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

“Who knows? Didn’t Giya say that he had an actual nosebleed the first time he saw her? Apparently he grew too excited from her scent! I don’t buy it honestly!” “Yeah! Why don’t boys have nosebleeds when they see me then? Don’t you agree Giya? I really think he’s looking for you!” The girls continued to chatter silently among themselves. Giya could only blush as she sat there. She had felt embarrassed back then in the library when Gerald had his nosebleed. Now she was even more embarrassed with her friends constantly teasing her about it. They were supposed to be studying now. Much earlier, Tammy had nudged Giya gently before pointing toward the door. Giya and her group of friends then saw Gerald entering with his books in hand. He seemed to be looking for someone for a while before finally deciding to sit down. His quirky actions had prompted the girls to start discussing about him. “Hey, Gerald!” yelled Tammy softly out of the blue. Since it was quiet in the librar

However, Gerald’s heart was reserved solely for Mila. He had always felt guilty whenever he had too many interactions with girls like this. That was also the reason why Gerald had constantly hidden and kept his distance from both Alice and Jacelyn. Upon entering the dormitory, Gerald took the box containing the hetian jade bracelet. He then told Harper and the other boys about his plan before running downstairs to look for the girls again. While this was happening, the girls had arrived and found a table for themselves at the breakfast place. As soon as they sat down, Tammy and the other girls covered their mouths as they started laughing. “Giya, I’m very sure that Gerald kid really likes you!” “Same here! You girls may not know it, but I’ve already done some research on him. Gerald seems to be from the Department of Language and Literature. He’s also a pauper!” “So what if he’s poor? Do you think Giya’s someone who lacks money? At most, Giya can just give him a career

It was at that moment when Gerald finally arrived. In his hand was his own bracelet which he had bought the day before. Though Giya had said that breakfast was going to be on her, Gerald had given it some thought while he was on his way there. Since he was planning to leave the girls alone once the bracelet had been handed over to her anyway, he might as well treat them to one final breakfast. He was prepared to pay the bill no matter what. However, as he approached their table, he noticed that Yacob was also there. What more, it seemed that Yacob had just given Giya his own bracelet gift. “Gerald! Over here!” Giya had not wanted to look at Yacob so she had been staring at the staircase. The moment she saw him, she smiled and waved her hand to call Gerald over. “Why’s that kid here too?” The expression on Yacob’s face instantly soured the moment he saw Gerald. It was a rare occasion for him to be able to spend time together with Giya and the other girls. However, Yaco
