Chapter 211
Gerald had an idea on how to spend those two million dollars. A few days ago when he was talking to Queta, he realized that she only had one picture on her social media profile.
The background was a mountain, and the mountain was covered with trees. It was a very pretty scenery picture.
At that time, Queta had told Gerald a story about that place. After she was adopted away from the orphanage, she had followed her foster parents to live down the hills. After her parents were killed in a car accident, she had left that place.
When Gerald remembered this story, he thought of investing in that mountain and building another entertainment facility over there.
Gerald immediately called Queta. She was shocked at first when she heard about the news, but she confirmed that the scenery up there was truly astounding, especially at the top of the hill. Gerald was really excited to have a look and requested for Queta to bring the both of them there tomorrow to have a look.
After that, Gerald called Zack to prepare a proposal and contract for that investment as soon as possible.
This was the first-ever meaningful project that Gerald was really concerned about ever since he had found out that he was a billionaire.
Gerald was really determined after everything was settled. He could not fall asleep that night, and he went to the hot spring.
After the event had ended, the whole Wayfair Mountain was quiet again. Even the hot spring was empty. He changed into his swimwear and jumped into the hot spring.
The moment he jumped into the hot spring, there was a pretty girl in a bikini standing up from the water. She brushed her hair and there were a few other people walking toward the entrance.
There was a lady bringing three or four other bodyguards.
“What the hell are you guys doing? The company paid you guys to protect Ms. Elizabeth and now you guys are leaving her alone at the hot spring?”
“Don’t you know those reporters might sneak pictures of Ms. Elizabeth and create rumors?”
“Yes, Madam Red. It is indeed our fault, but the reporters won’t be brave enough to come here and sneak pictures right?”
“Don’t be stupid! We have to do our best to take care of Elizabeth’s image. She has another movie coming up, and if there are any problems with it, I’ll kill all of you!” Madam Red scolded the bodyguards.
Elizabeth had just finished her bath. After the performances at Mayberry had ended, she had been really bored staying in her own room.
She knew about the hot spring for a long time now and had decided to reject the other boss’s offer and went to the hot spring by herself.
“Madam Red, I asked them to leave me here alone since I’m just here for the hot spring. You guys should go outside and wait now. I need to change!” Elizabeth said.
The bodyguards swallowed when they saw her perfect figure but they all went out and waited for her.
Her manager brought her a bathrobe.
“I don’t understand what the company is even thinking! It’s so weird to be followed by a bunch of men every day!”
“Haha. Do you need Mayberry’s owner, Gerald, to follow you around so you won’t feel weird?” Madam Red smiled.
“I honestly thought that I could see Gerald here today! But he didn’t even come! What a waste of my time!”
“Is that why you wore a bikini to the hot spring? Aren’t you afraid of those nasty reporters! You have an image to take care of!” Madam Red said.
“The security here is top-notch. I didn’t just wanna be in a bikini to come here. I almost wanted to come here naked!”
Chapter 212
Elizabeth almost went ahead and untied her bikini.
“Woah! I can’t hold it much longer anymore!”
A voice came out from the waters as Gerald stood up from the water and took a deep breath.
“Ah!” The two women screamed, shocked.
Gerald saw Elizabeth in the water when he dived in it too, but her bikini was so tiny that Gerald thought she was not wearing anything and had not dared to lift his head. Only half of his head was out of the water, and he had been listening to their conversation.
He then found out that she was the actress that was very famous at that time, Elizabeth! She was here for a showcase.
Gerald wanted to wait until they left before coming out of the water, but she was almost going to strip naked and dive into the hot spring. He was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding and so, he stood up.
“What the f*ck! Since when were you in here?!” Elizabeth immediately covered her lower parts since she had almost taken them off, and now, she felt really awkward.
“Oh my goodness! I told you to be careful, Elizabeth. Now look, he must be a pervert who came here to take pictures of you!” Madam Red was anxious.
She used the bathrobe to cover up Elizabeth.
“You! Get out of the water now!” Elizabeth was furious. She even picked up a stone.
“Okay! Okay! I’m coming up!”
Gerald had seen her in movies, but she was really different from the roles she had acted in. What a coincidence it was to have met her at the hot spring. If only he knew she was there, he would not have jumped in like that.
“Ms. Elizabeth, I’m a big fan of yours… ouch!” Before Gerald could explain, he felt blood rushing through his nose!
“You dare to tell me you were not peeking?” Madam Red was furious.

---------------------------------------
“Ah! Madam Red, look at his pants!” Elizabeth pointed at Gerald’s lower part of his body, and both women blushed.
“What the f*ck! I’ve never seen such a pervert in my life! I’m going crazy now! Guards! Guards!” Elizabeth was really furious.
Gerald was dumbfounded and embarrassed!
If only he could control it, he would not want that to happen. However, Elizabeth really did have a great figure, and the bikini was about to fall off. How could he withstand that!
The bodyguards rushed in at this time…
Chapter 213
They knew what had happened just by looking at the actress’s expression. The bodyguards were furious.
