Chapter 665
When the main car’s door was finally opened, the crowd was stunned. A fair-skinned and rather chubby guy with eyes as small as pumpkin seeds stepped out as he waved at the crowd in his gorgeous suit. “Is he Mr. Crawford?” “Really?” “Of course not! I recognize who he is! He’s Yoel Holden! The son of the richest man in the county state!” “Is that so? I guess by the looks of it, Yoel’s attending in place of Mr. Crawford, right?” While the crowd was busy discussing among themselves again, the stage manager looked visibly disappointed when he saw Yoel instead of Gerald. However, he still had to take Yoel seriously. After all, Yoel Holden was also one of the VIPs. Mila on the other hand, wasn’t familiar with Yoel. This made her slightly surprised and disappointed when she saw him. ‘Why didn’t Gerald come…?’ Even if Gerald had made his appearance, she would’ve hidden in a corner so that he couldn’t spot her. Regardless, it was no lie that she had at least hoped to have bee

As soon as they saw the young woman step out, everyone in the two rows immediately bowed deeply. The woman with snow-white skin—who looked to be around twenty-seven years old—had a pair of branded sunglasses on. She also wore extremely expensive-looking clothes, complemented by the blazer draped over her shoulders. As she continued chewing on her gum, she tilted her shoulders slightly, allowing her blazer to seamlessly fall off her shoulders. One of her bodyguards caught on to it before it even managed to touch the ground. Even from afar, everyone could see that all the bodyguards surrounding her had equally fierce gazes in their eyes. They also seemed to be extremely capable and strong. These were the kinds of bodyguards who would most definitely be prepared to tackle any sort of situation that they had to face. While she was extremely charming, the woman had an extremely strong aura as well, pressuring a lot of the present people to not even dare to take a breath. As she sc

“Tell me, why were you staring at that flag earlier?” asked the woman, her voice crystal clear. Mila simply lowered her head, unsure of even what to say. As Mila continued remaining silent, the woman noticed the slap mark on Mila’s cheek. She then stretched her hand out and lifted Mila’s chin gently. “You’re so beautiful yet you were slapped. Such a pity… Where are you from?” asked the woman, her tone sounding genuinely regretful. “M-Mayberry!” replied Mila. She hadn’t answered the woman’s earlier question since she didn’t want her to know that she was honestly thinking about Gerald! After all, Mila was still unsure of that woman’s true identity and status. “She’s an intern student who was chosen and sent here from Mayberry University! Her academic results are outstanding!” replied the head of the broadcasting station. Raising an eyebrow, the woman said nothing as she took a few sneaky glances at Mila before turning to enter the main area. However, before she entered

Almost everyone present at the scene was stunned speechless. While Molly was equally terrified and sad for Mila as she watched her good friend get shoved to the floor, Hallie was contrastingly sneering like there was no tomorrow. President Crawford herself, who was getting a massage at that moment, pretended like she had seen nothing. “Humph! How bold of you to offend Mr. Crawford! If I don’t personally teach you a lesson now, you’ll never learn!” shouted Yoel as he raised his arm, seemingly ready to beat Mila up. However, before he could launch his first blow, he paused right in the nick of time. He had noticed just in time, that the lock screen on Mila’s phone—which had earlier fallen to the side—contained Mr. Crawford’s photograph! “…Hmm? What?!” said Yoel, startled. “Do you know Mr. Crawford?” asked Yoel, clearly surprised to see his godbrother’s photo in some assisting staff member’s phone. He then picked her phone up, trying hard to figure out who she really was.

“That I am. He’s told you about me, hasn’t he?” replied Jessica with a faint smile on her face. Mila was too astonished to immediately respond to her. Gerald had indeed mentioned her before. He had told her that his sister treated him extremely well. What more, Jessica had been the one responsible for establishing the Mayberry Commercial Group in the past! While Mila was aware that his sister was very rich, she hadn’t expected her to be this rich and influential! At this point, Jessica could almost be considered to be a person of royalty! This made Mila even more nervous than she already was. She had initially not felt the pressure of the Crawford family’s true wealth and influence since she never had her eyes set on Gerald’s money from the very beginning. After all, it didn’t matter to her whether Gerald was rich or poor. All that mattered to her was that both of them retained a good relationship. Due to that way of thinking, even though she knew Gerald’s true identity,

Early the next morning, Gerald—accompanied by Barry and Queta—went looking for the master that Barry had mentioned the previous night. The master lived in a scenic spot atop a mountain. Since a bit more time was needed before they were going to get the final results, both Barry and Queta continued waiting there. Gerald himself walked quite a distance away from the place to make a call to his sister. It was only last night when Gerald found out that she had finally returned from abroad. He had always thought that he would be among the first to meet his sister as soon as she returned. After all, he missed her dearly since both of them hadn’t met for so long. During the call, Jessica told him that she was attending some kind of grand function. She also mentioned that she wanted to meet Gerald there. However, after Gerald explained that he was busy doing something for their father, she didn’t have much else to say. A while later, Gerald ended the call and was just about to head

This was what Maia said as soon as she saw that Gerald had also entered the high-end entertainment center. Gerald himself had simply been walking around, minding his own business before turning to look at Maia after hearing her shout. Contrary to Maia, he was as calm as a cucumber. Maia however, wasn’t having any of this. To her, Gerald could only possibly have entered due to him following them closely while Jamier was showing the staff his VIP card earlier. The staff must have allowed him in then, thinking that he was part of their group! Seeing Gerald in such a place simply made Maia feel uncomfortable. “Hey, Gerald! Why are you here as well? Who even allowed you in here?” said Maia rather angrily. Hearing Maia’s interrogative question, Gerald felt stunned. ‘Who allowed me in? I can come and leave as I please since the staff have been notified that I came together with Barry.’ ‘I naturally have free access to this place!’ In all honesty, Gerald was only passing throug

“I’m sure you know how straightforward a person Maia is, Gerald… After all, she’s been like that even from when she was still our captain! It’s just the way she is, so please don’t take what she said to heart!” consoled Vincy. “Well, alright!” replied Gerald, peeking at Maia once before nodding at Vincy. Since Vincy had been the only one treating him well, he chose to follow her advice. Besides, if he really wanted to embarrass Maia, he could do so any time he pleased. However, he felt that that would be slightly childish of him, so he simply refrained from doing so. Gerald wouldn’t usually have disputes with girls like her anyway. “I hope you mean what you say… Speaking of which, if you’re not too busy, let’s hang out for a short while and catch up with each other! After graduating from high school, I asked about you and found out that you had been accepted into Mayberry University! I told you that you’d be able to do it back then!” said Vincy. Back in high school, though
