Gerald didn’t care. Picking the bracelet up, he carefully observed it before saying, “Wrap this up for me. I’m buying it.” “Are you sure sir? This excellent hetian jade bracelet costs seven thousand and five hundred dollars… Perhaps you would like to look at something else instead?” The smile on her face was beginning to fade at that point. “Just do it already, why are you asking so much?” replied Gerald, rather coldly. The salesgirl packed the jade bracelet up before swiping it on the payment machine. However, the transaction was a failure. Gerald suddenly remembered that the minimum amount for each of his bank transactions had to be at least thirty thousand dollars! “Hehe… Since when has Trinity Jewelers become such a low-class shop? Can any random person just waltz in now? What’ll become of our noble customer experience then?” The scornful voice came from a couple who had just entered the shop and witnessed Gerald’s payment failure. The couple consisted of a woman who

Gerald remained in the VIP waiting area as he watched the two continue to bicker, a quarrel seemingly imminent. From what he was able to hear, Gerald was able to piece the reason for their argument together. Essentially, Sharon had broken up with Murphy without giving him a proper explanation. Her only excuse was that she wanted some time to herself. This was very reminiscent of the time Xavia had broken up with him. F*ck. She had said the exact same thing to him too. That she wanted some time alone. He really shouldn’t be thinking about her anymore. Shaking his head, he turned his focus on the duo’s argument again. The rest of the story was rather straightforward. Murphy had not been convinced with her excuse from the very beginning. He later found out that Sharon was getting very close to a rich heir. What more, Sharon’s friend had also told him that Sharon had been actively pursuing said heir. Because of that, Murphy now had conflicted feelings for Sharon. On one h

“Alright, that’s quite enough, young man! You can’t prove anything by hitting a woman! If you really want to prove your worth, work hard so that she’ll regret leaving you in the future!” rebuked a well-dressed, middle-aged man who looked noble and dignified. At this point, Murphy had already calmed down a little. He could only sigh as he clenched his fists tightly. “That’s right! If you want to show your worth then go make something of yourself! I think that’s impossible though since you’re a lunatic! How dare you hit me today? You’re done for!” shouted Sharon who was still sprawled on the ground, panting heavily. “You should speak less yourself. Young girl, you should stop dating only wealthy men. Rich people are fickle. If you want to break up, clarify things with your partner first. There’s no point of saying anything else just to trigger emotional responses from them,” reprimanded the same man toward Sharon this time. Sharon went silent and simply covered her face with her

“Oh my… That doesn’t look like any ordinary jade bracelet… It’s a shame that it’s already in three pieces…” “Hmm… It seems to be a hetian jade bracelet. I’d say it costs about seven thousand and five hundred dollars. What a pity that it’s broken now. That girl really is too violent. She should have to pay the full amount since she was the one who pushed the salesgirl!” “There’s still another box. I wonder what happened to its contents…” Several of the people there were contemplating the matter as they looked at Sharon. Meanwhile, the salesgirl had fallen into a panic and forgot to even apologize to Gerald. She immediately began opening the second box. Once she opened it, everyone there instantly exclaimed out loud. “That… That’s the jade dragon! The one and only jade dragon! I’ve heard that if you look very carefully, you’ll be able to see the shape of a dragon inside the jade itself!” “I’ve heard about it as well! It’s one of the top-selling items in this shop. It was ma

Fortunately, the manager managed to stop Hayward before he could continue attacking Murphy. A few good-natured people helped Murphy to get on his feet before calling for an ambulance. “F*ck! Why are you here too, Gerald?” Lilian finally saw Gerald who had been standing at the side. “Don’t even mention his name anymore! If it wasn’t for that pathetic jerk I wouldn’t have broken the seven thousand and five hundred dollar hetian jade bracelet and the thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet!” replied Sharon with a look of disgust on her face. “…Come again? More than thirty thousand dollars…” Harvey was dumbfounded. Through the phone, Sharon had only said that she had met with an accident at the Trinity Jewelers shop. She hadn’t mentioned anything about the compensation or the outrageous cost. Naturally, he was speechless for a moment when he heard this. The same went for Lilian. Due to her nervousness, Lilian began scolding Gerald. “So what if Sharon got beaten up?

“…What the f*ck?” “…Huh?” Both Sharon and Lilian were dumbfounded as they watched Gerald leave with the two boxes. The boxes which contained the two jade bracelets that had almost scared Sharon to death earlier. The moment her issue had been resolved, Sharon felt that she could finally breathe again. However, she now felt as if someone had just kicked her in the head. Her mind went blank. Gerald was the one who had bought the two jade bracelets? Lilian and Hayward’s eyes were open wide in shock. This was especially the case for Lilian. She was so shocked that she didn’t hold on to one of the jade pieces firmly enough and accidentally dropped it onto the ground where it shattered. “Wait! Gerald! You… You were the one who bought the two jade bracelets?” asked Lilian in surprise. Gerald simply ignored her and continued to walk away with the jade bracelets in hand. He was beyond angry this time. There was no need to bother explaining anything to them. “Humph! He cou

“Haha! It’s fine, forget about it. It wasn’t a big deal!” Gerald did not want to go. “No, no Gerald, I insist! You don’t look down on us, do you? You would never look down on your own high school classmates, right? Or do you secretly look down on us because you were admitted to Mayberry University while we only took the normal entrance exams for normal universities and colleges? I see how it is now!” said Liana shamelessly. “You know I don’t mean that! Fine, let’s have a meal together!” Gerald said before sighing. How could anyone be this shameless? Gerald was at a loss for words. However, since it was only a meal, he was willing to just eat together and be done with it. After all, he had nothing to lose. Besides, it was an opportune time for him to prevent them from having anything more to say about him in the future. He would just join them for their meal and see what they had to say then! Gerald nodded to himself before turning around again. They didn’t eat in any of

At that moment, several police officers walked into the room along with the one who had initially pointed at them. “That’s them!” An angry voice came from someone who had white gauze wrapped all-around their head. As he walked closer, the group could finally make out who the person—who was pointing at Hayward—was. ‘His name was Murphy right?’ Gerald thought to himself. The situation was quite clear. After Hayward had attacked Murphy, Murphy must have called the police after getting his injuries treated. It seemed that the police had managed to track them here through the help of the surveillance cameras on Mayberry Commercial Street. If that wasn’t enough, Hayward had also booked a table at a restaurant near Mayberry Commercial Street under his name. “Alright then, we’ll be needing all of you to come with us!” a single police officer said coldly. Both Hayward and Sharon began panicking. Even though Hayward was feeling rather superior a few seconds ago, his actions had c
