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
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
However, due to his old age and muddle-headedness, it would be quite a bit of trouble if Gerald was to follow him around. Gerald wasn’t trying to be rude, but he just couldn’t bear the thought of letting him suffer! Early the next morning, Gerald received a call from Tammy. She had of course, called to discuss the fake marriage. To keep the marriage a secret from the public, Gerald had told neither Zack nor Michael about it. Gerald understood the reasoning behind Giya’s request. The main purpose of the fake marriage was to let the Longs and Owens know that they were engaged. “I’ll be picking you up, Gerald! Wait downstairs!” said Tammy. “Alright, alright, I’ll be down in a minute!” replied Gerald as he smiled bitterly. The entire plan was quite simple. They were just going to have a banquet in a hotel so that Giya’s family could finally settle down. By the time he got downstairs, Tammy was already there waiting for him. They were ready to depart. As they were about to l
Xavia had already planned everything out. She knew that the moment Gerald found out that she was in danger, he would definitely come running over to save her. Xavia had no doubts about it given how well she knew his personality in the past. Once he arrived, she would begin crying and throwing tantrums before threatening to commit suicide. After seeing that, he would definitely be saddened and try to console her! After that, she would finally have her chance to be together with Gerald again. While Xavia seemed like she utterly hated Gerald at first glance, her main and only aim was to make Gerald regret leaving her. Though she had managed to corner Gerald up in the bar that day, she had never planned to order her subordinates to beat him up. The most she had wanted to do back then was to mock him slightly before asking him how it felt to have fallen right into her hands. She wanted Gerald to be filled with grief. To her surprise, Gerald hadn’t even bothered checking in on
Another girl from the group had said that, her arms crossed. All six of them were housemates who were both learning new skills and doing their internships at Hong Kong Television Station. However, they were now on holiday to enjoy themselves as a group. The girl who had claimed that Mila was simply bragging was named Wanda Wabsor. Though her figure was similar to Mila’s, the same couldn’t be said about her appearance. If they needed to select the station beauty in Hong Kong Television Station, Mila would undeniably get chosen since she was the most beautiful woman there. Wanda herself could barely hold second place in the beauty department. Since all of them were housemates, not only did they live together, but they also had to learn and work in the same space most of the time. In short, they had to see and talk with each other a lot. Being girls, it was quite hard for them to avoid feeling jealous among themselves. However, it would be far-fetched to say that they resent
“Who is it?” asked a maid just as she opened the door. When she saw Mila, she was visibly stunned. ‘What was such a beautiful girl doing here?’ “Um… Who are you looking for?” asked the maid. “Is Gerald home? I’m looking for him!” replied Mila with a slight smile. “Who’s there, Hope?” said an impatient sounding voice from inside the villa. “They’re here to look for Gerald, Miss!” answered the maid. “Huh?” Hearing that, Xavia walked over to the door… When she saw Mila, she was momentarily shocked speechless! Naturally, the same could be said for Mila when she saw Xavia. “Mila!” “Xavia!” Both of them shouted each other’s name in unison. Mila for one, definitely knew who Xavia was. After all, Xavia was Gerald’s ex-girlfriend. It was impossible for Xavia not to know who Mila was as well. In fact, her knowing about Mila was exactly why she was sure that Gerald marrying Giya was nothing but a rumor. After all, Gerald already had Mila as his girlfriend. ‘D*mn it a
Mila simply took in a deep breath before saying, “I’m going to call Gerald now! I want him to tell me in person what exactly happened!” After saying that, she took out the key to Mountain Top Villa before throwing it directly at Xavia. Xavia was obviously stupefied by this. ‘F*ck! Why does it now seem like Gerald hasn’t broken up with her yet? In fact, they still seem to be deeply in love with each other!’ ‘What exactly is happening? Did Gerald really become a sc*mbag?’ As Xavia thought about that, Mila had already tried giving Gerald a few calls. However, he answered none of them. “Why isn’t he answering any of my calls? He used to always answer my calls immediately!” said Mila anxiously. So it was as Xavia said. Gerald really was having an affair with her all this time! Mila could only laugh bitterly in her mind. All of a sudden, Xavia came up with a nasty plot. Just as Mila was about to leave, she shouted out, “Mila, wait!” “What more do you want?” yelled Molly col
