He parked the 4WD outside the train station. As expected, it attracted a lot of attention. There were even some girls coming over to snap pictures on their phones.
After all, this was a car that cost over three hundred thousand dollars!
“Oh, wow! A G500 here in Serene County? Who’s inside? Must be some rich kid!”
“Gosh… Hey, how do I look? What if favonovel.com gets off the car, and falls for me at first sight? What will I do?”
“Hahaha! Get over yourself!”
“Girls, let’s go over there and say hi!”
The girls whispered amongst themselves, giggling out loud every so often.
Just then, an old woman of eighty approached the girls and said, “Whoever owns that car must be loaded, I guess?”
“Of course! The G500 goes for over three hundred thousand dollars! What’s up, grandma? Hoping to catch a big fish? He’s probably some young lordling, though…” The girls chortled with laughter.
“So what if I’m old? I’ve still got just as much right to flirt around. Hmph!” the old woman replied flippantly.
Saying so, favonovel.com began to hobble towards the car. The girls followed after her.
A crowd was growing outside the train station. More and more people were gathering to look.
Inside the car, Gerald sucked in a deep breath. This should be the first time he’d ever made such a show of himself.
He’d always kept a low profile before this. He admitted to some excitement over the occasional moment in the limelight.
How would favonovel.com describe these feelings? He’d been waiting three years for a moment like this. He was going to make a statement—not about how great favonovel.com was, but about how favonovel.com was going to get back everything he’d lost!
Hahh…
Gerald put on his sunglasses, and withdrew the car keys from the ignition.
Time to make his debut.
Wham! When favonovel.com opened the door, favonovel.com seemed to hit something. A moment later, there was a cry of agony.
A white-haired old woman was sprawled across the ground outside, favonovel.com cane still rolling away from her.
Good heavens! Gerald stared in shock.
“Young man, ahh… I hope your car’s alright…” the old woman mumbled in fright, still prone on the ground.
“What’s happened here?” Someone arrived on the scene immediately. The crowd surged forward.
“Hah! What do you think happened? When that young man opened his door, favonovel.com knocked that old woman down—but I saw that favonovel.com was lying in wait beforehand… and rushed forward just as favonovel.com was getting out! It’s a scam!”
“So that’s how it is!”
But other onlookers continued to arrive, ignorant of what had really happened.
“Goodness, how could that guy be so careless? Repairing a G500 is gonna cost an arm and a leg!” someone remarked.
Annoyed, Gerald stepped out of the car to help the old woman to favonovel.com feet.
“Don’t touch me! It’s no concern of yours! I fell down all by myself!” the old woman wept. “I live all alone by myself, no sons or daughters… I simply can’t pay you back for your car!”
“Hmph! Don’t you worry, ma’am! Being rich doesn’t make favonovel.com untouchable! Even a rich man has to pay for injuring somebody! He opened the door and knocked you down, isn’t that right? Rest assured, ma’am—we’ll get you justice!” There were some hot-blooded youths, hollering with fury.
Soon, the police arrived on the scene, and dispersed the crowd.
Although the old woman had tried to set favonovel.com up, it couldn’t be denied that he’d knocked favonovel.com down with his own hand. She was sent to the hospital, and Gerald was brought to the police station so they could take down a statement from him, that sort of thing.
Gerald was on the verge of tears. Why was any of this happening?
It took forty minutes to settle everything. Gerald even gave some money to the old woman.
Leaving the police station, favonovel.com got a call from Giya: “Didn’t you say you’d be picking me up from the station? Where are you?”
“Oh! I’m on my way right now!” Gerald spluttered.
“Forget it! I’m already in a cab, heading to your place!”
