Chapter 206
Even if she were to be a sugar mummy, she would not have a sugar baby like Gerald, but this woman had admitted that Gerald was her boyfriend!
Whitney then did not respect him any further. She stared at him very proudly as if she was mocking him for being a sugar baby!
After hearing what they had said, Jane’s parents’ face turned awful. They really believed that Gerald was a sugar baby.
Jane’s mother pointed at Gerald and said, “Jane, give me an explanation now. What is going in with this Gerald? Is he really a sugar baby?”
“No, mom! I can explain!” Jane was getting frustrated.
It was just a simple matter of rejecting a marriage, but things had turned the wrong way.
“I’m not listening to your explanation. Just tell me if he is or is he not?” Jane’s mother asked angrily.
Whitney crossed her arms and walked beside Christian. She smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Christian. Do you remember the poor dude I told you about who was in the same course as me? The guy that was dumped by his ex-girlfriend who then moved on to a rich guy!”
“After that, he won a lottery and then became really proud. Do you still remember that poor peasant? That’s him!”
Whitney thought to herself that since she had turned to her dark side, she might as well just go on ahead and crush Gerald. She only wanted to be friends with Gerald because she thought he was quite rich. Especially when Gerald bought her a shirt that was worth a few thousand dollars because she had helped him. She was actually quite touched by him, but now, she realized he was just a playboy with no money!
Whitney publicly humiliated him just to prove to Jane that he used to be a poor and lowly peasant!
When Christian realized that he was just a poor guy, he did not have any pressure at all.
“Answer me, Jane! Is he the kind of person like what Whitney said? Is he really a poor peasant?” Jane’s mother was trying to force an answer out of Jane. The whole situation was so embarrassing!
“I…” Jane did not know what to say anymore.
“Yes, I am from a poor family, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have any dignity left in me. All I wanted was just to earn some pocket money and study so that I could be a better person. Is that wrong?” Gerald was hurt by what Whitney had said.
He started talking about his previous lifestyle. “Why do all of you have to be so judgmental? So what if I’m broke? I didn’t do anything bad to all of you, so why should I be bullied?” Gerald stared at Whitney and yelled at her.
All these years, Whitney had been harassing him, and it was no less than Yuri.
Once, when he and Xavia were walking outside the classroom, she saw them and started criticizing him publicly. “Wow, even a poor b*stard like Gerald has a girlfriend! What big news!”
“Anyways, please go and clean up the study hall. You don’t have to eat with your girlfriend since you won’t have enough money to eat if you don’t work either way!”
“What do you mean you’re not going? I’ll stop your bursary and let you f*ck off!” Whitney said as she slapped him.
All of these were things that happened in the first and second year of university. Whitney had always insulted him in front of Xavia, and because of that, Xavia had even argued with her.
All of these were stuck with Gerald for years, and he had been keeping them in his heart.
Things had gotten better when they went to year three only because Whitney was sick of insulting him already.
“So you really are a poor b*stard. Leave now and don’t ever bother my daughter again!” Jane’s mother was furious. She picked up a glass of hot tea and splashed it toward Gerald’s face.
Chapter 207
“Mom! Stop!” Jane almost fainted when she saw the glass splashing over. Unfortunately, she could not stop her.
Gerald could not dodge in time, but luckily, it only hit his body. Gerald was immediately covered with tea leaves and tea.
“You don’t deserve my daughter! Now f*ck off as far as possible!” Jane’s mother threw the glass on the ground.
She was also trying to tell Jenkins that the Zara family was absolutely sincere and she did not care about the life and death of that poor b*stard, Gerald.
“Look here, Gerald! Let me take a video of you so that the entire department would know how disgusting you are!” Whitney was laughing really loudly while the Jenkins were all smiling.
Gerald would have never thought that Jane’s mother would treat him like that. How ignorant could she be to treat someone like that publicly?
Gerald picked out the tea leaves on his shirt and glanced at the entire room of people. Especially Whitney.
“Whitney, what if one day you realized that I’m not the poor bstard you think I was and realized that I’m fcking rich? What would you do?”
“And all of you that hate on the poor. You guys are really ignorant, do you know that? What is it that all of you are so proud of? If only you all knew that you guys are the poor b*stards in my eyes, what would
all of you do?”
Jane thought that Gerald must be furious, but his voice was surprisingly calm.
“Hahaha!”
“Gerald, are you nuts? You must be crazy about being rich, huh? Stop fooling around, sucker! I’m going to record all of this and show everyone how embarrassing you are!” Whitney mocked him.
“Jane, so this is the kind of boyfriend you have eh? Why should we even treat him like a person? Look at him, does he look like a person? This kind of poor b*stard would only end up dying on the street!”
