Chapter 668
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

“Isn’t she the famous celebrity, Yuna Yames? D*mn! To think that we’d actually bump into her here!” exclaimed Maia, clearly surprised. “While I was aware that this scenic spot was occasionally visited by some celebrities who wanted to have some fun after attending functions in County Salford, never would I have imagined seeing such high profile artists like Yuna here!” said Vincy, equally as surprised. Her surprise was warranted. After all, she had studied and even established her own business in County Salford. There was little about the place that she didn’t already know. A burst of laughter soon followed. “If I remember correctly, you’ve never really been the type to idolize celebrities, right Maia? The only exception to that rule was Yuna! You admired her so much during high school that you even pasted posters of Yuna by your bedside!” Hearing that, Maia nodded in agreement before saying, “That’s right! I like her because of her self-discipline! I’ve seen all of her work

‘…F*ck.’ Gerald was left speechless after seeing that. He knew for a fact that the middle-aged man was lying. The man definitely knew more about the girl. ‘Still, that girl really resembled Queta… Could she be the key to one of the clues…?’ Just as Gerald was about to run after the plump man to further enquire him about it, a sudden uproar could be heard coming somewhere near the hot spring area. “Move out of the way! Mr. Linton is here! Step aside, all of you!” Hearing that, Gerald turned around to see a few bodyguards clearing the crowd who were still trying to take photographs together with Yuna. It wasn’t long before a rich heir entered the spotlight next, walking toward Yuna with both his hands in his pockets. When the locals saw who had arrived, they immediately retreated to the side. Maia herself—who had waited quite a long time just to take a photo with Yuna—was just about to snap a picture with her when a bodyguard knocked into her, sending Maia’s phone droppi
Chapter 675
Yoav had earlier been blinded by rage. To assert his dominance, he had slid a hand into his pocket, just to prove to Yuna that he could teach her a lesson without even needing to use both his hands. To his surprise, not only had Yuna escaped his grasp unscathed, it was him at that moment who was bleeding out of his forehead. His bodyguards were all paralyzed in fear when they saw this, and even Yuna’s guards froze in place. Yuna herself had gone fully pale. What a bloody scene this had become. And they were at County Salford too! It was definitely hard to say what would even happen next. “Don’t let that woman escape! She was the one who had beaten Mr. Linton up!” shouted a bodyguard as he pointed at Maia. “I… I didn’t beat him up!” replied Maia, her voice quivering slightly. Maia was stupefied. She had only wanted to dissuade the situation from getting any worse. It was clear, however, that Yoav’s bodyguards all had their eyes set on her now. Meanwhile, the area’s staff
