This was the reason why she wanted to have a nice chat with Mila first. “What do you want to talk about? Spit it out already!” said Mila as both of them arrived at a park. “I’ll be frank with you. It’d honestly be better for me if you broke up with Gerald. I won’t hide the fact that I do indeed, love him, and I’ve tried to gain his affection on multiple occasions!” said Giya. Miya simply looked to the side without saying anything. “However, it’s exactly because I love him that I can see how loyal he is to you. I’m not making any of this up either. His feelings for you have remained unchanged from the very beginning. No matter how much I’ve tried to earn his affection, he simply ignored every one of my advances. This is just my two cents, but if you do end up breaking up just because of some misunderstanding about our relationship, he’ll definitely experience extreme grief. He really is a kind man who likes helping people out, you know? Even the engagement was just him helping m

Gerald had just retrieved some porridge for Queta when he received a text message from an unfamiliar number. After reading its contents, Gerald was stunned. ‘Mila’s returning to Hong Kong? Already? I haven’t even had the time to explain myself to her yet!’ Immediately after, he began driving to the airport. On his way there, he bombarded Mila with endless calls. However, not once did she pick up. Alas, when he finally arrived, he was just in time to see a plane slowly taking off. Gerald was so anxious at that moment that he was ready to make some arrangements to get a helicopter to catch up with her. However, before he could do anything rash, he received another text message. This one came directly from Mila. “Gerald, I’ll be returning to Hong Kong first. You don’t have to explain anything to me regarding what had happened today. I believe in you. To tell you the truth, I was acting out of spite earlier because of my jealousy. I honestly just wanted you to coax and paci

‘It seems that I can bump into him just about anywhere!’ ‘Regardless, it seems that Gerald is doing quite well. After all, instead of taking the normal train, he chose to take the rail instead!’ After the simple greeting, the two of them chatted for a while longer before Maia eventually stopped talking to him. While Gerald was simply trying to be nice to her, she didn’t seem to want to bother about him at all. Gerald was fine with that, and he simply did the same. After all, though it seemed like Maia was heading to the Salford Province to undergo some secret mission, Gerald wasn’t interested in it in the least. Meanwhile, Queta had just finished cutting up another fruit. She could see that Gerald and Maia seemed to know each other. What more, she was sitting just opposite them. Sensing the opportunity, Queta smiled as she asked Maia in a kind and warm tone, “I’ve just cut up a fruit, Miss. Would you like some?” “Thanks, but I don’t eat fruits!” declined Maia casually.

County Salford was the city center of the Salford Province. Being the city center, it was always thriving and busy. Despite being a bustling city, the ten luxury cars parked in front of the ever-busy Salford High Rail Station were still particularly eye-catching. At that moment, the rail finally arrived at the station. Standing up, Gerald stretched slightly before getting off the rail together with Queta and Finnley. When he passed by Maia and her group of friends, however, he simply walked past them without greeting them at all. “Humph! Just look at that behavior! Who wants to bother about him anyway?” ‘How dare he not take the initiative to greet me?’ Maia thought to herself. She had never expected Gerald to end up becoming such a stubborn man. It was evident that Maia had a superiority complex. ‘If you had only greeted me, I would’ve refrained from bothering you. However, for a person like you to ignore me, your actions are similar to destroying a beautiful object! H

“Gerald!” shouted Vincy. Gerald was surprised to hear his name being called out. Turning around, he saw both Vincy and Lennard. Gerald had never really talked to both of them outside competitions, so he wasn’t too close to either of them. Between the two however, Gerald was definitely more acquainted with Vicky. After all, Lennard came from a rich family so that gave him even less reason to talk to Gerald back then. Lennard was much closer to Maia and the others. Gerald then walked over to them with a surprised look on his face before saying, “Vincy! Lennard!” While he wasn’t well acquainted with them, they still used to be classmates. It was the only reason why he was speaking to them in such a friendly manner. Lennard only scanned him briefly from head to toe before unwillingly nodding in response to Gerald’s greeting. Vicky on the other hand, jumped in front of Gerald before patting him on the shoulder. “Hey, Gerald! It’s been a while! You barely even keep in contact w

It was a call from Zack. “Yes?” “I just wanted to check if you’ve arrived, Mr. Crawford. I’ll be sending you a number belonging to the general manager of County Salford. His name is Mr. Zartyr and just like the Crawfords, County Salford has businesses from all around the world as well. Once you’ve arrived, you can look for Barry Zartyr if you need anything,” said Zack. He was simply checking in on Gerald to make sure that he wasn’t in any kind of trouble. “Got it!” “Speaking of which, Mr. Crawford, I’ve previously assigned Barry to look for the Jade pendant in County Salford. He apparently has some news about it already!” “Alright! I’ll be giving him a call soon!” As soon as he hung up, Gerald lay on his bed before calling Barry next. Barry seemed quite agitated upon receiving the call. However, he managed to calm himself almost immediately before getting straight to business. “Yes, Mr. Crawford, I’ve searched high and low for news regarding the pendant and I final

All of a sudden, a girl could be heard crying near Mila’s room. By the time Mila got out to see what the commotion was about, a few others had already left their rooms to see what was wrong. Mila and the others simply followed behind them. “What’s wrong? What happened?” asked one of the girls present. “I… I went out with my housemate earlier and when I got back, I realized that the diamond ring that my boyfriend got for me was missing! It’s a very expensive ring and I can’t find it anywhere!” said the girl with a wail. Hallie had heard the racket from next door and she too was now present. “Don’t cry, Xyleena. You could have just misplaced it. You know how careless you can be. Maybe you accidentally left it somewhere?” suggested Hallie. “But Hallie, I would never misplace something so important! I’m always particularly careful with that six thousand dollar ring!” cried out Xyleena. “How odd! Well, how about this. Where have you been today and who else was in the hostel? Cou

Mila herself however, was equally as shocked as they were. “H-how is this even possible? I didn’t take it!” “The evidence is here and everyone can clearly see it! How are you still trying to defend yourself? What a show!” said Hallie. “Mila, I’ve always admired you but you’ve really disappointed me this time… If you really liked my ring, you could’ve just told me!” added Xyleena in disbelief. “I… I really didn’t take it! I didn’t!” denied Mila as she continuously shook her head. “She’s telling the truth! Let me tell you, Hallie, Mila’s boyfriend is the richest man in Mayberry! She could get anything she wanted! Why would she even need to steal someone else’s ring?” said Molly. “Hahaha! Oh no… The richest man in Mayberry… I’m so scared!” replied Hallie as she laughed hysterically. “Who cares about any of that! What’s stolen is stolen. I’ll definitely be bringing this up to the director tomorrow! Let’s go! I can’t believe that you’re actually the director’s favorite! There’
