“Pfft! Do you even need to ask? He’s probably here to get what little pocket money favonovel.com has left in his bank account! Hahaha! All of you probably didn’t notice, but favonovel.com didn’t even have any money in his wallet yesterday!” said Douglas as favonovel.com laughed.
Leila didn’t say anything else. When favonovel.com was still rich, favonovel.com couldn’t deny that favonovel.com had some feelings for him.
Now, however, favonovel.com felt nothing for favonovel.com after witnessing all that favonovel.com had done yesterday.
“That’s right! He’s come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!” said Leia as favonovel.com too, laughed.
Leila’s face scrunched slightly when favonovel.com heard Cindy’s name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling favonovel.com tales of how favonovel.com was broke and that favonovel.com may have pulled favonovel.com along to cheat favonovel.com of favonovel.com money.
Once favonovel.com heard all that, Cindy looked at Gerald with anxious eyes. “Why did you sell the car, Gerald? Also, why did you sell it for such a low price?”
She was sincerely worried about Gerald.
“I’ll tell you about it if an opportunity arises in the future. For now, I’m just going to go withdraw some money. I’ve an appointment at noon!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com smiled at Cindy.
He didn’t even bother to look at anyone else as favonovel.com walked to the counter.
Douglas himself brought the girls closer to the counter to observe Gerald. He wanted them to see Gerald make a fool of himself in front of the others.
“How much money would you like to withdraw, sir?” asked the clerk.
“Ninety thousand dollars, please,” replied Gerald without batting an eyelid.
“Ninety- What?” said Douglas, startled.
Leila was taken aback as well.
The same went for Leia and Cindy’s mother who were already heading back into their office. They froze and turned around in shock.
“Just a minute, sir!”
After Gerald entered his password and validated the transaction with his signature, the money counting machine came to life.
Douglas’s smug smile disappeared in an instant.
“You… you still have money? Didn’t you use all of it to buy that car?” asked Douglas in surprise.
“Did I say I used all of it?” replied Gerald, coldly.
“Then… How much did you actually win?” It was Leila’s turn to ask.
Cindy’s mother and Leia herself had inched closer to the group by then. All of them waited anxiously.
“I won…”
Gerald made sure to keep the suspense up for as long as favonovel.com could. He deserved at least that. Once favonovel.com had enough, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Actually, forget it. It’s not that much. There’s really no need to talk about it!”
“You!” Leila could only manage a single word. She was furious.
Gerald couldn’t fit all the money into his small bag so favonovel.com asked one of the cleaning staff there for a black garbage bag. He stuffed the money—all ninety thousand dollars—into it and nodded to Cindy with a smile before leaving the bank with the bag.
“…So… He actually still had money!” shouted Aunt Leia, devastated.
“That Gerald! How much did favonovel.com actually win from the lottery?” asked Leila anxiously.
“D*mn it all! I think he’s just doing all this on purpose! He’s just pretending to be poor in front of us!” Douglas was beyond annoyed at that point.
After all, favonovel.com had just received a huge mental slap from Gerald. All his intentions of having fun were now down the drain.
As for Gerald, favonovel.com soon arrived at the sales office and the salesgirl from before definitely felt the same mental slap that Douglas received when Gerald fully paid for the house in cold, hard cash.
One hundred and five thousand dollars’ worth of cash in one go.
This was a big boss.
