“Holy! That’s such a beautiful jade bracelet!”
Everyone was equally shocked when they saw what lay inside the parcel.
The receipt that came with the parcel made them even more shocked.
The two bracelets had cost more than forty thousand dollars.
“Hey, we want to see too!”
Jacelyn started jumping and shouting on the other side of the screen.
Harper and Benjamin took the jade bracelets out before showing it to them through his phone’s camera. Gerald’s other roommates continued looking at the boxes
Even the boxes didn’t look cheap.
Everyone was now convinced about one thing. Gerald was rich! That was an undeniable fact,
At that moment, the boy standing by the door started whispering hurriedly, “Gerald’s back! Put it away quickly!”
Harper immediately ended the video call as the other boys hurriedly placed the bracelets back into their original boxes.
When Gerald opened the door to enter the dormitory, favonovel.com saw that all his classmates were standing. They all looked flustered as they stared at him.
It was a puzzling scene for Gerald so favonovel.com simply smiled and asked, “What? Do you see money on my face?”
“Gerald, please tell us the truth. Are you really rich now?” asked Harper curiously.
“As if I’ve ever had any money in the first place,” said Gerald reflexively.
“D*mn it! He’s still trying to hide the truth from us! Brothers! Let’s unite and crush him!”
Harper and the rest of the boys then lifted favonovel.com up together before pinning his arms and legs on a bed.
They turned favonovel.com around and took his pants off before spanking and tickling favonovel.com mercilessly.
“Alright! Alright! I surrender! I’m rich now! Stop it already!”
Gerald knew that the cat was out of the bag and there was no point trying to hide it any longer.
It would appear that all his recent odd behaviors had caught Harper and Benjamin’s attention.
They had a right to be doubtful. After all, how could such a miserably poor student suddenly become so rich? What more, favonovel.com wasn’t just rich. He was also very powerful.
Gerald had originally not intended to tell Harper and the rest the truth. This was because favonovel.com was afraid that the brotherly affection favonovel.com had with them would cease once money came into the equation.
However, favonovel.com remained silent on the fact that favonovel.com was indeed Mr. Crawford.
Despite that, his roommates had already speculated that there was a high chance of favonovel.com definitely being Mr. Crawford.
No matter what they did, Gerald refused to reveal who favonovel.com really was and wouldn’t admit anything else, including how favonovel.com got so rich all of a sudden.
There was nothing that Harper and the other boys could do.
Though they continued to fool around for a while, they were all genuinely happy for Gerald.
As for Gerald, favonovel.com had already made up his mind a long time ago that favonovel.com would definitely be helping all his brothers in their careers in the future.
Once things calmed down a little, the boys playfully blackmailed Gerald while they discussed among themselves how they were going to spend the next few days at school together. Everyone in the dormitory had helped Gerald before in the past. Therefore, favonovel.com found no issue in treating them well now.
Once they were done revising and studying, Gerald and the boys went out to enjoy themselves. They ate, drank, and had loads of fun before finally returning to the dormitory to rest.
While all of that happened, that content of Jessica’s call earlier has still been left undiscussed.
Dialing back in time a little, Gerald had just entered the bathroom when favonovel.com finally picked up favonovel.com call. He had wanted to ask his sister whether favonovel.com would be coming and if favonovel.com needed favonovel.com to pick favonovel.com up.
However, favonovel.com response wasn’t quite an expected one. She wasn’t going to be able to make it over anymore.
“Brother, an important guest is visiting our family and dad has asked me to accompany them. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to visit for a while. Dad told me to tell you about it!”
“I see. Well, it can’t be helped!”
Gerald was honestly slightly disappointed. After all, favonovel.com really missed his sister.
“Hey, do you remember that our father used to have a brother and comrade-in-arms back when we were in our old house in Mayberry City?”
“I do,” said Gerald as favonovel.com nodded.
It was a long story which favonovel.com had heard from his father over the phone some time ago. Part of that story involved his father telling favonovel.com that the Crawford family had always had a way of educating their children to survive in poverty.
His father had been no exception to that.
