Gerald was now frustrated beyond words. The initial plan to make use of the Fenderson birthday banquet to rescue Queta was now at stake.
To think that favonovel.com would meet both Alice and Xavia back to back! There were simply too many unexpected issues popping up at the same time.
If either of the girls recognized him, then the situation would definitely take a turn for the worst.
What more, Gerald had just broken a wine glass and many people were already looking in his direction! D*mn it all! Gerald was so frightened that favonovel.com immediately lowered his head and began picking the broken glass shards off the ground.
“…Eh?”
While Gerald managed to quickly clean up the mess and make his hasty escape, favonovel.com seemed to have also attracted another girl’s attention.
The girl in question was standing right next to Jasmine. It was Mindy!
‘…Why did that young man look so similar to Gerald? This doesn’t make any sense at all! Why would that silly boy even be here at the Fenderson birthday banquet?’ Mindy thought to herself.
Curiosity piqued, Mindy then began following favonovel.com sneakily.
“That was a really risky situation!” said Gerald as favonovel.com heaved a huge sigh of relief the moment favonovel.com arrived at the backyard.
“Gerald!” called out a female voice at that moment.
Turning to look at who had mentioned his name, Gerald’s eyes opened wide in bewilderment when favonovel.com saw who it was.
‘F*ck! It’s Mindy!’
“Oh my god! And here I was, thinking I was seeing things earlier! I really didn’t expect to see you here! You… Why did you come all the way here to the Fenderson family mansion? Actually hold on, how did you even get in?” asked Mindy in surprise.
While favonovel.com grandfather had held similar banquets here in the past and Mindy wasn’t exactly known to be the most attentive girl, favonovel.com did know that the Fenderson family had always been extremely secretive.
Gerald was nothing more than an ordinary rich heir. How could favonovel.com possibly have the right to attend favonovel.com grandfather’s birthday banquet?
“O-oh! I’m here to attend Lord Fenderson’s birthday banquet on behalf of my family. I was just looking for the washroom! In fact, I was just about to send a message to both of you!” lied Gerald casually.
“Oh? Is your family subservient to the Fenderson family as well? But I don’t remember our family having any sort of influence in Mayberry City nor Serene County!”
Hearing that, Gerald became increasingly nervous. After suddenly recalling that Xavia was also here, favonovel.com quickly explained, “I’m not exactly subservient to the Fendersons. It was the Schuylers who had invited me to the banquet today!”
“…I see! Well that makes much more sense!” replied Mindy.
However, favonovel.com expression soon changed as favonovel.com came to a sudden realization. Before Gerald could ask what was wrong, favonovel.com hit favonovel.com angrily on the back of his head!
“What was that for!”
“Humph! You should know that the Schuyler family hasn’t been on good terms with ours! I really hadn’t expected your family to be subservient to theirs. You know, the Schuyler family is getting more and more atrocious by the year!” said Mindy rather indignantly.
“Even if you say that, it’s not like I have any say in my family’s matters! I’m not really involved in any of their decisions!” replied Gerald.
“…Hey, look over there! Isn’t that the kid who scalded you last night, Loraine?”
Looking at the direction where the voice had come from, several gorgeous women—who seemed to be the celebrities from the previous night—could be seen walking toward the venue.
As the women in the group looked at the direction their celebrity friend was pointing at, one of them immediately started rushing toward Gerald in an imposing manner!
She seemed to be the leader of their group, and Gerald instantly recognized favonovel.com as the celebrity from last night who had knocked over favonovel.com own supper!
“So here you are! Do you have any idea how hard it was to find you? Listen here, I can’t wear a dress today because of you! Do you have any idea how many points will get taken away during my performance later because of that?!” growled the celebrity as favonovel.com began smacking the back of his head resentfully.
“Hold it! Who do you think you are? What right do you have to treat favonovel.com that way?”
Since favonovel.com had a much higher status than Gerald, it was fine for Mindy to hit him. However, this was just a regular celebrity. How dare favonovel.com treat favonovel.com that way!
Mindy had only reprimanded favonovel.com since favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com would lose face if favonovel.com continued allowing the celebrity to do as favonovel.com pleased in front of her.
