Chapter 632
“Who knows? I heard that he knows quite a lot of people! If I were to guess, he’s probably here… to pick golf balls for them? Haha!” said Karen. “That does sound logical. I remember he said that he was doing his own business when we last met at our class gathering! Ridiculous!” sneered Lucille. When Gerald was still in junior high school, three of the people in the group were his classmates and the fourth was one of his teachers. They had met him the last time Gerald went back to his old house to celebrate his birthday. The day they met was coincidentally also Chase’s birthday, and the day Gerald found out that the girl he had liked in high school—Sherry—was now together with Chase. Gerald had left the gathering early back then since there weren’t a lot of common topics to talk about. What more, Gerald was rushing to celebrate his own birthday as well. After he left, Chase and the others planned to visit Sunny Springs. However, after having their dinner and arriving there, th

After ending his sentence, Gerald simply stood aside with a bitter smile on his face. While several misunderstandings were at play, he didn’t feel the need to explain everything to them. “What’s his problem?” asked Karen’s husband, clearly upset. “Oh, don’t bother about him! He’s just being a jerk again!” replied Karen, equally as upset. All of a sudden, someone shouted, “Hot d*mn! That’s a lot of helicopters!” “Huh? Where?” “Holy! There’s at least thirty-six of them up there and they’re all forming a formation!” Everyone there was stunned. Though this place was mostly reserved for wealthy people, those present there today were generally younger, which explained their shock. Even Karen and the others’ attention was drawn toward the helicopters. “Aren’t those helicopters used by the military, Hubby?” asked Karen, her voice clearly indicating her shock. Her other students were simply too stunned to say anything. “Of course not. While they surely are military grade hel

Karen and the others were beyond shocked when they heard the name being shouted out. What was going on? Why did they address Gerald as Mr. Crawford? Were those helicopters really here to pick Gerald up? All of them had pained expressions on their faces, and this was especially so for the girls in the group. The pain they felt was excruciating. After all, all three of them had constantly looked down on Gerald. They just couldn’t believe that he was actually such a powerful person! “Impossible… How is any of this possible?!” said Lucille. Gerald didn’t even bother looking at them. He was already prepared to leave. “Gerald!” shouted Lucille, desperation in her voice. “Yes?” replied Gerald as he turned to face her. “You… These helicopters… They came to pick you up?” asked Lucille in a nervous tone. “Yep!” said Gerald while nodding slightly. He then glanced at Sherry and Karen but he didn’t say anything else. Slipping his hands into his pockets, he finally walked toward th

“Woah!” While Melissa had been afraid at first, she was shocked out of her fear when she saw the helicopters flying in the sky. Looking at everyone’s expressions, the Long family seemed to have finally managed to save themselves some face. This made Jerry smile happily. However, much to everyone’s disappointment, before the helicopters could properly display the words on the red satin rolls, all of them landed immediately instead. “Huh? What’s happening?” asked someone, shocked. “The hell? Quick! Go check out what’s wrong!” shouted another person from the side. It was at that moment when a shocking sight could be seen from afar. A speck of black seemed to have formed in the sky, and it was slowly getting bigger as it swiftly approached Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. That speck in question was actually Gerald’s thirty-six helicopters! While none of the helicopters looked as grand as the ones owned by the Long family, in the end, thirty-six helicopters were still much gran

While the Owens hadn’t said a thing from the very beginning, Rosalie had been glaring at Gerald with eyes filled with hostility from the moment he appeared. If the Crawfords wanted to cause trouble now, the Owens couldn’t really do much about it. “I believe that some of you may have already heard about the misunderstanding between me and the Owens, and I’m sure that everyone wants to know what exactly happened. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the truth!” said Gerald with a laugh. The moment he said that, Gerald’s men took that as their cue to start playing a video. It was projected on the big screen located in front of the venue. In the video, a car could be seen parked on a bridge. It was night time and both Yunus Long and Melissa Wayham were present. Moments later, a car drove toward them and out stepped the director of Mayberry News. “Lissa, I’ll leave the matter regarding Rosalie to you. Your job is just to get her and Gerald together in a room. As for you, Mr. L

Xavia hadn’t expected things to go this way. She had only wanted to use this opportunity to widen her social circle with the attendees. If Gerald hadn’t attended the event, her plan would’ve gone smoothly. Nobody could have ever anticipated that the event would end up in such a tense situation. “Humph! You’re such a disgrace to the Long Family, Yunus Long! I can’t believe you would do such a thing!” said Xavia in disgust as she spat at him. Her response was an immediate slap to the face from Yunus. Yunus’s eyes were bloodshot as Xavia, overwhelmed by the force of his slap, fell atop one of the tables. “You f*cking b*tch! Keep your mouth shut! All you do is ramble on and on! I’m sick of all that! Who do you even think you are to lecture me like that? I’m only saying this once. You’re my sister-in-law merely because I acknowledged you as part of our family! If I hadn’t brought you in, you’d just be another stray b*tch trying to claw your way in!” “You… You dare hit me?” s
Chapter 638
Gerald’s main purpose of attending the event was just to intimidate them. He wanted the Longs to know that they were messing with the wrong person, and that they should re-evaluate their decision of pursuing their revenge against him. Now that he had completed what he had set out to do, Gerald was ready to leave. Sometime after getting into his car, he noticed that someone was tailing him. Looking into his rear-view mirror, he realized who was in the car, so he simply paid the vehicle no further attention. Once he arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Gerald was just about to enter when a girl’s voice called out to him. “Are you planning to just ignore me forever, Gerald?!” Of course, the person in the car earlier was Giya. “There’s no reason for us to maintain our relationship anymore. Yunus should no longer pester you either, so isn’t that good enough?” replied Gerald. “Can’t we even just be friends anymore?” replied Giya. She was discontent with the way Gerald was cu

To Giya, her request was fairly simple. She understood that she wasn’t perfect, but was she so bad that Gerald didn’t even want to look at her for one final time? Still, it made her feel a little better since he was still willing to consider her favor. From her point of view as a girl, though fulfilling the request wouldn’t entirely grant her contentment, it was the only way for her to completely end her relationship with Gerald. She wasn’t really trying to conspire anything bad at all. Giya simply wanted Gerald to do something for her. To prove that he still cared for her. With any luck, she hoped that that would finally be able to satisfy her. That was the gist of why she had made that request. However, Gerald was visibly hesitant about agreeing to it. While he had pretended to be other peoples’ boyfriends before in the past, those favors weren’t too hard for him to handle. It was the least he could do to help out his friends. However, faking a marriage was a comple
