“Well this is perfect! I’ve been looking for an opportunity to have a good chat with you!” said Gerald as he felt himself blush slightly. Gerald was feeling an onslaught of complicated emotions at that moment. “Oh? What exactly do you want to talk about?” asked Xavia with a smug and arrogant look on her face. She then started walking toward him before saying, “You know, I’m curious about something. I’m sure you’re well aware that I’m no longer the same Xavia you used to know. Before this, I could only ever dream about living a life as luxurious as you wealthy people do. To think that that dream would one day become true! I’m now part of a wealthy and influential family, Gerald. You may have humiliated me in the past, but I’m on equal footing with you now. Tell me, Gerald! How do you feel about that?” “I don’t mind it at all. I simply want to make things clear to you. If you think that I’ve let you down and you hold grudges against me, attack me, and only me! Don’t take your reven

To think that he had even waited for her to come to him instead of the other way around! At that moment, Xavia raised her hand and gave Gerald a tight slap. Gerald didn’t retaliate. Instead, he simply said, “If this can help you vent and release all that pent up anger, then go ahead and continue hitting me! Once you’re done, I hope that both of us can call it quits and have nothing to owe each other anymore!” “Fine by me!” shouted Xavia as she raised her hand again. However, before she could slap him, she paused. She then slowly put her hand down again. “You think I’ll let you call it quits that easily? Don’t even dream about it. Do you really think that a few slaps to the face can resolve everything when you’ve hurt me so badly in the past?” said Xavia as she took a deep breath before returning to her cold and indifferent expression. “What do you want then?” asked Gerald. “Oh, nothing much. Speaking of which, Gerald, I heard that you’ve gotten quite a number of female fr

Gerald soon arrived at his seat. Even as he sat down, a few of the wealthy businessmen were still not done proposing their toasts to Yunus. At that moment, Xavia looked at Gerald, hinting with her eyes for him to take action. “Just look at what they’re doing! Just wait till my godsister comes back!” said Yoel, dissatisfied. Gerald simply took in a deep breath before picking his wine glass up and walking toward Xavia. “…Bother? What are you doing?” asked Yoel. “Don’t interfere. Mr. Crawford definitely knows what he’s doing!” said Zack though he too was quite surprised when he saw Gerald heading toward her. However, he knew Gerald well enough to know that he wouldn’t be doing this without a purpose. “Ah, Mr. Crawford, you came here to propose a toast as well?” As soon as the businessmen there saw him, they immediately made way for him. They were all the same as Wallace. Regardless of whether they had the Long family backing them up or not, they couldn’t afford to offend G

“As for my final request, it too, is quite simple. All you need to do is to teach a certain person a good lesson by forcing him to close down his shop permanently. Besides, he’s quite a terrible person so you’re not exactly being placed in a difficult situation either!” said Xavia. “And who exactly is this person?” asked Gerald. “He goes by the name of Hugh Lynch. He’s from the same village as my parents and he used to be my father’s best friend in the past. However, to start a business in Mayberry, he borrowed tens of thousands of dollars from my family. After eventually becoming successful, Hugh never once considered paying off the debts he owed us. And that’s not the worst thing about him either! Do you remember when I told you about what happened after I took a leave to go home during sophomore year? It turns out that it was Hugh who had hired the people to beat my father up!” replied Xavia as she slowly quieted down after explaining the situation. She was talking about their
Chapter 597
Aiden’s action caused quite a racket, and several of the present people turned to look at Gerald’s booth. This included the middle-aged man from earlier, though he didn’t say anything. Bosses who founded both regular or karaoke bars here, usually had some sort of background or great influence backing them up. It wasn’t uncommon for people to try creating messes in these places, which explained why the middle-aged man wasn’t too bothered about the trio. While all this was happening, a girl sitting in a booth on the other side of the bar asked, “Eh, isn’t that the guy from before?” Having heard the commotion that had just taken place, the girl had peeked to see what was going on, and she was shocked when she saw Gerald. “Huh? You know one of those people, Tina?” asked another girl sharing the booth. There were nine other young men and women sitting in the same booth, and the group had come to the bar to have some fun. “I do!” replied Tina as she nodded. One of the males in

It was clear that they enjoyed watching the misfortune of others. Tina herself was thinking that both parties involved weren’t nice men. She didn’t need to directly involve herself with them since they were just fighting among their own kind. However, she was ready to call the police if things got too messy. At that moment, a loud crash was heard. Gerald had apparently knocked down a vase. The shrill sound of shattering glass further attracted the attention of everyone in the bar. “Good sirs, you’ve clearly done it now! Not only did you refuse to order anything, you even smashed one of the vases here!” sneered the woman as she crossed her arms. She knew that the trio before her didn’t mean well. “F*cking hell! It’s just a vase! We’ll just compensate for it!” shouted Yoel in return. “I’m glad you’re willing to do so! But I first need to ask my boss regarding the exact price you’ll have to compensate!” replied the woman as she looked toward the spot where Hugh was standing ea

“…Wait, someone’s walking in front of Tiago… Holy cr*p! Isn’t that the guy who went out earlier?” “He is! He went out to call someone, but to think that the person he had in mind was Tiago! Actually, is that really the case?” Some of the people present inside the bar began discussing the situation through whispers. Others simply stared at the scene, wide-eyed. The only constant was that everyone was currently filled with disbelief. Not long after, a loud rumble could be heard and several loud footsteps soon followed. A large group of bodyguards dressed in black suits entered the bar. Among them, there were also several young men dressed like rich heirs. It was nothing short of an impressive scene. Hugh himself was feeling stunned. The men in black had different dispositions compared to the ones he was used to seeing. Even the group of rich youths seemed like people he would never dare to offend. “Mr. Crawford, the guy I’ve brought here goes by the name of Tiago. He’s Hugh’s

Tina’s face was flushed in astonishment. When she came to her senses again, she immediately started looking for Gerald within the huge crowd. The most luxurious car at the scene was a Lamborghini, and Tina saw Gerald standing right beside it. After a bodyguard opened the door for him, Gerald entered the car and left the scene in it. “….Tina, did you lie to us? What on earth did we just witness? Didn’t you say that he was just some poor loser? What we all saw was the complete opposite of that!” said a few of her friends as they gulped, still astonished at what they had just experienced. “I… I didn’t lie to you… He really is…” Tina was unable to finish her sentence. At that moment, she was equally nervous and didn’t know what to say anymore. She then tried to recall what her real first impression of Gerald really was on the day she first met him. ‘…I… think I first thought that he was quite handsome and classy the first time I met him… I even asked if he had a girlfriend…’
