Gerald smiled as he spoke.Harper was initially very reluctant to accept Gerald’s offer. After all, the clothes were too expensive. He did not want Gerald to spend too much money at this shop today.Harper also assumed that Gerald had probably spent most of the money he had won from the lottery.In the end, when Harper saw the affirmative look on Gerald’s face, he knew that Gerald was not joking at this time.Therefore, he simply nodded in response.In the blink of an eye, Gerald and Harper had already chosen the two most expensive dresses amongst the five pieces of clothing.“Huh, can you even afford to buy it?!” Xavia was not convinced at all.After that, Xavia looked at Yuri before she said, “Brother Yuri, I want to buy one too!”“This pauper can never afford to buy those clothes! He is just being very shameless right now! Xavia, I do not have any more extra money to spend this month!” Yuri suddenly felt very anxious when he saw that he was about to finish spending all the m
At that moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded in the shop.This mid-range gift shop was somewhat similar to a big mall, and this clothing shop was just one of the shops inside.At this time, a young and beautiful girl started walking toward them.The salesgirls quickly bowed as soon as they saw her arriving at the shop.“Oh my God. She is so beautiful!”“She is so beautiful that she looks like an immortal goddess! She is simply too beautiful.”“Is she the owner of this shop? Why is everyone being so polite and respectful toward her?”Many boys at the scene were all staring foolishly at her at this time.Gerald turned around to look at the girl as he raised his brows slightly in surprise. “Elena?”Truthfully, Gerald had a very deep impression of her. This violent and aggressive woman had almost disfigured him during their last meeting. However, in the end, he had punished her by hitting her bottom.Gerald particularly remembered her beautiful legs.Long, fair, and slender.
"Alright then, Mr. Crawford. I will walk you down…"After Elena was done speaking, she grabbed hold of Gerald’s arm gently as both of them walked down the stairs together much to the horror of the crowd of people.“This, this, this…” Xavia was very anxious at this time.What had that woman called him?Mr. Crawford?Moreover, Gerald had even said that his minimum consumption limit was at least thirty thousand dollars! This proved that Gerald still had a lot of money!She was certain about that.Gerald had more than thirty thousand dollars. He definitely had more money than that!Those two dresses alone cost more than fifteen thousand dollars!Xavia suddenly felt that Gerald was truly shrouded in mystery now.It was even more awkward and embarrassing for Yuri to stand here at this time, and he wanted to pull Xavia away.“Sir, we have already wrapped up the two pieces of clothing you wanted earlier. The final bill is five thousand and three hundred dollars. Would you like to pa
Gerald hung up the phone. Instead of going back to the dormitory, he went straight to the driving school.In his hands, he held the new dress he had bought for Mila.The dress was carefully packaged in a luxurious box.Gerald was planning to give it to Mila when he got the chance.It would be easy for him to tackle girls like Xavia and Quinn who always told their friends that they liked receiving gifts.However, when it came to Mila, Gerald did not think it was a good idea to do so.It might even be counterproductive.Either way, Gerald was curious about who Mila wanted to introduce to him.But as Gerald stood in front of the driving school, he got nervous when he saw the scene before him.Mila was right there, sitting on a long bench just outside the driving school, facing away from Gerald.The thing that made Gerald nervous was the man sitting closely beside Mila.Moreover, Mila was holding the man’s arm, and they looked rather intimate.They were chatting happily while leaning again
Gerald withdrew his hand and said, “It’s alright!”To be honest, although Gerald was a little annoyed when he had been belittled by Kyle Smith, there was nothing he could do about it.Why?Because Gerald felt as though the whole world had stopped when he mistook him as Mila’s boyfriend.And when he knew that he wasn’t, the whirlwind of emotions had made him unable to get angry with him anymore.“Oh right, Gerald!”Mila’s beautiful sparkling eyes looked at Gerald with concern. “You looked pale just now. What’s wrong?”Although Mila had been busy introducing her cousin to Gerald, she was still observant enough to sense the changes in his mood.“Nothing, really. It’s just that I thought he was your boyfriend!” Gerald replied with a wry smile.“Pfft! What?! You thought my cousin was my boyfriend? Haha!” Mila laughed out loud.“How is that even possible! Actually, I have never gotten into any romantic relationships. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.”Mila sa
“We’re visiting her later. Tag along if you like.” Whitney hung up the call right after.Gerald was only starting to reveal his financial capacity. Until now, Whitney had no idea how much he had in his hand.For this very reason, she was less domineering toward Gerald now when talking to him.However, she still looked down upon him even if he had won a two million lottery.He was just a nouveau riche. How could he be compared out-and-out with a second-generation rich like Victor?Gerald decided not to go with them. Besides, Victor had already said that his car was fully occupied.Hence, Whitney just gave Gerald the address, and Gerald took a cab there after buying some fruits and gifts.Gerald had been acquainted with Mila for almost two weeks now, and they seemed to be getting along very well. To him, she was like Naomi, one of the close female friends he had.Not to mention, he had feelings toward her.Therefore, he had to help her out when her family was in trouble.The cab stopped
“Shut up, Kyle!” Mila threw the cushion in her hands at Kyle angrily.“Nonsense! Yes, Gerald won a lottery. But, are you jealous of him?”Hearing Kyle’s mocking words toward Gerald, Mila felt sick. He even said that Gerald had given his ex-girlfriend condoms. That was just too disgusting. He was clearly insulting Gerald, wasn’t he?!Mila had always thought of Gerald as her good friend.“What do you mean, Sister? Are you saying that I’m talking nonsense?”Kyle mocked him further as he laughed. “If you don’t believe in what I said, you can ask Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union, who is also his coursemate. Even Whitney knows about this. He really did run an errand to get his ex-girlfriend some condoms for the mere sake of ten dollars!”Mila frowned, and the way Mila’s parents and her friends looked at him changed totally.“He seemed to be a decent man. I didn’t expect him to be so pathetic for the sake of money!”“Disgusting!”They all murmured, judging him.Gerald to
“Quinton, how did you get to know each other? Look at you. You are carrying so many things! Come and sit here.”Mila’s mother was Helen Smith, and she was the vice president of their company.Hence, she had a wide social network.Although Quinton had been involved in an ugly scandal days ago for his immoral actions, Mrs. Smith was well aware of the potential of his family. Besides, it was acceptable for a young man to misconduct sometimes in his life.More importantly, the Ziegler family had expanded its business in Mayberry Commercial Street. They would rise to power soon.If her company could receive help from the Ziegler family this time, wouldn’t it mean that their crisis would be solved?Upon hearing Mrs. Smith’s questions, Quinton gave Gerald a dirty look and said, “Of course I know him! He is a notorious character in the university!”Thinking of how Gerald was present during his last few embarrassing moments, Quinton’s hatred toward Gerald began to grow.After making those icy r
