[Should we have a meal together at noon after our exams tomorrow? Okay? I will be waiting for you!]Giya sent a series of text messages to Gerald. Gerald naturally saw all of her messages.After thinking about it, he replied: [Thanks, but I will not be going. I have to rush home as soon as our exams are over!]Due to the scattered examination schedule, Gerald had already sat for some of his exams before this. There were only two more subjects for the so-called final exams tomorrow morning.Additionally, he did not want to have too many interactions with Giya anymore.He replied to her directly before he turned off his cell phone so that he could rest earlier.The next day, Gerald completed his exams for all of his subjects.After that, he packed his luggage and put his blanket into another snakeskin bag.Zack had initially planned to send a special car over to take Gerald to Serene County.After all, the project in Serene County had already begun progressing ever since the p

Of course, her most notable feature was her love for the rich and her disdain for the poor.She was almost the same as Cassandra, his current teacher.Rich students were like their close friends and buddies.If you had no money or power, you could just go and die wherever you wanted to.Sometimes, her words were also very cruel and heartbreaking. That was the reason why Gerald had a very deep impression of her.“Oh my God! This is such a coincidence. This is the first time that I’m taking a bus since I was young, but to think I would run into you now!”Montana replied as she smiled wryly.It seemed as though she was afraid people would misunderstand her and think that she took the bus often.“Montana, who is he? Is he one of your students?” A handsome young man in a suit asked as he sat next to Montana.“Yes. I’ve told you about it before. I used to have a very poor student in my class. He would always bring two steamed buns and a bag of pickles to school every day. Moreover,

“Sir Herring Jenkins is the head of the county. Who on earth could make him wait at the bus station?”Montana could not mask her surprise.Was it that rich dude from the city?No way. Why would someone as rich as him come here by bus?“Wait here; I’ll go say hi!” Montana’s boyfriend straightened his suit and tidied up his hair.He was ready to go over.“But Jonathan, will this work? Will Mr. Jenkins pay any attention to you?” Montana couldn’t help but worry.“I guess so. After all, he knows my dad too, and I’ve had dinner with him twice.”Jonathan reassured Montana and headed over to the other side.Montana, however, didn’t dare go with him. The other side was filled with big shots, and several heads of the Ministry of Education were also present.As a fellow staff member, of course, Montana didn’t possess the courage to approach them.As for Jonathan, he went and came back quickly.While there, he looked very proud, thinking that he had a chance to stand out among the

“Ahem, Mr. Winters was hospitalized this afternoon. I’d just come back to pack some clothes when I heard the phone ringing.”“What? Hospitalized? Which hospital?”Hearing Mrs. Winters’s gloomy tone, Gerald’s heart thumped in his chest. He hastily asked for the hospital’s location.Mrs. Winters told him the address.It happened to be at a hospital in the same county.Mrs. Winters also happened to arrive at the same time after hitching a ride on one of the county’s bread trucks.Gerald assisted her down from the truck before rushing to the emergency room in one of the hospital’s buildings.Mr. Winters had apparently suffered from cardiovascular problems and passed out while having his lunch.The incident gave her a big scare, and she immediately called for an ambulance. Now, the doctors were still doing all they could to save his life.“Why are we the only ones paying for his hospital bills? Big brother, he’s our dad... your dad, so you’ll have to chip in too.”In the emergency

The nurse led Gerald downstairs to pay at the counter, though she felt somewhat skeptical about him.What then could be the reason for her doubts?It was all because of the way Gerald dressed. He didn’t look like one that would have much money on him.The medical bill came up to 20,000 dollars, almost impossible for the average family to fork out, let alone someone like him.Gerald proved her wrong, though. He paid the 20,000 dollars for the surgical fee and even settled the accommodation as well.It was a whopping 30,000 dollars in total!He paid for everything without even batting an eyelid.The nurse was stunned, unable to move.Gerald paid no attention to her and walked back to the hallway.They were still fighting.“Everyone, stop fighting, I’ve settled the bills,” said Gerald.“Huh???”Only then did the fight die down.The siblings were stupefied when they heard that.“You paid for everything? Gerald, it was 20,000 dollars! Where did you get the money from?” asked t

“You’re Morgana Lopez?”Gerald was a little surprised.Of course, he knew her. She was from the same class in high school and even representative of the English class. Her name was Morgana Lopez.During their high school years, she was pretty yet looked normal at the same time.But he hadn’t seen her for three to four years, and all dolled up, she looked really hot and beautiful.The metamorphosis was pretty evident.In fact, he was mentally prepared to bump into high school classmates long before he returned to his hometown.After all, the ones that should be working had already gone to work.“I saw your picture taken by Montana Lewis in our English class representatives’ group today. You were carrying a duffel bag, so I knew you were back. I didn’t expect to meet you here… what a coincidence!”Morgana straightened her hair.Even after graduation, it was common for some teachers to leave behind their contacts to stay in touch with class representatives.F*ck! Gerald was stu

“Hmph! Why did he make the other intern a permanent doctor and not me? It’s just as I’ve said before. He isn’t giving face to your father at all! Doesn’t he know we are both seeing each other? He made the other intern a full-time doctor and ignored me instead!”Morgana was so enraged that her fork almost slammed into the table again.Gabriel tried to console her.Gerald listened as he ate, and he could almost understand what happened.The gist of it was that Morgana Lopez’s entry into the hospital as an intern clinician had been arranged by Gabriel’s father, the hospital’s vice president.Of course, Morgana was really good at her job, where she was very professional and was very proficient with her skills. Many hospital staff and patients had unanimously commended her.Gabriel’s father, however, seemed to be at odds with the director.In the end, Morgana became the victim of the conflict between the two.She suspected it would be a little more than challenging to become a perma

So, he agreed to go.In the afternoon, once Mr. Winters finally slept off, Gerald left for the party.It would be held in Cape Grace Hotel, somewhere around Serene Town county.Attracting investors had always been a top priority for the region, and this time, much thought had been put in to make it as grand as they could.Even many business owners of Serene Town County would be attending.Zack and Micheal arrived first since Gerald had to look after Mr. Winters.Gerald stood at the entrance, ready to enter the hotel.Beside him, a car pulled up at the parking space. A couple came out of the car, arm in arm.The woman was dressed elegantly and formally, and the man had a suit on him.“Oh my, we should’ve left earlier. Look at the time now!” complained the woman.“Hmph, why is it always my fault? You were the one taking hour upon hour to put that makeup on! My dad even called a couple of times to hurry us since Mr. Crawford will be arriving. It’ll be an embarrassment if we are
