Gerald was surprised. He stopped to see what they were up to.“You! Show me your admission ticket right now!”Ted Lopez’s anger was overwhelming.To be honest, Gerald looked nothing like a rich young man.He doubted earlier that this could’ve been a mistake, but after taking a look at Gerald’s clothing.This definitely was not a mistake!Ted hated him to the bone.“Didn’t you check my admission ticket earlier!” Gerald pointed at the female receptionist.“If I didn’t check, how would I know that a loser just sneaked in!”“Mr Zimmerman, this is the person, I think he picked up your admission ticket!” Hadley shouted at him, rudely.After saying that, she approached Gerald and snatched away the admission ticket from his hands.“Geez, the world is really big and there are all kinds of people, and people like you really think you can just join tonight’s cruise party!”A few girls covered their mouths as they snickered, their eyes were filled with contempt.Only then did Gerald u

“Is he your boyfriend, Elena?”Upon entering the house, a group of young men and women of about the same age approached them before the adults even spoke a word.Each one of them sized up Gerald.It wasn’t long before these people revealed their mind.‘Wow, Elena is so beautiful, and yet she has such horrible taste? It’s obvious that her boyfriend is far from it!’“Elena, we were going to ask you to join us at the cruise party together, but you always say you have something to do. Hmmm, so you brought your boyfriend with you!” said one of the girls.“Yeah, but what a coincidence... we can go together!” Elena smiled and held Gerald’s hand, never letting it go once.None of her cousins greeted Gerald at all.Elena knew that they looked down on him too.However, she didn’t dare reveal Gerald’s identity without his consent. Seeing that Gerald seemed alright, she was relieved.But Gerald was far from happy, numbed from attending such occasions too often. He simply chose to remain

“So you’re saying you’re also from Sunnydale University? I’ve never seen you around, though!” Dickson was smiling the whole time. “No. I’m from Mayberry University.” Gerald knew how to stay calm no matter what kind of vibes the other people were giving him. “Mayberry University is fine. Anyways, what does your family do? How did you make Elena fall for you?” Dickson asked. “Well, Dickson, allow me to tell you. He came from a small village, and his family runs a tiny grocery store! How do you still not understand by the way he dresses?” Amber answered. The highest state of ignorance was pretending someone didn’t exist even when he was just right in front of you. Although it was hurtful, nobody would actually point it out. However, Amber had been doing that to Gerald all along, and it showed how much she despised him. “Oh, it must have been tough studying in Mayberry coming from a small village. Do let me know if you’re in any kind of trouble. My father knows the dean, and I ca

A few rich young men waved at Dickson when they arrived. They all seemed to know each other. “Wow, so many friends are here. Come, Elena. Let me introduce them to you!” Dickson said.The youths in question were playing around while eating and drinking, all having a blast. Gerald was exhausted, not in the mood to meet new people anymore. He really needed a place to rest, then find out where Aiden and the others went. “You guys have fun. I’ll be heading to the washroom. You guys don’t have to look for me!” Gerald told them and left by himself. “Is he really just heading to the washroom, or he is embarrassed to let anyone know that he’s from a poor family?” “I know, right! Doesn’t he know what social setting this is? And he’s probably regretting now!” Everyone was talking about him.Elena wanted to follow Gerald, but she knew she had troubled him way too much today. She didn’t want to bother him anymore. “Who was that person? He just went off without saying anything?” O

The girls pinned him against the sandy beach. “Don’t you dare offend me, you perverted peasant! You’re finished when Yoel gets here!” Crystal scoffed. A girl handed Crystal a bathrobe to cover up. “Guys! There's some big news. A group of girls is ganging up on a guy over there!” “Huh? What happened?” “A pervert guy apparently staring at the bikini girls playing volleyball. They were unhappy that he was staring, and they fought!” “Let’s go check it out!” People were coming over to the other side of the beach after hearing what happened. Dickson, Amber, and Elena heard about it amid the barbeque and immediately went over.“Elena and Amber, let’s go and have a look. I would really like to see which brother has fallen.” Elena did not want to follow them at first, but she wanted to leave anyway, to check if Gerald had gone back to the hotel. She nodded and followed them. When they reached the other end of the beach, a few girls were sitting on a guy, pinning him down as
