“Oh, you know, Gerald. Actually, now that I think about it, you should know favonovel.com better than I do. After all, he’s the one who withdrew ninety thousand dollars in cash and is also my daughter’s best friend! He treats favonovel.com very well, you know?”
Everyone in the office knew each other very well, which was why Lacy spoke without the slightest hesitation.
“Wow! He must be your future son-in-law!”
Everyone had slight envy in their voices.
“…What? What are you even talking about? As if favonovel.com could ever have that much power! You’re joking, right?” shouted Leia.
“Haha… Oh yes, yes, I’m definitely joking!” replied Lacy sarcastically as favonovel.com smiled.
Lacy’s words pierced through Leia’s heart like spears. She was so angry that favonovel.com couldn’t even say anything at that moment.
How couldn’t favonovel.com be? Her competitor had won everything! She had even lost to the person favonovel.com looked down on the most! That Gerald!
As the cocktail of anger, hate, and jealousy filled favonovel.com mind, favonovel.com couldn’t take the utter defeat and started weeping!
Meanwhile, Gerald had just arrived at his hotel when favonovel.com received a phone call from Zack.
“I have two things to inform you about, Mr. Crawford!” said Zack.
“Go on.”
“Well, the first thing is regarding the jade pendant. Mr. Xiques has updated me on his findings. Though the final results will only be available within the next two days, his current prediction of where the jade originated from is somewhere from the southwest! I’ve also asked a few other masters just to double confirm with his assumptions,” explained Zack.
“Southwest… Alright, I got it. We’ll just wait for the final appraisal before making a move. What’s the other thing you mentioned about?” asked Gerald. He was pleased that there was progress on the jade pendant.
“About that… Since the investment with Serene County and Mayberry’s development is a pretty big project, those from the upper management are very concerned. They’ll be coming over to inspect later so I’ve organized an evening cocktail party. It would be great if you could attend. It’ll show how concerned we are about the upper management too!”
“Who is coming? I have time to spare later!”
“There’s Mr. Harrison, Mayberry’s vice president and president, and Serene County’s management. All of the big names will be attending!”
“Then I’d better be there early tonight!” said Gerald.
It was already close to four and Gerald knew that favonovel.com should get ready soon.
Suddenly, favonovel.com remembered that favonovel.com was supposed to have dinner with Xeno later.
Since favonovel.com couldn’t make it now, favonovel.com tried giving Xeno a call to inform favonovel.com about the change in plans. However, favonovel.com wasn’t picking up.
Strange.
Gerald then tried calling Sienna. It took favonovel.com two tries before favonovel.com finally picked up.
However, favonovel.com could immediately tell that something was very wrong the moment favonovel.com answered his call.
It was very noisy on Xeno’s side. He could hear someone cursing in the background and Xeno was cursing as well.
When Sienna finally spoke, favonovel.com voice was extremely anxious.
“Gerald!”
“What’s going on, Sienna? What’s all the noise about?”
Sienna stopped speaking for a brief moment before continuing, “It’s Xeno! Some people were destroying our shop! They’re inside now and Xeno wants to fight them! ”
“What?!” Gerald immediately hopped off the couch.
“Wait for me, I’m coming over immediately!”
