he knew who she was. She definitely knew what had happened to Giya since the moment she saw Gerald,

Yvonne had been working as Felicity’s assistant which explained why she was there. She was clearly shocked when she saw Gerald there. “Don’t worry about it first. More importantly, we need your help!” It felt like ages ago since Gerald had last met Yvonne and Felicity. They had not met face to face since the day he had saved them when they were kidnapped. Gerald felt slightly uneasy talking to them now. “Wait here for a moment. Felicity’s still having her makeup done. I’ll tell her that you’re all here first!” Yvonne wasn’t as mean as she used to be toward Gerald now. A lot had happened since then and it probably really was Gerald who had saved the four of them. Gerald definitely held quite a bit of power and influence. They knew that much. Now, Yvonne wanted to instead try to please Gerald. Felicity clearly had the same thought process. His background was suspicious to them, to say the least. They were in such grave danger back then yet nobody would have been able
Chapter 438
Recently after Felicity had become famous, several men who were both handsome and rich began stepping up to help her. Once, she had a minor fever but even then, a few young and rich men had driven over to her place to send her medicine in person. Some of them would even chat with her every night. Technically, by doing all that for her, those men were already good enough to reach her ‘partner standards’. Ordinary Man himself had not spoken much with Felicity for a few months now. She had never met him in person either. Despite all that, Felicity still felt nothing for the others. It was definite proof of her admiration toward Ordinary Man. She had even imagined how he looked, countless times. However, with every passing clue that she got, it further revealed the fuller picture that Ordinary Man was none other than the person that she had always looked down upon, Gerald. How could she not have complicated feelings about that? ‘Could it really be Gerald?’ ‘If it is, the

“Xavia’s in Yanken?” He was stunned just hearing that name again. He hadn’t heard from her for months. He felt a sudden excruciating pain in his heart. After all, he had been a couple with Xavia for two years. His memories at Mayberry University mostly consisted of both of them being together. However, she had severely hurt his feelings. At one point, Gerald felt only resentment toward her. After he revealed his identity as Mr. Crawford to her, he became quite cold toward Xavia. She received such a great blow from that, that she dropped out of university. Since that happened, any resentment he had for her ceased to exist. He was instead filled with self-reproach. In the past, he had nothing. Yet Xavia didn’t dislike him for that. She still chose to be with him. They had their meals together, and even went shopping together. While it was true that Xavia had changed in the end, she was much better compared to Alice and the others. After all, she hadn’t been disgust
