Lilian was momentarily stunned out of her daze when she saw that they were telling the truth.
All of them were Maybach cars and every single one of them was worth as much as a single housing unit on the street they were currently in.
Imagine getting married to a person from such a rich and powerful family… How envious the others would feel.
Lilian sighed internally. ‘That god dmn Sharon… I’m much more beautiful than she is yet Hayward still chose her! That btch!’
‘The only thing Sharon is good at is pretending!’
Lilian was here because she had rented a house alongside her two other female colleagues there.
Looking at all the Maybach cars refueled Lilian’s jealousy toward Sharon and she fumed.
Soon after, the cars all left and everything returned to normal.
As for Yacob, naturally, he was taken away by the police.
The very next day, Gerald immediately headed to the hospital after he woke up to visit Giya.
“Thank you for saving me, Gerald!” were the first words she said the moment she saw him entering her ward.
After she had regained consciousness, her parents had told her what had happened the day before.
“It was my fault for not taking care of you in the first place. I’m just glad you’re safe!” said Gerald, a tired smile on his face.
“I’ve been wondering… Did you save my mother too? I’m asking since Yacob had made some confessions to the police officers. He said that him saving my mother was a lie! If he hadn’t mentioned the incident, I wouldn’t have entered the car with him the other day!” said Giya as she looked at Gerald.
She had been terribly shocked when she heard from her father that Gerald was actually Mr. Crawford.
“Well, yes I saved her,” replied Gerald as he nodded. He didn’t need to keep it a secret anymore.
“You idiot! Why didn’t you tell me about that earlier? You know, there was a time when I thought of becoming Yacob’s girlfriend! If I ever got into such a situation I’d have blamed you for burdening me like that!” said Giya as she pinched his arm lightly.
“Hey Gerald… Are you afraid that I’ll cling onto you and continue to pester you for the rest of your life?” asked Giya, her eyes serious.
