The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 1996

With his sentence cut short by Yalinda’s prideful and taunting tone, there was no way Gerald was going to say no now. If she wanted a fight, she was getting one, and he was going to make sure she never challenged him again!

“Fine, I accept! However, I have one condition!” replied Gerald.

“State it!”

“If I win again, you’ll have to start addressing me as brother Gerald. Needless to say, I hope you’ll start treating me less coldly by that point! Seriously… Do you have to keep glaring at me like I owe you all the money in the world?” declared Gerald.

Understanding how much of a sore loser Yalinda was, Gerald knew that he had to set clear rules or Yalinda would simply challenge him again in the future.

Whatever the case was, Yalinda immediately replied, “Deal!”

“Glad to hear it! Also, I’m sure you heard all that clearly, right, Captain Juan?” said Gerald as he turned to look at Tanner. With her father bearing witness to all this, Gerald was pretty sure Yalinda wouldn’t have the guts to be a sore loser once she lost.

Tanner seemed to catch Gerald’s drift as well, and he simply nodded…

Once dinner was over—and after a short rest—the group of four then headed to the garden together…

Momentarily staring at Gerald as he stood opposite of her, Yalinda took in a deep breath before growling, “Ready?”

“As ready as you are!” replied Gerald in a casual tone.

“There’s nothing else to say, Yalinda! You lost, so it’s only fair that you accept it!” declared Tanner—who had been watching everything from the side—, not even giving his daughter a chance to refute.

Tanner, for one, could tell that his daughter was never going to be a match for Gerald. Aside from that, he was also well aware that Gerald had gone easy on her.

Whatever the case was, after hearing Tanner’s words, Gerald then released Yalinda before adding with a subtle smile, “Your father’s right, Miss Juans! Best not be a sore loser again!”

“H-humph! Who’s being a sore loser? I admit that I lost!” scoffed Yalinda before running off, clearly having a temper.

‘…Is this girl serious…? Ahh… To hell with all this!’ Gerald thought to himself in resignation. What the hell happened to that deal where she wouldn’t remain angry at him if she lost? As if that wasn’t enough, she was even victimizing herself despite being the bully!
