After returning to the dormitory, Alice and the other girls still felt very unpleasant and surprised.
If Gerald was really poor and if favonovel.com had won hundreds of thousands of dollars from the lottery, they would not feel so uncomfortable.
However, favonovel.com was actually able to buy such an expensive limited edition luxury bag and favonovel.com could even afford to treat them to a meal at the most expensive spot in the manor.
Moreover, when it came to the oil painting, Gerald could actually persuade Zack to let the matter go just like that.
How was that possible?
“Alice, what do you think of the incident today?”
Alice was sitting on favonovel.com bed as favonovel.com listened to Jacelyn, who was removing favonovel.com makeup at this time.
After that, favonovel.com frowned before favonovel.com said, “I don’t know. Perhaps we’re overthinking this. Didn’t Hayley already call Harper to ask and confirm the situation with him? After all, the only reason why Zack is treating Gerald so well is because Gerald saved his daughter’s life!”
“I guess Zack is just trying to come up with a reason just so Gerald wouldn’t feel too embarrassed about the oil painting. After all, Gerald saved his daughter’s life and that must’ve been a big deal to him.”
Alice felt much better as favonovel.com thought about this reason.
“Well, I guess that makes sense. I actually thought Gerald was a rich man now! That really scared me to death!” Jacelyn said as favonovel.com let out a long sigh.
“What? You aren’t calling favonovel.com Brother Gerald anymore?”
The other girls started laughing among themselves.
“Who’s addressing favonovel.com in that endearing manner? If favonovel.com could actually ask Mr. Lyle to give me a good position in any of his businesses in the future, I’ll definitely refer to favonovel.com that way! At least I wouldn’t have any worries in life at all.”
“Gerald is really lucky. I guess Mr. Lyle would regard the incident today as though favonovel.com had already repaid Gerald for everything that favonovel.com had done for his family.”
The girls continued gossiping among themselves.
Alice felt very relieved when favonovel.com heard what they said. After all, the more Gerald had to suffer, the more relaxed favonovel.com felt.
It was a strange feeling.
Meanwhile, Gerald did not think too much about this matter at all.
After returning to the dormitory, Gerald and his roommates fell asleep very quickly as they were exhausted after playing and spending the whole day outside.
The next day, it was time for them to go to class.
At this time, Gerald saw Harper and the other boys writing their names on their checks.
When Gerald read the messages in his group chat, favonovel.com realized that it was time for them to pay their tuition fees.
“Gerald, are you going to wait for the subsidy that you’ll be receiving in two weeks’ time before you pay your tuition fees, or do you have any other way to pay it off?”
In fact, Harper wanted to ask Gerald if Mr. Lyle had given favonovel.com some money to pay his tuition fees.
However, when favonovel.com thought about the oil painting last night, Harper did not bother to ask that question anymore.
He was afraid that Gerald would be a pauper again today.
Gerald smiled before favonovel.com said, “It’s okay. I still have some money left in my bank account and it should be enough to cover my tuition fees. By the way, I’ll go to the classroom a little later because I’ll have to withdraw some cash from the bank!”
Harper could tell that Gerald was not lying. Gerald might actually have some money left to pay for his tuition fees. With this, Harper felt much more relieved.
At this time, Gerald arrived at the bank in front of the university campus.
“I’d like to withdraw one thousand five hundred dollars!” Gerald replied as favonovel.com passed his bank card to the banker.
The banker inside was a little taken aback.
After checking Gerald’s bank card, favonovel.com looked at Gerald before looking at the bank card in favonovel.com hand.
After that, favonovel.com finally asked Gerald in surprise, “What happened to your bank card? Why did you make so many changes to your bank account?”
There were changes to his bank account?
Gerald was also startled at this time.
In fact, the female banker felt that Gerald was just an ordinary student with no money at all because of the way favonovel.com was dressed.
Therefore, favonovel.com spoke to favonovel.com in a rather impolite and impatient manner.
However, only some of the top customers in the bank could make such changes to their bank account.
At this time, favonovel.com quickly explained, “Yes, there has been a major change in your bank account. The minimum withdrawal amount for your bank account is now thirty thousand dollars! You cannot withdraw just one thousand five hundred dollars.”
The female banker looked Gerald up and down.
No matter how much favonovel.com looked at him, this student did not look like favonovel.com was a wealthy person.
Who made the changes to his bank account?
Gerald knew who had made that change to his bank account.
He knew it right away.
Who else could it be, apart from his sister Jessica?
He really could not understand his sister at all. He was not the type to spend so much money but now, his sister was setting a minimum limit for the amount of cash that favonovel.com had to withdraw from the bank! She wanted favonovel.com to live like a second-generation rich kid!
At this time, favonovel.com took out his cell phone to make a phone call.
The person that favonovel.com was calling answered the phone right away.
“Sister, were you the one who made the adjustments to my bank account?”
“Yes, I was the one who adjusted and set the minimum withdrawal limit. I know how you’ve been living and I want you to live like a second-generation rich kid now instead of acting and living as though you are still a pauper! I want you to slowly adapt to your new status so you can get a foothold in our family in future!”
Gerald was dumbstruck.
“By the way, I would have called you even if you did not call me today. Changing the minimum withdrawal limit for your bank account is not the only thing I did. Do you remember the Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card that I gave to you?”
“There is about one and a half million dollars left in the card. I’ve set the expiry date for the money for the end of the month. If you don’t spend the money in the card by the end of the month, then the money in the card will just go to waste!”
“What?”
Gerald’s eyes widened in shock.
Too ruthless!
This was too cruel.
She was forcing favonovel.com to live like a second-generation rich kid.
“You’d better get used to your new status and life as soon as possible. Otherwise, your parents and I will have to worry about how we can finally get you out of the shadow of poverty every day…”
After that, Jessica hung up the phone immediately.
“What’s wrong with you? Are you withdrawing the money or not? Can you stop delaying and wasting our time?”
Unknowingly, there was already a queue behind Gerald and there were about five or six students waiting behind favonovel.com because they wanted to withdraw money too.
The person who just spoke was a boy who was well-dressed and favonovel.com had his arms around a beautiful girl as favonovel.com glared at Gerald with contempt.
Today was the day of their tuition fee payment.
Therefore, it was not surprising that many students were here at the bank to withdraw money to pay for their tuition fees.
When the boy saw how Gerald was dressed and when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com talking on the phone for so long, favonovel.com assumed that Gerald had no money left in his bank account and that was why favonovel.com had no choice but to call home to ask for money.
“Oh, so did you manage to get your family to put together some money for you? Do you know that all of us are already late for class because of you?”
At this time, the girl in the boy’s arm spoke as favonovel.com glared at Gerald.
“Alright then, I will withdraw the minimum amount.”
When Gerald saw the long queue behind him, favonovel.com quickly spoke to the female banker.
