“…That… Well, when he grabbed you, I simply took the chance to slide down the slope! All I needed to do after that was to take a detour back to where the cars were!” explained Gerald. “I see! I didn’t expect you to be that smart!” replied Tulip in shock. Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head in silence. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, Gerald squinted his eyes and saw that several other luxury cars were currently speeding toward them. Once the cars surrounded the area, Tulip immediately yelped. “Oh god! That’s my dad’s car! Nicole must’ve told him that I’m here! I’m definitely ruined now!” said Tulip as she quivered in fear. Seconds later, a middle-aged man stepped out of the car and walked toward her before anxiously asking, “Are… Are you fine, second young lady…?” “H-humph! If you had arrived any later, then you wouldn’t have been able to see me anymore!” replied Tulip, a hint of fear still lingering in her voice. “Thank goodness we made it in time, then…

“How are things looking?” asked Gerald. “Well, the lecturer who took our laboratory time from us was beaten up! Mr. Yoxon’s in deep trouble now! After all, he offended the young master of the Lightburn family! If you aren’t aware, the young master of the Lightburn family is under the protection of underground forces!” explained Specky. Hearing that, Gerald looked ahead and saw Quinlan surrounded by a group of men donning black suits. Marjorie and a few other female lecturers were also present, all of them frozen in fear. “We’re far from done!” shouted one of the men in black as he glared at Quinlan. Quinlan himself appeared to have several clear slap marks on his cheeks. As the university’s chancellor continued trying to calm the situation down, Quinlan simply wiped the blood off his glasses before sneering, “It’s fine, chancellor. Just let me make a call and everything will be settled.” “Humph! Be my guest! Let’s see who you call over!” scoffed the man angrily. Shaking his

Though he was dissatisfied, Mr. Lightburn wasn’t a fool. After listening to what his subordinate had to say, he understood what was at stake if he continued pushing on with the issue. Because of that, he didn’t say anything more. Gerald’s Royal Dragon Group itself had developed at an immense rate in the past few days. After all, it now had help from the five forces it had acquired in Talgo Town. What more, both Tyson and Drake—who had been beaten up terribly by Sven—were now back at Gerald’s side. Though their main base was still in Talgo Town, they had recently begun developing in Heavenly City as well. Their efforts in doing so, of course, had been greatly aided by the Westley family. “The Royal Dragon Group truly is a powerful dark horse!” muttered Specky—who had been standing next to Gerald this entire time—to himself. “I wonder how they got so powerful so quickly…” asked a few girls who heard Specky’s comment. “Well, from what I’ve heard, the Royal Dragon Group’s boss is

Just like Tulip, the woman was very beautiful, and both of them resembled each other a lot. However, Gerald could see that while Tulip had a more innocent look to her, the woman, in contrast, looked much more mature. “That’s him, sister!” said Tulip with a soft tone as she pointed at Gerald. Hearing that, she scanned Gerald briefly from head to toe before nodding slightly. Following that, she grabbed her bag and got up to leave. While Gerald did intend to at least greet her, she completely ignored him. Once she was gone, Tulip smugly said, “That was my elder sister, Juliet Yowell! What do you think? A beauty, isn’t she? Hah! Even if you deny it, I saw how wide your eyes were the moment you saw her!” Nodding slightly, Gerald simply replied, “So tell me, what did you want to meet me for?” “Well, it’s something good so of course I had to tell you in person. Actually, scratch good, it’s great news!” said Tulip before sighing. “The truth is, I’ve been looking for someone suita

With that, the memory of the incident came to an end. Looking at Gerald, Tulip could very much tell that he was deep in thought. Gerald himself was certainly not too excited about the fact that he was about to marry that beauty out of the blue. However, he was also thinking about the practicality of going along with it. Quite honestly, Tulip had made a good move in terms of advancing his plans. After all, as long as he was able to sneak into the Yowell family, then he would be able to put a stop to his vagabond lifestyle for at least a while. However, the main issue still remained. Why did he have to get married to such a strange woman just to achieve that? A better question yet, would his choice of actions be answerable to Mila later on? “So, how about it? Haha! Just so you know, the marriage will only last for a year. Once that year is up, you’ll need to divorce her. However! The Yowell family will be sure to present you with a massive amount of money once that happens. I

A hint of slight resentment could be heard in the man’s voice as he pointed at Gerald. “Indeed! This is my husband, Gerald!” replied Juliet as she locked arms with Gerald. “Gerald, this is Cavan, a classmate of mine from university!” added Juliet as she introduced him to the man. “A pleasure to meet you!” said Gerald as he reached a hand out in accordance with the etiquettes Juliet had earlier taught him. “I truly can’t comprehend what goes on in your mind… Even if you broke up with him, you could’ve easily just gone for anyone else other than this guy…” muttered Cavan. Noticing Juliet’s warning gaze, however, Cavan simply stopped talking. It was evident that Cavan was one of Juliet’s suitors. That explained why he completely ignored Gerald’s handshake as well. Cavan wasn’t the only one treating Gerald that way though. Many of Juliet’s other male classmates shot equally hostile gazes toward him, refusing to say a word to Gerald at all. Even her female classmates were star

Cavan, on the other hand, couldn’t help but shake his head as he smiled wryly. All humans had a limit to their alcohol tolerance, and he would definitely make Gerald drink till he exceeded his. True to his word, his classmate’s family truly did own a winery. Cavan was certain that he would be able to completely ruin Gerald since his classmate—whom he also considered to be his brother—and his father were both extremely tolerant toward alcohol. In fact, after a check-up, their bodies apparently had access to a lot more alcohol breaking enzymes compared to regular people! He had once seen his classmate drink seven whole bottles of extremely high alcohol percentage liquors, back to back, before finally reaching his limit. Seven whole bottles of alcohol! With that in mind, Cavan felt that Gerald would already be bleeding from his stomach long before his classmate even got too drunk. Now that all of them were ready, the rules were simple. Each of the five participating people—inclu

After saying that, Juliet simply frowned before adding, “…You know what? I don’t care anymore. She can just do whatever she wants to, right?” With that, Juliet drove both of them home. Upon returning home, both of them were greeted to the sight of a glamorous woman sitting on the sofa. As soon as she saw Gerald and Juliet, she immediately stood up and pointed at Gerald before saying, “So he’s Gerald? What right does a person like him have to enter the Yowell family?” The woman who had just insulted Gerald was of course, Juliet’s mother who went by the name of Heidi. Heidi had been notified about her daughter’s marriage while she was still abroad. The moment she found out that Juliet had gotten married to some wimpy man, she ended up immediately passing out! When she woke up, however, she instantly booked a flight straight for home. All that led to the current scene. “Like that has anything to do with you. My marriage with him is a personal matter that doesn’t require your i
