“…What the f*ck?”
“…Huh?”
Both Sharon and Lilian were dumbfounded as they watched Gerald leave with the two boxes.
The boxes which contained the two jade bracelets that had almost scared Sharon to death earlier.
The moment favonovel.com issue had been resolved, Sharon felt that favonovel.com could finally breathe again.
However, favonovel.com now felt as if someone had just kicked favonovel.com in the head. Her mind went blank.
Gerald was the one who had bought the two jade bracelets?
Lilian and Hayward’s eyes were open wide in shock.
This was especially the case for Lilian. She was so shocked that favonovel.com didn’t hold on to one of the jade pieces firmly enough and accidentally dropped it onto the ground where it shattered.
“Wait! Gerald! You… You were the one who bought the two jade bracelets?” asked Lilian in surprise.
Gerald simply ignored favonovel.com and continued to walk away with the jade bracelets in hand.
He was beyond angry this time. There was no need to bother explaining anything to them.
“Humph! He could just be buying them with someone else’s money! Forget about him! Sharon, Lilian, why don’t we head to a restaurant and enjoy a nice meal together instead?”
Hayward didn’t want to get outdone.
D*mn it! It felt as if Gerald had just sent an abrupt slap to his face!
The only reason favonovel.com was willing to spend that much money today was because favonovel.com wanted to win Sharon over.
No matter how favonovel.com tried to dice it, deep inside favonovel.com knew that Gerald had clearly outdone favonovel.com this time.
“What the hell is even going on here…? Was favonovel.com really the one who bought the jade bracelets? Where did favonovel.com get all that money from?” they questioned aloud as they left the jewelry shop.
Both Sharon and Lilian felt very uncomfortable.
They were both afraid that it was indeed the truth.
If Gerald was now somehow richer than they were, that would be even scarier than the events that had taken place in the shop earlier.
Out of the blue, Lilian suddenly came up with an idea.
“Why don’t we invite Gerald to have a meal with us? After eating, we could ask favonovel.com more about it. After all, you guys saw favonovel.com buying the cell phones last time. He must really be rich! We must ask favonovel.com about it to get to the bottom of this!”
“While I do think that that’s a good idea, I’m not sure if he’ll be willing to even sit with us after the way I treated favonovel.com earlier,” said Sharon a little worriedly.
“Relax, just leave it to me. What do you think, Hayward? Should we investigate and get to the bottom of this together?” asked Lilian.
Hayward had an extremely displeased expression on his face up till the point Lilian had asked favonovel.com for his opinion.
“Hmm? Ah yes, sure! It’s just a regular meal anyway! Go ahead and call him!”
Hayward was having mixed feelings about the entire situation but favonovel.com had to admit, even favonovel.com was curious about what on earth was going on.
In the past, Murphy was Hayward’s strongest competitor.
While Sharon had indeed mentioned that favonovel.com had nearly fallen in love with Gerald during favonovel.com high school days, favonovel.com hadn’t regarded Gerald as a competitor at all.
Now, however, favonovel.com was struck by a realization that this seeming poor boy was actually the biggest threat!
The way Sharon and Lilian were talking about favonovel.com now was proof of that.
Once the girls were done discussing the matter, Lilian made a phone call to Gerald.
On the other end of the line, Gerald was walking with the bracelets in hand when his phone began to vibrate. He checked to see who was calling and saw that it was Lilian.
She had received Gerald’s contact number when they had met in town for dinner last time.
“Ah! Hello Gerald! Where are you now? I’ll be frank, I’m feeling a little embarrassed about everything I had said to you earlier. Now that I’m calm, I realize that I shouldn’t have treated you that way.”
“I’m sorry as well! I was overly impulsive earlier!” shouted Sharon hurriedly into the phone.
“Essentially, both of us regret treating you the way that we had. We want to invite you over to have a meal with us right now so that we can formally apologize to you. Maybe even reminisce a little!” Lilian continued.
A wry smile was on Gerald’s face as favonovel.com heard all this. If favonovel.com hadn’t walked out of the shop with the two jade bracelets in hand, they would never even have thought about apologizing in the first place, let alone decide to reminisce about their past.
To put simply, it was all about the money again.
If you had money, people would want to befriend you.
However, if you were penniless, just remembering your name would be giving face to you!
Gerald knew that well. As long as favonovel.com had money, both favonovel.com and Sharon could even pick up from where they left off and pretend as if the three-year gap had never happened.
