At that moment, Yulia felt that Dylan was quite mysterious. After all, while the boy dressed shabby— who looked so weak back then— never fought back whenever he was bullied or scolded, he said, he has always been able to do things well beyond everyone's expectations.
At first Yulia loved him very much out of pity, eventually the two fell in love with each other, unlike the beginning of the relationship Gerald and Mila.
However, the Yaleman family was the leader of the four large families in the Yanken at the time.
Although her husband is dead, Gerald's grandmother, Lady Yaleman, is able to make the Yaleman family stronger than ever. It was because he was the type of person who was very strict in organizing a family.
Even so, she also had flaws, which Yulia hated the most from her mother.
Lady Yaleman is a man who highly values the opinions of men, but considers women, in general, less important.
In the Yaleman family, women will never be given important positions, no matter how hard they work. Only men in that family will be given the most profitable property to deal with.
On the one hand, she was very traditional minded, and it was not unusual for someone with such a view to value men over women.
Back then, the Yaleman people had agreed with their business partner— without Yulia—'s consent that Yulia would marry their son in return for starting a business partnership. The decision was made simply because the son of their business partner was the richest heir at the time.
Since Dylan was still not self-effacing back then, no one knew that the richest man actually came from the Crawford family.
In retaliation, Julie runs away from marriage and elopes with Gerald's father.
However, the incident alone was not the reason why both Yaleman and Crawford ended up hating each other.
Rather, it was because Yulia's escape had been facilitated by her Fifth Brother who had treated her well since her childhood. As his last act of fraternity, he was blamed for the entire incident.
Not only was he severely punished by Lady Yaleman, he was also unrecognized!
Eventually, Yaleman began to take a grudge against their business partners as well.
However, Dylan was already too late. For several days, Fifth brother had been brutally attacked. By the time Gerald's parents found out, he was already bedridden in a vegetative state.
The one who caused so much pain to him was Yaleman's business partner. For them, it was he who had humiliated their family.
When she found out, Lady Yaleman immediately blamed Yulia for everything that had happened. He even publicly announced to the media that he would not admit it!
Yulia herself felt her mother was too cruel. After all, it was he who had expelled the Fifth brother from the family without a second thought!
All of that leads to the revenge of Yulia and her mother for many years. That's the reason why Gerald's parents never visited Yaleman.
However, his parents are responsible for the loss of Yaleman's business partner. It was their revenge after what they had done to the fifth brother.
That's why there are only three big families in the Yanken now, not four.
"What happened after that?" gerald asked, realizing now that his parents had been through more things than he had experienced at his age.
“Well, afterwards, your father and I secretly took care of your uncle. However, about ten years ago your grandmother brought your uncle back to the Yaleman family!” yulia answered among her sobs.
“So, you know, son, you're the only one who can talk to him now after everything that has happened. Only your grandmother can persuade the Moldell family, and if you succeed, your actions will be considered a major contribution to the Crawford family.” Dylan said.
"I understand!"
“Mong-by the way, since you are already heading to Yanken, you should meet your cousin, Bea, your fifth uncle's daughter. Among us, I have secretly supported her all along, but in any case, with her help, things will go smoothly for you. Even though your grandmother is a stubborn woman, I'm sure she won't treat you too cruelly. However, I need to warn you. No matter how badly your grandmother treated me in the past, you are forbidden to be disrespectful to her! ”
Hearing that, Gerald realized how much his mother must have missed him. No matter how much they hate each other, in the end, they remain family.
"Hard and clear!"
