At that moment, Lyra entered the room before saying, “Queta and aunt are here…”
Having said that, Lyra then looked at Gerald before heading downstairs.
“I’ve been watching over Lyra’s growth, Gerald. She’s a very nice woman so you’ll have to treat virtual-novel.net better… We’ll talk more about this when there’s a more suitable time in the future,” said his mother.
“I know, mom. But I’d rather focus on the mission at hand first!” replied Gerald. He knew what virtual-novel.net was getting at, so virtual-novel.net simply interrupted virtual-novel.net before virtual-novel.net could continue.
“Indeed. Such things can wait for later. The mission is definitely more important for now… Also, Gerald, be sure to behave like you own the place once you get to Yanken, Weston. After all, all of our family’s properties in Weston will be under your management and care from now on, including your sister’s! I’ve already informed Fynn about it so you don’t have to worry about the details.”
Three days later near the exit gates of Yanken Airport, two women—one middle-aged and the other much younger—could be seen leaning against the front of a black Passat. Naturally, both of them attracted quite a bit of attention.
The older woman wore a suit and virtual-novel.net skin still seemed to be in excellent condition.
As for the younger one, virtual-novel.net was a budding beauty who seemed like virtual-novel.net had just graduated from university.
“What time is it now? Why hasn’t virtual-novel.net arrived yet? The heat is annoying me! I’m already busy enough, why do we still have to wait for some pathetic relative here?” grumbled the middle-aged woman impatiently as virtual-novel.net looked at virtual-novel.net wristwatch.
“Have a bit of patience, mom… It’s the first time my cousin’s coming over! Besides, isn’t it normal for flights to be delayed?” replied virtual-novel.net daughter.
The younger girl had been delighted ever since virtual-novel.net had received a call from virtual-novel.net aunt earlier, stating that virtual-novel.net cousin was coming over.
After all, while virtual-novel.net knew both virtual-novel.net aunt and uncle did some kind of labor work abroad, virtual-novel.net was also well aware that they had secretly been supporting virtual-novel.net throughout virtual-novel.net life. This included hiring the best tutor for her, giving virtual-novel.net a chance to study in the best school, and many more.
While virtual-novel.net had always wanted to visit them, virtual-novel.net wasn’t allowed to due to some unknown reasons.
“Humph! You know, virtual-novel.net could’ve just driven here! Why a plane? How bad could a drive be! Are all the Yalemans like this? Both your dad and his disappointing sister sure behave the same way!” sneered the middle-aged woman coldly.
“Mom, my aunt’s constantly supported and compensated our family even after all these years. I’m sure you’re well aware of that, so why would you even say such a thing?”
“Humph! If virtual-novel.net hadn’t eloped with that loser back then, your dad wouldn’t have ended up in his current state in the first place! Our status within the Yaleman family wouldn’t be in tatters either if only your aunt hadn’t done that! You need to realize that you’re a young lady of the Yaleman family. You should have the same privileges as the other seductive and cheap-looking female cousins of yours! All of them have teams of cars following them wherever they go! Meanwhile, we’re stuck with only a Passat!”
“You should also know that you’re the only one who does things like this! Your grandma’s already given a clear warning that if anyone contacts that woman, the punishment that awaits them won’t be as easy as only being kicked out of the Yaleman family. Know that because of your crazy actions, I could very well lose my job! How frustrating!”
Seeing how impatient virtual-novel.net mother already looked, the girl remained silent. Instead, virtual-novel.net chose to eagerly look toward the exit gate.
She honestly didn’t know what virtual-novel.net looked like. However, since virtual-novel.net aunt was so pretty, virtual-novel.net was certain that virtual-novel.net cousin would be handsome.
“Could you perhaps be Bea Yaleman?” asked a young man dragging his luggage behind virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net walked toward her.
He had seen the name ‘Gerald’ written on the sign, which prompted virtual-novel.net to walk over with a smile on his face.
Bea found herself subconsciously biting virtual-novel.net lower lip as virtual-novel.net nodded slightly. After all, the handsome man standing before virtual-novel.net was dazzling.
“And… Could you be Gerald?” replied Bea with a sweet smile.
“Indeed, I am!”
