“They’re done for. Gerald, I heard that the Moore family is dependent on an especially large and influential family in Salford Province—the Schuyler family. They could quite literally do anything and get away with it scot-free!” Marven proceeded to explain the complex familial and political relations within Salford Province.Both Jasmine and Mindy, who were sitting in front of them overheard their conversation rather clearly.It was pretty clear that they were eavesdropping when Marven mentioned the Schuyler family. Jasmine tilted her head the moment they reached this topic.After a short while, they heard footsteps outside of the classroom.Finally, the students who should have been here ages ago filed into the classroom.Isabelle was the last person to enter the class. Stella was the one who propped her up. Both of Isabelle’s cheeks were flushed red from all the slaps she had received. Besides that, she was crying vehemently. As she was crying, she said, “I didn’t realize

Yael said. Just when Jasmine stopped paying attention, he took the chance and grabbed her hand. “Get lost!’ Jasmine reacted almost instantaneously. She shoved away Yael’s hand. The force with which she shook off his grip was so strong that it smashed the fresh flowers Yael was holding into the ground. Yael stared at the roses which were scattered all over the floor. He was stupefied. In the university, there were a lot of girls who passed by them. They all stopped in their tracks and stared at the scene before them.“Wow! Did he literally just get shot down!?” “Ha ha! This guy seems so well dressed. Did he still get turned down by the Goddess herself?” “That’s right. Ain’t no way our Goddess will give away her love and affection to some random chap.” The girls couldn’t help but cover their mouths as they mocked Yael. After all, looks weren’t the only thing women looked at when judging a man. They would still have to consider his style, how his clothes fit him, how ex

At that moment, Gerald drove his car straight to Barry’s villa.When he reached that place, he discovered that there were lots of cars parked outside the gates.Barry had very complicated interpersonal relationships. There were tons of people who wanted to see him. Knowing this, Gerald wasn’t even remotely surprised at the discovery. It only meant that he had to park his car further away from the house. Walking into the place, he found that Barry was indeed loaded with jobs to do. There was quite a long line leading up to the door of his office.It was more or less like what Zack experienced. There were lots of people standing outside the door. It seemed like Barry had to see every single one of them.Gerald chuckled painfully to himself. After that, he approached the villa.“Maia, how long are we going to wait? There are tons of people here. My dad hasn’t returned home yet. I’m worried sick!” Standing at the side, Isabelle and the others waited.At that moment, they we

At that moment, Maia said, “Actually, I’m not sure if we’re even friends at the moment. Even if I asked him to help me, it’s quite likely that he’ll turn me down. But I’ll give it a try!” She reluctantly whipped out her cell phone and called Gerald’s number.She felt conflicted about this. To be forced to beg for help from someone who she was looking down on. Not to mention the fact that she had once hurt him with painful words in the past.But she indeed needed Gerald’s help to resolve that issue. It did not occur to Gerald that Maia, who was as proud as a peacock, would call him up at this moment.In that instant, he burst out laughing to himself.“What’s wrong?” Gerald asked. “Gerald, you… do you know Mr. Zartyr?” Maia’s voice was extremely soft. “Yes, I do know him! Just tell me what you want to say!” Gerald said lightly. “You should be aware that we’re in great trouble now. If you do know him, I hope that you can help introduce us to him or at the very least, menti

That woman kept addressing her as “young lady”. They appeared to be in a hurry, and they wanted to stay there. But there was one thing which puzzled the old man. That woman claimed that they did not have money at that moment and that they would need to wait until the next afternoon before someone could send them the money. Hence, they asked the old man not to worry about that.But the old man had been running the hotel for some long now. He was a seasoned veteran in the game of life.How would he be willing to compromise? Realizing that they had failed to persuade him, the beautiful woman, who was holding the baby, took out a jade pendant and handed it to the old man. Fortunately, the old man was an antique enthusiast. The moment he saw that jade pendant, he knew instantly that it was an expensive item. He saw a name—Xara which was being engraved on that jade pendant clearly. He slowly realized that they might have special origins.Hence, he did not dare to offend them.H
