‘What now? What should I do?!’One hundred thousand dollars was not a small amount! She could not earn that much even if she sold her own body.Xavia knelt on the ground and broke into tears.Meanwhile, Gerald had gone back to the dormitory in confusion. He wanted to take a nap, but he couldn’t.He felt pain when he thought of the slap mark on Xavia’s face.If Xavia had stayed with him like before, she would have been able to get anything she wanted.If she was bullied, of course he would take revenge for her.But ironically, she had betrayed him.She had lied to him. She told him that she needed some time to clear her mind, but she had started dating another man in just three days.Gerald never mentioned this, but he would never forget it.Lying on the bed, reminiscing about the good things about Xavia as well as the way she had ridiculed him, half an hour passed without him noticing.Suddenly, Gerald’s phone rang again.It was from Mila.“Where are you, Gerald? Come to my house quick
It was such a huge street and yet, it was nothing in the eyes of the young Mr. Crawford.How powerful was this Crawford family?!Whitney and the rest of the girls fell for Mr. Crawford immediately. How they wished to become his girlfriend.“Still, aren’t you exaggerating this?”“If it is such an influential family, we should have seen it on the Internet!”The girls doubted it.Quinton laughed. “Those that you see online are not the most powerful ones. Think about it. What kind of an existence would a company be when all the big companies you know online are supported by it? Many of the large industries are supported by such a powerful company, and such companies are run by families of whom we don’t usually hear their names!”“Hmm, it makes sense.”The girls were now convinced.Ring!The phone rang.Mrs. Smith picked up the phone. She was shocked when she saw where the call was from. “It’s from the Bureau of Commerce!”Helen was getting anxious.Were they going to seize their assets? It
He was rather annoyed by his innocence back then.Now that his peculiar parenting was over and he had spent so much money, he was still being scolded by his sister!Gerald felt that his life was quite dramatic, almost as if it was a dream.“Hey, I’ve checked the transactions of your card. You have spent all the money! Haha, great job! I heard from Zack that you have improved a lot. You even learned to use our company funds to invest in a small company! I did a background check on the company you helped. Did you fall in love with that girl? Are you getting me a sister-in-law?” Jessica asked playfully.It was true that Gerald had been keeping in touch with Mila over these past few days and they were indeed growing fond of each other. Mila chatted with him about almost everything, and he was very happy to chat about anything with her.However, the closer they got, the more Gerald became reluctant to take the first step in pursuing her.He did not expect his sister to find out about this.
Gerald was truly surprised when he saw Xavia working as a waitress in the villa.No wonder she had disappeared these days, it turned out that she had come here.Nevertheless, Gerald was happy for Xavia.How should he put it... Although Xavia remained hostile toward him, she had not fallen and had found a job after that incident, working hard to earn money.Compared with other consequences, Gerald preferred to see her like this.“Gerald, why are you here?! Is this a place where you can come and go freely? Get out now!” Xavia said coldly.“Hey, Xavia! Do you know this guy?”A few waitresses around Gerald’s age walked over and stood beside Xavia.They were in their senior year, similar to Xavia, and were about to embark on their internship. Hence, they wanted to work in the villa to earn some money.They heard that they would be able to meet many people with big names here, but they were all puzzled when they saw Gerald.This guy did not dress like those second-generation rich frat boys.
Now, she wanted to vent all her inner resentment toward him.You—Gerald was a nothing! What was there to be so proud of!“Hmph, you loser. Get out. If you don’t get out now, I will call the security guard!”The few girls spoke coldly. “This is not the place… Ah! Xavia, look! Mr. Bale is here!”They suddenly pointed at the gate excitedly while mocking Gerald.A luxury car stopped by the gate, and a handsome young man in a blue suit came down from the car.He walked in confidently with one hand in his pocket.“Mr. Bale!” Several female waitresses waved toward him happily.On the other hand, Xavia became very reserved and behaved like an elegant lady.“Xavia, you guys are busy…” Mr. Bale came over and smiled.“No, we are not busy, Mr. Bale. We are just stopping a loser from getting in just in case he disturbs your father and other people’s meeting inside!” She stood beside Bale as she spoke.As for Bale, he hugged Xavia’s waist lightly and looked at Gerald who was standing at the side.“W
“Are you crazy? How could the entire Mayberry Commercial Street be yours? Why don’t you go to heaven, then?”The girls were looking at Gerald as if they were looking at a fool.As for Bale, he was laughing so hard due to Gerald’s remarks.Mayberry Commercial Street? This guy said that it belonged to his family.Gerald smiled bitterly. Right at that moment, his cell phone rang.The call was from Zack.“Mr. Gerald, have you reached yet?”“Yes, Zack. I’m in the front hall,” Gerald said.“Ah! Okay, okay. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson from the Bureau of Education are with me. We are coming to meet you there right away! They have long wanted to see you after hearing that you are going to invest in some public welfare projects as well as commercial projects.”“Uh… alright!”Gerald had not expected the directors to come so soon, and he hung up the phone after he was done talking.On the other hand, Mr. Bale and the others were looking at Gerald in surprise.“This loser is acting as though he
Jane and the other experienced waiters had been busy during the dinner just now. Hence, she had just only arrived.Upon hearing that, Jane slapped Xavia’s face coldly.“Go and stand at the back right now!”Although it was an honor to be able to work in the villa, one must understand the rules while working here!Xavia was stunned by this slap.Really?!She only knew that she was not dreaming when she felt the pain.All of this was true!Gerald did not lie. He was indeed a rich second generation. Both Yuri and Mr. Bale were no match for him!He was the owner of the commercial street, which meant that he was the richest man in Mayberry City or even in the world.Xavia felt very hurt. Did that mean if she hadn’t broken up with Gerald, she would be a rich lady now?!She certainly would be since Gerald had loved her so much!“Mr. Gerald, after entering the office, I will introduce them to you one by one…”Zack Lyle made a gesture, and Gerald nodded his head.Then he glanced at the dumbfound
Gerald turned around and looked at Xavia indifferently. “Xavia, of course I have not forgotten the things that you said. Indeed, it was because of you that made me feel that there is hope in my life during that period. Did you know? I was willing to give you everything at that time. However, it was you who broke up with me. To be honest, I’m still hurting even till now. I just hope that you can always be well. It will be the same in the future. You should get on with your life!”It was no longer possible for him to get back together with Xavia after experiencing the things that had happened over the recent days!It was not perfunctory, and he meant it sincerely.Xavia finally calmed down after hearing these words, and her face grew very red.Once, there was a boy who loved her so much and was willing to sacrifice everything for her.Alas, she had wanted to seek comfort.Even now, Xavia did not dare to say that she used to love Gerald whole-heartedly.At that time, she had just wanted t