“How dare you peek at me! I’ll make you regret what you have seen today! Where is Mr. Zeke? Call Mr. Zeke and dig out the eyes of this pervert!” Elizabeth yelled.
This man did not only react, his nose was even bleeding. How perverted could a person be?!
Elizabeth was not going to let this off easily. However, Madam Red was slightly calmer.
She looked at Gerald—he did not look like a reporter, and he was wearing swimwear. It might really be a coincidence.
She tried to calm Elizabeth down. “Ms. Elizabeth, we shouldn’t make this a big deal yet. Especially when your new movie contract is on the line. If this gets out, it would not be good for you in the industry!”
“What do you think I should do then? This person just sneaked in on me! I can’t just let him off like that!” Elizabeth held on tightly to her bathrobe.
Meanwhile, the guards were outside of the hot spring.
“I think I hear some noise coming from the hot spring. Let’s go and have a look!”
“There shouldn’t be any customers here at this time. Let’s go!”
Madam Red and Elizabeth got anxious. If there were to be found out, this was going to make it to the headlines.
“Forget it, Elizabeth. We’ll let him off this time!”
“Fine. But…” Elizabeth looked at his crotch area and kicked it real hard, but Gerald dodged it. However, Elizabeth kicked too hard and accidentally flashed herself.
“Ah!” Elizabeth was going to go crazy, but Madam Red dragged her out.
The bodyguards warned Gerald, and they all left.
That was an interesting plot.
After Gerald went back to his own room, he could not fall asleep.
He almost wanted to order Zack to bring Elizabeth to him, but he did not want to trouble Zack with this kind of thing.
Gerald held back his urges. He went on his social media and decided to look at Felicity’s pictures to satisfy his urges.
When he logged in to his social media, he saw Cassandra’s messages.
“Hey, Ordinary Boy! I’m super tired today!”
“Are you asleep, Ordinary Boy?”
“Are you asleep? That’s early!”
Gerald really hates Cassandra right now. He even wanted to prank her.
“No, I’m not asleep yet…” Gerald replied. novelbin

“Oh, so you are awake! What are you doing at this hour? Are you thinking of girls? Or are there a lot of girls surrounding you?” Cassandra replied with a shy emoji.
“I am thinking of girls. Thinking about you, in fact. Why don’t you send me a picture of yourself!” Gerald had been seduced by Elizabeth, and at the same time, he really wanted to get revenge on Cassandra.
He would really like to see how the usual Cassandra would react!
Chapter 214
Ding!
Sure enough, Cassandra McGregor’s photo was taken and sent over at the very next moment.
Gerald looked at her photo and he almost went wild. It was too revealing! The picture loomed, and almost all parts of her body were exposed.
“Wanna see more? Ordinary Man, just have a video call with me and I’ll show you everything you wanna see!”
Cassandra sent a mischievous emoji.
D*mn it! What was going on today?
Being a normal straight guy, Gerald wanted to agree to Cassandra’s “offer”.
Right then, there was a knock on his door. It was Zack Lyle who had come to check whether Gerald was asleep.
Gerald heaved a sigh of relief.
“Dear Gerald Crawford, how did you turn out this way? You’re now a player, a pervert, and a d*ck!” Gerald’s heart was filled with self-blame. He felt that he was turning from bad to worse.
Gerald hurriedly dismissed his thoughts and opened the door.
Zack wanted to have a discussion with Gerald regarding Gerald’s development of Demonreach because research showed that this matter could definitely be tried!
Their discussion went on until late at night. After Zack had left, Gerald simply switched off his cell phone and slept without bothering to reply to Cassandra’s message.
Early the next morning, Gerald left Wayfair Mountain Entertainment and returned to college.
He saw a young lady selling flowers outside his college. The roses were really beautiful.
He thought of his girlfriend, Mila Smith, who had recently broken up with him after a fight. It had already been one day since he last looked for her.
Gerald really wanted to look for an opportunity to talk to her and make things clear between them. There was also no class during the first two periods. Rather than waiting at college, Gerald thought of buying a bouquet of flowers for Mila so that he could ask her out to talk things through.
Gerald went ahead with his thought.
After buying a bouquet of flowers, he hurried straight to the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting.
“What the heck! Who’s this guy? Why is he here so early in the morning to confess his love?”
“Look at him! He doesn’t dress well at all but still has the guts to come over to our Department of Broadcasting and Hosting to confess his love, hahaha!” novelbin
“I know him! I think he’s that penniless d*ckhead from the Department of Literature, his name is Gerald Crawford. In the past, people on Reddit used to take pictures of his penniless-looking face, I’ve seen it before!”
“Oh my goodness, I know that penniless guy Gerald Crawford! Didn’t he say that he gave his ex- girlfriend that something? At that time, it was very popular in our college’s Sub-Reddit!”
“Yes, it’s him, he’s disgusting!”
The Department of Broadcasting and Hosting was a different world. As soon as Gerald entered, other than a few handsome guys, the rest of them were beautiful girls with various styles and real classiness.
