Gerald put on the rest of his clothes before speaking again.“But you should know that your situation has been reversed now. With my presence, you're far from helpless. You have the authority and backup to deal with these money laundering crimes. I don't want to buy out all these shareholders, because I find it better to keep a united front. So I prefer to put an end to these crimes being done under the cover of my company.” Chase Gregory nodded his head, feeling much calmer at this point.“I understand, Sir. From now on, I'll utilize the new policies you've distributed to erase any dealings of money laundering under the name of PTA.”The CEO will never forget today. Gerald had simply been too dazzling.With such a composed and observant bearing, there was no way Gerald grew up without being trained properly in the art of a business leader, right?In Chase Gregory's view, even if Gerald was a born genius in this art, he would still need to be trained before being able to show this m

That evening, Freddy was in his bedroom, fuming. His father had ended up grounding him for the next two weeks with no allowance for the next three months.Feeling the need to distract himself, Freddy tried calling Amara but she refused to pick his calls. He had decided to call his friend, Alex, instead when a housekeeper came to take his phone away, on his father's orders, of course.By midnight, Freddy felt like he was going to lose his mind when his mother came inside his room with two maids carrying various snacks.As soon as Freddy saw her, he melted with a pathetic expression on his face as he hurried over to her, revealing himself to be a Mama’s boy who puts on an oppressive demeanor in public.He quickly went and wrapped his arms around her.“Mom, thank goodness you're here! Can you believe that Dad took my phone away?!”Sofia Rhodes sighed as she gently patted her son's back.“I heard.”Freddy shook his head and stomped his feet twice. “Dad is being too much! Tell him to giv

Juliet looked incredibly gorgeous in a low turtle-neck, long sleeved top with a gold fitting leather mini-skirt that accentuated her figure perfectly. She had the right makeup on her face with her hair let down in waves to her waist.She looked so gorgeous that none of the five ladies behind her could even dim her light in the slightest. Not in Gerald's eyes, at least.Juliet was quite happy to be here as she gazed at the outfits that Terry and Gerald had on.“Oh my goodness, look at you guys!”She hurried forward to hug Terry first, before going to hug Gerald, when she stopped to really admire his outfit.“Ger, you look really good.”For a miniscule of a second, a look of something unexpected flashed through her eyes, and Gerald was y even sure if he truly saw what he saw. But he ignored it as he hugged her back.“Thanks. Crimson & Crown sent it over on my order. I didn't know how to feel about it at first, but your compliment definitely makes me feel much better.”Before Juliet cou

Terry was glad that Gerald had stopped him from taking back his money from the scared staff. He was furious that he almost accepted this act of bullying from Alex and Susan.“What the heck?! Alex, last time I checked, your family is not the owner of Blue Valley Club, and no one in your family is a shareholder! So what gives you the right to stop us from reserving a private booth?!”Alex gave Terry a look of disdain.“What the fuck are you? You've actually grown enough balls between your legs to talk to me?!”He pointed a finger at Terry.“Listen, I know where you work, okay? That insignificant cafe not far from here. That's where you get the bit of money you survive on, right? I could easily make your manager fire your ass within the next 24 hours if you piss me off.”Alex wasn't aware of what had happened to Cheerio-Law Cafe, and thus he was under the impression that it was still the same simple high-end cafe where he could exercise his influence.Terry sneered at Alex, boldly walki

Seeing the chance to cause Gerald more trouble, Alex quickly spoke before Gerald could utter a word.“That's right. His name is Gerald Stark. He's always been a troublemaker.”The leader of the bouncers stared at Gerald with a slight shake of his head.“I've never seen you here before.”Once again, Alex spoke for Gerald.“That's because he's new. This is his first night here.”Susan rushed over to the bouncer's side.“Sir, you need to deal with that bastard! Back on campus, he's known to be a bully. I mean, look at what he did to one of your men. That should tell you everything you need to know about him!”Juliet couldn't take this anymore. She took a few steps closer to the leader of the bouncers.“Susan, what the fuck are you talking about about?! If there's a bully at WU, it's you and the shameless asshole you call a boyfriend!”Susan glared at Juliet, internally cursing at her for trying to ruin this plan by calling out her lies. To counter this, she feigned a worried expression.
