Chapter 301 Scumbag
Gerald looked arrogant, and no one took his words seriously at all!
Who was Jared? Although he didn’t often show up in public now, he was still one of the big shots in
Washington.
Gerald meant that even Jared had to be humble in front of him. He looked less than thirty years old, yet
he was so presumptuous. People would only think that he was bragging.
Milford stared at Gerald and calmed down a lot. He put away the baseball bat in his hand and said
lightly, “Look at him. He insulted me and my grandfather!”
The waiter had a headache. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
He seemed to be in a dilemma and had offended both Gerald and Milford at the same time. Originally,
he wanted to accept Milford’s double rewards and drive Gerald and the others out.
However, the current situation was beyond his expectations. Gerald was also rich and wasn’t afraid
of the Thornton family at all.
Seeing that the waiter fell silent, Gerald looked at Milford and asked, “Who is your father? Cale,
Vernon, or Edric?”
Milford sneered, “It’s none of your business.”
The waiter said hurriedly, “His father is Mr. Vernon Thornton.”
Gerald was amused and put on a faint smile. “Your father just died, but you went out to pick up girls. If I
were Vernon and had a son like you, I would have charged out of the coffin and taught you a
lesson.”
Gerald’s words stunned Milford. He stared at Gerald and asked, “How do you know?”
The Thornton family had hidden Vernon’s and Dylan’s death from the outside world.
In fact, the Thornton family was in a mess right now!
Edric had kicked Vernon out, which caused Vernon to be killed by Gerald. Then, Dylan claimed that he
would take back Edric’s power. Since that was the case, who should be the one to replace Edric’s
position? Among the younger generation, Cale was the only candidate.
Cale was the third son of the Thornton family.
Dylan was dead, and the Night Watch did not deal with Jared and the others. Thus, Edric was naturally
unwilling to give up on his power, even though Jared was supporting Cale!
Edric was still powerful in the Thornton family. Since he had no intention of resigning, Cale was fighting
for power with him and even intended to separate the Thornton family.
Because of Vernon’s death, Milford was ignored.
As a member of the Thornton family, he did lack money.
Gerald smiled at Milford and said, “How would I know? Because I saw it with my own eyes. Dylan also
died in front of me. You know Dylan, right?”
Although Gerald was smiling, Milford’s forehead was starting to sweat.
He stared at Gerald.
Gerald continued, “Speaking of which, there are still some contradictions between me and the Thornton
family. Since I have returned to Washington this time, I am going to solve them. You can
call Jared and ask him who I am.”
After that, he reminded Milford, “By the way, my name is Gerald Kenneth!”
Milford had not heard Gerald’s name before.
He was still a college student. Most of the time, he was not in the Thornton’s house because he did
not like the atmosphere there.
With a conflicted expression on her face, Athena sensed that something was wrong.
Gerald looked so calm and confident. He didn’t care about the Thornton family at all. His tone was
natural, and he didn’t pretend to be composed.
Athena knew that she had met a powerful enemy this time. For a moment, she began to struggle.
Milford took out his phone, walked aside, and dialed a number. Soon, the phone was connected.
Jared’s aged voice sounded. “Milford, don’t be sad. Although our family is in a mess now, I will keep the
family property that belongs to you. Don’t worry.”
Jared felt exhausted both mentally and physically while facing the current Thornton family.
Because Vernon was dead, Jared had to take care of Vernon’s son. He thought that it was the reason
why Milford called him.
Milford said through gritted teeth, “Grandpa, I met an arrogant man here. He said his name is
Gerald Kenneth.”
“What? Gerald?” Jared’s expression changed drastically. “Did you hear it clearly?”
“He did say that. He is less than thirty years old. He seemed to have been injured and bandaged,”
Milford said. “My girlfriend and I had a little conflict with him.”
“Conflict?” Jared had a headache. He said eagerly, “Hurry up and apologize to him. Don’t tell him that
you are from the Thornton family. Leave that place as soon as possible and stay away from
him! Understand?”
In an instant, Milford felt his scalp numb!
He could sense Jared’s fright toward Gerald!
It seemed that Gerald hadn’t been joking. Jared may indeed have to be humble in front of Gerald.
Milford swallowed and nodded. “Yes, I understand.”
“Milford, don’t provoke him no matter what happens,” Jared warned Milford hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, beads of sweat appeared on Milford’s forehead, and he walked shakily to
Athena. Athena saw the change in him and began to be anxious.
Gerald and Valery were still sitting there.
Valery looked indifferent as usual, while the smile on Gerald’s face grew brighter. He propped himself
up on his hand and crossed his legs, looking sloppy.
“How is it?” Athena had guessed the result, yet she couldn’t help but ask.
“Apologize to him. Hurry up!” Milford glanced at Athena.
He felt a little helpless. He had never thought that a person who treated a group of farmers would have
such a high status. He guessed that Gerald was just a nouveau riche.
It was easy for him to deal with a nouveau riche.
Athena was stunned. However, she was clear about the current situation. Without hesitation, she
walked to Gerald and bowed to him. “Mr. Kenneth, I’m sorry. I was reckless just now.”
Athena was indeed a little scheming.
When she apologized, she did not cover her collar, and her bow was quite skillful. Gerald was able to
see her plump bosom at a glance!
What a model figure! Gerald said inwardly in surprise.
Valery also noticed Athena’s trick. She frowned and said, “Get lost. Don’t dirty my eyes here.”
Athena felt relieved after hearing that. She stood up quickly and ran back to Milford. “Let’s go!”
Milford did not dare to stay any longer. He couldn’t provoke a person who even scared Jared.
He got into the car and drove away. The waiter stood in place with fear in his heart.
He witnessed everything and was also scared of Gerald.
“Go do your own business!” Gerald waved his hand.
Although the waiter looked down on ordinary people and only flattered the rich ones, Gerald did not
make things difficult for him.
Earning money was not shameful!
After the waiter left, Valery snorted, “That scheming bitch even exposed her chest when she
apologized. Nobody cares, okay? Is she so confident?”
“What? Did she do so? I’m a gentleman. I didn’t even look at her just now. What a pity!” Gerald said.
Valery turned to look at him with a trace of disdain!
Gerald felt a little guilty. He cleared his throat and said, “I just glanced at her!”
“Bah! Scumbag!” Valery cursed. She turned around and walked toward the banquet hall.
