Zack, Howard, and his son went up the platform together. They stood in the same row subconsciously. To everyone’s surprise, they gave Gerald a 90-degree bow.“Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. Congratulations on purchasing the Mountain Top Villa successfully.” They said in unison, just like they had discussed it, and reached an agreement beforehand. A loud bang was heard. As soon as they said that, it appeared like a great blow was thrown into the crowd, and they were shocked immensely.“Mr. Crawford! So it turns out that he’s Mr. Crawford!” “Oh my God! Is he the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry? Is he the absolute national millionaire, Mr. Crawford?” They gaped in surprise and excitement. “What? Mr. Crawford? So Gerald is that Mr. Crawford!” Rita staggered and retreated weakly. During their family reunion before, somebody made a guess that Gerald was the absolute national millionaire, Mr. Crawford. However, Rita had denied it there and then.It was because Gerald d

“D*mn it!” Gerald felt like he was about to have a headache.Those two women were indeed the most shameless women Gerald had ever met in his whole lifetime, even more so than Xavia. He asked them to bark like a dog, and they did so without any hesitation. Actually, both Dawn and Nyla had risked everything they had. They would certainly cling onto Mr. Crawford vigorously no matter what he asked them to do.It was indeed such an effective tactic. Gerald was speechless now. He waved his hand. “Just come along if you want!”“Mr. Crawford!” At that moment, Wyatt shouted. He raised both of his hands and bent his body slightly. He then squeezed out of the crowd and ran toward Gerald. “Mr. Crawford. I didn’t know who you are just now. I was wrong. Please forgive my bad manners. I’m Wyatt Light. We were introduced to each other just now.” Wyatt held both of his hands in midair, wanting to have a closer contact with him, shaking his hands.Mr. Crawford was indeed not someone wh

Soon, Gerald reached the college.He went straight to his own department classroom. When he reached the west entrance, he saw that it was crowded. There were a lot of students from different departments, and they almost blocked the road.Gerald saw Harper and the others who stood in the crowd. So he squeezed his way into the crowd.Then only he saw what was happening. A girl was standing at the west entrance, holding up a sign pitifully.She lowered her head greatly. But Gerald recognized her at first sight. It was none other than Layla. Beside her, there were Cassandra, Victor, and the president of the student union—Whitney. At that moment, Layla acted like a background image, giving the others the chance to snap their photographs with her. “Gerald, here you are. It’s so frustrating!” Harper patted Gerald’s shoulders slightly. He then said angrily, “Layla is indeed in some crisis now. But the class representative is over the line. It’s fine if they want to hold a

Gerald, are you even aware of what you are talking about right now? I must warn you now. Get lost this instant. Otherwise, you’ll be expelled!”Cassandra valued her dignity and fame so much. She was outraged when she heard Gerald condemning them like that.Victor was even more so.“You’re just a poor pathetic person. Don’t feel so smug about yourself just because you won a lottery. How dare you shove me away!”Then, Victor grabbed Gerald’s hair and dragged him along. He then slapped Gerald’s face directly. Victor was certainly a bad-tempered man. He came from a rich family. When was he being treated like that?Besides, Gerald was not as strong as he was.Gerald felt quite painful, being slapped by him. “Please don’t beat him up anymore. Victor, I’m begging you. Don’t beat him up! I don’t want this donation anymore. Just don’t beat him up!” Layla was deeply frightened. She then rushed toward Victor and grabbed him since that incident happened because of her. “Get lost!

Gerald did not bother about their sneers and sarcastic remarks. He only took out his phone and sent Zack a message, telling him what happened with Victor and his family affairs.Then, he dragged Layla back to the classroom. Harper knew that Gerald was now facing great trouble. The Wrights were indeed a wealthy family. Victor’s father was involved in international business, and they were indeed rich. Besides, his father was a local in Mayberry, so he could be considered a powerful and influential person there.But Harper and the others still stayed with Gerald, disregarding those things.“Gerald, are you hiding in the classroom? The department director wants to meet you!”At that moment, Whitney opened the door of the classroom where Gerald was. She then crossed her arms in front of her and said lightly.“By the way, you’re Harper, aren’t you? Go and help to pack up his things. If not, he has to do it himself after he returns to the classroom later.” She did that just b

“Why are you in such a rush? I haven’t even finished filling in the form yet. I’ll answer it when I’m done!”There were a lot of people who would call him up. Normally, Gerald would answer the call right away.But he did not want to do so, seeing how anxious Jacob became. By the way, Gerald had eaten twice with Mr. Raine before. They knew about each other well. They did not have to be so civil toward each other. “Why are you still filling in the form? Go and pick it up! Why is Mr. Raine calling you up? Faster pick it up!” The call went dead.Nobody answered the call for a long time, so it was hung up directly.Jacob sneered. “Gerald, you’re indeed a dumb person! You deserve it for being…”The phone rang again.“Come! Faster pick up the phone!” This time around, Jacob quickly snatched the pen in Gerald’s hand away directly. He then helped Gerald to answer the phone and put it near his ear.However, Gerald did not even stretch his hand out to take the phone from Jacob

“Mr. Crawford, it’s a misunderstanding! It’s nothing but a misunderstanding!” Jacob was deeply anxious. “What is the misunderstanding? I couldn’t even survive now in Mayberry. Faster let me leave college!” Gerald wanted to sign the form. “Mr. Crawford, I was wrong. I was indeed wrong. Actually, I could just give you a light punishment for it. But I listened to the others and wanted to expel you from the college.” If the chancellor knew that he wanted to expel that Mr. Crawford of Mayberry from the college, he would certainly be ruined. Even if the chancellor knew nothing about that, he would certainly be ruined and punished severely given that he wanted to expel Mr. Crawford. “Fine. Then what to do next regarding this incident? Cassandra asked a student to do such a thing in public. It certainly hurt that student’s self-esteem greatly!” Gerald did not even know when he started to have some slight changes.When he was dealing with things now, he was not the shy and cowa

At that moment, Cassandra sent a message to his other social media account. “I’m outraged! Ordinary Man! I want to go and kill myself! What should I do?” Cassandra said so.Actually, Gerald became angry when he saw Cassandra’s name. “If you don’t want to live on, just go and die! What more can you do?” Gerald made a swift reply. “Oh! You’re so annoying! I just want to tell you some of the things which upset me.” Gerald was tongue-tied. He did use quite a vicious tone.But how could Cassandra use such a sweet tone on him, behaving like a spoilt child. Gerald did not know how to reply to his message.“Humph! I always care about you, but you never care about me. I’m so sad!“But I still want to tell you about it. You know what, Ordinary Man. I could only pour out my feelings and speak freely with you.“Something happened today. Do you know about the fundraising campaign for my department? Just because of one pathetic poor b*stard from my class, the campaign was ruined
