However, due to his old age and muddle-headedness, it would be quite a bit of trouble if Gerald was to follow virtual-novel.net around. Gerald wasn’t trying to be rude, but virtual-novel.net just couldn’t bear the thought of letting virtual-novel.net suffer!
Early the next morning, Gerald received a call from Tammy. She had of course, called to discuss the fake marriage.
To keep the marriage a secret from the public, Gerald had told neither Zack nor Michael about it.
Gerald understood the reasoning behind Giya’s request. The main purpose of the fake marriage was to let the Longs and Owens know that they were engaged.
“I’ll be picking you up, Gerald! Wait downstairs!” said Tammy.
“Alright, alright, I’ll be down in a minute!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled bitterly.
The entire plan was quite simple. They were just going to have a banquet in a hotel so that Giya’s family could finally settle down.
By the time virtual-novel.net got downstairs, Tammy was already there waiting for him. They were ready to depart.
As they were about to leave, Gerald noticed someone standing in front of a car that had been parked at the hotel’s entrance.
It was Natasha Yorke.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw him, Natasha jogged over to Gerald.
“Gerald! I came over to look for you but your bodyguards wouldn’t allow me to enter! Humph!” said Natasha.
Gerald’s bodyguards were well aware that Natasha was Xavia’s sister. Regardless of whatever reason virtual-novel.net gave them, they persistently denied virtual-novel.net from entering.
They didn’t even bother informing Gerald about virtual-novel.net arrival.
“What is it?”
“Quick! You have to save my sister! She’s going to take some cyanide in an attempt to commit suicide! We fought last night yet I still failed to persuade her! You’re the only person who can stop her!” said Natasha, virtual-novel.net voice anxious.
“Then let virtual-novel.net do it. Do you really think I can stop her?” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled bitterly.
“How could you be so heartless…? Do you have any idea why my sister’s taking things this far? She wants you to take virtual-novel.net seriously! What more, didn’t you see how Yunus beat virtual-novel.net up at the banquet yesterday?”
“Yunus wanted my sister to lure you out so that virtual-novel.net could do bad things to you! But my sister refused to do it! Look at you now! You’re all fine and dandy while my sister’s in deep trouble! Are you still going to turn your back against virtual-novel.net now?”
“As I said, virtual-novel.net has nothing to do with me. If you’re willing, pass this message from me to her. If virtual-novel.net wants trouble, that’s fine by me. However, never stir up trouble in my villa ever again!” sneered Gerald as virtual-novel.net walked away.
“You… You b*tard! You’re a monster, Gerald! You’re on your way to marry someone when my sister’s about to commit suicide!” screamed Natasha at him.
“Huh? Who told you that I’m getting betrothed?”
“Stop pretending! The Long family already knows all about it! I can’t believe that you’re lying straight to my face!” bellowed Natasha.
“I don’t care if you know, honestly, now stop wasting my time!”
Xavia had indeed been humiliated yesterday after being beaten up by Yunus in front of the crowd. In the past, Gerald might still have felt pitiful and sorry for her.
But not anymore.
He then left the hotel with Tammy as Natasha stomped virtual-novel.net foot in anger before finally leaving.
A little while later at Mountain Top Villa, a housemaid informed “Madam, your sister has arrived!”
“Huh? Did Gerald come with her?” asked Xavia.
“Only your sister, madam! Gerald isn’t present.”
“Im… Impossible!” screamed Xavia angrily as virtual-novel.net pushed the maid aside and walked to the door to see for herself. True to the maid’s word, only Natasha could be seen ascending the stairs. There was no sign of Gerald at all!
“That… That son of a b*tch! When did virtual-novel.net become this heartless…?” said Xavia, virtual-novel.net face filled with dismay.
