“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
Gerald grabbed a paper towel as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He felt the sudden urge to relieve himself and started pacing toward the washroom.As he passed by the female’s washroom, he unexpectedly heard the woman and her daughter’s conversation as she repeatedly patted her back.“What’s wrong? Why the sudden nausea?”The woman asked worriedly.“Yeah… This naughty little boy is kicking me again!”“Oh! I told you to be more careful! I’ve always told you to pay more attention to what you do! Why did you have to mess around with a foreigner?”She frowned and scolded.“Mom, don’t say that about Jamison! Jamison isn’t just any ordinary guy. He’s a foreigner from M Country! He promised me that he would come back to look for me in three years!”Gerald, who heard this from outside, was fuming with frustration.He knew that these two women had really deceived him.It felt too good to be true, and everything was oddly in place, but the girl seemed so anxious to get married.S
As Xeno and the rest rushed in; they were welcomed to the scene of Gerald fighting with both women.The three of them were utterly shocked at the sight, quickly intervening and persuading them to stop fighting, which fortunately turned out a success.Xeno knew that if Gerald had really lost his temper, he could be really ruthless and impulsive.No. Actually, half of the woman’s face had started swelling badly after getting hit by Gerald.Xeno and the others hurriedly dragged the two women, still yelling and cursing, away from the scene.He had been given the responsibility to send them home.Sienna could not help but feel a little anxious. What was going on here?Despite feeling uneasy with the whole situation, she still got into the car with Xeno and the rest.He informed them that he would be having dinner with Gerald tonight to get some clarity on what happened.Gerald did not suffer other injuries aside from a stinging cheek from the woman’s slap.As for why he had to ven
He had barely eaten anything, and his stomach grumbled with low groans.It would also be ungracious to turn down Francesca’s kind offer; hence Gerald agreed to join them for lunch. It was then that Gerald received a call from Xeno.“F*ck! Gerald, I am so, so sorry for you. I totally understand now why the fight happened. Let alone you, I, too, felt like giving them a good beating. If it weren’t for Sienna, I would have already given it to them just now. Isn’t this simply equivalent to committing fraud?!”Seemed as though Xeno found out the truth. He was enraged and fuming mad.“Sienna and that colleague of hers have already gotten into a big argument. She wants me to apologize to you. She really trusted that colleague of hers! Who would have expected her to introduce such a piece of trash to you instead? That woman even vomited inside my car! Hmph!”Xeno couldn’t help but feel contrite.His intentions were good—introduce a girl to his buddy to give him a helping hand. On the co
“Know Aunt Lacy and her family, Gerald?”Gerald previously drove a Mercedes-Benz G500 at the hospital, and he even knew the county’s leader. It really surprised Xella.Frankly, Gerald was quite charismatic that day.That said, regardless of circumstance, Gerald was still inferior compared to Waylon and Jacky, who were standing next to her.Waylon’s family owned a huge empire. He had also started his own company and became a boss at such a young age.Although Waylon didn’t drive a car as posh as Gerald’s Mercedes Benz G500, he had higher prospects compared to Gerald.As for Jacky, Xella suspected that he was the one who helped her the last time as the deputy manager of the personnel department.He was a large organization manager, and he had very high standards in the public institution. He was also rewarded with a very high bonus and dividend at the end of the year.Plus, Jacky also owned a business.He was a handsome, eligible white-collar worker.What about Gerald? What els
A waitress yelled at the top of her lungs.“Get lost!!”A man cursed.The next thing everyone knew, the room door was kicked wide open.A group of seven or eight brawny men with buzz cuts and gold necklaces around their necks rushed into the room.Each of them had dragon-like tattoos carved over their bodies. They definitely gave off an intimidating vibe. Clad in short-sleeved shirts, they slowly looked around, staring deadly at the people inside the room at this moment.The leader of the gang had on a T-shirt and a sling pouch bag. He took a long puff before he growled in a raspy voice, “Who was the one who booked this room? I want you to move to another room now!”“Why should we do that? Who do you guys think you are?”Cindy asked angrily as she stood up. She was not afraid of them at all.“Who am I? Hah, girl. I am Warrick Yackel. If you don’t know who I am, go out on the streets and ask anyone about me!”Warrick chuckled as he threw the cigarette butt on the ground
