“Heh. Hey, your name’s Gerald, right? Why don’t you take out the jade bracelet you bought for Giya and show it to us too?”
In his mind, Yacob thought that Gerald was most definitely the reason why Giya had been ignoring favonovel.com all this time.
Therefore, favonovel.com was targeting Gerald now.
“Forget about mine! The jade bracelet which I bought is nowhere near as good as yours. You don’t have to look at it!” said Gerald truthfully.
After all, favonovel.com had simply bought a jade bracelet which cost seven thousand and five hundred dollars for Giya. It was nowhere near the absurd price of Yacob’s gift.
Besides, if favonovel.com really wanted to mock Yacob, it’d be easier for Gerald to just slap the boy in the face.
However, Gerald didn’t want to get involved with favonovel.com or Giya and favonovel.com friends too much in the future so favonovel.com abstained for now.
Mila was sincere to favonovel.com so favonovel.com wanted to do the same.
Therefore, there was no reason for favonovel.com to compete with Yacob. Nothing good would ever come of it nor would favonovel.com gain anything.
“That’s right, Gerald! Don’t be shy, we won’t laugh at you. Show us already!” said Tammy.
Before favonovel.com could even respond, Tammy had already walked up to Gerald. She grabbed the box from his hand and placed it atop the table.
All the girls were looking forward to it.
Imagine comparing an eighteen thousand dollar jade bracelet to one that just cost a few dollars!
The difference would be like heaven and hell.
Tammy opened the box in one swift movement.
Gerald simply lowered his head, knowing favonovel.com was about to get ridiculed. After this, favonovel.com would simply need to look for a reason to excuse himself and leave.
Everything would be settled and favonovel.com wouldn’t owe Giya anything anymore.
He waited for the mocking to start.
He waited, and waited, and waited.
But it never came. Neither Tammy nor Yacob were mocking favonovel.com at all.
Peeking up to see what was taking them so long, favonovel.com saw Tammy staring at his jade bracelet, an extreme look of shock on favonovel.com face.
“Gerald… this… this bracelet… You bought this jade bracelet?” stuttered Tammy when favonovel.com finally mustered the strength to speak.
The rest of the girls had still not recovered from the revelation, their mouths left wide open, speechless.
“F*ck! That’s the dragon jade bracelet! I saw this thing online and it sold for about thirty thousand dollars!”
“I’ve heard about it too! Could this just be a high grade imitation jade bracelet? I’d like to believe so but… The color. It just seems too realistic to just be an imitation!”
“What do you mean a high grade imitation? It’s really easy to authenticate it from a fake so imitating it in the first place is impossible!”
“That’s true! Oh my god! Gerald’s jade bracelet is worth thirty-two thousand dollars!”
If the girls had not actually seen and held on to the actual product at that moment, they wouldn’t have believed that statement even if it cost them their lives.
However, there it was. The dragon jade bracelet in their hands.
Gerald was stunned as well and favonovel.com felt cold sweat begin to drip from his forehead.
F*ck! He had grabbed the wrong box this morning! Even though the two boxes were quite similar, Gerald had marked them with the numbers, seven and thirty-two, to differentiate them.
He made sure to check that favonovel.com was holding on to the cheaper bracelet’s box before favonovel.com left with it, so what was the thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet doing here?
D*mn it!
Gerald’s heart was beating frantically.
Everyone else was still shocked speechless!
Even the surrounding female student customers had gotten off their seats and gathered around their table by this point.
“Let me see that!” said Giya as favonovel.com gingerly took the jade bracelet from Tammy’s hands.
After carefully examining it, Giya looked at Gerald with a look of disbelief on favonovel.com face. “…It’s the real deal. It’s absolutely authentic. Gerald, did you buy this?”
Gerald had no idea how to answer her.
While all this was happening, Yacob’s face had grown to be as red as a tomato. His cheeks were flushed with both surprise and anger. He felt as if favonovel.com had just been slapped hard on the face!
“H-heh! And here I thought that you were an honest guy. You’re just another one of those pretentious folk, aren’t you? Saying that your own bracelet wasn’t as expensive as mine… You’re doing this on purpose to mock me, aren’t you?”
Even Yacob’s taunts were said in a slightly quivering voice. He couldn’t help but feel extremely anxious at how favonovel.com utterly lost face today.
“I… didn’t… mean it… I really thought that mine was cheaper than yours… Who could have guessed that it was actually more expensive?”
Those words were true as Gerald had not wanted to compare his bracelet to Yacob’s in the first place.
At that moment, Gerald suddenly recalled that favonovel.com hadn’t touched the two jade bracelets at all since favonovel.com had brought them back to the dormitory. Someone must have either accidentally, or deliberately switched them around. He would ask Harper and the boys about it when favonovel.com got back.
Hearing Gerald’s honest reply, Yacob felt like favonovel.com had received a punch in the gut this time. He was beyond embarrassed at this point.
“Hurry up and answer us Gerald! Did you buy this jade bracelet?”
All the girls were looking at Gerald expectantly. Their eyes were sprinkled with both admiration and excitement at the same time.
