Her face lightened with joy as she squealed, “What, sister? You have already arrived at the airport? Didn’t you say that you will not be able to make it back for grandma’s birthday? Ahh? Okay! Okay! Okay! I will come and pick you right now!”
Hanging up right away, Rita said, “Grandma, my sister will be arriving in a bit. She came back all the way from M country and she is already waiting at the airport now!”
“Oh that child, Cara…alright. I knew that she would definitely be back…” The old lady smiled as she immediately said: “Then Mason…Mason you can go and pick Cara up! You may go alone. I want Queenie to stay and accompany me.”
“Okay, grandma!”
Mason smiled as he waved, clutching the BMW sports car key in his hand before quickly excusing himself.
Mila’s face was clouded with disappointment.
Cara was Rita’s sister.
Ever since childhood, Mila had always had the best relationship with these two sisters.
Her grandmother knew it too.
It only made sense that her grandmother would have told her to pick Cara up too, however she clearly told Mason to go alone.
This reflected how unhappy her grandmother was with her.
After Mason’s departure.
Everyone’s topic of conversation and focus fell on Gerald again.
Yes. No one would have thought that Gerald would be such a jerk.
Since he was also making an appearance as Mila’s boyfriend, the focus of this topic was obviously of high importance.
Gerald remained silent as he continued listening to the accusations.
He was of course enraged to hear all the slander and ridicule of others.
But he also knew he needed to take care of Mila’s reputation.
The best he could do was to only endure it.
At the same time.
“Mason, you can leave first. Kyle said that he will help you to deal with this matter! What? Okay, okay!”
Upon hanging up, Queenie looked at Mason’s father worriedly and said, “Mason said that he is too afraid to leave the car. He is also asking you to go over there and take a look, uncle. It seems as though Mason is in big trouble!”
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Everyone whispered amongst themselves.
All of them headed out to the parking lot in curiosity.
The old lady also went along.
Mason was usually a very calm and composed person. He would not be acting this way if it was any ordinary matter.
“Gerald, let’s head out and take a look too.”
Mila suddenly said.
Gerald nodded with a smile.
