“We’re visiting favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had in his hand.
For this very reason, favonovel.com was less domineering toward Gerald now when talking to him.
However, favonovel.com still looked down upon favonovel.com even if favonovel.com had won a two million lottery.
He was just a nouveau riche. How could favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com was like Naomi, one of the close female friends favonovel.com had.
Not to mention, favonovel.com had feelings toward her.
Therefore, favonovel.com had to help favonovel.com out when favonovel.com family was in trouble.
The cab stopped outside the entrance of Paradise Ville.
Gerald had learned that Mila’s family was quite an influential one. Her parents ran a profitable company. They were considered a big family, with all their relatives involved in all sorts of businesses.
By the time Gerald arrived at Mila’s home, the mansion was already full of people. Apart from the elders of their family, the rest was Mila’s friends and classmates.
“Gerald, you’re here!” Mila’s eyes were teary and red. She was sitting on the sofa, talking with Whitney.
Meanwhile, Whitney’s parents were lending a helping hand to entertain Mila’s classmates.
After all, the company was on the brink of bankruptcy due to capital constraints.
No one could be happy at this moment, not even Mila.
It was even more apparent to Mila’s on what true friendships were.
When they were rich, all kinds of people had tried to get close to them. Now that they were poor, not even one person came to visit.
The mansion which had always been lively was now quiet and dead. Apart from Mila’s friends, who else would want to come?!
“Yeah!” Gerald, not knowing what to say to make Mila feel better, put down the fruits favonovel.com had bought and greeted favonovel.com parents.
“Why is favonovel.com here?” Right then, favonovel.com heard a mocking voice.
A handsome man came in hand-in-hand with a beautiful girl.
He sneered at Gerald, somewhat contemptuously, his remark clearly pinpointing Gerald.
Gerald turned around and saw Kyle, Mila’s cousin.
He was a somewhat arrogant man.
Kyle’s family also owned some businesses. Thus, it was only natural that they would help Mila’s family. They had contributed a large fund to help Mila’s family, but it was of no use, and because of this, they were also not having a very good time now.
Kyle was in a bad mood since his family was also having a hard time, but when favonovel.com saw the rich friends of his cousin today, favonovel.com felt a little bit relieved.
Perhaps these people could help his cousin’s family overcome the crisis they were facing and even recover the funds of his family.
Under the circumstances where favonovel.com was having a bad mood, Kyle would not feel any better when seeing the pompous ass, who had just won a lottery, favonovel.com met that day.
He would not have much money, and his network would not be of any use. Why had favonovel.com come here?
“Kyle, favonovel.com is Mila’s friend. Watch your attitude!” Mila’s mother chided.
“Aunt, do you know who Gerald is? He is a famous figure in Mayberry University. He was a pauper until just recently. After favonovel.com won a lottery, favonovel.com started to show off in different ways. I even heard that favonovel.com sent condoms to his ex-girlfriend after being dumped by her. He is just a weirdo! Now that favonovel.com is so eager to get close with Mila, I don’t dare say favonovel.com doesn’t have a motive!” Kyle said scornfully.
Many of Mila’s classmates present looked at Gerald sinisterly.
“Bah! Is there really such a lowly person? Does favonovel.com think favonovel.com is so great after winning a lottery?”
“Absolutely! He can merely be considered an ignorant nouveau riche. Look at him. He is just a hillbilly!”
Some girls covered their mouths and laughed.
