Chapter 185
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

The door of the car was opened. The four women were stunned.‘What?‘Does this luxurious car belong to Gerald?‘Isn’t he a poor man from our department? How could he afford to drive such a beautiful and luxurious car?’They turned to look at Gerald, and their facial expressions changed drastically. That car alone was much more expensive than Victor’s Audi car. They sneered. ‘So what about Victor? It’s so much better than Victor’s!‘How cool this Lamborghini car is!’ The leader from among the girls became pale. She then rushed toward Gerald and said nervously, “Gerald, is this car really yours? Is this yours?”“If not, is it yours?” Gerald seemed to be used to that kind of woman and their tones. He soon said coldly. “Ah! This car is so cool! Is it around one to two million dollars?”That woman soon got near the car. She completely lost herself by then. ‘Look at this luxurious car! If I’m able to even sit in this car for even once, I’ll be so happy that I might die!’ T

“I know him! He’s my classmate from high school. What’s wrong, Gerald? We haven't seen each other for around three years now. Have you forgotten about me?”Lilian said in surprise. But other than surprise, she seemed to be filled with a kind of sarcasm at that moment, mocking Gerald.It was the kind of feeling one had when she finally realized that the person whom she thought had long disappeared appeared in front of her again. After so many years, the b*stard whom she thought had long been dead appeared out of nowhere. She was filled with that kind of surprise.In fact, looking at Lilian like that, Gerald was stunned too. He was tongue-tied...Certainly, he knew who Lilian was. They were in the same class since sophomore year. When they were about to go into different courses in junior high, they were put in the same class again.At that moment, Lilian seemed to be the art committee member. She was good at singing and dancing. However, there was nothing special in their relatio

Gerald looked up. “What’s up?”“We’ve got a gathering between old friends tonight. It happens every couple of months. I’ve never mentioned it before—but since we’ve bumped into each other, this is me letting you know!“Also, Sharon will be there.” Lilian stifled a little laugh. “Come to think of it: Back in high school, you’d come first place in grades, and she’d come second. The two of you were close—in fact, you were after her, weren’t you?”Gerald didn’t reply.Sharon Leslie, an old friend from high school. It was true that they got along well back then.It was also true that Gerald had harbored feelings for her, but that had been before… all of this.Had he pursued her? He hadn’t dared.Early on, during their first year of high school, they’d chat together often. Later, even on those few occasions when he’d tried to strike up a conversation, she hadn’t replied. And so, they’d drifted apart.Three years had passed in a flash.“Tee-hee! Come on… you know, last month, Sharon’

Her face smeared with dirt, the little girl was talking to the boy beside her.“Maybe they haven’t started classes yet—that’s what’s missing!” The boy wiped away some snot. “I wanna go too!”Another somewhat chubby boy piped up, “You need money to go to school. We don’t have any money. Ms. Queta is already working several jobs to feed us. We can’t ask her for any more!”“I’m hungry!” the little girl whined.“I’ll find you some bread in a bit!”“Why are you urchins crowding the gates? Get lost!” A security guard came out, hollering in fury.The three children leaped up in fright.The guard was in his fifties, the sort you might find at a construction site.The children were visibly terrified by him, and on the verge of fleeing—but they kept on gazing at the school, just a little longer…Gerald spoke up: “They’re only looking. That’s fine, isn’t it? It’s not like you paid for this school.”“Kid, I didn’t say anything about you going inside earlier, but don’t be putting on any a
