The object in question was the jade bracelet that Gerald had given to her before. “From this moment onward, we’ll cease to have a relationship! Humph! To think that I kept this jade bracelet with me till now… At first, I thought that it would be a nice memento to keep with me since we would never be able to be with each other! However, mementos aren’t necessary anymore! You can have it back!” said Giya coldly as she handed the bracelet over to him. “Fine by me!” “Also, Gerald, I hope that you’ll delete my contact number after this. You stick with your Mila and I’ll stick with Yunus. We’ll have no reason to see or even talk to each other again after that!” “Will do!” Gerald didn’t really have much else to say. After taking the bracelet, he simply greeted Tammy and the other girls with a silent nod before immediately leaving the premise. “…What? Why… Why did he let you go so easily, Giya? What exactly happened between you two?” asked Tammy, her confusion apparent in her voic
“The thing is, I don’t feel easy about this at all, Mr. Long. I hope that you’re aware that because of you, I ended up not only offending Mr. Crawford, but also the Owens family. You know, Mr. Crawford’s men were looking for me all over Mayberry City yesterday. If Miss Rosalie actually decides to look into the case in future, then I’ll surely be done for!” The speaker, then added, “I’ve already given up everything just to help you this time, so fork out the cash as soon as possible. The sooner I leave this godforsaken place, the better. It isn’t a stretch to say that the Owens family will eventually find out who really laid their hands on Miss Rosalie. Should that happen, chaos will surely ensue. After all, the Longs and the Owens have had so many business dealings together!” “D*mn it, Harry! Are you threatening me?” replied Yunus as he snorted coldly. Yunus had indeed been the one who had set up both Rosalie and Gerald back in the hotel. It was part of his plan to gather capable
While all this was happening, Giya’s friends were still with her in the Quarrington family villa. The girls were drinking and singing together, seemingly having a lot of fun. In truth, they were all trying very hard to cheer Giya up so that she could forget all of her sadness regarding Gerald. Since Giya’s parents had earlier left for Yanken, Tammy and the other girls had agreed on staying the night to accompany her. “Say Tammy, I need to use the bathroom… Will you accompany me?” asked Giya. “Sure thing!” Both of them then headed to the bathroom upstairs together. However, not too long after, a scream could be heard coming from upstairs! Shocked, everyone immediately rushed toward the source of the scream. However, once they got to the bathroom, Tammy and Giya were nowhere to be seen. “Tammy? Giya?! S-stop messing around with us! Where are you two?” The girls began shouting as they searched around the villa. After quite a bit of time had passed, they concluded that t
Tammy sounded confident with her words. “It’s not like I want to see that s*umbag ever again anyway!” replied Giya. “Hey, hey! Are you two done talking yet? If you aren’t aware, you’re being held hostage! Are you pretending that I don’t exist now? Huh?!” said Harry angrily. Hearing that, Tammy was so frightened that she immediately went silent. Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Harry then took Giya’s cell phone from her. “Look, I don’t care which rich heir you’re talking about, I just want my god d*mn money!” grumbled Harry as he looked through Giya’s contacts to find Yunus. “Giya? Why are you calling me out of the blue?” asked Yunus in an affectionate and doting tone as soon as he picked up Harry’s call. “Cut the cr*p already! Giya’s in my hands now. If you don’t want your precious Giya to encounter any ‘accidents’, I propose that you hand the money you owe me right this instant! I’ll free them after that!” cursed Harry through the phone. “What?! Harry?! You’re brave, I’
“Well… I guess there’s no harm in telling you the truth at this point. After all, it’d be better for you to know what kind of person Mr. Long really is since you’re marrying him soon. I have to say though, Mr. Crawford really is too careless. He barely ever has guards escorting him wherever he goes! Mr. Long was aware of this so he one day approached me, saying that he had something to discuss…” By the time Harry’s story ended, Giya’s heart was beating extremely rapidly. “So he was innocent after all! You did this! Why did you have to set him up?!” shouted Giya, her eyes bloodshot. She was experiencing a great surge of emotions in her heart. How could she have been so stupid? She had known Gerald for quite a while now. How could he ever be the kind of person Yunus had framed him to be? Gerald had even tried to defend himself, saying that he wasn’t the one who had committed the act. He must have only tried to prove his innocence to her because he considered her to be a good
While it was true that Gerald felt that Giya shouldn’t have distrusted him since he had already helped her so much in the past, he didn’t really feel any enmity toward her. In fact, he honestly didn’t want to cause any further harm to her. The way he saw it, since he no longer had anything to do with her anymore, she would no longer need to suffer because of him. “That’s what I like to hear! You know, now I feel a little guilty for setting you up like that… Regardless, I’m currently at…” After Harry relayed his location and detailed a few more things, both of them hung up. Giya now had tears trickling down her cheeks. “He… He doesn’t hate me at all! He’s still willing to put himself in danger because of me!” said Giya to herself as she felt her heart melt. Moving back to Gerald, he notified Drake and Tyson about some things before personally driving to the location he had been given. It wasn’t long before he arrived with a bag of money in hand. As Gerald stepped out of
About thirty helicopters were encircling the abandoned house! Tammy was equally as dumbfounded as Harry, and she immediately covered her mouth with both her hands the moment she saw the helicopters. Dear lord! Though Tammy had grown up in the city, even she hadn’t personally witnessed such a magnificent scene like this! “You… You went back on your word!” shouted Harry, terrified. D*mn it! His plan to escape after receiving the money was now down the drain! As he said that, several bodyguards were already using rope ladders to descend the helicopters. In no time at all, Harry was completely surrounded. “It really is you, Harry! And here I thought you wouldn’t dare return after going missing for such a long time! I have to say, I would never have expected you to go this low! You even set Mr. Crawford up! Aren’t you terrified at all that Miss Crawford will find out about this?” asked Zack with a sneer as he walked closer to Harry. Drake and Tyson followed closely behind him.
What more, he was terrified of what Jessica would do to him if she ever found out that he had hurt her brother! However, he also didn’t do it because Jessica had treated him kindly before. Regardless, he hadn’t initially dared to return before this chain of events took place. He truly only wanted to get his money and leave this godforsaken place. He had previously made sure to keep a record of everything that happened while he was dealing with Yunus. He had predicted that if everything went smoothly, Gerald would continue being misunderstood for about a week. If things had gone according to plan, he would have eventually handed the recordings over to Zack anyway once he had successfully hidden himself. It was just his luck to end up in his current situation. Since there wasn’t going to be an easy way out of this anyway, he knew there was nothing to lose in asking Gerald to take him in. “You?” replied Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile wryly. “Forget it. Just leave while
