Gerald said with a smile on his face.In the past, Xyla was also a member of the high school competition team. He remembered that she was in the same class as Vincy, so her academic results must’ve been really good.But how about her personality? She was the sunny type of girl, the type of girl who just oozed youthful vibes wherever she went. She vaguely resembled Maia in terms of appearance.But they were different. Xyla had a lot of guy friends. Those guys were either ruffians who were terrible at their studies but with good social relations, or they were rich kids from influential families. In short, she was a girl who enjoyed a lot of connections, and she enjoyed herself vehemently. Despite this, her academic results were particularly outstanding. She was also a rather emotional girl. Moreover, Gerald had all sorts of brief episodes with her in the past which were unspeakable, to say the least. Hmph! Now, it seemed like Xyla had gotten into Salford University wit

Vincy was stuck between a rock and a hard place. After all, she was the one who invited Gerald. But now her two best friends were in a squabble with each other, so it was only natural that she started feeling anxious about it.“A trivial affair? Vincy, do you really think that what happened during our high school days was just a trivial affair?” Seems like Xyla still harbored resentment towards Gerald for what had happened ages ago. “You remember the competition we participated in that year, and we won. After we came back, the school treated the twenty of us to a meal in the city. After the meal, there were only a few of us left. Hence, we played truth or dare. I was defeated, so I had to choose a person there to confess my love to. Did you forget about that?”Xyla said. “Of course I remember it. I know that you didn’t like Gerald back then. But in order to play safe, you confessed your love to him. Still remember how he just came back from helping out the teacher when you did

“I think that Chairman Gordon might have mistaken him for someone else. Or is that guy a driver of some kind of big shot? How is it possible? The most distinguished person who has come here today is Chairman Gordon, isn’t it?” The others started to discuss ceaselessly. “Mr. Crawford, you must’ve been so busy that you’ve forgotten about it. You might have forgotten about me. You don’t know me, but I know you. Haha! Here is my name card.” Chairman Gordon smiled happily and said. Before this, it would’ve been impossible for him to have any kind of contact with Mr. Crawford. But he was the host of this event today, so the tables have turned in his favor. Surprisingly, Mr. Crawford chose to attend this event of his without prior notification.Gerald took the name card and glanced at it. Chairman Gordon was involved in the development of real estate. He found the name of Chairman Gordon’s company rather familiar. “Mr. Crawford, we met each other during Miss Larson’s birthday

“Humph! I know, Gerald must’ve been weirded out from sitting there all alone. I bet he ran away all on his own! That scaredy-cat!”Xyla seemed to have found something which she could rant on and on about.Vincy only shook her head slightly in resignation. Currently, she wanted to give Gerald a call and ask him where he had gone. But after seeing how infuriated Lennard appeared, she refrained from making that call. Gerald finally knew about the theme of Chairman Gordon’s party that day when Chairman Gordon mentioned Mountain Top Villa in Mayberry. He was afraid that things would get awkward if he lingered around there any longer.It would be bad if the others recognized him. Especially in front of Xyla. Gerald walked out of the hall before crap hit the fan.After all, he went there to have some fun at Vincy’s request. But he still had a lot of things which he needed to deal with, which was partly why he couldn’t stay there for very long.He was about to return to his ro

“You don’t have to be like that. Ah, to be frank, tracking a thing down is easy peasy. What I’m worried about now is that there’s indeed another group of influential people who shares the same aim as us. As if that isn’t bad enough, it seems that their level of expertise is on par with the professionals we have on our team. That’s what I need to worry about!” Jasmine massaged her brow ridge as she said, “Looks like we’re a step ahead of them. But it’s not as useful as you think. We’re out in the open but our enemies are still well-hidden from us. There’s a possibility that they'll launch a surprise attack at any moment. Worse still, our Fenderson family might be exposed just like that. We don’t even know who they are. That’s why I have been acting gloomy and anxious all this while!” “Haha! Is that so? Now that’s easy peasy. I have a way!” Mindy said happily. “You?” Jasmine smiled slightly. “Hmph! Jasmine, you might think that I’m a carefree girl. But I’m quite smart too. This
