“Congratulations, Mr. Duffy, for winning a gold keyboard worth 15,000 dollars!”The host spun the wheel again.Ding!“Congratulations to…”“…”Three prizes were sent out subsequently.Ding!“Congratulations, Mr. Jonathan Ladd! You’ve won an emerald jade bracelet worth 30,000 dollars!”“Ahh!!!”Montana was dizzy with excitement as she heard the emcee’s announcement.The audience burst into applause too.The prize alone was just a part of the raffle.More importantly, Montana could go up the stage with Jonathan, the same stage which the other big shots stood on. Besides, there were a ton of reporters on the side.Gosh!What more could a woman ask for?Montana was so elated that she even smacked Gerald on the cheek. She was just too excited, and the smack felt like it was no big deal!“Who will be the one to go home with the grand prize?”The voice of the emcee echoed loudly, and the crowd fell into a hush.As the pointer dropped, the crowd’s eyes widened in anticipation

Especially Montana, who had just been reprimanding Gerald all this while.Her eyeballs were about to drop out of her eye sockets.F*ck!She was extremely aware about Gerald’s background. He was just a mere poor pauper with no money.And who was Mr. Crawford?He was the most reputable man from Mayberry, and even more so the man who was going to change the history of Serene County.Montana would not believe that the two of them are the same person, even if she was beaten to death.However, Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke knew who Mr. Crawford was.So that meant Gerald’s identity was not a mistake.F*ck, Montana’s was completely mind blown. “Mr. Lyle, you guys must be mistaken right? You’re calling this poor b*stard Mr. Crawford?”Montana could not help but blurted out in a straightforward manner.Zack frowned slightly at the question. Looking at the wine stains on Montana’s dress, he turned to the organizers of the event with displeasure and said, “What’s going on here? How can a

After they had chatted over the phone, Gerald suddenly remembered his dad’s advice to visit his comrade from the army in Serene County. He had been back for more than a week and he had long forgotten about it.Gerald had nothing else to do at present. He then bought some gifts and headed to the upper-class area of Serene County to visit Mr. Willie Jung.The relationship between their families, as mentioned earlier, had drifted apart quite a bit after several incidents that went on in the later stage.But his dad was a very sentimental man.He did not believe that it happened, but the reality remains. As a person, how could one have no humane feelings at all?Gerald remembered the cold treatment from the Jung Family when his dad brought him along to beg them so he could go to high school six years ago.Gerald understood his dad’s feelings.But this time round, he was alone, and he came here with a different identity!He wondered if he would face the same treatment as before…As

The girl stared at Gerald, her eyes filled with curiosity.To be honest, she was somewhat looking down at Gerald when she saw the ordinary clothes Gerald was wearing. His sense of fashion was a bit countryside-like.When they heard of her question.There was a minute of awkwardness between Willie and Leia.Especially Leia.It was just a second ago that Willie said he had an urgent matter to handle and he would be having a meeting soon. They were hoping Gerald would not stay for lunch.And then her daughter jumped out of nowhere and popped this question.This made things much more difficult for Willie and Leia.If only their daughter had come out a little later, Gerald would have left by now!“Oh, Leila, have you forgotten, he’s Uncle Dylan’s kid, didn’t you two meet when you were little?”Leia said with an awkward tone.“Ah I remember, he must be Gerald, right?”The girl replied.“You still remember me, I’m Gerald! It’s been years since I’ve seen you, and you’ve gotten muc

Douglas forced out a peal of laughter.“That doesn’t count!” At that moment, Leia smiled as she served the dishes in front of them. Then, she turned to Douglas, “This is Gerald, the boy whom Leila’s father had made a promise to while her dad was drunk. As you can see, Gerald is now well-groomed, and Leila is no match to him, don’t you think so too, Gerald?”Leia asked Gerald who was sitting at the very edge of the table.“Yes, yes!”Of course, Gerald had caught on what Leia’s words meant. He was also afraid that the crowd would draw the topic to himself, so he hurriedly nodded his head.This, however, made Douglas a little scruple.Honestly speaking, he had liked Leila for quite some time now, but he had not confessed his feelings to her. The two of them had always been in an ambiguous relationship.But then, Mrs. Jung said that the boy whom Leila was initially betrothed to was also here.Here comes the drama.Everyone else was also looking at both Douglas and Gerald.They we

Because of what had happened, they gave Gerald a good scolding.It made Gerald quite embarrassed.F*cking hell, it was Douglas who did not hold the glass properly, and they were all coming after him?But Gerald understood.Heh.It was down right obvious that the unfair treatment was because Douglas held some special status and Gerald was just a nobody.“It’s not Gerald’s fault, I was the one who didn’t hold the glass properly. By the way, Gerald, you’re not working yet, are you?” Douglas smiled as he asked Gerald.“No.” Gerald shook his head.“That’s not good, didn’t you find anyone to pull some strings for you? Why didn’t you find any?”Douglas looked surprised.“Connections are hard to maintain nowadays unless you’ve strong ones. Just like Leila’s current job, I wasted a huge deal of effort just to find it for her!”Willie said bluntly.He immediately disclosed that piece of information.“I’m good, thanks!” Gerald replied.“Hmm, I don’t think that will be good, let me

Finally, it was Gerald’s turn to get into the car.But there was no space.“Oh, f*ck! Just look. Both of our two cars are already full. We cannot possibly ask you to sit with the girls, right? It wouldn’t be convenient!”Douglas laughed and said after rolling down the car window.He had been deliberately mocking Gerald ever since he heard that he had a marriage contract with Leila and deliberately making things difficult for Gerald to embarrass him.Gerald also knew that the reason Douglas had invited him to the karaoke bar with them was probably for this very reason too.“What’s wrong with sitting next to a girl? I will move in a little. Gerald, come and sit next to me!”Cindy said as she waved at Gerald.Douglas felt a little unhappy at this, but he did not dare to say anything because Cindy was also a beautiful goddess too.“Thank you!”Gerald smiled and nodded slightly before he sat next to Cindy.Soon, everyone arrived at a room inside a karaoke bar.Douglas also invit

”What? He got beaten up?”“F*ck! He got into trouble!”The boys and girls in the room suddenly grew very nervous.Even Douglas became anxious.But he did not panic. He simply replied calmly, “Why are you so anxious? Come, let’s go out and take a look. I want to see who’s the prick that actually dares to touch my buddy!”Douglas then waved his hand and a crowd of boys and girls followed closely behind him.A few of the boys even grabbed a few bottles of beer with them. It seemed as though they were going to start a fight today!Gerald had already expected Yorick to get easily agitated.But he really did not expect him to get beaten up.Everyone had already headed out now. It would not be good for Gerald to continue sitting and drinking in the room by himself. Hence, he decided to just follow everyone out.Let’s talk about Yorick. A group of people were surrounding him in the center of the karaoke bar.He was curled up on the ground and blood was oozing out of his forehead.A
