Chapter 203
The first thing Gerald did was contact Jane Zara.Although Jane wanted money, she still got along with it. As long as Gerald asked for her help, she was willing to lend a hand.As expected, she came immediately after the phone call.Only then did Gerald wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and dialed Mila’s number.“Sorry, the number you dialed is off…”Her phone was turned off again!Gerald sent her a message on WeChat.As expected, he was blocked and his number was deleted.Ugh!Gerald blamed himself even more now.He blamed himself more than yesterday for saying the wrong thing. He had no idea how to explain things to Mila regarding his lateness.After Gerald returned to college, he even went to look for Mila a few times, but he ended up getting the door shut right in his face.She did not even look at him at all.He was afraid that this cold war would last for an eternity.Gerald walked around the campus by himself, stopping at a small park and resting there for a wh

No matter what, Jane was still his employee, and since she had begged him, there was no way he could turn her down.So this time, Gerald was willing to help her out.After the arrangements were settled, Gerald went to the hospital and brought Yasmin some food. Then, he waited for Queta to arrive before leaving with Jane.The dinner was held in a private lounge at a restaurant in Mayberry. This was not the first time Gerald had done this, so he was quite familiar with it.Even the opening of the scene was almost the same.They pushed open the door to the lounge.“Jane, you’re finally here! Huh? Who is this guy?”Inside the private lounge, a middle-aged woman dressed in a rather fashionable manner, whom Gerald assumed was Jane’s mother, was now staring coldly at him.Looking at Gerald’s rather ordinary outfit, the woman was already somewhat looking down on him.She was a city dweller, and she seemed to look down on country folks and the way they dressed.“Uhhh… This is Gerald

The girl knew Gerald.On the other hand, Gerald was shocked to see this pretty girl.“Whitney Jenkins?”Ever since that time he had beaten up Victor Wright, he had completely broken up with Whitney.She had always been secretly in love with Victor. Even after Gerald had bought her a dress, in her eyes, Gerald was incomparable to Victor.And because of Gerald, Whitney had almost lost her position in the student council, so when he ran into her these few days, she was always cold toward him.Who knew they would actually run into each other here today!“Gerald, what are you doing here?”Whitney’s eyes were deadly.“Gerald, do you know each other?”Jane was now standing next to Gerald. Her tone was somewhat dubious as she asked.“Of course I know her, we’re from the same department!”Gerald smiled bitterly.Then, he looked at Whitney. ”I’m here to meet Jane’s parents!”“Meet her parents? What for?”Whitney’s eyes were even colder.The three members of the Jackson family loo
Chapter 206
Even if she were to be a sugar mummy, she would not have a sugar baby like Gerald, but this woman had admitted that Gerald was her boyfriend! Whitney then did not respect him any further. She stared at him very proudly as if she was mocking him for being a sugar baby! After hearing what they had said, Jane’s parents’ face turned awful. They really believed that Gerald was a sugar baby. Jane’s mother pointed at Gerald and said, “Jane, give me an explanation now. What is going in with this Gerald? Is he really a sugar baby?” “No, mom! I can explain!” Jane was getting frustrated. It was just a simple matter of rejecting a marriage, but things had turned the wrong way. “I’m not listening to your explanation. Just tell me if he is or is he not?” Jane’s mother asked angrily. Whitney crossed her arms and walked beside Christian. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Christian. Do you remember the poor dude I told you about who was in the same course as me? The guy that was dumped

“Mom! Stop!” Jane almost fainted when she saw the glass splashing over. Unfortunately, she could not stop her. Gerald could not dodge in time, but luckily, it only hit his body. Gerald was immediately covered with tea leaves and tea. “You don’t deserve my daughter! Now f*ck off as far as possible!” Jane’s mother threw the glass on the ground. She was also trying to tell Jenkins that the Zara family was absolutely sincere and she did not care about the life and death of that poor b*stard, Gerald. “Look here, Gerald! Let me take a video of you so that the entire department would know how disgusting you are!” Whitney was laughing really loudly while the Jenkins were all smiling. Gerald would have never thought that Jane’s mother would treat him like that. How ignorant could she be to treat someone like that publicly? Gerald picked out the tea leaves on his shirt and glanced at the entire room of people. Especially Whitney. “Whitney, what if one day you realized that I’m not
Chapter 208
He did not blame their reaction. “Hahaha! Gerald, I didn’t know you were this kind of person. Why can’t you get a toy that looks more legit than this one?” “I really don’t want to talk about this person anymore. Christian, let’s go. We’ll go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment in your Maserati! Let’s go, Jane!” “From today onward, you will be the most disgusting person in our department, Gerald! Could you please do me a favor and get lost now!” Whitney threw the Lamborghini car key on the ground. Jane did not dare to go against Gerald’s will, and she went with them. “Mr. Zara, would you like to take a look at Christian’s new car?” Christian’s father asked. “Sure! Let's go and have a look! While you, please get out of here!” Jane’s mother walked beside Gerald and pushed him. Gerald took a deep breath and picked up his car key. He followed them out. They were surrounding a Lamborghini Raventon and discussing the car. “This is the car I was talking about, Christian. There’

Even Jane’s parents were shocked. They were even asking him to leave their own daughter alone. No wonder he had said that they were the poor b*stards in his eyes! How was that even possible! Gerald pressed the horn as he drove out of the basement carpark. When he passed by Whitney, she really did wish that Gerald would notice her. Even if it meant scolding her or giving her a slap. However, Gerald did not. He merely ignored her and left. As for Jane, he had helped her enough. He stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the basement carpark. Gerald knew that this would hurt even harder than simply just showing off. He did not even bother about their expressions. “Who is he?” Christian swallowed. Whitney was confused and helpless. She didn't even know the answer to that question. Whitney really did think of apologizing to him after what she had done to him after finding out that he was really rich. He had looked so attractive when he got into the car! She even thou
Chapter 210
There were many rich people walking around. Gerald reached the main entrance and watched from the outside.He went to the backdoor and went in from there. When he reached his own meeting room, Zack was standing there with another middle-aged man. There were only two of them, so the other one must be Michael Zeke. He looked really mature and reliable, but through his eyes, Gerald could tell that he would be an aggressive person. “Mr. Crawford!” Zack shouted. “Michael Zeke. Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford!” Michael bowed. “Nice to meet you, Director Zeke. Please be at ease. We’ll talk more inside!” Gerald smiled politely. Michael simply introduced himself and then talked about the future plans he had for Mayberry International Inc. His ideas were very creative and strong. It was very different from how Zack would do things. Michael was a very straightforward and aggressive person when it came to work. “Anyway, I’ve heard from Zack that you have recently bought a bungalow at
