Chapter 603
Gerald realized that the old man was the same one who had blackmailed him when he was still looking for Giya back then. Gerald would never have dreamed that the old man would actually come looking for him again. “How come it’s you again,” said Gerald as he frowned slightly. “Ah! My grandson! It’s wonderful that you’re here now! Humph! These guards won’t let me in! Tell them to let me in!” said the old man with his hands on his waist. “Why do you want to go in there? What do you need this time? I’ve already helped you before and I even cured your injured leg! Stop pestering me, do you really think that I’m a nice man without any temper?” replied Gerald rather impatiently. Gerald didn’t really mind helping people if they looked as pitiful as the beggar did. However, he had already helped him once. If the old man continued to abuse Gerald’s pity, he would definitely be crossing the line. “Why would you say that, grandson? What do you mean I’m pestering you? You just resemble my

The door swung open and in rushed ten security guards, each armed with an electric baton. They had finally managed to track down the old man with the help of the surveillance footage. “You old b*stard! There you are!” The guards then immediately surrounded him. “Apologies Mr. Crawford! This old man sneaked into the lobby after his bath when we weren’t paying attention to him! He apparently heard your room number from the female receptionist then he ruined all the machines needed to get up here! Apologies again, Mr. Crawford! We’ll beat him up then kick him out, right this instant!” Gerald didn’t know how to respond at that moment. Everything about that old man just made him feel uneasy. At that moment, Gerald’s phone began to ring. It was a call from Queta. Gerald had earlier sent a Line message to her regarding all the new things he had discovered. She must have just read it. Glancing at the old man again, Gerald then answered the call. “I assume you’ve read the messag

Her skin was quite fair as well. When he saw her, Gerald simply nodded with a smile. Melissa chuckled when she saw him do that. She then said, “She’s my cousin, Gerald. She’s a looker, isn’t she? She came over to have some fun with me.” Gerald replied with a simple nod. “But just so you know, she’s already married! She was a beauty even during her school years and though so many years have passed since then, she’s still as gorgeous as ever!” said Melissa in a teasing tone as she laughed. “From her reaction, I’m now sure that you’re Mr. Crawford. It’s a pleasure to meet you! I’m Rosalie Owens but since I’m older than both of you, you can just call me Sister Owens!” said Rosalie with a smile. “By the way, Mr. Crawford, I’m sure you already know that my cousin’s family is quite powerful in Northbay! She’s even teaching in a university there too!” added Melissa. Gerald nodded again as he greeted, “It’s a pleasure to meet you as well, Sister Owens!” The three of them then en

She was so disgusted by him that she had already begun filling her head with rather extreme ideas. Giya had only attended the meal because her father had persuaded her to go that day. Thinking back, she wasn’t even sure if she should have taken that first step. “Well, it doesn’t really matter. The engagement will happen sooner or later! Let’s not talk about that now. Come, let’s just go in already!” said Yunus as he brought her into the hotel. Meanwhile, Gerald had just entered a private room. Melissa had invited quite a lot of people that day and aside from her cousin, Rosalie, most of the others were young people who looked to be around the same age. Some of them seemed to be from Mayberry while the others came from elsewhere. The only constant was that they all treated Gerald extremely respectfully and cordially. This was especially so for Melissa who had constantly been serving him food as she sat beside him. Melissa had even invited Gerald to have fun with them that ni

The more he pondered about the noises, the stranger the situation felt. Eventually, he decided to open the door to see what was going on. What he saw made his eyes widen in astonishment. A strange man was trying to undress Rosalie in the room! Rosalie seemed to have been struggling for quite a while and tears were already in her eyes. When the man saw Gerald, he simply smiled coldly before jumping off the bed and diving out the window. But this was the seventh floor. Gerald immediately rushed toward the window and looked down. However, there was no trace of the man at all. ‘Where the hell did he go?’ Gerald thought to himself, stunned. Turning around to check on Rosalie, Gerald found himself blushing deeply. As he was just about to cover her up with some blankets, he heard footsteps coming from outside. “For heaven’s sake, why are you so annoying? Gerald’s already looking after my cousin, there’s no need for you to come along! You aren’t getting anything by doing this!” s

This was the question Gerald posed as he looked at the manager. The manager simply smiled apologetically before saying, “I’ve met you once at the chamber of commerce, Mr. Crawford. Also, your elder sister, CEO Jessica Crawford, has given me a lot of attention in the past! It would be impossible for me not to know who you are!” “Humph! Stop trying to put up a show here, Gerald! Literally everyone in Mayberry involved in the business field needs to pay at least some respect to you! We know both of you are on the same side! Why’s the surveillance system broken now? Don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental?” said Melissa rather angrily in a loud voice. By then, several other people who were staying the night had walked out of their rooms to see what the commotion was about. It wasn’t long before the floor’s hallways became crowded. Soon after, the gossiping started as well. “What’s going on?” “It appears that some rich heir saw a drunk girl and dragged her into a room. Thankfu

“What? Sister Owens is the victim?” asked Yunus, stunned. “She is!” replied Melissa before explaining everything she knew about the incident. Rosalie was slowly sobering up by then. Despite her dizziness, she still glared at Gerald with resentment. Though she had been very drunk earlier, she was aware enough to know that it was Gerald and her cousin who had helped her into the room. While she was still dazed, someone forcefully tried to take her clothes off! Who else could have done so if not Gerald? Thinking about it made Rosalie’s eyes water. “How bold of you! I hope that you realize that the Longs have had a good relationship with the Owens for generations! How dare you do something so improper to Sister Owens! Audacious! The Longs of Yanken will definitely make you pay a heavy price for this, regardless of how powerful you are!” said Yunus coldly. “Huh? The Longs of Yanken? Holy cr*p it’s Mr. Long! This has become a much bigger deal now! Not only are the Owens involved, b

Just as Gerald felt like he had already hit rock bottom, he felt a chill run down his spine as a hand was placed on his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a man with hair as long as a woman’s standing right behind him. Gerald felt almost pressured by the man’s immense intimidation alone. “Step aside! What are all of you doing here?” shouted an old voice out of the blue. “What are we doing here? What are you doing here old man? Stop shoving others around!” The crowd then began scolding the person who had first shouted. “I’m here to look for my grandson! You’re all just standing in the way!” sneered the owner of the old voice as he squeezed himself into the room. Seeing how shabbily he was dressed, the people in the room hurriedly opened a path for him as they tried to avoid him like the plague. The long-haired man on the other hand, simply glared coldly at the old man as he retracted his hand. “What are you doing? Let go of my grandson!” growled the old man as he st
