Gerald tried to calm her down. “Who were these two? How did they even come in here? Did they know the rules?” exclaimed a middle-aged man from the other table. The entire room fell into a hushed whisper. It was nothing but plain rudeness stealing Elena’s limelight while she was still talking on stage. All the more, standing up while everyone else was seated must have caught the attention of the Larsons. Everyone’s attention then shifted back to the stage to see how Elena would react. Tears welled up in her eyes as she dropped the microphone in her hand.“You came!” Elena cried. Gerald cleaned his pants, and when he heard Elena’s voice, he realized she was looking right at him. “Yes. Happy birthday!” Gerald replied awkwardly.He looked around, realizing he didn’t actually bring any gifts for her except his car keys. “I’m sorry I didn’t manage to prepare anything for your birthday. I can only wish,” Gerald said apologetically.“I thought you’d forgotten me!” Elena wipe

“I turned off my phone, Ms. Weaver,” Lilian shouted as she ran toward Quartney. Since Hayward and the others were following them, she was afraid they might get exposed. The last time Gerald claimed the Ferrari was his, Sharon did not believe him. This time, she had to make it clear. She stomped over to Gerald and stood in front of Quartney. She glared at Lilian and asked, “What are you afraid of, Lilian?” “Ms. Weaver, right? Is this car rented by Lilian?” “Absolutely not!” Lilian tried to make eye contact with Ms. Weaver—it was apparent she was trying to hide something. Sharon snatched the contract from Ms. Weaver and laughed, “This is a rental! Look, Hayward! Oh, Ms. Jung and Douglas, let me humor you guys. I was having some coffee with Hayward today, and this girl called Lilian…” Sharon showed them the contract smugly while spilling the details from this morning’s incident.Hayward was envious of Gerald, but after what Sharon said, he felt terrible for Lilian again.

Gerald felt good about it, but Lilian didn’t resent Hayward at all. “Gerald, this car must’ve cost a bomb, right? It’s quite a sight!” Liam walked toward them and smiled at Gerald.No matter how much the rest mocked him, Liam knew that being friends with him would be advantageous since he personally knew Elena and drove such a luxurious car. “About 22,000 dollars!” Gerald replied, smiling politely. They both shook hands. Meanwhile, Liam’s phone rang. “Dad? Okay, I’ll go back now!” Liam hung up his phone. “Hey, Gerald. I’ll have to leave now; it’s really nice meeting you! I’m so sorry, Douglas and Leila, something came up, and I can’t take you guys home.” “Huh?” Leila was stunned. They were supposed to hitch a ride from Liam back home since Douglas did not dare drive his car. Meanwhile, Gerald had already started his car engine, and Lilian was sitting next to him. Douglas then turned to Leila and asked. “Leila, why not we take an Uber?” “Uber? Look at you, is ta

“Hey, dad!”Gerald called out respectfully, answering the video call.Although it wasn’t the first time he video called his father after discovering his true identity, Gerald had somewhat grown to be more respectful towards his father.He increasingly felt how honorable of a man his father was.“What are you up to now, son?”Gerald’s father broke into a smile the moment his son came on the screen.“Am just about to rest, Dad. What’s up with the late call? Anything you need to tell me?”“Yes, I do. I was initially planning to ask your sister to look into this matter. As I’m aware, you spend most of your time and energy, focusing on your homework. This thing will be delayed since your sister has gone to handle factory issues in North Africa. I wonder if she’d already told you about it?”“You need my help finding a woman?”Gerald recalled his sister’s instructions and what she confided in him previously. She had asked for his assistance in looking for a particular woman.“Yes, I

Throughout this whole time, both of them have occasionally been chatting with one another on WeChat whenever they were free.At present, Queta was already teaching at a new kindergarten and was doing pretty well.Gerald had helped Queta out and gave her a house to live in, where Drake and Tyson shared the same place with her. “Miss Smith, can you do me a favor? I can’t review these children’s homework in my class on time. My boyfriend is already on his way, picking me up to go shopping. Could you review their homework on my behalf?”A female teacher with waist-length hair asked Queta, who was also reviewing her students’ homework.“But Miss Lawrie, I’m still reviewing my own students’ homework too!”Queta replied shyly.“Pfft! If you’re not keen to help me, then just say it. Why come up with so many excuses? Don’t think for a second that you’re so great just because Mr. Teves introduced you to work here. Hah, just think about it! I mean, who are you, Queta Smith? You got crowne

“Pfft! No wonder Queta dared to disobey me today. It turns out she’s gotten herself a boyfriend! Wow, this is pissing me off right now!”Kaitlyn rolled her eyes as she glared at Gerald, who was talking to Queta at that time.“Kaitlyn, what’s wrong?”The man leaning against his car door had his hands in his pockets asked as he threw a quick look at Gerald.“It’s all because of Queta! All the kids are on vacation today, so we’re supposed to stay back in school to review their homework. But I’ve made plans to go shopping and ask her to help me review my students’ homework! But look, she refused to help just because her boyfriend’s here!”“I thought that she actually found a great boyfriend for herself, but he turned out to be nothing more than a pathetic jerk!”Kaitlyn cried out in exasperation, explaining the details to him.She saw that Gerald had on a simple white T-shirt, a pair of sports pants and some sneakers.She couldn’t be bothered to filter any of her words.“That’s ri

“Queta, do you mind if I hold on to this jade pendant for now? I want to look for a master to help me to look into the origins of this jade pendant!”Gerald asked, smiling lightly.Queta paused for a moment before she nodded and said, “Yeah, sure, go ahead!”Gerald continued to question Queta about her past.“It’s really too hot outside! My sunscreen isn’t working at all!”Suddenly, a group dashed into the shop. One of the girls could not help but exclaim out loud as she carried a few bags in her hand.“Kaitlyn, there is a branded shop next to this restaurant. Shall we go in and take a look later?”One of the girls asked.“Okay, let’s eat first!”This girl was not just anyone else, but it was none other than Queta’s colleague, Kaitlyn.“Oh my god! Kaitlyn, look! Isn’t that Queta? Can’t believe she’s eating here too!”The girl next to her pointed at Queta and Gerald.This was totally unexpected.Kaitlyn’s boyfriend was filthy rich — they knew that he definitely would not

”F*ck! How is it that they’re eating so well?”Kaitlyn was shocked.The vanity from her face was thoroughly washed away. “Pfft! Why are you showing off when you have no money? Why bother ordering something that expensive?” mocked Kaitlyn.The other two female colleagues who felt the burn also chimed in as they mocked the pair.Gerald and Queta were really eating very well. Both of them ordered the expensive and large portion of foie gras, while the other four only ordered a small serving to share among themselves.As the waiter served the dish to them, he could not help but give them a look.Gerald chose to keep quiet because Queta kept persuading him, and she didn’t want him to confront them directly.They simply continued chatting as they ate.Once they were done eating, he then realized that Kaitlyn and the others had already left. They obviously couldn’t take the humiliation, so they left in a hurry once they were done with their meals.“Let’s leave too,” said Gerald w
