Chapter 903
With Mindy’s small hand being so smooth and warm, it wasn’t long before Gerald started feeling weird. Before he could even say anything, however, Mindy began dragging him over to a few small stone stools in the garden where both of them sat. “You know, Sanderson, I’ve been wondering why I keep finding you to be so familiar… After some thought, I think it’s because of how similar our past experiences are… While it’s true that I’m a rich young lady who’s been living in luxury all my life while you’ve had an extremely difficult past—even having to face such a miserable accident—both of us are similar in the way that neither of us had proper friends our entire lives,” explained Mindy. Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded slightly. “I resented that fact a lot when I was younger, you know? You may not know it, but because of a certain family, both Jasmine and I were grounded within the house for the longest time. That’s akin to torture for me since I’m the kind of person who simply ca

After seeing him nod, Mindy then said, “Go ahead and check on Jasmine first. Since she’s trained a lot recently, it’s probably the same issue again. I’ll wait for you here tomorrow night so that we can chat again!” said Mindy. Gerald then nodded in agreement as he began following the female servant to Jasmine’s room with his medical kit in hand. Once they got there, Gerald was greeted by the sight of Jasmine wearing a sling nightgown. Her hair hung loosely around her shoulders and her goddess-like appearance made Gerald momentarily stunned. “Since you were with Master Jenkinson for most of the morning, I felt that it would be rude to bother you then. I’m afraid I can only ask for your help at night,” said Jasmine with a faint smile on her face. “Ah! Ah!” replied Gerald as he gestured his response, an indication that he didn’t think much about it. Seeing that, Jasmine sat down before saying, “I appreciate it… See, my shoulder’s been aching occasionally ever since it got hurt s

It was no surprise why he had accidentally made that mistake. After all, Gerald was stunned to know that she actually had slight feelings for him. As far as Gerald remembered, he only ever had brief conversations with Jasmine, though he did admit to manipulating her slightly during some incidents. To think that she would end up falling for him just because of that… “Anyway, when the Fendersons went over to the Crawford family some time ago, we learned that he had gone missing. While I’ve sent a lot of people out to search for him, it’s already been a little over half a year by now yet there still isn’t any news about him… I still occasionally wonder whether he left on his own accord...” said Jasmine in a rather sad tone. “…Regardless, are you done?” asked Jasmine as she turned to look at Sanderson. At that, Gerald nodded before gesturing for her to get a good rest. Just as he was about to leave with his medical kit, however, he caught a glimpse of some prayer tools lying arou

“Cheers!” As Jasmine had said the night before, a church fair was held in town the very next morning. With everything looking so grand, it was no wonder why it was so crowded. “How lively!” said Mindy excitedly as she stood in the middle of the crowd. “Could you please be a little more reserved, Mindy?” said Jasmine rather helplessly. “Why should I be? Today’s an exciting day! Can’t you feel it? Seeing all the people here just makes me all giddy!” replied Mindy as Jasmine shook her head. “It’s fine once in a while, isn’t it Jasmine? Let’s just have a short stroll around before heading to the church to pray for our blessings later,” said their second aunt as she turned to look at the youth who had silently been following them from behind this entire time. “I apologize that you have to see the childish side of our family,” said the second aunt as she smiled. In response, Gerald shook his head. To be honest, even if they had prohibited Gerald from coming along, he would’v

She did so since half a year wasn’t nearly enough to change her arrogant attitude. As was expected, Maia still preferred only being around people with high statuses in society like Warren, Jasmine, and Mindy. Nobody could really blame her for that. Regardless, Gerald was far too busy keeping an eye out on his surroundings to even notice the contemptuous gazes from both Maia and Isabelle. “Hey Jasmine, look there! See those little candies those kids are holding? I like them a lot! I wonder where they bought those!” said Mindy a little while later as she pointed out the window at a few children who were passing by. The group was currently seated in a small shop while enjoying some coffee. “Oh, you do? I know where they’re selling them! It’s a little further up north, but I could bring you there if you’d like!” replied Maia. “That would be great!” said Mindy excitedly as she turned to look at Gerald. Mindy then smiled and said, “Come on, Sanderson! Join me! After all, you don’

“Hah! As if we wouldn’t know who you are! You’re Mindy, the second young lady of the Fenderson family! Also, Jasmine was indeed having coffee. Past tense of course, since she’s already been captured! You’re the only one left to deal with! Now walk!” ordered the man—who appeared to be the leader of the group—as he shoved Mindy rather harshly. As soon as he said that, the distant revving of engines could be heard. Moments later, a minibus could be seen speeding through the crowd toward them! “Get in the car!” commanded the man as soon as the vehicle came to a screeching halt before them. Not having any other choice, the trio simply obeyed. At that point, Gerald was still considering whether he should make a move now or continue waiting for a bit. After all, even though these people had guns with them, he didn’t really think that they were all that big a deal. At that moment, a static voice could be heard coming from a walkie-talkie, stating, “Are you done?” “Yes we are! It was

Gerald could only look at Maia in disbelief. To think that he had assumed that she would have a somewhat better impression of him after lending her a hand back then. So it was all just wishful thinking. All he could do was smile bitterly in resignation as he looked at the lost cause of a woman. “That’s enough. There’s no use talking about things like that now. What’s important is figuring out how we should escape!” said Warren. As soon as he said that, a shout was heard as the iron door creaked open. “Get in! All of you!” Following that, around thirty people—both young and old—were shoved into the place. All of them had sacks over their heads, just like how their group had been brought in earlier. When the sacks were removed, however, Jasmine was instantly shocked. “What? It’s you? So the rest… Did they actually capture all of you?!” exclaimed Jasmine, stupefied by the turn of events. “So you’ve been kidnapped as well, Miss! Those Schuylers truly are b*stards!” said on
Chapter 910
Immediately after saying that, Noah let out a sneer. Bryson himself was finally catching on to how cornered he truly was. He would’ve never imagined that the Schuylers were actually this capable. “You… Have you captured Jasmine and Mindy…?” “Humph. You have five minutes to consider it, Lord Fenderson. Also, don’t even bother relying on the board of directors. Rest assured that even those loyalest to you will be quick to sign and approve of it,” replied Noah, disregarding Bryson’s question entirely. “Fine, I’ll sign it! Still, I’d like you to clarify something. Have all of you truly become the Moldell’s lackeys?” asked Bryson with a resentful tone as he signed the agreement form. “Lackey is an unpleasant term, Lord Fenderson. I’m simply choosing to work with the wiser person! Do note that you were the one who brought this upon yourself! After all, you refused the Moldell family’s proposal to cooperate with them in search of Gerald within the Salford Province!” said Noah.
