The assessors said. “Nonsense! This is an imported car. My boyfriend’s father asked his friends to buy it for them. Of course it’s not yours!” “I think you’ve misunderstood what we’re trying to say here. What I meant is that this vehicle isn’t the model that can be found in our inventory. It’s not even supposed to be sold here in Weston. Only one batch of it was ever produced, which was discontinued a long time ago. But, recently, there have been counterfeits of this model circulating around the domestic market. I’m sure you know through what method this vehicle was procured without me having to say much,” the assessor explained.“D*mn! So you’re trying to say that we smuggled this vehicle? What a load of horse crap!”Xyla sounded audibly panicked.The assessors were helpless. He could only show her the official statement they received from headquarters about these cars. In addition to that, all known counterfeited vehicles had their own reports and related files. “Get lost!

“Don’t say that Xyla! Not in front of him at least!” Vincy said. Although she too, felt that it would be rather embarrassing to arrive on nothing but an electric tricycle, her fear was whittled away by the sight of Gerald riding the vehicle unapologetically. If he himself didn’t feel embarrassed, why should she? Xyla on the other hand felt the complete opposite. “Maybe you’ve gone drunk! If you want to ride on that thing, go ahead and knock yourself out! Like hell, I’m gonna go in with you though. I’ll be waiting for you outside the venue. And you! Don’t you forget what happened today, Gerald!” After that, Xyla hailed a taxi and left for the venue in a hurry. After all, she needed to be where her boyfriend was as soon as possible. “I think it’s better if you don’t go. Listen, my little sister’s whipping up a real good meal. Why don’t you come over to my place and have a meal together? It’s on my tab!” Gerald offered.After all, Gerald and Vincy still had the kind of friendsh

The security guards, who were standing at the entrance shouted out to the businessmen who were standing out in the courtyard.The rich folks then hastily, but excitedly rushed forwards to welcome the newly-arrived guest.“D*mn! Why is there an electric tricycle parked at the entrance? What are you doing? Get lost kid!” The security guard came over and shoved Gerald aside forcefully. “Oh God, how embarrassing!” Feeling humiliated, Xyla covered her eyes. “If there’s anything you’d like to say, say it nicely. Why did you push me around? I’ll leave now, alright!?” Gerald stepped on the gas pedal and left. After the convoy rolled to a stop, a couple of middle-aged businessmen got out of the vehicles. There were their rich daughters and sons too. It quickly became clear that these were their most distinguished guests today.The other presidents lined up to welcome them. Pleasantries and greetings were exchanged.“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for giving me the honor to atte

Since there were so many people present earlier and she was already feeling so uncomfortable back then, Vincy had gotten off the electric tricycle in a hurry. She must’ve forgotten to take her bag along with her at that moment! “Oh no, how careless of you! Did you have a lot of cash in it?” asked Xyla. “Having my money stolen is the last thing I’m worried about! I just hope that Gerald eventually notices it! If it gets left behind, my cell phone, identity card, and bank cards will all be gone!” replied Vincy. “Hey! Why are you doing back here? Does this look like a car park to you?” At that moment, a commotion could be heard from the entrance. Upon closer inspection, a few security guards seemed to be trying to prevent a young man from entering the area. “My friend’s forgotten her bag! I just want to pass it to her!” The young man in question was none other than Gerald! “Have a good look at what kind of place this is! Do you think that anyone can just enter this place all

Vincy herself simply lowered her head without saying a word. Meanwhile, Xavion finally realized that Gerald was present and when he did, he became so excited that his lips began trembling. “M-Mr. Crawford! You’re here!” Assuming that Gerald hadn’t wanted to attend the party since he looked down on all the ordinary rich people who were attending, Xavion didn’t continue pestering him after that call. Yet here he was, standing before him right now! “Greetings, Mr. Crawford!” said Mr. Larson and his group, replying to Gerald’s earlier greeting as they took a step forward before bowing slightly before him. At that moment, silence enveloped the entire area. Many of the guests were so surprised that their jaws were now hanging wide. Why were all these wealthy and powerful figures bowing down to this young man who had arrived on an electric tricycle? What more, Chairman Gordon appeared to be trembling earlier as he spoke! Xyla’s breathing was growing heavier by the minute. Her

Hearing Chairman Gordon’s stern voice, Xyla could no longer bring herself to laugh out loud anymore. …Was… Was it really true? Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever she saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take him seriously. It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much? Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him? How could any of this truly be? As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others. The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now. As he left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see him off. Before he was able to leave, Elena whispered something into her father’s ear before sticking her tongue out. She wanted to leave tog

Ignoring Yael’s question for the moment, Yunus then asked, “Didn’t you secretly take several photos? Let me see who else was there!” After being handed the photos, Yunus individually scanned through them before slamming his hands on the table in anger. He had found the perpetrator! “D*mn it all! It really is Gerald! It’s that god d*mned Mr. Crawford again!” Not only had Yunus been repeatedly humiliated by Gerald on his birthday, he had also been grounded the moment he returned that day! All the prestige he had accumulated over the years was gone. Just like that. Yunus hated that person to the core. “He’s Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?” asked Yael who had obviously heard about Gerald before. Hearing Yael’s question, Yunus took the opportunity to detail all his grudges and grievances against Gerald to him. “Hahaha! No wonder everything seemed to be running so smoothly for Jasmine despite not even utilizing any of the men from the Fenderson family! She had such a powerful perso

Upon screeching to a halt right beside Queta, a few people slid the van door open and immediately tried dragging her in! “Queta!” shouted Aunt Fenderson who was already returning from the shop by the time she saw the suspicious van driving toward her daughter. She then began running toward the poor girl who was desperately struggling to escape from her captors. The captors themselves were still trying to drag her into the van. In her anxiety, she bit down hard on one of the masked men’s arms! Shouting in pain, the already strong man then roughly pushed Queta aside, sending her falling straight for the ground! As a result, the back of Queta’s head hit a bump on the side of the road and she immediately fainted from the hard impact. By the time Xara got to the group of men, they were already carrying the now unconscious Queta into the van. In her attempt to prevent them from taking her away, Xara immediately began wildly hitting the men. However, no matter how desperately she
