Cundrie herself felt her heartbeat quicken, utterly shocked by what Riley had just said. She was well aware that Riley was just doing all this in her attempt to dissuade Mr. Snyder from continuing to go after her. With the inclusion of a powerful and influential ‘rival’, they had hoped that Mr. Snyder would retreat after realizing that his competitor was much stronger than he was. However, Cundrie hadn’t expected her sister to actually exaggerate the facts this much! To think that she had even gotten Mr. Crawford from Mayberry involved! Meanwhile, Xyon and those from his family were all silent, not daring to say a word as their legs quivered in their stupefied state. After all, the family knew that Mr. Crawford’s subordinates were all very proficient in martial arts. Since—as Abner had said—Gerald was so strong, that meant that there was a high chance that he truly was Mr. Crawford’s subordinate! ‘Does… does that mean that we’ve offended Mr. Crawford…? Are we going to perpetu

After saying that, Gerald himself began wondering, ‘People from my family are coming over…? Who could they be?’ As for the others, many were clicking their tongues as they discussed how weird the turn of events was getting. “Humph! You’d better give it some thought if you aren’t truly Mr. Crawford’s subordinate! I’ll say it right now that I dared to state the possibility that you aren’t working under Mr. Crawford since there was once a case where someone pretended that they were him! After deceiving several people in Northbay, the real Crawfords eventually caught wind of what the impersonator was doing. From that day onward, that person—along with his family—simply vanished off the face of the planet! With that in mind, if you truly are an impersonator, now would be the time to confess! If you do, you’ll at least have a much higher chance of leaving alive!” said the youth from before. Hearing that, Riley immediately gulped in fear. It seemed that the incident had just gotten a lo

“You don’t have to look far, Mr. Lyle! For that person is among us! He’s the impersonator!” declared Xyon as he pointed at Gerald. Before Chairman Lyle could even turn to look, Abner and his girlfriend quickly ran over—clearly intending to show off—as they added, “Indeed, Chairman Lyle! You know he tried to trick everyone into believing that the real Mr. Crawford had invited Cundrie to Mountain Top Villa earlier! I assure you that everyone here can testify to my statement!” “What a b*stard!” roared Chairman Lyle as he immediately turned to look at where Xyon was pointing. Holding their breaths, everyone was ready to see Chairman Lyle flip out… However, they were instead greeted by the shocking sight of him trembling in place! He wasn’t the only one either. All the other Crawford bodyguards were equally as stupefied as Mr. Lyle was. “I-It’s not his fault! I was the one who had told him to impersonate Mr. Crawford! If there’s anyone that needs to be punished, it’s me! He was on

“With your blessings, I’ll make sure that that day comes! Thank you!” replied Gerald as he immediately turned to leave. Taking in a deep breath, Cundrie couldn’t help but feel slightly desolate as she watched him walk off into the distance. After Gerald was quite a distance away, Riley and her mother quickly returned to Cundrie’s side. “How did the conversation go, sister?” “Yes, why did Mr. Crawford leave just like that…? It wasn’t easy for both of you to even meet, you know? Aren’t there any feelings between both of you at all?” asked Cundrie’s mother, her voice filled with concern. “…Despite the fact that we’ve touched, it’s impossible for us to be together, mom. After all, I can tell that he truly loves his girlfriend… An extremely strong love…” While Gerald did have slight physical contact with her and Cundrie herself couldn’t deny that she had been touched by how gentle he was, in the end, she knew that she didn’t stand a chance against that Mila girl. With that in

The ones serving Felicity continued following her as they began heading over to a private room within Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. “Felicity!” shouted Gerald, though only a few extras seemed to have heard his shout. Turning to look at him, one of the extras then shouted back, “Hey, now! Lots of people come to see Felicity every day you know! Who do you even think you are? Go line up properly like the rest of them!” Hearing that, Gerald couldn’t help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He had only tried to catch up to her since he was feeling slightly touched to be able to meet up again with such an old acquaintance of his. Meanwhile, Felicity’s manager was carrying a stack of what seemed to be scripts as she said, “This here is a script written by an internet writer who goes by the name of ‘Two Ears is Bodhi’, Miss Nelson! It’s about a loser who rises up to fame the moment he becomes a rich heir! I’ve already contacted him through Line, and I wonder if you’d be intereste
