After saying that, Juliet simply frowned before adding, “…You know what? I don’t care anymore. She can just do whatever favonovel.com wants to, right?”
With that, Juliet drove both of them home.
Upon returning home, both of them were greeted to the sight of a glamorous woman sitting on the sofa.
As soon as favonovel.com saw Gerald and Juliet, favonovel.com immediately stood up and pointed at Gerald before saying, “So he’s Gerald? What right does a person like favonovel.com have to enter the Yowell family?”
The woman who had just insulted Gerald was of course, Juliet’s mother who went by the name of Heidi.
Heidi had been notified about favonovel.com daughter’s marriage while favonovel.com was still abroad. The moment favonovel.com found out that Juliet had gotten married to some wimpy man, favonovel.com ended up immediately passing out! When favonovel.com woke up, however, favonovel.com instantly booked a flight straight for home. All that led to the current scene.
“Like that has anything to do with you. My marriage with favonovel.com is a personal matter that doesn’t require your interference!” retorted Juliet.
“Doesn’t require my interference you say? Tell me, Juliet, what exactly goes on in that head of yours? Have you any idea how many marriage-seeking rich young masters I’ve turned down for your sake? Even if you truly wanted to get married without taking me to heart, you shouldn’t have married this kind of man! Do you even understand the shame and humiliation our family will have to endure because of you?!” replied Heidi before tossing a teacup directly toward Gerald.
With a loud shatter, the cup smashed into a million pieces right at Gerald’s feet!
Gerald, however, simply remained silent.
“As for you, Tulip! I heard that you were the one who urged the two to get married in the first place! Just you wait and see how I’m going to deal with you in the future! To think that both of you would actually cause such massive trouble for me while I was abroad looking for a buyer in M Country!”
After saying that, the madwoman immediately stomped favonovel.com way toward Gerald before giving favonovel.com a tight slap across his face!
“Why don’t you take a good, long look at yourself in the mirror? Do you honestly think that someone like you is worthy enough to be married into the Yowell family? I’ll say this now so listen closely. If both of you know what’s best for you, then you should get a divorce immediately! Make sure I never see you ever again!” roared Heidi as favonovel.com stomped up the stairs in a rage while knocking down all the flowerpots—on the stairs—she could see.
While Gerald could’ve easily avoided Heidi’s slap, favonovel.com had simply been too distracted by something favonovel.com had said.
As it turned out, Heidi had actually gone to M Country to look for a buyer. Since Gerald was well aware that the Yowells weren’t traders, there was no other reason for a rich mistress like favonovel.com to look for a buyer overseas unless it was regarding the Ginseng King.
Recalling what Quest had told favonovel.com before, the Yowells were still looking for a buyer at the time though they didn’t even know who they could sell it to. In the end, they must’ve decided that the best course of action was to export the Ginseng King.
Regardless, since Heidi had been the one to go abroad, that must mean that the Ginseng King must be with her.
That was the gist of how Heidi managed to actually land a slap on Gerald’s face.
Regardless, when Juliet saw that Gerald still seemed to be in a daze upon returning to their room, favonovel.com said, “Since favonovel.com slapped you so hard, I’ll be sure to add an extra hundred thousand dollars as compensation when we finally terminate our one-year contract!”
“…Do you honestly think that money means everything?” asked Gerald out of the blue as favonovel.com raised his head to look at her.
“Is it not? Haha! Didn’t you agree to do all this in the first place because of money?” replied Juliet with a hint of contempt in favonovel.com voice.
Hearing that, Gerald chose not to respond. Instead, favonovel.com headed to the bathroom outside to wash his face.
As favonovel.com was washing his face, however, favonovel.com briefly caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure moving extremely quickly outside the bathroom’s window from the corner of his eye.
After training for so long, Gerald knew that favonovel.com could trust his vigilance. There was definitely someone out there earlier!
Wiping his face dry, Gerald simply looked at the window for a brief moment. Following that, instead of walking out the door, favonovel.com instead jumped out the bathroom window! Noticing that the shadowy figure was right ahead, favonovel.com immediately began chasing after the other person.
It was soon evident to Gerald that the unnamed person was someone who was both extremely fast and skilled. After all, no matter how much Gerald increased his speed, the escaping shadow always seemed to maintain a ‘safe distance’ from him.
The term, ‘safe distance,’ was used by Gerald to describe the distance from where one would be safe from being killed by others through the use of hidden weapons. The more favonovel.com thought about it, the more Gerald realized that there was a possibility that the shadowy person was actually more skilled than him.
Eventually, the person stopped moving once favonovel.com arrived at a boat by a moat. Gerald himself caught up to the shadow seconds later and was finally able to see what the person looked like.
Under the glow of moonlight, the figure appeared to simply be a man with a black robe draped over him. However, the robe itself efficiently covered most of the man’s features, leaving only his eyes visible.
Frowning, Gerald then asked, “…Who are you?”