After Gerald went in with the flowers, many girls came out to take a curious look to find out which handsome guy was visiting their department today to confess his love. It was not uncommon for pretty girls from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting to receive love confessions.
However, all the girls were disappointed when they saw Gerald.
“Lol. Brother, can you first update your status before confessing your love here?”
“I agree! He should not confess in this virtue. If his love confession is successful, I will jump off the building and die!”
Two handsome guys dressed in small suits and with flowers in their hands were mocking Gerald despicably.
Gerald smiled bitterly. He did not expect the environment of the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting to be like this. If he had known this earlier, he would not have bought those flowers.
Perhaps he should not have followed Naomi Milton’s advice on using tactics when being in a relationship with a girl such as buying her flowers and bags or bringing her out for food instead of being a straightforward guy. However, Gerald thought that heeding her advice would be kickass!
In the end, Gerald bought a bouquet of flowers and got himself into the spotlight of many, ugh…
Just as Gerald was in dilemma of whether to leave, suddenly…
“Gerald Crawford? What are you doing here?” A few girls’ voices came from behind.
These voices sounded quite familiar to Gerald. He turned back and got a shock.
The girls were Alice Bradford, Hayley Ians, and Jacelyn Leigh from the same dorm unit. It was obvious that they had come for classes.
“Gerald, we’re talking to you!” Hayley said with a frown when she received no reply from Gerald.
Chapter 215
“Say something!”
Thanks to Harper, Hayley now treated Gerald as a family, and their relationship was good.
Gerald was a little surprised at Alice’s question.
“Erm… I just wanted to give something to somebody!” Gerald stammered.
When he raised his head, his gaze met Alice’s. She was the goddess of the crowd.
At this moment, Alice was already blushing while casting glances at Gerald and the flowers held by him. The tips of two of her fingers were touching each other non-stop.
Many girls from the girls’ dormitory went to their department. Gerald’s emergence had made Alice, Jacelyn, and the rest of the girls in their gang particularly surprised.
Their impression of Gerald was that he was honest regardless of his financial status. They never thought that Gerald would come over to their department today.
Moreover, the current Gerald was no longer who he used to be. In the past, in order to defend Jacelyn and Alice, a rich young man from Mayberry had been beaten up by Jacelyn’s ex-boyfriend Danny Xanders and his cousin Luke Evans.
From then on, there was an act of wild revenge that had also affected Alice Bradford’s family.
Gerald had brought Mr. Harrison forward to settle this matter at a hotel.novelbin
Since then, Alice and Jacelyn speculated that Gerald Crawford must be an extraordinary person or even that rich young man from Mayberry himself. However, they also doubted the latter as they felt that Gerald did not have that vibe. They were only confident that Gerald was not just any other ordinary guy, he was quite rich.
These thoughts gave Jacelyn feelings of regret, and Alice, feelings of intense regret and thankfulness. They had always longed for an opportunity to make peace with Gerald, leave the past behind, and start over.
Alice was really surprised at her encounter with Gerald early in the morning at the department she was studying in. He was the person she wanted to look for but was unable to get hold of ever since that incident.
“Gerald, to whom are you giving something?” Alice lowered her head and asked him softly after tidying up her hair. She was as meek as a little sheep.
Could it be that… Gerald had changed his mind? After all, Naomi, Hayley, and Harper wanted to ship Gerald and Alice together, so it was obvious that Alice and Gerald did have feelings for each other.
Furthermore, Alice was confident that Gerald definitely liked her from the start. She also had never heard of Gerald being in close contact with anybody else from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting.
Alice’s heart was pounding.
“Haha, who else? Alice, how would Gerald be able to answer your question?” Hayley interrupted as she clapped her hands happily.
Hayley also looked at Gerald with admiration while saying, “Gerald, I really can’t tell that you would do this. After you became wealthier, your emotional intelligence also became so much higher to the extent where you know how to create surprises, and this is a very big surprise indeed, haha!”
Gerald agreed that today was indeed quite surprising. He also found it quite difficult to answer this question.
‘D*mn it!’ Gerald thought in his head. He had simply bought a bouquet of roses for Mila to ask her out for a walk. It was just as simple as that. Who would have known that the girls in her department would flock and gather together just to see a student visiting from another department?! And now, he had even bumped into Alice!
Also, he was obviously being misunderstood by Hayley and Alice. Gerald was about to explode. Worst still, there were many boys and girls, all of which had gathered around the stairs, surrounding Gerald and Alice and putting both of them in the spotlight. Some of the students were even using their cell phones to record them.
“Oh my, oh my, oh my! This is breaking news! Look, a penniless d*ckhead from the Department of Literature is actually confessing his love to goddess Alice Bradford from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting!” Some of the girls uttered in disbelief.
Oh my goodness, who would fall for this kind of person? He was quite shameless!
“D*mn, he actually confessed to goddess Alice Bradford? That’s aggressive!” Two boys mocked Gerald in disbelief.
At the same time, there was a voice from the other side. “Mila, hurry, come over here! Another person is here to confess their love!”
