Chapter 301 Scumbag Gerald looked arrogant, and no one took his words seriously at all!
Who was Jared? Although he didnât 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, âLook at him. He insulted me and my grandfather!â
The waiter had a headache.
He seemed to be in a dilemma and had offended both Gerald and Milford at the same time. Originally, he wanted to accept Milfordâs double rewards and drive Gerald and the others out.
However, the current situation was beyond his expectations. Gerald was also rich and wasnât afraid of the Thornton family at all.
Seeing that the waiter fell silent, Gerald looked at Milford and asked, âWho is your father? Cale, Vernon, or Edric?â
Milford sneered, âItâs none of your business.â
The waiter said hurriedly, âHis father is Mr. Vernon Thornton.â
Gerald was amused and put on a faint smile. âYour 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.â
Geraldâs words stunned Milford. He stared at Gerald and asked, âHow do you know?â
The Thornton family had hidden Vernonâs and Dylanâs 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 Edricâs power. Since that was the case, who should be the one to replace Edricâs 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 Vernonâs death, Milford was ignored.
As a member of the Thornton family, he did lack money.
Gerald smiled at Milford and said, âHow would I know? Because I saw it with my own eyes. Dylan also died in front of me. You know Dylan, right?â
Although Gerald was smiling, Milfordâs forehead was starting to sweat.
He stared at Gerald.
Gerald continued, âSpeaking 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.â
After that, he reminded Milford, âBy the way, my name is Gerald Kenneth!â
Milford had not heard Geraldâs name before.
He was still a college student. Most of the time, he was not in the Thorntonâs 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 didnât care about the Thornton family at all. His tone was natural, and he didnât 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.
Jaredâs aged voice sounded. âMilford, donât be sad. Although our family is in a mess now, I will keep the family property that belongs to you. Donât worry.â
Jared felt exhausted both mentally and physically while facing the current Thornton family.
Because Vernon was dead, Jared had to take care of Vernonâs son. He thought that it was the reason why Milford called him.
Milford said through gritted teeth, âGrandpa, I met an arrogant man here. He said his name is Gerald Kenneth.â
âWhat? Gerald?â Jaredâs expression changed drastically. âDid you hear it clearly?â
âHe did say that. He is less than thirty years old. He seemed to have been injured and bandaged,â Milford said. âMy girlfriend and I had a little conflict with him.â
âConflict?â Jared had a headache. He said eagerly, âHurry up and apologize to him. Donât tell him that you are from the Thornton family. Leave that place as soon as possible and stay away from him! Understand?â
In an instant, Milford felt his scalp numb!
He could sense Jaredâs fright toward Gerald!
It seemed that Gerald hadnât been joking. Jared may indeed have to be humble in front of Gerald.
Milford swallowed and nodded. âYes, I understand.â
âMilford, donât provoke him no matter what happens,â Jared warned Milford hurriedly.
After hanging up the phone, beads of sweat appeared on Milfordâs 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 Geraldâs face grew brighter. He propped himself up on his hand and crossed his legs, looking sloppy.
âHow is it?â Athena had guessed the result, yet she couldnât help but ask.
âApologize to him. Hurry up!â 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. âMr. Kenneth, Iâm sorry. I was reckless just now.â
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 Athenaâs trick. She frowned and said, âGet lost. Donât dirty my eyes here.â
Athena felt relieved after hearing that. She stood up quickly and ran back to Milford. âLetâs go!â
Milford did not dare to stay any longer. He couldnât 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.
âGo do your own business!â 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, âThat scheming bitch even exposed her chest when she apologized. Nobody cares, okay? Is she so confident?â
âWhat? Did she do so? Iâm a gentleman. I didnât even look at her just now. What a pity!â Gerald said.
Valery turned to look at him with a trace of disdain!
Gerald felt a little guilty. He cleared his throat and said, âI just glanced at her!â
âBah! Scumbag!â Valery cursed. She turned around and walked toward the banquet hall.
