“…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

This was because all of them could tell that Xyleena was not the kind of woman that they could afford to mess with. Thinking about the current situation, Hayward’s face had already been pale for some time now. He was pacing back and forth anxiously. On the other hand, Sharon was feeling a little disappointed. She had come to learn that Murphy’s sister was very powerful in Mayberry City. She was also very capable in society in general. This would mean that Murphy was also someone quite capable himself. As she thought about it, Sharon began feeling slightly regretful. Had she been too cruel to Murphy? What if Murphy’s future achievements somehow surpassed Haywards? Thinking back, Hayward mostly only knew how to show off. Murphy, on the other hand, was actually a very capable man. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted Sharon felt. Ahh! Why! She had only ever fallen for three people in her lifetime. The first was Gerald but she had already moved on from h

Once the two parties had made their calls, they both waited in a temporary stalemate. At the time, even the police couldn’t really predict how the situation would end. The results later would be the deciding factor of whether today’s events were going to be released to the public or remain private. “Which party’s going to come out on top?” muttered Sharon silently to herself, her heart filled with doubt and hesitation. One moment, she was rooting for Hayward to be the victor, and the next, she was hoping that Murphy—who had still been sneakily looking at her with infatuated eyes—would be the one victorious. To put it simply, an onslaught of complicated emotions were being flung at her. While Sharon continued to wonder, footsteps could be heard from behind the interrogation room door. Several footsteps in fact, and they all seemed to be moving rather hastily. “Hell yeah, dad! Is Chairman Lloyd here?” asked Hayward excitedly. “Don’t even dream about it. Chairman Lloyd and

Aside from feeling ashamed, she was also starting to grow a little nervous. All three of the women were feeling the same emotion. They were terrified to even think about the possibility of Gerald actually being a big boss! As Gerald left through the police station’s front door, he was surprised to see that Wesley—from the Bureau of Commerce—was already waiting for him in a car right outside. Gerald got into the car. Wesley smiled before saying, “Mr. Crawford, you were just a witness so why were you still being held on hold? Hahaha!” Gerald knew that he was talking about the fact that Xyleena had continued to insist that he was an accomplice in the matter. “Don’t even mention it, she just has a small grudge on me.” Gerald didn’t need to get into the details so he simply provided a simple answer. “I see, I see… By the way, Mr. Crawford, there’s been something on my mind that I’m still unsure whether I should be sharing with you,” said Wesley with a smile as he continued to

“Holy! That’s such a beautiful jade bracelet!” Everyone was equally shocked when they saw what lay inside the parcel. The receipt that came with the parcel made them even more shocked. The two bracelets had cost more than forty thousand dollars. “Hey, we want to see too!” Jacelyn started jumping and shouting on the other side of the screen. Harper and Benjamin took the jade bracelets out before showing it to them through his phone’s camera. Gerald’s other roommates continued looking at the boxes Even the boxes didn’t look cheap. Everyone was now convinced about one thing. Gerald was rich! That was an undeniable fact, At that moment, the boy standing by the door started whispering hurriedly, “Gerald’s back! Put it away quickly!” Harper immediately ended the video call as the other boys hurriedly placed the bracelets back into their original boxes. When Gerald opened the door to enter the dormitory, he saw that all his classmates were standing. They all looked flust

Back then, his father lived in poverty and he had failed to pass the entrance examination to get into university. Therefore, Gerald’s grandfather had forced him to serve as a soldier in the army instead. There, he met his comrade-in-arms. After being in the army for two years, he returned to his hometown and took up farming. He needed the money since he was broke. Somehow, he managed to gather just enough to open a steamed bun shop and he stopped farming then. However, since his father wasn’t one to just let a thief escape when he saw one, he ended up maiming the thief. As a result, he had to give up his steamed bun shop to the other party as compensation. By then, he had also borrowed a lot of money and had a lot of foreign debt. It was a point in his life where he was so poor, that he didn’t even have the money to celebrate the New Year. Seeing no other hope, he decided to look for his comrade-in-arms. His comrade-in-arms lived within the country and came from a pretty ri
