Gerald felt good about it, but Lilian didn’t resent Hayward at all.
“Gerald, this car must’ve cost a bomb, right? It’s quite a sight!”
Liam walked toward them and smiled at Gerald.
No matter how much the rest mocked him, Liam knew that being friends with favonovel.com would be advantageous since favonovel.com personally knew Elena and drove such a luxurious car.
“About 22,000 dollars!” Gerald replied, smiling politely.
They both shook hands.
Meanwhile, Liam’s phone rang.
“Dad? Okay, I’ll go back now!”
Liam hung up his phone. “Hey, Gerald. I’ll have to leave now; it’s really nice meeting you! I’m so sorry, Douglas and Leila, something came up, and I can’t take you guys home.”
“Huh?” Leila was stunned.
They were supposed to hitch a ride from Liam back home since Douglas did not dare drive his car.
Meanwhile, Gerald had already started his car engine, and Lilian was sitting next to him.
Douglas then turned to Leila and asked. “Leila, why not we take an Uber?”
“Uber? Look at you, is taking an Uber all you know? You bought a car, and you don’t even drive it, and now I’ve got to take the Uber!” Leila snapped, pisssed.
“I’ll give you guys a ride to the station!” Gerald smiled and beckoned them over.
Gerald just felt that it was not right to leave them there like that.
Leila glanced at Gerald hesitantly and then hopped into the car. She stole a peek towards Lilian and felt a pang of jealousy. She wanted the co-pilot seat to be hers.
“Damn it!” Douglas cursed under his breath.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Gerald eyed Douglas.
“What do you mean? I’m getting into the car!”
“When I said them, I meant both the ladies. Not you, Douglas. And the money you owed me, don’t forget to pay up!” Gerald locked the door.
The last time Gerald tried to help him, favonovel.com got insulted in return, and this time around, favonovel.com was definitely not going to offer help again.
As favonovel.com watched them drive off, Sharon was left in a confused state.
Gerald cared about favonovel.com a lot back in high school. Even when favonovel.com forgot to take favonovel.com meals while busy studying, favonovel.com would brave the rain just to buy favonovel.com food. Gerald always saw favonovel.com differently.
Even after three years, despite what favonovel.com did to him, favonovel.com still looked at favonovel.com the same way. But this time, Gerald just grew so cold. He completely ignored her, and favonovel.com was not too used to it. He did not even look at favonovel.com when favonovel.com took the contract from her.
After dropping them off at the station, Gerald booked a hotel room to rest for the evening.
That night, Gerald received a call from his family. It was a classified call that only his family members knew of. Gerald immediately picked up when favonovel.com realized who the caller was.
