Chapter 581
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

“Humph! That’s enough talk, get him!” ordered Natasha. As soon as they received the order, the men in black immediately obeyed and held on tightly to both of Gerald’s arms. “When will the revenge end?” asked Gerald calmly. “Honestly, I don’t even know when we’ll ever stop but that’s beside the point. Don’t even dream of leaving this room tonight!” sneered Natasha. “Is that so? Actually, Natasha, did your sister ever tell you that this street used to be called Mayberry Commercial Street? And that the bosses of these shops all know who I am?” “Of course she has! But did you know that my sister’s bought this bar? The bar’s boss is just my little b*tch now! Bet you didn’t think that far ahead, did you?” replied Natasha proudly before walking toward him and giving him a tight slap on the face. “That’s for my sister. You’ve made her suffer for far too long. Today, I’m letting you have a taste of what she experienced after all this time!” Natasha was going to look for him even if

“I-I don’t know where she is! She only came to the school to visit me once. Other than that, we’ve only communicated through the phone!” cried out Natasha. “Call her then!” ordered Gerald. He had to meet up and deal with Xavia as soon as he could. Gerald couldn’t have her troubling him all the time. ‘If I’ve done anything wrong to you, take your revenge on me! Your mistake was hurting those close to me,’ Gerald thought to himself. He just couldn’t stand people like that. As Natasha reached for her phone, she kept signaling to her subordinates—using her eyes—to take down Gerald and the duo. However, none of the guards even dared to move. They all knew how strong Gerald’s people were so they didn’t do anything. Only people like Scorpion would be able to deal with Tyson and Drake. Understanding that they weren’t going to act, Natasha could only hand over her phone to Gerald in defeat. Gerald quickly found Xavia’s numb
Chapter 584
Back then, Gerald knew little about Maia aside from the fact that she was the team captain. The only other things he knew was that she was very close to her grandfather and her parents were in politics. This resulted in her growing up in a rather lavish environment. He also knew that while she and her family were locals, after the final examination, all of them moved to Mayberry. Though Gerald was excellent in his studies, he was never good enough for Maia. She would only talk to him as the captain whenever they were representing the school in a competition. Outside that, they weren’t close at all. Gerald on the other hand, had a very good impression of her since she was both hardworking and capable. To top it off, she was also very pretty and she had good tastes too. In short, she was a goddess to his past self. Many guys had tried to befriend her but she would only befriend those who had their own ‘specialties’. Such ‘specialties’ included either being rich or having a po

She gestured with a finger for him to come closer. Gerald really didn’t want to go over to them after being ordered like that. After all, he was no longer the same person he used to be. He didn’t need to listen to her orders anymore. He remembered snippets where she would order him to do things like this in the past. “Gerald, have you moved those boxes of mineral water?” “Gerald, go help everyone else with their luggage!” …Maybe that was why Maia was so used to ordering him around. Eventually, though he was left speechless, he found himself walking toward the group. “Haha! So it really is true! Gerald really listens to you!” “As if he would dare not to! Not only was she his team captain in high school, she’s now a cop too! He has to listen or he’ll be locked up!” joked another girl. “Anyway, say Gerald, I heard that you’re still pretty poor. How did you afford to drink at this bar? Did you get rich or something?” asked Maia. She had been curious about this from the mo

“One of them definitely seemed to be his high school classmate. Why?” asked Tyson. “Well, from the looks of it, they either graduated from the police academy or they’ve undergone some military training,” said Drake as he took a few puffs of his cigarette. “Both of you are really something… It’s amazing how much you can find out about a person just by looking at them. Her name is Maia and she graduated from the police academy. She’s now part of the police force’s criminal department and she’s pretty good at her job!” “Well, since she’s your classmate, we’ll just say this, Gerald. This friend of yours, along with her colleagues. They may be in for some trouble tonight!” replied Tyson after getting the clarification that he needed. “…Huh?” Gerald was stunned. “When they rushed out earlier, I saw two people following them. Both of them had a weapon strapped to their sides, and they exuded equal amounts of murderous auras. I’m pretty sure that the duo following your classmate has

The trio then headed for the ladies. As Maia was washing her hands, through the mirror, her eyes caught sight of two women with long, curly hair walking toward her. Their eyes were equally cold and stern. As she continued looking at them through the mirror, she immediately felt that something was wrong. “What are you guys doing?” asked Maia and the other two girls in unison. It took her a moment, but Tina suddenly exclaimed, “Huh? Aren’t both of you men dressed up as women? Maia, look! They have Adam’s apples on their throats!” “Heh, you’re pretty smart! It’s too late for that though! We’re here to kill you!” sneered the two men as they each pulled out a pistol with silencers attached to them. They were both aiming at Maia. “Ahh!” Since the other two girls were only newly-recruited police officers, both of them were scared witless in this life-and-death situation. Maia herself was drenched in cold sweat. It was at that moment when she remembered Gerald warning her e
Chapter 588
When Maia heard Drake and Tyson’s name, her face instantly beamed with excitement. “Maia, have you come across anyone that could hold that much power to help you? We were initially surprised when we received the 911 call, but it seems that someone knew that this event was going to happen ahead of time. They had stepped in to save you!” said the captain. “Huh? I… don’t think I’ve contacted anyone that would fit that bill… I’ve only contacted Gerald…?” But that wasn’t possible, right? Why would Gerald even know such powerful people? Thinking back, however, Gerald had been aware of the threat. After all, he had even warned her about them in advance! ‘Gerald must know something!’ Maia thought to herself. Moving back to Gerald… While Tyson had subdued the two criminals, Gerald himself wasn’t present at the rescue scene. After all, this was just a minor incident. He wouldn’t just meet Maia again by chance, would he? For now, he would focus more on worrying about Xavia Yorke.
