Chapter 95
“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
Chapter 96
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
Chapter 98
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

“Oho, you must be Kenneth’s girlfriend, Irene! My car is right over there, haha! Look all you want, it’s nothing special. Half a million, barely worth anything! After you’ve finished your inspection, let’s all go grab a bite to eat!” Saying this, Sean led them off jovially.“Hey, hey! Mila, don’t you want to see it too? Oh, that’s right… best not to, perhaps. Even if you saw it, it’s not like your boyfriend could afford one for himself. Not like Kenneth, who has a Ferrari. Also, also, Mila… Do you need some spending money? I hope you understand. If it were not for Sean offering to treat us to a meal, I’d ask Kenneth to give you guys a lift. However, since we’ll be leaving with Sean in a bit, if you need some cash for a taxi, all you need to do is ask!” Irene hugged herself and giggled.She absolutely had to capitalize on every advantage.Coming from anyone else, Mila wouldn’t be troubled. But this girl, whom she had always beaten at everything over all these years, to finally be lordin
Chapter 101
“Mr. Crawford, here to accompany your girlfriend for her driving test, are you?”That day, Sean had already discovered the truth about Gerald.Just imagine... Two and a half million dollars, all without breaking a sweat.That was true wealth.Sean had also heard other rumors. Although they were not directly related to the mysterious Mr. Crawford, he now knew that the manager of the Lamborghini dealership was someone of note within the Mayberry group.Even he had shown so much deference toward Gerald. It was clear that he was not your ordinary guy!“No, no… we’re both taking the test!” Although both these people had been rude to him before, seeing this well-mannered reception now, he responded with courtesy in kind.Irene and Kenneth were utterly confounded by all of this.This was Sean they were talking about?! Why was he showing such reverence for a penniless wretch like Gerald?!How could they not be surprised by this?“In that case, how about this, sir? I just so happen to be headed
Chapter 102
These words made Gerald feel very happy inside.“But Gerald, I feel that you are hiding something from me. That Sean does not look like an ordinary person at a single glance. Why is he so respectful to you? No, he is not only respectful but it seems as though he is flattering you.”Mila could not take it anymore. She felt that Gerald was becoming even more and more confusing.In fact, this was exactly the reason why Gerald eventually became friends with Sean.During their entire conversation, as long as Sean did not mention it, Gerald would never say that he bought the Reventon.It made Gerald feel that he knew how to act accordingly. Gerald learned about this.At this time, Gerald simply smiled before he said, “Didn’t I say this in person? I am actually a top rich second-generation. However, I really do not want to abandon my current lifestyle and friends. That is why I have always lived a low-key life. Of course, Sean has to be very polite to me!”“Mere puff!” Mila smiled as s
