“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
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
Chapter 676Maia’s group then immediately surrounded Yuna. Yuna herself shook her head as she rather anxiously explained, “Even the people at my company are quite anxious now. At the moment, they’re still thinking of ways to resolve the issue. They’ve even contacted Mr. Zatyr. However, since Yoav sustained actual injuries this time, my company’s quite worried that even Mr. Zatyr won’t be able to handle the situation all that well. What more, I’m just a simple celebrity, so he definitely won’t have a fall out with the Lintons just because of me. While it’s true that Yoav was the one who stirred the conflict up first, the fact that he’s the only one who got hurt complicates everything!” If only Yoav hadn’t gotten hurt, Barry could’ve easily tackled the issue! Everything was so complicated now because of the injury he sustained. They couldn’t tell Barry to trouble the Crawfords either since that was pretty much equivalent to them resigning their jobs right there and then. There wa
Chapter 678“…Ah, is that so?” Hearing that, both Gerald and Queta were slightly disappointed. Barry himself frowned while saying, “You mentioned that despite them being a powerful family, all news regarding them disappeared in a single night, correct? I wonder what drastic changes happened back then… Could the Fendersons have simply gone bankrupt?” “That’s quite impossible. If they had truly gone bankrupt, how could they have silenced the reporters from reporting about the incident?” replied Gerald as he shook his head. Mr. Wace smiled after hearing what Gerald had to say. “Mr. Crawford’s right. For those from the older generation like me, we believe that the Fenderson family didn’t actually fall into bankruptcy. Instead, we think that they underwent the exact opposite of that. Rather than going bankrupt, the family instead amplified in power, or at least that’s what we assume. Regardless, the family never left the Salford Province, and they still reside here to this very da
By linking the new information with the clues he had previously discovered, Gerald could sense that it was just as Mr. Wace had said. The Fendersons were still powerful, yet they seemed like they were hiding from something. Gerald also felt that he could inadvertently alert the enemy if he acted rashly by directly inquiring the girl about it. If that were to happen, he would only gain the complete opposite of what he desired. As he came up with something in his mind, Gerald then asked, “Does she go to school daily and attend all her lessons on time?” “Well she doesn’t really go to school daily. However, when there’s a lesson in her schedule, she’ll be sure to attend alongside at least one of her friends. Are you looking for her? I’ll warn you ahead of time that she’s extremely unpleasant to be around with. It’s near impossible for anyone to even make a move on her. You know, in the past, several rich heirs who felt like they were rich and powerful enough tried to gain her affect
“It’s you?”“It’s you?”Mila and the girl spoke in unison. The both of us obviously did not expect to run into each other.“Alice, who is she? Why does she look so familiar?”One of the girls asked curiously.The leader of the girls was none other than Alice.“Oh! She is Mila, the only student from our university who managed to secure an internship in the Hong Kong Television Station!” Alice replied a little enviously.All of them were from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting in Mayberry University. Therefore, Alice naturally had the opportunity to come and learn here too.However, a team of thirty people would be assigned to television stations and also several newspaper departments based on a certain percentage. Only those with the best scores and results would be given the best learning opportunities.“Oh! I know, Alice! Is she your ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend?”Several girls who were standing aside suddenly began looking at Mila with a different expression in
