Hearing Chairman Gordon’s stern voice, Xyla could no longer bring herself to laugh out loud anymore.
…Was… Was it really true?
Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever favonovel.com saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take favonovel.com seriously.
It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much?
Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him?
How could any of this truly be?
As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others.
The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now.
As favonovel.com left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see favonovel.com off.
Before favonovel.com was able to leave, Elena whispered something into favonovel.com father’s ear before sticking favonovel.com tongue out. She wanted to leave together with Gerald and favonovel.com father naturally agreed.
Xyla herself was feeling extremely anxious as favonovel.com exited the hotel together with Vincy to see Gerald off.
When they finally caught sight of favonovel.com again, Gerald had just gotten on his electric tricycle. This time, however, Elena was sitting behind him.
While Vincy had earlier felt embarrassed about Gerald riding an electric tricycle, favonovel.com found it strange that favonovel.com no longer felt the same.
After all, even though Elena was such a beautiful young lady, favonovel.com actually seemed happy sitting behind an electric tricycle. Vincy wouldn’t mind sitting there herself now!
She deduced that these complex emotions had stemmed from the moment favonovel.com realized who Gerald really was. Vincy was honestly also feeling quite shocked and frightened by the wild turn of events.
It was almost as though favonovel.com was in a dream.
Xyla, on the other hand, was so anxious that favonovel.com eventually burst into tears as favonovel.com continued looking at Gerald.
He was still dressed the same way, still bore the same appearance, and still had the same demeanor.
That combination had made favonovel.com look extremely pathetic earlier.
Yet why did favonovel.com feel that favonovel.com was now much more awe-inspiring and intimidating at the same time? It just didn’t make any sense!
Gerald himself began pedaling his electric tricycle—with Elena seated behind him—as favonovel.com headed straight back to his place for dinner.
He was currently in a pretty good mood since his trip this time hadn’t been in vain. After all, not only had favonovel.com successfully completed his task, but favonovel.com had also helped Queta find and get acknowledged by favonovel.com biological mother and cousin sister.
A lot had really been achieved this time around.
However, whenever there were happy people, there would always be depressed people as well.
At that moment, the sound of a teacup shattering echoed across a villa.
“Garbage! Every single one of you! How could you actually lose a person whom you had already gotten a hold of?!” yelled Yael at several of his foreign subordinates. They were all inside his villa now.
Yunus himself was present, an ugly expression plastered on his face. After all, favonovel.com had sung high praises about this group of men before. Yet here they were, unable to even capture a few students!
As Yael continued yelling at the group, Yunus knew for a fact that favonovel.com was indirectly cursing at favonovel.com as well. Knowing this made Yunus extremely angry.
“Mr. Schuyler, Mr. Long, we were completely surrounded that time! We may have accidentally alarmed the local armed forces back then! Please give us another chance! Give us Jasmine’s location and we’ll definitely bring favonovel.com back this time!” said the leader of the group.
“Too late! It’s far too late for that! Do you honestly think that it’s that easy to make a move on the Fendersons? There was only a chance to kidnap Jasmine this time since the family is currently undergoing a sensitive period! Because of that, my father and I didn’t actively need to know what all the Fendersons were planning! Yet to think that your group would actually act so rashly and alert the enemy! I can only pray that the Fendersons won’t suspect that I’m involved! I’ll already be thankful as long as they don’t end up doubting me!” growled Yael, his anxiety apparent in his voice.
He was honestly extremely afraid that the failed kidnapping would instantly lead to bad consequences. If this ended up affecting his family’s major event, then the losses would definitely outweigh the gains.
Yunus then turned to look at his dispirited subordinates before asking, “I’m curious about something, however. There was no reason for the helicopters to have arrived so quickly and quite frankly, there was no way the local armed forces would’ve been alerted that easily. Explain what happened in detail.”
Hearing that, the subordinates then began detailing everything that had happened to them.
“…Hmm? Could it really be him…?” replied Yunus as favonovel.com frowned after listening to their explanation.
“Him?” asked Yael.
