Lilian was jealous.
She was in no way in a good mood and felt Gerald more of an eyesore when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com coming over.
She could still maintain some basic form of courtesy in the past, but as soon as Lillian saw him, favonovel.com started scolding him.
In short, favonovel.com had said lots of bad stuff in public.
Everyone came, and after some persuading, Lilian finally cooled down a little.
Gerald really wanted to do one thing right now. He was dying to give Lilian a tight slap across favonovel.com face.
It was already bad enough that favonovel.com was continually ridiculing him.
Now, favonovel.com was directly provoking and looking down on him.
“Okay. That’s enough, Lilian. Why nitpick? If favonovel.com is willing to eat, then just let favonovel.com eat. You have your own reputation to take care of. After all, you will become a teacher, and you’ll have a stable job with a permanent income!” Hayward said with a smile.
When favonovel.com saw that Hayward had personally come over to persuade her, Lilian finally calmed down.
“Sigh. This person just makes me so annoyed and frustrated. Although you were poor before, Hayward, at least you are rich now after receiving compensation. You won’t forget and disregard me just because of that, right?” Lilian asked as favonovel.com leaned onto Hayward.
“Why would I even do that? No matter what happens, you, Lilian, will always be my good friend,” Hayward replied with a laugh.
Those words made Sharon feel a little uncomfortable.
In fact, everyone present could sense something wrong in the atmosphere tonight, and obviously, a tug of war was brooding between Lilian and Sharon.
Both rivals kept fighting secretly as they stuck around Hayward.
Hayward’s hometown was about to be redeveloped. No matter how things would shape up, favonovel.com was sure to receive a few properties in return. And just like that, favonovel.com would bag a few million dollars, and his financial security ensured.
It was no wonder the two beauties were fighting so fiercely over him.
“Gerald, come here! This one’s already roasted!”
Queta looked at Gerald, now clenching his fists, and looked like favonovel.com was about to explode. Hurriedly, favonovel.com pulled Gerald aside.
Queta continued advising and persuading Gerald.
And Gerald did not lose his temper because of favonovel.com persuasion.
They could patronize favonovel.com all they wanted now. One thing, though. He couldn’t help but wonder what Lilian and Sharon’s faces would look like when favonovel.com could finally announce his identity.
Would they regret their actions today?
Gerald smiled bitterly.
Ignoring them, favonovel.com simply enjoyed the view of the lake with Queta.
That night, Hayward put everyone up at the village guest house.
Gerald saw that it was late at night, and it seemed as though Queta really wanted to spend the night here. It was probably because favonovel.com missed the times favonovel.com had with favonovel.com adopted parents.
After Lilian and the others retreated to their rooms, Gerald got Queta and himself a room each.
In short, apart from the incident with Lilian, Gerald’s day was reasonably relaxing.
He really couldn’t wait for the mountain to be developed. When that happened, favonovel.com could live all by himself in peace and quiet. It was a quiet night.
Early the next morning, favonovel.com drove Queta down the hill. He hoped favonovel.com wouldn’t run into Lillian and the others. He might just beat them up for real this time.
Gerald suddenly hit the brakes, and the car came to an abrupt halt.
“There is still some time before you start work, and I have some spare time before my class starts. Let’s go to that Michelin Restaurant for some food.” Gerald pointed at the Michelin Starred Restaurant beside the road.
“Wow? I’ve heard my colleagues saying Michelin Restaurants are really pricey. Only the rich like you can afford those places! I’m not going in!”
Queta shook favonovel.com head and looked to the floor.
Gerald smiled. “Don’t worry! I’m cool if you feel like dining here every day.”
Ever since favonovel.com became posh, Gerald’s confidence had puffed up significantly, especially in the way favonovel.com spoke.
