Chapter 297
It was only natural that Felicity was surprised.Fuck! She had never mentioned this matter to her roommates before. So, how did Gerald find out about the red envelope Jersey sent to her in private?She did not say anything to anyone, aside from Brother Ordinary Man.“Ahhh?”Gerald panicked for a moment when faced with Felicity’s question.He really didn’t understand how Felicity could have been that cruel, and as a result, he couldn’t stop himself from interfering, merely blurting out everything that was on his mind. Then, he suddenly remembered that Felicity told him all these on his second WeChat account.“Well… when I was watching your live broadcast one night, I saw Jersey talking to you about some red envelopes that he sent in private. So, at that time, I thought he must have been sending them to you in private!”Gerald hastily made up some gibberish.Felicity, nonetheless, felt a little more relieved.Yvonne, who was standing aside, sneered. “Hahaha! Gerald, I really

“Felicity, don’t be nervous. Explain yourself to Ordinary Man immediately!”Yvonne advised her.“Which car should I get into?”At that moment, Gerald stepped outside once he was done with his work.He saw that there were many cars parked in front of him. He could not help but ask Yvonne since she was the one who asked him to stay for the clean-up.‘Does she want me to hail a taxi back just like the last time?’“You can just get into any car you want. Don’t you notice that Felicity is feeling troubled? You’re just so dim-witted, good-for-nothing!” Yvonne scolded him impatiently. “Yvonne, don’t bother him. Help me think of a way to reply Ordinary Man’s message quickly!’Felicity said anxiously. As they were discussing, Felicity then thought of a response. She then drafted the reply. The sound of a bell was heard. In that instance, a sharp notification tone ringed and Felicity caught it faintly. It seemed to come from a student’s phone from the car beside them.It stunne

“Felicity, if that’s the case, go and call up your seniors from your company immediately. And contact Ordinary Man quickly too!”One of the girls said nervously. Since she was a girl, she became rather nervous hearing that somebody else was coming, looking for trouble and to pick a fight.Felicity sniggered. “What should I be afraid of? I need nobody. If Jake dares to come to Emperor Karaoke Bar for me, I’ll make him pay a heavy price for it. We’ve got a close friend, and even the CEO here is afraid of that friend of ours. This is our territory!” Felicity planted her arms at her waist firmly and burst into laughter. Gerald was stunned. ‘Oh gosh! Is my identity exposed?’ They were puzzled. “Who is that?” When they learned that they had a friend like that, Yvonne and the others became quite curious. Felicity boldly replied. “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I just want you to know that you’ve got nothing to be afraid of. I’m here to take care of the situation. Let’s just e

At the same time, all of a sudden, the door swung side open. “Miss Dunn, who were you referring to? Who dares to pick a fight here?” They were the bodyguards who worked at Emperor Karaoke Bar. There were five of them, and they entered the private room with Yvonne. Yvonne was quite a smart girl. When the others barged into the private room just now and got into a fight with Blondie, she sneaked away quietly and carefully as they were beating Blondie up. As the room was dark and fights were ongoing, hence nobody bothered about Yvonne. She then quickly hailed the bodyguards. The bodyguards there seemed quite sturdy. “Oh! It’s the CEO—Mr. Jotherell! Hello, Mr. Jotherell!”Unexpectedly, the bodyguards were stunned the moment Jake turned around and looked at them.“Who the hell is Mr. Jotherell? He’s the one who’s beating people up here!” The minute Yvonne saw how the bodyguards reacted, she was stunned.“What nonsense are you talking about? Does Mr. Jotherell have to trou

The moment that woman walked in, Gerald and everyone else immediately knew who Felicity’s patron was.Cassandra McGregor!“Counselor!” As shocked as everyone was, they greeted her warmly nevertheless.This was a big deal! They’d only known Cassandra as a beauty queen with impossibly high standards, and never any boyfriends.Who would’ve thought that she’d have something going on with a big-shot like Flynn Lexington?Even more astounding was the reverence Flynn seemed to have for her.It was truly befuddling!Regarding the relationship between Felicity and Cassandra—it all started from that night, when Gerald rescued Cassandra from that newly opened bar.That time, he’d sent her back with Flynn.Whilst in the car Cassandra had discovered Gerald’s power bank which was left behind. With that giving her a heads up, she slowly started to realize that it might have been him behind her rescue.Just as she headed back to get to the bottom of the matter, she ran into Felicity, who fre

Even Harper Sullivan joined in the merry-making.Gerald could hardly stay out of it. “A toast to Cassandra!” he announced, raising a glass.“Oho, so you were here, Gerald? It’s like you’re always there whenever something’s going on. I didn’t spot you earlier—where were you at?” Although Cassandra still held little regard for Gerald, through sheer force of habit—nevertheless, she was no longer as cold to him as she used to be, considering he’d helped her out before, in his own way.“Ahaha, are you asking about him, counselor?” Yvonne cut in. “He’s been hiding in that corner the whole time! When Jake burst in here with all his guys, Blondie and the others stood up to them, but Gerald just sat there! Gosh, he’s more helpless than us ladies!”Earlier, when she’d slipped away, she also happened to pass by where Gerald was seated, and had noticed him there.“That’s right! Anyway, were you really expecting this guy to be any help in a fight?”“Now, I’m sure Gerald would have stood along

A young woman suddenly cut right in front of them, without a word, displaying not the slightest bit of regard for others.Gerald was not in the mood for this. “Miss, don’t you find this a little rude?”The woman ignored him.“That’s right! My teacher says you can’t cut in a queue!” Yasmin exclaimed with a frown.“Bah!” The woman turned around and snapped, “So I cut in front of you, so what? What can you do about it? All bark and no bite!”One could see she was around twenty-one, with a fair complexion and a pretty face—and dressed in such a way as to leave little to the imagination. However, her stuck-up attitude only pissed Gerald off to look at her.“You’re the one barking!” At the limits of his patience, he snapped off a harsh reply.“What did you say to me? Just wait right here—I’ll have somebody cut you down to size!” Shrieking and swearing as though she’d suddenly gone mad, the woman was pulled away by several bystanders.Finally, she left in a huff.Well, that came ou

Word about this whole incident, with the maiming of Damien Rye, was guaranteed to get out.The question was how Damien himself would spin it.“Do you know them, Gerald?” Seeing all these powerful people gathering outside the hospital, Queta stood beside, feeling anxious.“I know them; but they don’t know me.” Gerald smiled wryly. “They’re just here to visit somebody. Never mind about it!”“That gave me a fright! I thought that woman had summoned a bunch of thugs!” Queta gave a long sigh of relief.After one last look at them, Gerald turned to go. He drove Queta back to her place.Zack Lyle had some dirt on Damien Rye, so the latter would probably hesitate to stir up further trouble.Along the way, Gerald didn’t forget to bring up that other matter, concerning a change in employment for Queta.“By the way, Queta… interested in changing jobs?” he asked with a smile.If she wanted to, she could have her pick of any position in Mayberry International. It wasn’t out of the cards to