“That’s right! Look at what he’s wearing. Jane, it’s okay if you’re still young and you don’t understand much. How about you let Christian and Whitney bring you to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment and relax? I heard they were doing some events, and Uncle Jenkins over here has three tickets. Since you used to work at the villa, you could bring Christian for a walk!” Christian’s mother immediately came out and spoke as if she was very used to situations like these.
“I…”
“Go ahead. Don’t worry about me!” Gerald said calmly.
Jane wanted to shake her head, but after listening to Gerald’s tone, she did not dare to refuse the offer.
Gerald finally understood that it was impossible for him to lead an ordinary life. There would always be people trying to find fault or make fun of him! Gerald was not going to tolerate them anymore this time.
While he was trying to get a tissue out of his pocket, his Lamborghini car key fell out. He did not do it on purpose!
When he wanted to pick up the car key, Whitney bent down and picked it up first.
“You have a car? That’s weird!” She looked at the car key carefully and laughed.
“Wow! It’s a Lamborghini car key! Gerald, you drive a Lamborghini?”
“It must be fake! Lamborghini doesn’t have a car key that looks like that.” Christian was shocked at first, but after he looked closely he smiled.
That car key was different from the others just like it’s controls were different. The only thing that was similar was the Lamborghini logo, and not many people had seen that car key before.
Chapter 208
He did not blame their reaction.
“Hahaha! Gerald, I didn’t know you were this kind of person. Why can’t you get a toy that looks more legit than this one?”
“I really don’t want to talk about this person anymore. Christian, let’s go. We’ll go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment in your Maserati! Let’s go, Jane!”
“From today onward, you will be the most disgusting person in our department, Gerald! Could you please do me a favor and get lost now!” Whitney threw the Lamborghini car key on the ground.
Jane did not dare to go against Gerald’s will, and she went with them.
“Mr. Zara, would you like to take a look at Christian’s new car?” Christian’s father asked. novelbin
“Sure! Let’s go and have a look! While you, please get out of here!” Jane’s mother walked beside Gerald and pushed him.
Gerald took a deep breath and picked up his car key. He followed them out.
They were surrounding a Lamborghini Raventon and discussing the car.
“This is the car I was talking about, Christian. There’s a super-rich guy in our school, and he must be eating at this restaurant!” Whitney was excited when she saw the car.
She had always wanted to make friends with this extremely rich guy.
“Christian, do you recognize this car?”
Christian’s father and Jane’s parents just arrived and they were all shocked.
They did not notice the car when they arrived! They knew that it was truly a luxurious car.
“It’s a Lamborghini, but I’m not sure which model it is. Quite sure that it’s more expensive than the Lamborghini Poison! Super luxurious!”
“Oh my goodness!”
The Jenkins and Zaras were all amused.
“This is a Reventon. It belongs to one of the richest guys in our school!” Whitney said.
Gerald walked past them as they were talking.
“What are you doing, Gerald?”
“This poor b*stard hasn’t left yet?” Christian scoffed.
“What is he even doing here?” Jane’s mother said.
“This poor b*stard is just here to pick up his car. See you guys next time!” Gerald smiled as he pressed his car key and opened the car door.
The headlights blinked and the car roof opened.
Gerald got into the car and everyone was dumbstruck.
“Wait, what?” Whitney shouted.
Gerald was the owner of this car?! The car key was not fake and this car belonged to him?! The extremely rich guy from her department was Gerald even though he was the most ordinary person?!
“What’s going on, Gerald? This car is yours? It’s truly yours?” Whitney was in disbelief. Her heart felt like it had just exploded. She could not believe that he was the same poor b*stard in her eyes! What was happening?!
Chapter 209
Even Jane’s parents were shocked.
They were even asking him to leave their own daughter alone. No wonder he had said that they were the poor b*stards in his eyes!
How was that even possible!
Gerald pressed the horn as he drove out of the basement carpark.
When he passed by Whitney, she really did wish that Gerald would notice her. Even if it meant scolding her or giving her a slap. However, Gerald did not. He merely ignored her and left.
As for Jane, he had helped her enough.
He stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the basement carpark.
Gerald knew that this would hurt even harder than simply just showing off. He did not even bother about their expressions.
“Who is he?” Christian swallowed.
Whitney was confused and helpless. She didn’t even know the answer to that question. Whitney really did think of apologizing to him after what she had done to him after finding out that he was really rich. He had looked so attractive when he got into the car!
She even thought of taking pictures of Gerald and his car to let the entire school know. Just like how she would usually show off.
Whitney calmed herself down. If the whole school knew about Gerald’s true identity, she would never stand a chance anymore, and everyone would start teasing her if the school learned about his identity.
