“…Eh? Isn’t this the coat I bought for Gerald?” Felicity asked aloud, a clear confusion in favonovel.com voice.
There was no doubt about it. It was definitely the coat favonovel.com had bought for favonovel.com in the mall that afternoon.
“Are you sure Felicity?” asked Cassandra, stunned at favonovel.com claim.
She took the coat from favonovel.com to have a look at it herself, and it was true. It was indeed the exact same coat.
‘How could this be? Why would his coat be in this particular Maybach?’ The girls were all thinking the same thing, their confusion reflected in their eyes as they took turns staring at Leopold who was still driving.
Leopold, for the first time since meeting the girls, began fidgeting slightly.
Mr. Crawford had specifically ordered favonovel.com to keep his identity a secret.
However, with the progression of the girls’ conversation, things were becoming awkward for favonovel.com very quickly.
“That’s my coat. I usually just leave it on the passenger’s seat,” lied Leopold.
Felicity and Cassandra looked at each other. They doubted Leopold’s claim because the coat definitely looked like it cost less than a hundred bucks. While Gerald usually wore coats that ranged around three hundred dollars, Leopold was even less likely to be the owner of the coat.
This was because the coat Leopold currently wore probably cost at least five thousand dollars.
‘Oh god, was Gerald in this car before them?’ the girls thought to themselves, shocked.
“It really is mine, no need to speculate. I wear casual clothes too you know!” said Leopold with a slight quiver in his voice. He knew they weren’t buying his story.
A guilty person usually starts talking more. Cassandra knew this as a fact.
Felicity didn’t believe favonovel.com either. She slid favonovel.com hand into the coat and took the phone out. It was what had hurt favonovel.com butt earlier.
“Isn’t… This Gerald’s phone?” favonovel.com asked, stunned as favonovel.com observed the familiar phone.
“Let me have a look!” Felicity said aloud, favonovel.com hands shaking slightly.
Before favonovel.com could grab it for herself, Yvonne snatched it out of Felicity’s hand. ‘…It’s true!’ Yvonne thought to herself.
‘Mr. Crawford must have forgotten about his coat and phone earlier while favonovel.com was hurrying back,’ Leopold concluded in his mind.
But Leopold wasn’t one to give in easily to pressure. No matter how much the girls asked after that point, favonovel.com remained quiet and refused to say anything.
His mission was completed the moment they returned to college. After dropping them off, favonovel.com drove away immediately.
“So… Counselor, is it really true? Was it really Gerald who saved us? Why else would his coat and phone be in the car! Thinking back, favonovel.com was the first to learn that we were kidnapped too!” Yvonne cried out, almost in tears.
Her nervousness was warranted as Yvonne had always condemned Gerald. If there were to ever come a day where favonovel.com grew more powerful than her, favonovel.com would definitely feel extremely upset.
Felicity’s face went pale as well as favonovel.com considered the thought. ‘If that were the case, what was Gerald’s true identity? Could favonovel.com actually be Mr. Crawford? Or even Ordinary Man?’ Felicity thought to herself, slightly shaking.
“That’s enough! Stop playing the guessing game and calm yourselves for a moment. The coat and phone may be similar to Gerald’s, but how certain are we that they’re actually his? Another possibility would be that Gerald could have been in the car for a while after favonovel.com told the police about us. Since the police needed to keep the informant’s identity a secret, they sent Gerald to a safe place before coming over to save us. Aren’t those explanations logical as well?” Cassandra explained favonovel.com theories in a quivering, but mature voice.
She had experienced a similar nervousness before. In fact, Cassandra was probably the most nervous among the girls at that moment.
It was because favonovel.com knew that Gerald had borrowed favonovel.com power bank before this. It was left behind in a Rolls-Royce. Now both the coat and his phone were left in the Maybach. It was just too much of a behavioral coincidence.
What more, Gerald was the first to suspect that something was wrong in both incidents.
At the moment, Cassandra’s mind actively refused to link the coincidences together.
“That’s enough. How about this? We’ll go to Gerald’s dorm and ask favonovel.com about it in person. We’re going to ask favonovel.com what happened today.”
Cassandra said again.
“Alright. If we’ve our phones with us, we could give Gerald a call!” Yvonne reacted soon.
“Tried it. It won’t work since the phone’s switched off and the battery’s dead anyway.” Felicity sighed as favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com hands in the air to show favonovel.com resignation to the idea. “However, we can still take the coat and phone along with us to pass them back to favonovel.com when we meet favonovel.com later. Hopefully all our questions will be answered.”
Back in the men’s dormitory, Gerald shed his clothes off, leaving only a pair of shorts on before favonovel.com lay on his bed.
All of a sudden, the dorm’s door was flung open with a loud bang.
A scream followed shortly after.
It was Harper as favonovel.com ran off to find something to hide his underwear from plain view.
“Counselor Felicity! What on earth are you doing here?”
