…Was… Was it really true?
Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever she saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take him seriously.
It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much?
Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him?
How could any of this truly be?
As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others.
The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now.
As he left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see him off.
Before he was able to leave, Elena whispered something into her father’s ear before sticking her tongue out. She wanted to leave together with Gerald and her father naturally agreed.
Xyla herself was feeling extremely anxious as she exited the hotel together with Vincy to see Gerald off.
When they finally caught sight of him again, Gerald had just gotten on his electric tricycle. This time, however, Elena was sitting behind him.
While Vincy had earlier felt embarrassed about Gerald riding an electric tricycle, she found it strange that she no longer felt the same.
After all, even though Elena was such a beautiful young lady, she actually seemed happy sitting behind an electric tricycle. Vincy wouldn’t mind sitting there herself now!
She deduced that these complex emotions had stemmed from the moment she realized who Gerald really was. Vincy was honestly also feeling quite shocked and frightened by the wild turn of events.
It was almost as though she was in a dream.
Xyla, on the other hand, was so anxious that she eventually burst into tears as she continued looking at Gerald.
