“I refuse! After all, he’s already said that he would come today! As for all that you’ve said, I’ve already taken all that into consideration the night before! That’s the reason why I arranged to meet up with him at the entrance of the hotel!” said Noelle. With her beauty and how meticulous she was with details, it was hard not to call Noelle a goddess. Just as Yulisa had said, Noelle had taken into consideration that Gerald had probably never stepped foot into a five-star hotel like this before. With that in mind, she had a feeling that he would definitely be feeling slightly timid and pressured. Due to that, Noel had told him to meet up with her at the hotel’s entrance so that they could enter together! However, though they had agreed to meet up at nine that morning, it was nearing nine forty now yet Gerald still couldn’t be seen anywhere! In fact, he hadn’t even read any of Noelle’s messages on WhatsApp! Due to all that, Noel truly couldn’t help but wonder whether Gerald rea

As the big burly men immediately surrounded Gerald, ready to assault him, Gerald could tell that this wasn’t their first rodeo doing this. The woman herself was waiting for the thugs to grab hold of Gerald so that she could give him two tight slaps across his face to vent out all her frustration. To everyone’s surprise, the moment one of the men rushed over, Gerald simply launched a swift kick to his stomach, sending the hundred and twenty kilogram man flying a good twenty meters away! Everyone could only stare wide-eyed as the thug collided with the middle-aged man’s Hummer, causing all of the car’s windows to shatter into pieces! As the glass shards scattered across the road, the woman instantly began screaming in shock. Even her husband was flabbergasted by the turn of events. After all, everyone had simply assumed that Gerald was just a poor young man. Nobody could’ve anticipated him to be this powerful! After seeing what happened to their ally, the remaining thugs didn’t

The atmosphere at Noelle’s birthday banquet changed as soon as Gerald arrived.This was especially so for Gracie’s emotions. It would not be an exaggeration to describe that all of her menopausal symptoms for the next thirty years of her life had an outbreak at this exact moment.Anyone could tell that her daughter, Noelle, had a very unusual relationship with this young man. As a person who had already gone through all of these experiences before, Gracie could tell that her daughter seemed to be interested in this young man.However, Noelle was very indifferent toward Preston.If Gracie allowed this to develop any further, it would certainly be very troublesome if Preston was offended.Under this kind of situation, as Noelle’s mother, Gracie could not just let this pass without coming up with a solution.She could not simply continue watching as her daughter took one step after the other into an abyss, right?!Therefore, Gracie was in a foul mood, and she was very unfriendly to

At this time in the lobby, all of the staff were all dressed up, and they were all ready, solemnly and respectfully. Even the hotel staff were not an exception.All of them had already assembled in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.Everyone was very excited when they heard that the chairman was personally making a trip here today. There had never been such a thing before.The manager, Hazen, had also put on a suit at this time as he stood aside in preparation to greet and meet the chairman.He was extremely nervous at this time.“Aunt Wauter, Uncle Shadwell, I know a lot of uncles from the Longthorne Group. Since they are coming over here, I would like to go down and greet them. Otherwise, if they find out that I did not go down to greet them when they are here, they might actually blame me for being ignorant!”At this time, in the private room, Preston put down the wine glass in his hand and spoke up as he looked at Gracie.“Oh, of course! Preston, you must know of man

“Gerald? Are you full already?” asked Noelle as she attempted to stop him from leaving. The subsequent birthday party was extremely hasty if anything, mainly due to what happened a while back. Even so, nobody dared to speak up any longer, especially Gracie who had remained obediently quiet this entire time. “Indeed I am!” “I see… By the way, Gerald, my mom wanted me to ask you what you did for a living…” asked Noelle in a soft tone, though it was evident that she was curious about that as well. After all, everyone had seen how Chairman Wadder treated Gerald earlier. “Me? Good question! I wonder what I do for a living myself!” Hearing that, Noelle simply replied with a laugh. Gerald was getting more and more mysterious by the second… “Actually… Could… it be that you’re the legendary and mysterious Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City…?” asked Noelle again, her voice gentle. By that point, Gracie and the others had gathered behind Noelle. All of them were holding onto their br
