Chapter 540
As they were mocking Gerald, they suddenly stopped talking. They then looked outside in shock. Two Yamaha motorcycles were parked at the restaurant. There were three men and a woman who got down from the motorcycles. It seemed like they were going to have their meals in Domino’s too.“D*mn! Xabrina, look! It’s that b*tch, Lily!” “F*ck! When we were studying in middle school, you had a bad relationship with her. And what a coincidence that the both of you even went to the same university after. You even beat her up a while back. What are you going to do if she sees you later?” “Oh, god. That tall dude is her boyfriend, and he’s a thug. He has quite the influence around here. Bree, hurry up and hide from her!” Their state of arrogance immediately changed to anxiousness. Xabrina sneered. “Why should I hide from her? I don’t have to be afraid of her. I don’t think that she’ll dare to do anything to me!” At that moment, Xabrina did not have the time to bother about Gerald a

“My elder brother is Yale Lockwood, and he studied at First Middle School before. What’s wrong? Are you afraid? Hah. If you are, hurry up and get lost from my sight. Or you’re all dead meat when he has returned!”Franklin stretched his neck and replied, his voice booming with dominance.“Well, go f*ck yourself!” Gerald’s eyes became bloodshot. He then raised his leg and threw a powerful kick right at Franklin’s stomach. He immediately fell to the floor at the blow, wailing in pain. Although Gerald might seem frail on the outside, he was actually quite strong. Back then, he used to be quite a good fighter when he fought the others with Xeno. Xeno got into more fights than him. Gerald only fought once for Xeno’s sake. Basically, both his arms and legs were really quite strong. When he heard that Franklin’s brother was Yale, he became instantly infuriated. Besides, Gerald was not afraid of anything now. He then picked up a tool, stormed over toward the other two, and smash

“I really got a wrong impression of you today. I looked into you before coming here today. You seemed to be always bullied back when you were in middle school. Besides, when I first met you, I felt as though you were the type of person who was honest but just ignorant and gullible. Did you know that?“But it never occurred to me, the extent of your strength when you get triggered. The three of them didn’t even have the chance to counterattack. You don’t even know how fierce you were just now. You were so manly!”Xabrina used her leg to nudge Gerald gingerly. It was true. Xabrina indeed saw Gerald in a different light now. She even felt slightly touched too. Generally, girls liked masculine men, especially those who exuded that to protect their girls. Gerald indeed had just that vibe. “Nah, you don’t know anything. I’m not usually like this.” Gerald said, shaking his head. “I know that. I can see that too!”Xabrina pursed her lips slightly. “That’s enough. If you’re okay

“What’s wrong?” Gerald asked her, taken aback.Queeny said, “Are you free tomorrow?” “Why? I may have to go and buy some ingredients tomorrow.” The day after tomorrow was his birthday. Mrs. Winters was going to cook a meal, so he could not afford to let her go out there by herself and use her own money to buy the ingredients. He wanted to make sure that he bought the ingredients himself. Queeny sneered. “You’ve been eating what my grandpa and grandma have been eating for these past few days. Why the sudden need to go and buy the ingredients? By the way, your birthday is the day after tomorrow, isn’t it? So anyways, buying ingredients shouldn’t be that much of a hassle. Now, I have something good awaiting you. Just put all other things aside.” “Wow, you’ve actually got something good in store for me?” Gerald chuckled bitterly and sarcastically.Although he grew up with Queeny, she had always been unfriendly toward Gerald since they were kids, even until now as grown-ups. H

Hence, he rolled down the window since he wanted to get some fresh air. But much to his surprise, the window was rolled up again the moment he rolled it down. He then turned to look at it and realized that it was Queenie who rolled the window up. ‘D*mn! That b*tch!’ Gerald cursed under his breath. He tried to only roll down the window slightly, but Queenie immediately rolled it up again.“What are you doing?” Gerald asked exasperatedly, feeling frustrated.“Huh! I’m about to ask you that. I’ve already rolled down the car windows in front. Why did you have to open all of them? What if there’s dust coming into the car? Have you ever even sat in a car before?” Queenie scoffed back, her tone full of contempt.Right at that moment, her phone rang. “Okay fine, Yolanda. I’ll go and pick you up right away. Just wait for me. Yes. Didn’t I tell you about it last night? I’ve got someone with me. Later, we’ll let him help us carry our bags when we climb up the mountain later. You
Chapter 545
Two men greeted them.Both Queeny and Yolanda then led Gerald there, who was carrying a large and small bag.“Why did you arrive so late? Oh, hey, you indeed found someone. That’s good. It seems like we can enjoy ourselves fully today. Bro, thank you for your help.” A man walked over and held Queeny’s waist. He looked at Gerald, smiled, and thanked him.Another man then took out a pack of Marlboro’s and attempted to offer a stick to Gerald. “Jarvis, are you seriously giving him a cigarette? He’s not a smoker. Besides, even if he is, it’s not like he can afford such a good one!” Queeny scoffed.“His name is Gerald, and he’s the guy I’ve told you about. He’s going to help us to carry our bags today. We’ll only need to buy him a meal this afternoon.” Queeny then held the man’s hand and said, “Gerald, this person who just offered you a cigarette is called Jarvis Fish. His parents are working in Water Utilities in the county. This is my boyfriend—Hugo Wayman. His family owns fact
Chapter 546
Just as Gerald took the tissues out, Yolanda snatched them out of his hands before rushing toward Jarvis. She wanted to help wipe the sweat off Jarvis’s forehead too. ‘The audacity of some people!’ Gerald thought to himself, irritated. Yolanda seemed to be quite fond of Jarvis, which was why she had invited Queeny along. Queeny would act as her wingwoman so that she could get closer to Jarvis. Yolanda knew what she wanted. It was as though anyone other than Jarvis didn’t deserve her attention. Even though Gerald had just met her, he was already fairly annoyed with her attitude. “So, what did your dad say, Hugo?” The question came from Queeny. “Well, he said that he can’t help us… He said he wasn’t able to contact anyone here. What about you, Jarvis?” asked Hugo. As Hugo turned to look at him, Jarvis seemed to have just ended his phone call as well. “Any luck?” asked Queeny. She was now willing to pay for a ticket since they were no longer for sale. After all, getting a ti

Gerald was speechless as he followed behind them. Someone else had taken the credit for what he had done. He had thought that scenarios like these wouldn’t happen to him again. Jarvis himself looked like he was clearly out of his mind. It was as though he had lost all his common sense. Why would the manager speak up for him when the one he had contacted was only the vice manager? Then again, Gerald knew that this was partly his fault for acting so low-key with everything he did. However, he didn’t really want to expose his true identity now, especially not in front of these pricks. The entire experience was just slightly disappointing. As they entered further into the building, the two groups slowly merged into a single, large one. After Jarvis’s ‘help’, the girls from the other group were feeling grateful toward him. Some of them even started idolizing him, and this made Yolanda green with envy, birthing a strong sense of rivalry in her soul. The girls flirting with him were
