Chapter 702
Though he used to see Maia as a goddess way back in his poor days, this was the final straw. Gerald would no longer tolerate her straightforwardness and sharp-tongue! “Well since I’m already ‘acting’ like a rich guy, I may as well ‘act’ till the very end! You know what, I’m adding another hundred and fifty thousand dollars to that initial five hundred thousand!” announced Gerald with a wry smile. “W-what?” Hearing that, everyone fell into utter shock! As if five hundred thousand dollars wasn’t enough! This person was now donating a grand total of six hundred and fifty thousand dollars to charity! At this point, the rest of Gerald’s classmates were all staring wide-eyed at him. It was hard for them to even process that such a simple looking person could actually be such a rich man! While this was the reaction of Gerald’s classmates, the silence ended when one of the students from another third-year class began cheering! Hearing that, a chain reaction of cheers and applause

“Oh? Who could you be planning to give all that to?” asked Gerald as he continued smiling. Gerald was rightfully curious since this was the first time he had ever seen this side of Marven. “Haha… Between you and me, it’s a girl I have a crush on! She’s from the Taekwondo society which is going to hold a tournament very soon! Since she’s been training so hard, I thought of buying some food to keep her well-nourished!” replied Marven, a huge grin on his face. Hearing that, Gerald felt happy for Marven. While Marven was one of the smarter people, his feelings were still simple and honest. Since they were now rather close friends anyway, Gerald decided to tag along. Eventually, they arrived at the Taekwondo society. Inside, quite a number of people were busy training. Scanning around while hugging all the food he had bought in his arms, Marven finally found the person he was looking for. The girl he had a crush on was stunning, to say the least. “Hahaha! Look who’s here, Raqu

She was well aware that Marven had a crush on her. However, even though she had made it extremely clear that she wasn’t into him, why on earth was he still pestering her? Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to relationships. If Raquel had received the same treatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded. However, Marven was a completely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a bad image if she was going to be completely honest about it. After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was any less morally aware! “B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up. While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a few of the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurt because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there. The two continued walking on un

“What exactly happened? There’s no need to rush, just focus on telling me everything in detail!” added Gerald. “It’s… It’s grandpa Finnley! He’s been packing up and trying to leave! Even now, I’m still struggling to stop him from doing so!” “What? But why? Everything’s been going smoothly for a while now! Why the sudden urge to leave?” replied Gerald, confused. Gerald saw Finnley as a mysterious old man who—even in his old age—still operated alone most of the time. It was fate that had brought Gerald and Finnley together, and the old man had already helped Gerald on multiple occasions. While Finnley still seemed to enjoy pestering him, Gerald said nothing about it. After all, he had already received so much help from the old man. To return the old man’s favour, Gerald welcomed Finnely’s presence, serving Finnley with fine food and also a place to stay in his mansion. Since Finnley had also saved Queta’s life, even she treated him well, and she would always make sure that

“Alright, how about this? I’ll stay here for three more days and though you probably won’t be able to learn any difficult moves within that short amount of time, under my guidance, you can surely learn at least a few for self-defense. That way, your enemies won’t be able to come too close to you that easily! While the moves themselves are practical and generally easier to learn, keep in mind that the moves aren’t designed to hurt people! They’re primarily for self-defense, after all!” said Finnley. “…Wait, you aren’t kidding, right? I’ll be able to learn basic self-defense in just three days?” replied Gerald with a smile. “Listen, if I say you can master it by then, you definitely can! Consider yourself lucky that I’m even staying back to teach you, you brat of a grandson! And don’t look at me with those doubtful eyes! If you don’t believe me, try hitting me with all you’ve got!” said Finnley as he waved at Gerald to come at him. “I’d rather not! Again, Mr. Quick, I was only hurt

Realizing that Gerald was ignoring her on purpose was the trigger to her anger. ‘Who do you think you are to just ignore me?’ Maia thought to herself. “What do you want?” Knowing that he had mixed feelings toward Maia, Gerald found that reason enough for him to ignore her earlier. What more, he understood why she would be frustrated to see him, now that he was clearly wealthier than her. He just couldn’t be bothered by her. “So what if you’re a little rich now? Like that’s a good reason for you to ignore me! Anyway, I just want to know where you got all that money from,” enquired Maia as she stared straight into Gerald’s eyes. “Sorry, private information,” replied Gerald coldly. “Private? Hah! You just earned a bit more cash, big deal! That still doesn’t change the fact that you were a pauper in the past! I’ll be frank with you, Gerald! You’re at most an upstart, you got that? And upstarts are infamously known for being arrogant pricks like you! Unlike Jamier and the oth

Both of them had decided to start their company in a building quite near to the university. The building itself was grand and looked like the perfect place to start a firm. What more, it was also surrounded by lush greenery, almost as though Mother Nature had personally blessed the location. Many other companies were already using the building as well. The popularity of the place really exceeded their expectations. By starting their travel agency there, the other companies would definitely begin organizing their annual trips with their agency! They had avoided locations that were in the middle of nowhere for a reason. The revenue difference said it all. It didn’t take long for the two to arrive at the investment center within the building. “Didn’t we settle this over the phone? Where’s the guy we’re supposed to meet up with?” asked Gerald as both of them walked through the main entrance. “I’m not sure either, brother. I called him earlier but the line was busy!” “I see. Wel

“L-lying? I have no idea what you’re going on about!” replied Raquel as she crossed her arms. With quite a number of people in the center looking at them now, Raquel really wished she could simply hide from all this embarrassment. “…Why… Why are you behaving this way…?” asked Marven as he took in a deep breath. In response, Raquel only looked to the side in silence. “Huh, so you’re Marven, right? Raquel’s childhood friend or something? I’ve heard quite a bit about you! Just look at yourself! Get out of my sight already!” yelled Jefferson as he dangled his Audi A6 car keys right in front of Marven’s face. “Hello, hello! Your name was Jeff, right? I’ve been waiting for you to arrive!” said a suited employee out of the blue as he rushed over to shake hands with Jefferson, a friendly smile on his face. “Hey there, Aaron! It’s been a while since we’ve last met! Sorry for the wait!” replied Jefferson as he returned the handshake. “No problem! Alright, so let’s get straight to b
