Chapter 574
Willie knew that Gerald had purposely made him wait for that long. After all, he had made Gerald go through a similarly long wait in the past. While this was happening, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding down the roads of Yanken. It seemed to be heading toward Mayberry. Sitting at the back of the car was a stylish and young, rich woman. To be frank, ‘woman’ would be an overstatement since she looked more like a young lady who had freshly graduated from university. “Are we there yet?” asked the lady as she opened her eyes slowly. She was focused on the scenery outside the car’s window. “We’re almost in Mayberry City, miss!” replied the chauffeur. “Tell the cars behind us to catch up!” ordered the lady after hearing that. The chauffeur then did as she ordered by relaying the order through a walkie-talkie. Behind the Phantom, around twenty Maybach cars followed closely. Any other cars on the road had to make way for this group of expensive-looking cars. “Mayberry City and it

“Could that be Uriah’s car?” By then, quite a large crowd had gathered at the entrance. Even though Gerald had decided not to keep his identity a secret anymore, he still felt embarrassed to have so many eyes on him. It was difficult, to say the least, for Gerald to adapt to all the sudden attention he was receiving. After giving the situation some thought, he decided not to drive into the campus. Instead, he turned the car around and parked it in a little forest nearby, just as he had back then. He then began walking over to his campus. “Gerald?” At that moment, Gerald heard his name being called out and he was shocked when he noticed the petite uniformed girl who had called out to him. The girl was equally as shocked when she saw Gerald as well. After a moment, she smirked before saying, “Heh, what a coincidence that we bumped into each other here!” “You were able to pass the Mayberry University entrance exams?” asked Gerald in return. He really hadn’t expected to meet

By then, Gerald had already returned to the dormitory. When Harper and Benjamin saw him, they immediately rushed over to give him a big hug. “Welcome back, Gerald!” He was very pleased to see them as well. In no time at all, the three of them started chatting and catching up with one another. Gerald had returned to the campus first just to see Harper and Benjamin. He would later still have to head to his company. As the trio continued chatting with one another, the dormitory door suddenly creaked open. Gerald was startled when he saw an unfamiliar girl standing at the door. “Brother!” shouted the girl happily as she looked at Harper. “Hello, Benjamin! And you must be Gerald, right?” “That I am. Nice to meet you! Are you Harper’s younger sister?” asked Gerald. “I am! My name’s Roseanne! You’re so handsome, Gerald!” replied Roseanne with a smile. “Speaking of which, my brother told me that he’s bringing me out for lunch with my new roommates later. Are you coming al

“Oh my god! That was him? We were actually walking together with Mr. Crawford of Mayberry City?!” “Harper, you’re not pulling our legs, are you?” asked several of the girls in unison. “What would I gain from lying to you? Gerald’s always been low-key and we honestly just found out about his real identity quite recently!” replied Harper as he smiled. “No wonder I kept feeling that Gerald was a little too attractive while we were walking together earlier! So he really is the one and only Mr. Crawford!” Everyone continued laughing and chatting about Gerald after that. He was now their main topic of conversation. Harper had planned to take his sister and the other girls around campus to show them where places like the library and swimming pool were. After that, they would be taken to the campus’s cultural exhibition center. It wasn’t long before a few of the girls couldn’t walk any further. After all, Mayberry University was quite enormous. “Stop! I can’t go on anymore! I nee

“W-what? Where is he now?” replied Roseanne as she trembled in shock. “Follow me!” The group of girls then ran after her immediately. When they arrived at the scene, Roseanne saw both Harper and Benjamin bleeding profusely on the ground. “Brother!” “Roseanne! I’m fine but those people… They were ruthless!” Though Harper was used to fighting, he couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear as he replayed the scene from earlier in his mind. When the group of men started beating them up, the duo had naturally tried to fight back. However, Dante was able to lift them with just one hand. After receiving a swift kick from Dante, Harper felt his world turn black. The same went for Benjamin. Neither of them ever stood a fighting chance, and both of them ended up being beaten up badly. “Who’s responsible for this? I’m calling the police right now!” cried out Roseanne. Before she could do so, Harper grabbed her hand first. “Call Gerald, I think those people were after him instead!”

While this was happening, Gerald had just found out about Harper and Benjamin’s situation from Roseanne. After hearing the news, he immediately rushed to the hospital. “What happened?” asked Gerald anxiously as soon as he saw the duo. Both of them had been severely beaten up. “We don’t know much either! We were beaten up by a group of men that we’ve never met before. They seem to be coming for you, so be careful!” replied Harper. Gerald was surprised to hear that. Coming for him? “Who could possibly want to beat me up?” “Brother Gerald, one of our classmates informed us that the one who had instructed the men to beat Harper and Benjamin up was a girl from our department! Her name is apparently Natasha and she’s very domineering!” “What?! Natasha?!” Gerald was now even more surprised. Based on what Harper and Benjamin had told him, the group of men wasn’t ordinary gangsters or thugs. Not only were they skillful in fighting, they had also arrived in Maybach cars! All this h

“We’ve already approached them about the matter. However, they refused to admit to having any part of this!” replied Zack. Whatever the case was, Gerald knew that the top priority now was for him to personally meet up with Xavia so that they could talk things over clearly. “Take good care of them and keep an eye on my two buddies as well. I’ll handle the rest immediately!” replied Gerald. Since all this was happening because of him, he needed to deal with it personally. He wasn’t really afraid of the Long family. To be honest, if the matter was truly urgent, he could just mobilize and use his family’s biggest weapon. Even if the Long family from Yanken was very powerful, Gerald would be able to take them down indiscriminately. However, no matter what the case was, Gerald had already summarized that Xavia only became this heartless and distorted since he had treated her the same way in the past. There was no use crying over spilled milk. In order to proceed, he would first

Though Gerald was aware that the incident had a huge impact on Xavia, he never once thought that it would almost end her life. “That was the worst and darkest day in my sister’s entire life. And it’s all because of you, the infamous peasant! You’re well aware, I’m sure, that everyone looked down on you and nobody would even talk to you back then. Nobody except for my sister. She would hold your hand in school, go shopping together, and even dine out with you! But did you ever consider that doing all that with you would affect how everyone looked at her?” “Hey, hey! Everyone, look! It’s Xavia Yorke! The girlfriend of our school’s biggest peasant!” “That was what everyone was calling her back then. Despite that, she persevered and ignored the mockery just because she wanted to be with you. However, every girl has their self-esteem and one day my sister just couldn’t take it anymore. She felt that she was being treated unjustly and yes, it was the day she broke up with you!” “But
