Gerald grabbed a paper towel as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He felt the sudden urge to relieve himself and started pacing toward the washroom.As he passed by the female’s washroom, he unexpectedly heard the woman and her daughter’s conversation as she repeatedly patted her back.“What’s wrong? Why the sudden nausea?”The woman asked worriedly.“Yeah… This naughty little boy is kicking me again!”“Oh! I told you to be more careful! I’ve always told you to pay more attention to what you do! Why did you have to mess around with a foreigner?”She frowned and scolded.“Mom, don’t say that about Jamison! Jamison isn’t just any ordinary guy. He’s a foreigner from M Country! He promised me that he would come back to look for me in three years!”Gerald, who heard this from outside, was fuming with frustration.He knew that these two women had really deceived him.It felt too good to be true, and everything was oddly in place, but the girl seemed so anxious to get married.S
As Xeno and the rest rushed in; they were welcomed to the scene of Gerald fighting with both women.The three of them were utterly shocked at the sight, quickly intervening and persuading them to stop fighting, which fortunately turned out a success.Xeno knew that if Gerald had really lost his temper, he could be really ruthless and impulsive.No. Actually, half of the woman’s face had started swelling badly after getting hit by Gerald.Xeno and the others hurriedly dragged the two women, still yelling and cursing, away from the scene.He had been given the responsibility to send them home.Sienna could not help but feel a little anxious. What was going on here?Despite feeling uneasy with the whole situation, she still got into the car with Xeno and the rest.He informed them that he would be having dinner with Gerald tonight to get some clarity on what happened.Gerald did not suffer other injuries aside from a stinging cheek from the woman’s slap.As for why he had to ven
He had barely eaten anything, and his stomach grumbled with low groans.It would also be ungracious to turn down Francesca’s kind offer; hence Gerald agreed to join them for lunch. It was then that Gerald received a call from Xeno.“F*ck! Gerald, I am so, so sorry for you. I totally understand now why the fight happened. Let alone you, I, too, felt like giving them a good beating. If it weren’t for Sienna, I would have already given it to them just now. Isn’t this simply equivalent to committing fraud?!”Seemed as though Xeno found out the truth. He was enraged and fuming mad.“Sienna and that colleague of hers have already gotten into a big argument. She wants me to apologize to you. She really trusted that colleague of hers! Who would have expected her to introduce such a piece of trash to you instead? That woman even vomited inside my car! Hmph!”Xeno couldn’t help but feel contrite.His intentions were good—introduce a girl to his buddy to give him a helping hand. On the co
“Know Aunt Lacy and her family, Gerald?”Gerald previously drove a Mercedes-Benz G500 at the hospital, and he even knew the county’s leader. It really surprised Xella.Frankly, Gerald was quite charismatic that day.That said, regardless of circumstance, Gerald was still inferior compared to Waylon and Jacky, who were standing next to her.Waylon’s family owned a huge empire. He had also started his own company and became a boss at such a young age.Although Waylon didn’t drive a car as posh as Gerald’s Mercedes Benz G500, he had higher prospects compared to Gerald.As for Jacky, Xella suspected that he was the one who helped her the last time as the deputy manager of the personnel department.He was a large organization manager, and he had very high standards in the public institution. He was also rewarded with a very high bonus and dividend at the end of the year.Plus, Jacky also owned a business.He was a handsome, eligible white-collar worker.What about Gerald? What els
A waitress yelled at the top of her lungs.“Get lost!!”A man cursed.The next thing everyone knew, the room door was kicked wide open.A group of seven or eight brawny men with buzz cuts and gold necklaces around their necks rushed into the room.Each of them had dragon-like tattoos carved over their bodies. They definitely gave off an intimidating vibe. Clad in short-sleeved shirts, they slowly looked around, staring deadly at the people inside the room at this moment.The leader of the gang had on a T-shirt and a sling pouch bag. He took a long puff before he growled in a raspy voice, “Who was the one who booked this room? I want you to move to another room now!”“Why should we do that? Who do you guys think you are?”Cindy asked angrily as she stood up. She was not afraid of them at all.“Who am I? Hah, girl. I am Warrick Yackel. If you don’t know who I am, go out on the streets and ask anyone about me!”Warrick chuckled as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground
Waylon stood up and yelled.Stunned, Warrick and his guys stopped immediately.“Young man, are you asking for a death wish too?”Warrick pranced towards Waylon, his face grim and black.“Don’t mess around with him! Don’t you know who Waylon’s father is?”Although Xella had tasted the harshest realities of the world in these few years, never had she come across anything like this before. When this incident broke out, the sense of security that she felt in Jacky was gone entirely.Looking at how things turned out, it seemed as though Waylon was handling things better compared to Jacky.Despite being clouded in fear, Xella felt the urge to reveal Waylon’s family background to scare off Warrick and his men.“Pfft! Who is he?”Before Xella could reply, Waylon grabbed her arm and motioned for her to shut up.“Xella, I told you before that I do not want to involve my father in any of my own affairs in the future. Get behind me. It’s okay. I will solve this matter!”Waylon replied.
“Who is causing trouble?” questioned the young man. When Warrick saw the young man, he was shocked. “It’s really you, Jaxon the Great! I am Warrick, and I was just hanging around the area. This is all a misunderstanding!”Jaxon had been invited to sing at a karaoke bar next to Johnsbury Bistro. He initially thought that it would not be right for him not to help Waylon at all after receiving so many favors from Waylon’s family. With that thought in mind, he decided to come over in person to take a look.“So, what should I do now then? Waylon, you’re not injured, are you?”Jaxon asked.“I am not injured, brother! No worries.”Waylon walked over to Jaxon and took out a cigarette before handing it over to Jaxon as he lit it up for him.Just as Jaxon had a few drags of the cigarette, it fell right to the ground. “Brother, what’s wrong?”Waylon asked curiously.“You… you are here?”Jaxon asked as he looked at Gerald, who was sitting down at the table in astonishment.He was v
Jaxon’s respectful attitude toward Gerald surprised everyone. This was especially so for Xella, who was now looking at Gerald with a completely different expression on her face. She had used to think that Gerald only had personal connections with average statused people. To think that he knew such a powerful and reputable individual as Jaxon! What more, Jaxon had even taught the people who were planning to beat Gerald up a lesson. He didn’t give them any face at all! “What a great coincidence! If it weren’t for you, I would already have been beaten up!” said Gerald with a wry smile on his face. He had seen through Waylon’s act. If his guess was correct, then everything that had happened was orchestrated by Waylon. That was probably also the reason why both Waylon and Milo were laughing between themselves earlier. Jaxon simply bowed slightly at Gerald’s comment. What an awkward meal today… Gerald himself already felt full. As for Francesca, after seeing Waylon getting be
