In her disbelief, she opened the main door in her attempt to confirm whether she had really seen him. However, she could only catch a glimpse of ‘Gerald’s’ back as he stepped into a car before her father closed the door behind him.
“Gerald!” shouted Haven as the cars swiftly drove off, unable to hear her cries.
Scratching the back of her head, she wondered if it really had just been her imagination. After all, why would he be in her house? What more, her father certainly wouldn’t personally open a car door for someone like him!
“Is something wrong, Haven?” asked Xareni as she and Quentin walked over to her.
“You’ll never guess who I saw, sis!”
“Who?”
“I saw Gerald!”
“And who is this, Gerald person?” asked Xareni with a slight frown.
“Have you already forgotten? He’s the guy we met inside the train!”
“That disgusting guy? You’re still talking to him? Why’s he even here?” scorned Quintin.
“You probably saw wrong, Haven… After all, if even Quintin isn’t aware of this, then Gerald couldn’t have possibly entered our home all willy-nilly!” added Xareni as she shook her head.
Despite Xareni constantly advising Haven to be more aware of her identity, the girl simply never listened. Rather than getting along more with other rich heirs like the Warners and Scotts, Haven simply preferred talking to ordinary people.
“I’ll make sure you’ll pay dearly for killing the two children of our family within the past month, Damian! You know very well why your family deserved to be banished! Don’t you remember all the dirty deeds all of you have done?” shouted Zander.
“Shut up! I don’t care about what you did and I don’t care who you brought along to fight me either! All I know is that everyone here except for you, Zander, will die by my hands today! Don’t worry, you’ll eventually get to die too once I make you witness the death of all the other Lovewell children!”
“You ignorant prick! Let’s see how you’ll even kill all of us!” roared Theo as he immediately charged at the arrogant man.
While Theo was both strong and fierce, he was nowhere near Damian’s level of skill.
Eventually, Damian got bored of blocking Theo’s attacks and launched a sudden punch at him! Caught off guard, Theo knew he was too late to block or avoid the incoming attack.
Before the hit could land, however, Theo heard someone shout, “Allow me to assist!”
