Chapter 115
Alice’s family ran an information company.Their annual profit was about nine hundred thousand dollars to one million dollars. It was not very high, but it was already pretty good.The location of the restaurant was inside a very luxurious hotel. After Gerald and the others entered the restaurant, they realized that Alice’s parents had indeed ordered a table full of high-end wine and dishes.Unfortunately, the person who he really wanted to invite to come over here today was not here at all.“Alice, you are here!”George smiled as he stood up. Now that his daughter had caused such big trouble, his company was also in a dire situation now. His company was most likely about to face bankruptcy within a month after William’s cruel words and threats.He would be losing more than ten years of hard work just like that.He could only force a smile at this time.“Hello, uncle, auntie!”Everyone greeted each other.“Alice, dad wants to ask you something. Didn’t you say that one of yo

A young man dressed in a suit and leather shoes opened the door and walked in.Well dressed, he looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.As soon as he came in, George and his wife immediately stood up as a gesture of respect.“Yuvin, what did Charles say about this?”The man standing in front of him was Charles Zeller’s secretary. He was also the son of George’s wife’s distant cousin.They were somehow connected in some way, where he was also a distant cousin of Alice.George intended to ask for Yuvin’s help in creating a path for him so he could depend on Charles’ connections. At the very least, he didn’t want his company to go bankrupt, just like that.Yuvin shook his head and smiled wryly.“I’m sorry, Uncle. Charles came to this restaurant just now, so I thought he would come down. However, it seems he’s busy entertaining a very important guest here. It means he’s really indisposed at this moment. I told you not to wait for him here.”“I know Charles is no

”You’re dining at the Majestic Phoenix Restaurant too? That’s great, Mr. Crawford! I’ll come over, and we can toast to a glass of wine!”Cough. Cough.If anyone were to make a toast, it should have been Gerald. No matter what it was, Wesley was still his senior, after all.But since Mr. Harrison had invited him, he should just come over anyway so they could enjoy a drink together.How could he not give face to Mr. Harrison? He even gave his room number to Mr. Harrison.It was no big deal. At most, he would simply invest more in the future.Gerald hung up the phone.George and everyone else was still staring contemptuously at Gerald.“That’s unexpected! A person of this sort could have friends in the Majestic Phoenix Restaurant?!”“Yeah. How pretentious!”The girls sneered.Now, Gerald’s status in their hearts had significantly plummeted. Yes. Gerald was either a low profile second-generation heir or someone who had won the lottery of their hearts before this.He was really

”Mr. Crawford, when your banquet is over, please, come up and join us to discuss the issues I mentioned earlier.”Wesley then warmly shook hands with Gerald. When the young man waved his hands, he couldn’t help but wonder how many companies would rise overnight in Mayberry City.Mayberry City’s economy had already improved significantly.It was all because Gerald signed his name a few times.He was a young man of such power and stature, yet, never one to be pretentious or showy, from the very beginning to the end. He remained polite to everyone around him.Rare! This was really rare!After he was done talking, Wesley left the room with everyone else.The room was all but dead silent at this time. Nobody spoke a word, all looking toward Gerald with open mouths.George and his wife thought to themselves.They had initially thought that Charles was the greatest man around, albeit a little arrogant.However, now, it seemed the really powerful person turned out to be this young

Early the next morning. Since it was a Saturday, Harper and the rest of the boys wanted to wake up at their own time.Gerald did not bother them either, heading to the west cafeteria on his own.Mila had arrived early, and she was already waiting for him there.She even brought two sets of breakfast.Fried rice with egg and ham!“I bought some rice for you! Hurry up and eat it!” said Mila with a smile.Gerald wasn’t shy at all. “What’s up, Mila? What did you want to tell me?” he asked as he took a bite.Mila was dressed beautifully today. Her fair legs were exposed, and it made his heart flutter.Gerald couldn’t help but stare at her.“Hehe! It is my grandmother’s birthday today. I’ll be going back to celebrate it for her!”Mila blinked. “You should know about my relationship with Irene, right? Don’t blame me for being petty. In fact, I am not the kind who likes to compare or make comparisons. That said, my relationship with Irene is very special. We’ve been like that ever

His biggest dream was to drive a car. He wanted to drive a vehicle that belonged to himself, and it needn't be an expensive car.Now, he could finally drive!Not to mention, he had a Lamborghini! He would be lying if he said he wasn’t excited!After picking up his driving license, Gerald went to his car.“Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!”A brand new black Passat skidded past Gerald’s body.After that, the beautiful car drove around the park.Many people were walking around the park, and the Passat also attracted many girls’ attention. “Wow, it’s a Passat! It’s the latest model from this year. Looks pretty good!”“Isn’t it more than thirty thousand dollars?”“Looks like it’s the top-spec. That car should be at least forty-five thousand dollars!”“Oh, god. More than forty-five thousand dollars?! Must be another rich guy!”A group of girls quietly whispered among themselves as they pointed at the luxurious cars.This park was popular thanks to the Lamborghini.The past few days saw a

”Hey, Jordan, look! The pathetic guy you talked to is walking toward the Lamborghini!”“Hehe! Lamborghini is a reputed brand. That pathetic jerk must be trying to gain some insight. He might even take some pictures and post them on social media to show how awesome it is. There are many people like that!”The girls replied in contempt.“Perhaps. There is nothing those sorts are incapable of doing!” smirked Jordan.“By the way, Jordan, do you know who owns this car?”“I really don’t know, but I can tell you a lot about the configuration and interior of this car. It a first-class design! Even a simple part is made through strict data calculations, all personally supervised by a master with decades of experience!” Jordan replied with a smile.“Ahh? You’ve aroused our interest, Jordan. Care to explain more to us so that we can learn more about the car?” one of the girls asked, with a surprised look on her face.They were saying this, not just because they wanted to learn more about t

The long-haired beauty yelled in shock.As soon as her violent temper flared up, she raised her hands, wanting to hit him.Beep! Beep!Suddenly, the Lamborghini’s four lights, which had been silent for over a month, flashed brightly.Then, almost instantly, the engine came to life with a low rumble.The doors unclicked and opened upwards.The car seemed to be glowing extremely brightly, its body letting out a sheen under the bright sunlight. It looked as though it had been waiting a long time for its owner to return.Gerald put down the key in his hand.After that, he slowly walked over to the car and went straight for the driver’s seat.It was completely silent even though more than a dozen girls were standing nearby at this time.The sudden silence felt as though the world had already planned it in advance. The whole area had become completely silent.Everyone’s eyes were wide open as they witnessed the scene.Jordan’s mouth and eyes opened up as large as they possibly
