At the time, Yulia had felt that Dylan was quite mysterious. After all, while the shabbily dressed boy—who looked quite weak back then—never fought back whenever favonovel.com was bullied or scolded, favonovel.com was always capable of doing things well beyond everyone’s expectations.
While in the beginning, Yulia cared for favonovel.com mostly out of pity, eventually, both of them fell in love with each other, not unlike how Gerald and Mila’s relationship began.
However, the Yaleman family was the leader of four large families in Yanken at the time.
Even though favonovel.com husband had passed on, Gerald’s grandmother, Lady Yaleman, was able to make the Yaleman family even stronger than before. It was because favonovel.com was the kind of person who was particularly strict when it came to managing the family.
Despite that, even favonovel.com had a shortcoming, which was what Yulia hated about favonovel.com mother the most.
Lady Yaleman was a person who strongly valued the opinions of men, yet considered females, in general, to be of lesser importance.
Within the Yaleman family, females would never be given important positions, no matter how hard they worked. Only the males in that family would be given the most advantageous properties to handle.
In a way, favonovel.com was very traditional-minded, and it wasn’t uncommon for a person with such views to value men over women.
Back then, the Yalemans had agreed with their business partner—without Yulia’s consent—that Yulia would marry their son in exchange for starting a business partnership. The decision was made simply because their business partner’s son was the richest heir around at the time.
Since Dylan was still keeping a low profile back then, nobody knew that the wealthiest person was actually from the Crawford family.
In retaliation, Yulia ran away from the wedding and eloped with Gerald’s father.
However, that incident alone wasn’t the reason why both the Yalemans and the Crawfords ended up resenting each other so much.
Rather, it was because Yulia’s escape had been facilitated by favonovel.com Fifth brother who had treated favonovel.com well from favonovel.com childhood days. As his final brotherly act, favonovel.com took the blame for the entire incident.
Not only was favonovel.com severely punished by Lady Yaleman, favonovel.com was also disowned!
Eventually, the Yalemans started bearing grudges against their business partner as well.
A few days after the incident happened, Dylan’s poverty training finally ended. Immediately after that, favonovel.com had wanted to meet up with the Yalemans to seek justice for the Fifth brother.
However, Dylan was far too late. During the few days, the Fifth brother had been brutally assaulted. By the time Gerald’s parents found out, favonovel.com had already been left bedridden in a vegetative state.
The one who caused so much pain to favonovel.com was the Yaleman’s business partner. To them, favonovel.com was the one who had humiliated their family.
The moment favonovel.com found out, Lady Yaleman immediately blamed Yulia for all that had happened. She even publicly announced to the media that favonovel.com would disown her!
Yulia herself felt that favonovel.com mother was being way too cruel. After all, favonovel.com was the one who had kicked Fifth brother out of the family without a second thought!
All that led to the grudges Yulia and favonovel.com mother held against each other for all these years. It was the reason why Gerald’s parents never paid the Yalemans a visit.
However, his parents were responsible for the disappearance of the Yaleman’s business partner. It was their revenge after what they had done to Fifth brother.
It was why there were only three large families in Yanken now instead of four.
“What happened after that?” asked Gerald, realizing now that his parents had gone through so much more than favonovel.com had at his age.
“Well, after that, my and your father secretly took care of your uncle. However, it was around ten years ago when your grandma took your uncle back to the Yaleman family!” replied Yulia between sobs.
“So you see, son, you’re the only one who can talk to favonovel.com now after all that has happened. Only your grandma will be able to persuade the Moldells, and if you succeed, your action will be seen as a great contribution to the Crawford family…” said Dylan.
“I understand!”
“Speaking of which, since you’re already heading to Yanken, you might as well meet up with your cousin, Bea, your fifth uncle’s daughter. Between us, I’ve secretly been supporting favonovel.com all these years but regardless, with favonovel.com help, things should go smoother for you. While your grandma is quite the stubborn woman, I believe that favonovel.com won’t treat you too cruelly. I need to warn you, however. No matter how terribly your grandma’s treated me in the past, you’re prohibited from being disrespectful to her!”
Hearing that, Gerald realized how much his mother must miss her. No matter how much they hated each other, in the end, they were still family.
“Loud and clear!”