There was a voice telling Whitney to try her best at winning Gerald’s heart. ‘Most love stories always start with the main characters hating each other!’ She told herself
Meanwhile, after everyone had found out Gerald’s identity, they all looked toward Jane.
Jane shook her head and said, “Don’t even think about asking me! I don’t know anything!” Going back to Gerald.
It was already seven o’clock in the evening. After Gerald texted Queta to make sure that Yasmin was okay, he then went back to the hostel.
His phone rang again. It was Zack.
“Mr. Crawford, where are you? I must be troubling you by calling you at this time!”
“I was just about to go back to school. What’s the matter, Zack?”
“As you know, I’ve resigned from the position of Mayberry Commercial Street’s CEO and Ms. Crawford has brought in a new CEO, Michael Zeke. He’s an old friend of mine and he’s flying in tonight.”
“Yes, my sister has mentioned it before.”
“What I’m saying is, he would like to pay you a visit!”
What a determined person. The first thing for him to do after arriving was to visit Gerald. Indeed, everyone who worked for Jessica was all very serious about their work.
“Where would he like to visit me? How about you make some arrangements for that and I’ll be going back to the villa tonight. We can meet at the villa!”
“Alright, Mr. Crawford!”
Gerald immediately drove back to the villa after he had hung up.
He did not know much about this person named Michael, but since he was going to pay a visit, Gerald had to be there. His sister, Jessica, could manage everything. He just had to be there.
Soon enough, when Gerald had reached the villa, the event that was going on at the Wayfair Mountain was to welcome the new CEO, Michael.
It was late at night, but the night at Wayfair Mountain was still young.
Chapter 210
There were many rich people walking around. Gerald reached the main entrance and watched from the outside.
He went to the backdoor and went in from there. When he reached his own meeting room, Zack was standing there with another middle-aged man. novelbin
There were only two of them, so the other one must be Michael Zeke. He looked really mature and reliable, but through his eyes, Gerald could tell that he would be an aggressive person.
“Mr. Crawford!” Zack shouted.
“Michael Zeke. Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford!” Michael bowed.
“Nice to meet you, Director Zeke. Please be at ease. We’ll talk more inside!” Gerald smiled politely.
Michael simply introduced himself and then talked about the future plans he had for Mayberry International Inc.
His ideas were very creative and strong. It was very different from how Zack would do things. Michael was a very straightforward and aggressive person when it came to work.
“Anyway, I’ve heard from Zack that you have recently bought a bungalow at the hilltop. Have you done any renovations yet?”
Gerald nodded his head.
“Um, before I came out to work, I used to study interior design overseas. You can have a look at this blueprint, and maybe if you’re interested, I could be in charge of the project!” Michael smiled.
Bang!
Zack had had enough. He hit the table to express his anger.
“Director Zeke, I think you’re not very familiar with the situation here. You should get to know things around here first. In fact, I’m already in charge of the renovation of Mr. Crawford’s new bungalow, and the project can be finished within ten days. You don’t have to be worried about it!”
‘D*mn it! I was good enough to bring him to visit Mr. Crawford, yet now, he’s trying to steal my job! This is too outrageous!’ Zack thought to himself.
“Ten days? I could do it within five days with top-notch renovations. I would definitely not delay Mr. Crawford from moving in!” Michael talked back.
“Five days is impossible, Director Zeke.” Gerald smiled.
“I’ll give the orders myself. If I can’t finish the project within five days, I’ll gladly resign my position with the headquarters!”
Gerald felt embarrassed. It was just renovations, it would be fine no matter who did the project.
After what Michael had said, Zack was dumbfounded. He would not dare to give orders like that.
Zack did not know why he was so unhappy when in truth, he was way closer to Gerald than Michael.
The renovations of the bungalow were then passed to Michael to handle.
After the meeting was over, Michael went out to meet the guests while Gerald went back to his own bedroom to rest.
“You’re still the same old you, Michael. Very aggressive and I like that, but I must remind you, you must be careful working at Mayberry. Especially when working with Mr. Crawford, as you know his identity is still not known to the public!”
“I understand. Most of my men don’t know about his identity. Even my wife doesn’t know about it. I almost got you fired the last time I accidentally exposed his identity. I will not repeat the same mistake!” Michael smiled.
Zack took a deep breath. That was probably his biggest mistake of all time when he had almost gotten Gerald into trouble because of Nigel Fisher.
Gerald went back to his bedroom, but he did not go to sleep immediately. Just as he was thinking about something, his sister called.
“Dude, there are two days left, what the hell are you doing? Have you finished what I asked you to do? There are two more millions left. Are you trying to get me killed?” His sister yelled at him. He then realized that he only spent eight million on the bungalow.
“Oh no, what can I do? How do I spend those two million?”
Gerald was up the entire night thinking of how to spend the money, and finally, he had an idea…
