Chapter 288
“Holy moly, what did you just say Margie? This phone costs 2830 dollars? That’s crazy!”At the same time, Hayward’s surprised yelp could be heard coming from the mobile phone store not too far away.Sharon and Lilian who were beside him were also a little startled.They were definitely shocked by the phone’s price.They have tried out the phone’s functions and features, all of which were really great. The phone’s camera quality was clear and crisp, and for pretty girls like Sharon and Lilian, having a phone with an excellent camera was more important than anything else.They all looked at Hayward expectantly, waiting for him to buy one for each of them.Beads of cold sweat trickled down Hayward’s forehead.“Nah, it’s too expensive. It’s over 1500 dollars for one, close to 6000 dollars for two, this phone is way too overpriced!”Hayward wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.It was confirmed that his house was going to be demolished, but the compensation would only be transferr

“Who would’ve thought that Gerald is such a great actor? Haha, if we didn’t run into him today, he might have stopped by each cell phone store and then act like he’s going to buy it!”“I know right, and then he will end up not buying it. I’ve seen far too many actors like him!”The two girls took turns to scoff at Gerald.“I hope you’ll become more sensible, Gerald. Your family is poorer than everyone else, and in the future, you’ll have a lower starting point in your career than anyone else. Even Hayward, who’s about to receive his compensation from the demolition of his house doesn’t dare to buy any of the phones, and yet you’re thinking of buying one? Stop pretending!” exclaimed Sharon.Honestly speaking, her attention had always been on Hayward before this.She never bothered paying attention on Gerald at all.Now that even Hayward was mocking Gerald, she could not help but follow suit and ridiculed him with a word or two.Then, she shook her head in contempt.“Hayward, sin

That was unbelievable!Could it be that he has won the lottery?And how much did he win?It was apparent that the question bugged Lilian and Sharon very much.They were anxious and wanted to know the answer.It did not matter to them if the money was stolen or robbed. They were only hoping that he did not just win the lottery.Otherwise, it would be too much for them to handle!“I’ve got things to do, gotta go!”Gerald ignored their questions as he was not obliged to answer them.He turned and walked away coldly, leaving them staring with widened eyes and mouths.The moment he walked out of the door, Gerald immediately called Zack Lyle with his new cell phone.He told him the predicament that he was facing and that it would be great if he could come and pick him up. He would explain the matter further once they met and they would find ways to resolve it as soon as possible.Zack was shocked when he heard the news.He had to act immediately.Gerald hung up and sent him his

A shout broke through the silence of the crowd.Damien’s goons stopped when they were just about to beat up the taxi driver.The crowd immediately looked towards the direction of where the shout came from.It was Gerald.While standing here alone and seeing the taxi driver refusing to give up his information even though he was beaten up to the brink of death, Gerald felt a sense of gratitude towards him.Now, not only was he unconscious, but his family was also dragged into this mess, and he was about to have his tendons plucked and severed by Damien’s goons.Even if Gerald was inhumane, he would still stand up against this violence!Gerald walked through the crowd.“I’m the one you’re looking for, so why are you torturing the driver?”Gerald glared at Damien, stone cold.“Ha! Brat, I sure as hell found you, it seems that my gut was right!”Damien smiled cynically the moment he saw Gerald.’Earlier, Damien ordered his men to barge into Wynn Thornton’s house so they could ca

“Agreed. I guess he was scared out of his wits, that’s why he brought up Zack Lyle’s name, but why didn’t he say he’s Gerald Crawford?”“Young people these days, they love messing around. Don’t they know that there are some people who cannot be messed with at all?”The surrounding onlookers shook their heads and sighed.But none of them dared to come out and do justice. They did not even dare to videotape the entire scene when the ruthless Damien Rye was around.Gerald was being held down by a few bodyguards.“Hahaha, hold his head down tightly. I’m going to bash his head into a bleeding pulp!”Damien picked up a stick. He held the stick up high, ready to swing and smash.Buzz!Suddenly, more than thirty luxury cars came whizzing by.A car took a sharp brake and swung its tail directly at the onlookers.Then, a team of black-suited bodyguards came down from the cars.The atmosphere was tense.Two extremely agile bodyguards dashed speedily towards the scene, and with three s

The place was getting more and more crowded.Damien Rye was also getting more dumbfounded.He was the one who ordered his men to go after Gerald, and as a result, almost half of Mayberry, be it the military, or government officials, or even the business higher-ups came here instead.Even his very own cousin, Henry Rye was at the scene. He was deeply embarrassed.On the other hand, Gerald could not stay any longer after being surrounded by so many people.If he stayed, his identity would definitely be exposed.Moreover, the driver was still unconscious and no one was taking care of him. He approached the group of bodyguards and then instructed Flynn Lexington, who had just arrived, to do something about it.They immediately drove the car, bypassing the crowd, and sent the driver to the hospital.As for the rest of the matter, Gerald believed that Flynn would take care of it.“Damn, they’re all really here!”Hayward and the others finally managed to squeeze through the crowd af

Hayward had returned to the crowd with glee as the crowd looked at him with awe-filled eyes.“Alright, Mr Lexington just told me that we shouldn’t be staying here, something big might happen later, so I think we’d better retreat first!”Hayward smiled.“Yeah, yeah, anything you say Hayward!”The crowd nodded and then left in a hurry. The embarrassment that Hayward felt after being proven wrong by Gerald earlier, all vanished at that point.Compared to Hayward, Gerald could not even be considered humane.Speaking about Gerald…He had already sent the good-willed driver to the hospital.As for the matter which he informed Flynn Lexington about, he told him to look after the driver’s family and sent over a sum of money.To show his gratitude.As for Queta’s family, Gerald was thinking of going back after Flynn had completely settled the matter.Just as Gerald was struggling to decide about where to head next.Suddenly, he saw someone in the class group chat tagging all the mem
