“Mom… Aren’t we being a bit too cruel…? Gerald’s not to be trifled with! If the truth ever gets out and Jessica realizes that we were involved…” Within their own room, Yura was now talking in an extremely worried manner to his mother. In response, Rose sneered, “In for a penny, in for a pound! It’s not like we can help it! We were already running out of options from the moment we decided to snatch the right to inherit the Yaleman family from Bea. With Gerald dead, we won’t have any more enemies! If we’re lucky, the properties up North—that Gerald gave Bea—may even eventually fall into our hands!” assured Rose. “For now, we can only pray that Sheldon doesn’t mess up. After all, I’m aware of how much Gerald trusts that butler!” added the villainous mother. “But… But what if someone finds out about the poison?” “Worry not, the poison I picked was both colorless and odorless. Besides, even if someone does manage to detect the poison, Sheldon’s the one who technically killed Mr. C

Obeying his orders, a few subordinates then descended the stairs. However, even after they went down, no noise followed. Everything was quiet. Too quiet. It was at that moment when Shane realized that something was terribly wrong. “You there, you stay guard here. The rest of you follow me downstairs!” ordered Shane as a lone subordinate stood at attention in the room while the rest of them descended the stairs together with Shane. The moment Shane arrived at the last step, however, he stopped. The room was pitch black and not a sound could be heard. Before he could even proceed any further, he felt a sharp pain against the back of his head! He could only assume that someone had smashed his head with a bat before he eventually passed out. It was late that night when Gerald and a very exhausted Bea finally made it back to Bea’s room. As she fell asleep almost instantaneously, Gerald covered her with a blanket before leaving the room. Standing right outside her room was a

“How truly luxurious!” added the other women in surprise. Curious to know what kinds of big shots drove such expensive-looking cars, Marilyn and the others chose to wait near the door to see who got out. A few of them even got their compact mirrors out and started touching up their makeup! After all, if the ones who got out of the car were rich, young heirs, who’s to say that they wouldn’t end up falling for one of them? Haha! Eventually, a group of black-suited bodyguards got out of the cars before finally opening the door to the most expensive-looking car. Out stepped a rather familiar-looking rich heir… “…Hey. Isn’t… Isn’t that Gerald?” asked Marilyn, stupefied by what she was seeing. “Giya, that’s… That’s Gerald, isn’t it?” repeated Marilyn as she started hopping excitedly in place. In response, Giya nodded before saying, “It is!” “My god! Gerald… To think that he actually has a team of cars… What exactly is going on here…?” Her shock was warranted since previously,

The moment the sack was opened, the others saw an unconscious young man who had been beaten up terribly. “S-Shane!” shouted Master Long nervously when he saw how badly beaten up the boy was. “Now, now, let’s not be impatient! There’s still more!” said Philip as he, too, stepped forward. With a swift gesture, one of Philip’s men tossed a bag over to Master Long. As it landed at his feet, its contents spilled out. “…What’s this?” “I… I recognize whose clothes these are! They’re the kind of clothes that Mr. Yunus usually wears!” shouted someone from within the crowd. “I’m sure you’ve been looking everywhere for him, right? The truth is, Yunus drove off a cliff and these tattered clothes were the only remains we could find,” explained Philip. “W-what…?” Master Long was assaulted by both immense anger and grief as he heard those words. “G-Gerald… How arrogant of you and your sister! Bullying us this way… Do you honestly think that there’s nobody capable of standing against y

“Appreciate the cooperation. We’ll come over to take the properties from you in seven days,” said Philip. With that, Gerald began leaving and his subordinates followed behind him. The other guests didn’t dare remain there either after witnessing the terrible incident that had just befallen the Long family. They, too, hurried out after Gerald’s men were gone. “Dad… Why? Why did you sign it?! What’s the big deal? We could’ve just fought against them! After all, we’re not afraid to die!” cried out one of the middle-aged men. A harsh slap from Master Long was his immediate response! “You b*stard! Do you truly want our entire family to be ruined beyond the point of no return? Do you wish for the Longs to have no descendants to leave behind?!” roared Master Long glaring at him fiercely as his lips continued twitching furiously. “We’ve been completely defeated by the Crawford siblings this time! While we’ve continuously plotted against them in secret all these years, their backgro

In response, Master Long simply sighed. “Well, that’s good too. It’s better to just let Shaw live happily…” “However, even though we haven’t contacted Kort for so many years, our family’s still continued prospering!” said Joel. “Humph! But of course! I assume Kort never launched another attack on us since his father died not too long after. Due to him passing on, Kort was involved in a fight for the post of the Moldell family’s second master. That naturally meant that he wouldn’t have had the time to bother us for a good, long while. While I’m not sure what became of him, based on the fact that he’s a natural schemer, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume that he truly did end up becoming the Moldell family’s second master.” “I see… Do you plan to get help from Kort to deal with the Crawfords?” asked Joel who was starting to see the bigger picture now. “Well, your guess is half right. I’m not directly asking him for help. After all, if I do that, then as I’ve said before, the

“Hey sis, I know you were hurt by Narc once but take a look at his wife. She’s such a materialistic person!” Yselle said. Winnie glared at her angrily. “Shut up! How many times did I tell you not to remind me of him! Don’t even get me started with that woman!” “Y-yes...I know, sis. I know how much you hate that dreaded woman. I swear I won’t repeat this again!” Yselle's eyes were tearing up as she spoke.Realizing that she had been too harsh, Winnie caressed Yselle’s head and said, “I’m just trying to look out for you. That Gerald guy reeks of money. He only has what all materialistic people want. Money. He doesn’t deserve to have any ties with our family. We are only here to help him on behalf of our master’s son, to keep our promise with them. We, the Moldells’ unlike the rest of the world, take our promises seriously!” “So, even if you have the slightest feelings for Gerald, there is no way the both of you could be together. I’ll definitely stand against it!” There was a glim

He was a man in his sixties but he looked as if he was only 50. He had a pair of sharp and bright eyes that would create a sense of unease in the person who stood before his gaze. “Why can’t we collaborate?” Parker asked. “Master Parker, I understand that your son was rescued by the Yalemans and that you owe them the favor. However, you broke the rules when you made a promise with them to help out the Crawfords!” “But you must know that Crawford's eldest heir, Gerald, has offended one of my good friends, the Long family. Hence, I demand an explanation from you folks on behalf of the Long family!” “Do you think you’ll still be able to help them now?” Kort said. Even though Kort addressed the 90-year-old Parker as ‘Master’, he was just the third master of the family and Kort was one step above him. Kort, being the Second Master, had a position that was higher than that of Parker in the family.“Long family?” Gerald started pondering what the Long family had to do with the Mold
