“I don’t care if you hold any grudges against me. It’s not like I can even fight you!” sneered Mila. “Oh, it’s not about that. I just don’t understand why everyone likes you but hates me. Even though everyone knows that you’re the one who stole the ring, I’m sure that they’re all still going to think about your wellbeing first! In fact, I’m certain they’ll start saying that I’m the one who framed you!” “I don’t want to hear it. However, I believe that the truth will prevail in the end!” said Mila as she tried to leave. “Stop right there! I’m the ‘Big Sister’ here! You can’t just ignore me like that!” shouted Hallie as she grabbed Mila’s arm and forcefully pulled her back. A second later, Mila could feel a burning sensation on her cheek. Hallie had just slapped her! “I’m going to go ahead and say it now. I’ve been meaning to teach you a lesson for the longest time! I’ve held myself back every time others praised you, but there’s no need for me to put up with your bullsh*t anym

After all, even she would be able to show off slightly if he truly came. “What are you guys talking about?” said Hallie with a snicker as she approached Mila and Molly who had been whispering to each other for a while now. “Nothing much. Also, Hallie, while it’s true that you’ve been freely toying around with us, don’t ever try to cross the line. Consider this to be a fair warning if you wish to live to see another day! I’ve already told you that Mila’s boyfriend is Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, an extremely powerful man! He may even come today, and if he does, well… You’ll just have to wait to find out!” replied Molly. “Hahaha! Oh no… I’m terrified… Please, I’ve heard of several rich people in my life, but never have I heard of… What’s his name again? Crawford from Mayberry? Haha!” sneered Hallie sarcastically. “Oh, you just wait and see, Hallie! You just wait and see!” said Molly in response. As soon as her sentence ended, the crowd’s excitement seemed to suddenly escalate as

As soon as they saw the young woman step out, everyone in the two rows immediately bowed deeply. The woman with snow-white skin—who looked to be around twenty-seven years old—had a pair of branded sunglasses on. She also wore extremely expensive-looking clothes, complemented by the blazer draped over her shoulders. As she continued chewing on her gum, she tilted her shoulders slightly, allowing her blazer to seamlessly fall off her shoulders. One of her bodyguards caught on to it before it even managed to touch the ground. Even from afar, everyone could see that all the bodyguards surrounding her had equally fierce gazes in their eyes. They also seemed to be extremely capable and strong. These were the kinds of bodyguards who would most definitely be prepared to tackle any sort of situation that they had to face. While she was extremely charming, the woman had an extremely strong aura as well, pressuring a lot of the present people to not even dare to take a breath. As she sc

Almost everyone present at the scene was stunned speechless. While Molly was equally terrified and sad for Mila as she watched her good friend get shoved to the floor, Hallie was contrastingly sneering like there was no tomorrow. President Crawford herself, who was getting a massage at that moment, pretended like she had seen nothing. “Humph! How bold of you to offend Mr. Crawford! If I don’t personally teach you a lesson now, you’ll never learn!” shouted Yoel as he raised his arm, seemingly ready to beat Mila up. However, before he could launch his first blow, he paused right in the nick of time. He had noticed just in time, that the lock screen on Mila’s phone—which had earlier fallen to the side—contained Mr. Crawford’s photograph! “…Hmm? What?!” said Yoel, startled. “Do you know Mr. Crawford?” asked Yoel, clearly surprised to see his godbrother’s photo in some assisting staff member’s phone. He then picked her phone up, trying hard to figure out who she really was.

Early the next morning, Gerald—accompanied by Barry and Queta—went looking for the master that Barry had mentioned the previous night. The master lived in a scenic spot atop a mountain. Since a bit more time was needed before they were going to get the final results, both Barry and Queta continued waiting there. Gerald himself walked quite a distance away from the place to make a call to his sister. It was only last night when Gerald found out that she had finally returned from abroad. He had always thought that he would be among the first to meet his sister as soon as she returned. After all, he missed her dearly since both of them hadn’t met for so long. During the call, Jessica told him that she was attending some kind of grand function. She also mentioned that she wanted to meet Gerald there. However, after Gerald explained that he was busy doing something for their father, she didn’t have much else to say. A while later, Gerald ended the call and was just about to head
