He was rather annoyed by his innocence back then.
Now that his peculiar parenting was over and favonovel.com had spent so much money, favonovel.com was still being scolded by his sister!
Gerald felt that his life was quite dramatic, almost as if it was a dream.
“Hey, I’ve checked the transactions of your card. You have spent all the money! Haha, great job! I heard from Zack that you have improved a lot. You even learned to use our company funds to invest in a small company! I did a background check on the company you helped. Did you fall in love with that girl? Are you getting me a sister-in-law?” Jessica asked playfully.
It was true that Gerald had been keeping in touch with Mila over these past few days and they were indeed growing fond of each other. Mila chatted with favonovel.com about almost everything, and favonovel.com was very happy to chat about anything with her.
However, the closer they got, the more Gerald became reluctant to take the first step in pursuing her.
He did not expect his sister to find out about this.
“No, I’m not!” Gerald said bitterly.
“Okay, I will stop teasing you. I just want to tell you that since you have started investing, you reminded me of my plan to build some schools or shopping complexes in Mayberry. Why don’t you try to do it for me instead?” Jessica gave favonovel.com an unforgiving challenge.
“What?! But Sister, I know nothing about investment!”
“That’s why I want you to learn. It will be alright. Zack will form an exceptional team to help you do this. You can take this chance to learn how to make use of the assets. Otherwise, if you cannot pass the last test in the future, Daddy will not…”
“What test?”
Gerald sensed something strange from his sister’s words.
Since the day his sister had sent favonovel.com the money, favonovel.com had been acting strangely. She forced favonovel.com to spend at least two hundred thousand dollars at a time, and then, favonovel.com told favonovel.com to spend the whole twenty million dollars. It didn’t seem like favonovel.com did it just because they had plenty of money.
She seemed to have a motive behind this.
Judging from what favonovel.com had said just now, favonovel.com must have guessed it right!
“It’s nothing. It’s not something you should know, and don’t ask for now. Just do as I said. Starting from now, focus on your investment. You can invest in any industry that you think will earn a profit, whether it is business, education, entertainment, or anything. You can invest in the name of Mayberry International Inc., and they will provide you the funds.”
After Jessica had reminded favonovel.com to get started as soon as possible, favonovel.com hung up the phone.
Gerald scratched his head helplessly.
He knew nothing about all these things.
Right then, the phone rang once more.
It was Zack. He called just at the right time.
“Are you busy, Mr. Crawford? If you are not, can you come to the manor for a bit? Mr. Harrison from the Bureau of Commerce, Mr. Armstrong from the Bureau of Education, along with many influential people in the city wish to meet with you!”
“I’m not busy. Okay, I will go now.”
Gerald refused to let Zack send a car to fetch favonovel.com and just took a taxi.
Gerald had always hoped to meet with more people and build a strong network. This would help favonovel.com improve himself.
As favonovel.com sat in the car, Gerald thought of favonovel.com getting a driving license. Once favonovel.com got his driving license, favonovel.com would be able to drive his own car. He was anticipating the arrival of that day.
Soon, favonovel.com arrived at the manor in Wayfair Mountain.
Gerald walked into the lobby casually.
“Mister, did you make an appointment?”
Unexpectedly, Gerald was stopped by a receptionist from getting in.
The receptionist did not think favonovel.com was someone who could afford the expenses here.
However, the voice of the receptionist was very familiar to Gerald. Gerald shuddered and turned to look at her.
As their eyes met, the receptionist opened favonovel.com mouth in shock.
“Gerald?”
“Xavia?”
“Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?!”
…
