He had never expected Mr. Gerald, who was a top-class wealthy man, to be so down-to-earth.It was very different from what he imagined!Moreover, the latter had offered him a great help this time.For his part, Gerald knew that he was still not very sociable, but he was not in a hurry, and he knew to take his time.“Mr. Gerald!”Gerald was preparing to leave after the guests had left. He had an exam to attend tomorrow, so, he needed to go back and practice again.Jane was walking over with a blushing face at this time. She had just been slapped earlier, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to face Gerald now.Gerald also felt sorry toward her.This beautiful senior had always been very fierce, even he had almost surrendered last time!“Yes? Do you need anything?” Gerald asked.“It’s like this. I don’t have any shifts in the afternoon. Hence, I’m going home now. Would you like me to drop you off at the university since we are heading in the same direction?”Jane purposely tried to g
Gerald glanced at Jane’s expression and realized that something was wrong.He then looked to the direction that Jane was looking at, and he was quite surprised.There were two men and one woman. One of the men seemed to be a high society person, and a Maserati was parked in front of him.He was currently talking to the other guy and the woman, and to Gerald’s surprise, he knew both the man and woman.It was Danny Xanders from the same class and Jacelyn Leigh, Alice Bradford’s roommate.Oh gosh! When had they become a couple?Gerald was surprised.Also, it seemed like Jane knew them too.The man suddenly saw them and quickly ran toward Jane’s car in excitement.“D*mn! Ah! Mr. Gerald, I’m not scolding you. I’m just scolding that guy—Luke Evans. I did not expect him to be here. He just won’t go away!” Jane was rather upset.Her plan to seduce Gerald had been going so well. Unfortunately, she just had to run into Luke at this moment.On the other hand, Gerald did get a rough understanding
Jane was grinding her teeth in consternation.Beside her, Jacelyn was clinging intimately to Danny’s arm while sizing Jane up at the same time.Truth be told, when she saw the gorgeous Jane emerging from that fancy car, Jacelyn was immediately overcome with envy.What’s more, Jane herself hadn’t spared her so much as a single glance, and Jacelyn was not pleased by that one bit.Having heard something interesting, she whispered to Danny and Luke, “Goodness me, that Jane really gets around! She’s got powerful friends, buys an expensive car like it’s nothing… but does she have someone special? Perhaps, rather than those big tycoons, she might have picked up some new toy boy!”Smack!The moment Jacelyn said that…Jane slapped her right across the face. “You’d better watch your mouth. What’s this ‘toy boy’ nonsense?”“Did you just… slap me?!” Jacelyn held her face, quite nearly slapped senseless.Jane seemed ready to strike her again.However, Luke caught her hand. “Jane, dear, tell us if t
“What’s going on?”The crowd swelled in size. Curiosity was mounting.“Not sure yet, but it seems that hot babe had something going with that rich dude, but she’s also been cheating on him with a toy boy on the side. Now, they’re making a scene!”“That’s right! The other guy is in the car as we speak! This is going to be the dramatic reveal! I’m dying here!”“Heh, heh… If only it were me in that car right now. That girl is totally fine! Ah-woo!”Many of the guys present were making no secret of their envy.Sitting in the car, Gerald wished he could smash his head against something.“Danny, what’s going on?” Two figures appeared from the crowd. One, a man, and the other, a woman, both who came over to join Danny.“Oh, Victor, Whitney… we need some help over here!” Danny said.He briefly explained the situation.Everyone craved the spotlight. When something was going on, especially with such a large audience gathered, there would always be people who wanted to get themselves involved and
When she’d found out those clothes cost well over ten thousand bucks, Whitney had been shocked beyond words.However, perhaps because the salesperson in the shop had made a fuss over how that woman’s gift to Gerald had ended up in another girl’s hands… Whitney had been too embarrassed to bring it up until now.She had only just found out that he was actually poor.Indeed, she had always wondered where all his wealth had come from.Now, it all made sense. Just like he had told her online, he had a patron.And not just that… She was even chauffeuring him around in a Benz! Last time, it had been a Ferrari!Now, all the pieces fit into place!“Hmph!” Victor snorted. “Gerald, you always seemed like such a nice guy. To think that you were up to something like this… and Mila’s supposed to be best friends with a loser like you?”The crowd exploded into chaos.“Wahaha, he’s the king of gigolos!”“He’s a little fairer than usual, but no God among men. How could he be so popular with so many babe
Gerald turned to look. It was Mila.“Here to practice driving?” He called out with a smile.“Yup, yup! I’m taking the second test tomorrow. Oh, yeah! Will you be taking the third test then?” Owing to what had happened last time, she had run off without finishing the second test.Naturally, she had to retake it.Gerald nodded in response.“Great! Let’s go together and hope that we both pass!”“Sounds good! Let’s go~ To driving practice!” Seeing Mila was cheering him up already.In the past, he would have been stuttering and stammering around her.If you wanted to see the world, it was good to have friends in high places.It really broadened one’s outlook.They practiced the whole afternoon, and the next day, they each went to take their respective tests.Things went smoothly for Gerald both in the theory and practical sections.In just a couple of days, his driving license had been acquired.As he had made an agreement with Mila, they met up at the gates and went for lunch together.Sin
After years of bitter rivalry, even the smallest conflict could lead to explosive consequences.Mila was on the verge of losing it… but there was nothing she could say.“Mila!”Gerald had been watching from a distance for a while now. Now that Mila was losing, it was time to join the fray.“Ah! Gerald!” Mila leaped in shock when she saw him.He wasn’t supposed to catch her like this with her weakness in full view!“Whoa, Mila, who’s this?” Irene looked him up and down. Seeing his plain clothes, a smile bloomed across her face. All her own friends were people of note. Mila, on the other hand, was keeping this kind of company…And the casual way he called out to her… Did that mean that something was going on between them?“This is my friend, Gerald. What about it?” Mila announced without reservation.“Oho, and here I was thinking that this might be your brother-in-law, Irene!” Kenneth was holding out his hand to show off his watch, a golden Rolex, by way of challenging Gerald to a cockfi
“What did you say? Wealthy heir, are you?! Hahaha!” Irene was thoroughly enjoying herself now.Mila had always been untouchable, beyond anyone’s reach… to think that she would have picked such an oddball as her boyfriend!What a moron.Kenneth was sneering as well. “In that case, Gerald, if I may be so bold, what sort of work do you do? Which field is your family involved in?” As he said this, he brandished his wristwatch again, as though worried people might fail to notice his Rolex.Gerald regarded the two of them coldly. “You don’t deserve to hear about my family business.”“Bwahahahahaha!” Clutching their bellies, they burst into laughter.Mila tugged gently on his shirt, pleading for him to stop talking.She had said all of that just now because she had been in a panic. She hadn’t expected Gerald to take the ball and run with it.Mila was well aware that Gerald came from modest means and was always getting bullied too. It was just that he had won a lottery later on.Still, lottery
