Chapter 730
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

“It’s a long story. I won’t be able to explain it to you clearly in just a few sentences!” Gerald smiled and said. At that moment, a few servants entered the room in a respectful manner before serving Isabelle and Maia some tea. “Gerald, I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with Mr. Zartyr. But you know very well that we’re facing a dire threat at the moment. If you’re able to help, I sincerely hope that you do so as soon as you can!” Maia said. Isabelle nodded vigorously. “Gerald, I’ll apologize to you. After this, I don’t care how you will treat me. I just want you to give us a hand!” “Alright, I’ll mention it to Mr. Zartyr. But after this thing blows over, I hope that I have something to gain out of this!” Gerald looked at them and said with a smile. If they had come earlier, Gerald would have helped them, no questions asked, despite how cold and aloof Maia treated him. But the situation was different now. His heart had gone numb at this point.Now, G

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

“That old man said that there was another group of people who met him before we came. They too, inquired about the incident and asked for the maid’s whereabouts,” said Barry.Gerald was baffled. ‘Who could it be?’ He thought that this was a simple task given to him by his father to look for a person. Looks like things are more complicated than he initially thought. But Gerald did not dwell on it much since it was useless. What he needed to do now was to locate where that maid was, ASAP. In that instant, Gerald made some preparations and prepared to go to Howard County. At the same time, he called up The Drake & Tyson Duo, ordering them to bring some people along and be there as soon as possible. And it was also the same moment that he received a message in the group chat of his class. It was a message sent by the counselor. Gerald took a look at it...It was around this time.In a luxury car. “Miss, we still haven’t found where the ex-young lady is. But we did find a

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

“Leon! Oh, I just bumped into a classmate of mine.” Xyla waved her hands at Leon affectionately. Clearly, he was her boyfriend. At that moment, Vincy said, “Xyla, didn’t you say that you have an additional admission ticket just now? Hey maybe we can give it to Gerald. We haven’t met each other for so many years, I guess we can totally sit together and talk about our golden days!” “This…” Xyla averted her eyes. “Fine, then we’ll let Gerald tag along. We can bring him along so that he can get a taste of the good life!” “Gerald, we’ll give you a ticket. Come with us!” Xyla said. “Yes, let’s go. You don’t have anything going on, do you?” Vincy tugged at Gerald’s arm and said. “Fine!” Gerald nodded slightly and agreed to go. If Xyla was the only one who invited him, he would’ve turned them down instantly. But he had a rather good relationship with Vincy. Besides, Gerald was waiting for updates from his subordinates. He might as well have fun in the process of waiting.
Chapter 736
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
Chapter 737
“Like hell, I’m going!” Gerald shook his head. “Hmph, it’s fine if you don’t go. Why are you putting up a show?” A female secretary said in dissatisfaction. After that, they went to the desk where Leon was sitting to give him a toast. Seeing that everyone came to give a toast to her boyfriend, Xyla peeked at Gerald coldly, who was sitting there all alone. She badly wanted to enjoy the look of humiliation and uneasiness on Gerald’s face. ‘How dare you reject me that year! Look at the difference between you and me! ‘No, look at the disparity between you and my boyfriend!’‘Do you really think that I invited you out of goodwill? ‘You’re wrong!’ Xyla wanted to humiliate Gerald deliberately. She thought that the humiliation he suffered would be greater if the environment they were in was grander.She usually did not have the chance to experience that kind of pleasure from revenge.On the other hand, Vincy saw Gerald sitting there alone. It became clear to her that Xyl
