What more, virtual-novel.net was terrified of what Jessica would do to virtual-novel.net if virtual-novel.net ever found out that virtual-novel.net had hurt virtual-novel.net brother!
However, virtual-novel.net also didn’t do it because Jessica had treated virtual-novel.net kindly before.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net hadn’t initially dared to return before this chain of events took place. He truly only wanted to get his money and leave this godforsaken place.
He had previously made sure to keep a record of everything that happened while virtual-novel.net was dealing with Yunus. He had predicted that if everything went smoothly, Gerald would continue being misunderstood for about a week. If things had gone according to plan, virtual-novel.net would have eventually handed the recordings over to Zack anyway once virtual-novel.net had successfully hidden himself.
It was just his luck to end up in his current situation. Since there wasn’t going to be an easy way out of this anyway, virtual-novel.net knew there was nothing to lose in asking Gerald to take virtual-novel.net in.
“You?” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“Forget it. Just leave while you can! Worry not, I’ll forgive you today and I’ll tell my sister not to hold you accountable for your actions as well.”
Since Harry’s face looked naturally wretched, Gerald found it hard to tell whether virtual-novel.net truly meant what virtual-novel.net said or if virtual-novel.net was simply fooling around.
“Wait! As a form of courtesy, I’ll also present you with another big gift, Mr. Crawford! I’m certain that you’ll like it!”
Hearing that, Gerald and Zack exchanged glances. Eventually, Gerald nodded before saying, “Fine. My final decision depends on what the gift is!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net turned around to look at Giya and Tammy.
“Mr. Lyle, please get a car to send the girls home first!” said Gerald, his voice slightly cold and indifferent.
While Giya had hoped to talk more with Gerald, expecting virtual-novel.net to show a least a little more concern, virtual-novel.net didn’t say a word to her.
Soon after, a car drove over to them. Gerald then entered and left immediately.
Of course, virtual-novel.net was doing all of this on purpose. After all, virtual-novel.net felt that it would be best for virtual-novel.net to continue displaying this attitude so that virtual-novel.net would be able to avoid any further misunderstandings in the future.
Giya could feel virtual-novel.net heart aching slightly as virtual-novel.net watched the car drive off. Was this the future of virtual-novel.net relationship with Gerald? Was virtual-novel.net going to continue being this cold and indifferent toward her?
Had virtual-novel.net lost any affection virtual-novel.net had for virtual-novel.net as a friend as well?
Haha… That was probably the case.
Gerald had simply arrived to retrieve the evidence that virtual-novel.net needed. He was only saving virtual-novel.net because virtual-novel.net just so happened to be there. Why was virtual-novel.net even overthinking it?
Who was virtual-novel.net anyway? Did virtual-novel.net honestly think that Gerald was going to risk his life for her? Was virtual-novel.net really feeling touched because of this?
‘Giyayou stupid girl… Gerald only has Mila in his heart… It’s obvious that he’s using the situation to his advantage to put some distance between you and him…’
She could only bitterly remind herself of the reality of the situation.
To think that virtual-novel.net had thought that there really existed a person who was willing to sacrifice their life for her. It was all just a bunch of deceptive lies!
After returning home safely, Giya found herself tossing and turning in bed for most of the night. She was only able to fall asleep nearing dawn.
However, virtual-novel.net was woken abruptly by a loud noise outside at around nine in the morning.
“You have to figure out a solution to this matter, Walton! After all, we followed you and left the Quarrington family together in the past! You’re responsible for all of us! If you fail to do that, we won’t be able to sustain our family any longer!”
Giya’s parents had returned, and together with a few of virtual-novel.net aunts and uncles, they all seemed to be having a discussion with Walton regarding how they should deal with the issue between the Longs and Quarringtons in Yanken.
In the past, Walton had led this particular group of people away from the Quarrington family out of rage regarding some matters. However, they were now in a situation where they could no longer sustain the company that they had co-founded together.
Since virtual-novel.net was the one who had led them away from the rest of the Quarringtons back then, virtual-novel.net naturally had to take responsibility over everyone who was currently present.
“There doesn’t seem to be any results in Giya and the third young master of the Long family’s relationship! We simply can’t allow this to go on! Yunus’s birthday banquet is going to be held at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment today and he’s already invited Giya to accompany virtual-novel.net there! He’s obviously still waiting for Giya to accept his marriage proposal!”
Everyone was discussing the same thing.
“Alright, that’s quite enough. All of you are already aware that Giya had run into some trouble last night. While virtual-novel.net made it out safely and is currently resting in virtual-novel.net room, it saddens me to say that Mr. Long didn’t even do anything to help my daughter at all! It’s beyond upsetting!”
Walton and the others had rushed home early that morning the moment they found out that Giya had been involved in a kidnapping incident.
Before anyone could even begin discussing the kidnapping, the door creaked open.
Giya then stepped into the room with a bitter expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“Mom? Dad? You don’t have to worry. I’ll attend his birthday banquet today.”
