The reply had come from one of Leila’s friends. “Alright, alright, girls. Tell you what, I’ll pay for whatever we’re eating tonight! We can spend up to a thousand and five hundred dollars tonight!” said Douglas with a smile. “But Douglas, why are you the one paying? Gerald’s clearly the one who should be treating us!” “Well, you may not know this, but I owe Gerald that exact sum of money! If I pay that amount for supper, the IOU will be fully paid off!” Douglas was thinking to himself then, that Gerald shouldn’t even consider reclaiming his one thousand and five hundred dollars from him! He would rather use the money to entertain everyone rather than return the money to him. “Alright! Let’s go! It’s time I got off work today anyway!” said the salesgirl happily. At that moment, Leila’s cell phone began to ring. It was Willie. “What’s this? Hadn’t we agreed that he would donate at least a hundred and twenty thousand dollars so that I could find him a job? Why is there o

“What fifteen thousand dollar bank savings book?” asked Gerald, slightly taken aback. Before Xeno could stop him, Gerald had opened the door to see a very anxious Sienna. “Oh, don’t worry about it! I need to use the money!” said Xeno as he smiled. “What are you using it for? And what are you holding in your hand? Oh god, what are you doing with such a big cheque?!” The anxiety in Sienna’s voice only seemed to grow even worse. “The money’s for Gerald! How could we possibly purchase an almost brand new car for just a hundred thousand dollars? What more, it’s a Mercedes Benz G500!” replied Xeno. “And why would it be impossible? What’s wrong with earning some of his money? Xeno, you can’t cheat anyone else of their cash but you can definitely cheat him! Give me the cheque!” yelled Sienna as she snatched the cheque from his hand. “Pfft, we’ve sold the car for a grand total of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars. We already gave Gerald one hundred thousand dollars and we a

After Xeno was expelled, Gerald got beaten up several times. Even that girl that the gangster was after left Gerald, opting instead to be with the bully. The reason why Gerald became afraid and shy of girls whenever he saw them during his high school and university years, was directly linked to this event. Once Xeno got expelled from school, he simply continued living his life out on the streets. He was rarely ever at home. What more, when Gerald entered high school, Xeno kept changing his phone number. It was difficult for Gerald just to be able to get in touch with him sometimes! Since that day, Gerald had always kept Xeno’s sacrifice and kindness deep in his heart. This was because Xeno’s possibly great future had been shattered by a single event, and it was directly caused by Gerald! Sienna knew about all this and this was why she didn’t like Gerald. Sienna was actually a very nice girl. Her family owned a big supermarket in town and they were very rich. However, she

It was about the jade pendant. Zack had managed to contact an old, well-experienced master on a jade antique street in Serene County. He was apparently very famous in the local area. What more, he had also been told that the old master had inherited his craftsmanship from his ancestors. This was perfect since Gerald needed an experienced person like this to help identify and appraise such an ancient jade. Gerald decided that he would let the old master have a go at identifying and appraising the jade pendant first. If he couldn’t, Gerald would simply look for other jade masters from all over the country then. After all, if even the dean didn’t know anything about Xara Machamer’s identity, how else would Gerald be able to find out anything about her? His only clue was this jade pendant, and Gerald understood that. Originally, Zack had wanted to accompany Gerald to meet the master. However, Gerald’s father had told him that the fewer people knew about Xara Machamer, the be

“Job...? Also, you still haven’t told me why you came to look for my grandpa today!” said Cindy, her curiosity growing. “It’s nothing serious, I just came to ask him for a favor, no big deal,” replied Gerald. “I see… Oh! Since you’re already here, why not come in? I’ll make some tea for you!” “Maybe next time, I’ll be back soon anyway. I’m just going to head to the bank now to withdraw some money,” replied Gerald as he smiled. “What a coincidence! I’m also going to the bank to pass my mother’s cell phone over to her. Let’s go together!” said Cindy as she walked out of the shop and stood beside Gerald. Gerald could only nod awkwardly. All he wanted to do was to leave quietly after leaving the pendant for Matthew to analyze and withdrawing his money. He really hadn’t anticipated running into Cindy here today. “So, your mother forgot to bring her cell phone out with her?” asked Gerald to break the silence as they walked to the bank. “Well, that’s sort of correct. See, my m

“Pfft! Do you even need to ask? He’s probably here to get what little pocket money he has left in his bank account! Hahaha! All of you probably didn’t notice, but he didn’t even have any money in his wallet yesterday!” said Douglas as he laughed. Leila didn’t say anything else. When he was still rich, she couldn’t deny that she had some feelings for him. Now, however, she felt nothing for him after witnessing all that he had done yesterday. “That’s right! He’s come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!” said Leia as she too, laughed. Leila’s face scrunched slightly when she heard Cindy’s name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling her tales of how he was broke and that he may have pulled her along to cheat her of her money. Once she heard all that, Cindy looked at Gerald with anxious eyes. “Why did you sell the car, Gerald? Also, why did you sell it for such a low price?” She was sincerely worried about Gerald. “I’ll tell you about

By the time Gerald was done settling the house’s payment, it was already close to noon and Xeno made sure Gerald was aware of this by constantly calling him. After hurrying back to his hotel room to change into some better clothes, Gerald immediately headed for a restaurant called Johnsbury Bistro. While he was on his way there, Xeno and Sienna were already at the restaurant. Three other people were in the private room with them. One of them was Sienna’s colleague while the other two were the girl who was going to be Gerald’s blind date today as well as her mother. The girl had long, black hair, and her skin was very fair. She looked both delicate and beautiful. However, her looks dictated her behavior as she seemed cold and her head was lowered most of the time as she constantly looked through her WeChat. Her mother, on the other hand, was a plump middle-aged woman with tattooed eyebrows that looked similar to caterpillars. Contrasting her daughter, she looked rather sturd

Wasn’t he just here to meet this girl and become friends?When Gerald heard those words, he immediately felt uneasy and saw that he was in a position to be obligated to get married immediately.Unconsciously, he started breaking out in cold sweat. “First, you have to transfer the title of your house and your car over to my daughter before she marries you. Oh, wait. You don’t have a car yet. So, you can just transfer the title of your house over to my daughter. It should be under my daughter’s name and not under both of your names. This will help ensure that you are sincere, got it?” said the woman.“Oh… yeah, alright.”Gerald nodded, his face sullen and numb.“The most expensive property that I own is worth 120,000,000 dollars. Even if I am willing to give it to you, would you even dare accept it? Hah!”“Secondly, there’s definitely a problem with your parents. You have a sister, right? I’d better give you a heads up about this. If your sister gets married in the future, you ca
