“Ah, so it turns out that you have a rather distinguished guest here today! I apologize for taking quite a bit of your time… However, I do wonder who the guest could be for you to give him such high respect, Chairman Lovewell. After all, you’re an extremely powerful and influential person yourself!” said Xavia as she smiled while straightening her hair. “Haha! Due to the undergoing treasure exchange event, there are currently plenty of other distinguished people in the Logan Province! However, the distinguished guest I have with me now is a little different from the others… Regardless, why don’t we discuss other things for the moment? Worry not, for I’ll definitely find the time to carefully read through your cooperation proposal. Actually, since the event won’t end until a few more days, why don’t you stay here for the meantime, Miss Yorke? Once the treasure exchange event is over, we’ll officially negotiate how things will go. What do you think?” “It would be an honor, Chairman L

“…X-Xavia… W-we were wrong to treat you that way back then! Please, there’s just so much money here! It would be near impossible for us to get the exact amount down!” stuttered her second aunt who was no fool. Knowing full well that Xavia was finally back for her revenge, she begged to be released from her imminent torture. “Count it. Don’t make me repeat it a third time!” sneered Xavia as her second aunt instantly began crying out of fear. Not knowing what else to do, she squatted down and began counting the dollar bills, one by one. “Remember, I want the exact amount! No more and no less! Again, the money is yours once you get the final amount right. Get the amount wrong, however, then you can just keep on counting forever!” added Xavia with a smile before walking over to the side and drinking a glass of water that her subordinate had gotten for her. At the same time, a youth wearing a cap frowned under his mask as he continued observing Xavia’s actions from a far corner.

Haven was utterly shocked to see him there. She naturally remembered him since he had been quite an interesting guy when they first met on the train. In her disbelief, she opened the main door in her attempt to confirm whether she had really seen him. However, she could only catch a glimpse of ‘Gerald’s’ back as he stepped into a car before her father closed the door behind him. “Gerald!” shouted Haven as the cars swiftly drove off, unable to hear her cries. Scratching the back of her head, she wondered if it really had just been her imagination. After all, why would he be in her house? What more, her father certainly wouldn’t personally open a car door for someone like him! “Is something wrong, Haven?” asked Xareni as she and Quentin walked over to her. “You’ll never guess who I saw, sis!” “Who?” “I saw Gerald!” “And who is this, Gerald person?” asked Xareni with a slight frown. “Have you already forgotten? He’s the guy we met inside the train!” “That disgusting gu

“Deal!” replied Gerald with a smile. Gerald himself was done with doing favors for others. In order to get what he wanted, he knew that he had to become a selfish person. After all, at this point, there really wasn’t a reason for him to do things that didn’t benefit him anymore. The moment Gerald finally agreed to help, Kaleb and Theo were flung over to his direction and both of them landed at his feet. “Hahaha! Did you really bring these idiots over to defend you, Zander? Who else is there? Come on, now!” roared Damian before laughing hysterically. Upon hearing that, Gerald began walking calmly toward him. “…Hmm? What’s this then? A little boy? Is there truly nobody else from the Lovewell family? Who the hell even is this?” said Damian as he shook his head while looking at Gerald. “I’ve heard that you’ve been learning some skills that originated from Northeast Asia! Is that true?” asked Gerald as he looked back at Damian. Hearing that, Damian was temporarily stunned. Aft

“It’s me, Gerald!” Before Gerald could even say anything, the door to his room was pushed open and Haven popped her head in before entering. “Didn’t you head back to your room to rest, Haven? Why are you here again?” asked Gerald with a resigned smile on his face. Haven had immediately looked for him the moment he returned to the manor, intent on finding out how he was so powerful. Not seeing any reason to hide anything from her, Gerald had earlier chatted with her for a while before sending her off. He truly hadn’t expected to meet her again so soon. “Well, the more I thought about it back in my room, the more I felt that something just wasn’t right! Humph! You’re not being a very good friend at all! Have you already forgotten that we had agreed to be friends back when we were still on the train? It took me a moment to realize, but you never came looking for me in the end! How do you plan on explaining yourself?” said Haven as she took a seat. “Haha… Guilty as charged!”
