However, upon seeing how sad and lonely Naomi looked, favonovel.com instantly felt sorry for her. As a result, favonovel.com was able to momentarily suppress his resentment.
“…Well… What about you, Naomi? What kind of illness is your mother suffering from?” asked Gerald.
“Well, after returning to Mayberry under Chairman Lyle’s protection, it didn’t take long for me to realize that my mom had contracted some sort of weird illness. Even after meeting countless doctors, nobody’s been able to cure her. As you can imagine, however, hiring doctors isn’t cheap… As a result, I ended up having to sell all of my family’s properties! It was about a month ago when all my resources finally ran dry. Having no other options, I came to the Salford Province to seek help from an uncle. During my time here, I found out that a famous doctor lives nearby! He goes by Master Jenkinson! However, since I barely have enough money to survive now, I can’t really meet up with him…” explained Naomi in an embarrassed tone.
Sighing, Gerald then replied, “To think that a single incident could cause such a massive ripple effect… Now even people acquainted with me have to share my burden…”
Guilt-ridden, Gerald then added, “It’ll be fine. Speaking of which, don’t pawn off this jade bracelet. After all, this person’s a liar! Such a bracelet is worth at least fifty-four thousand dollars! Regardless, I’m going to help find out what’s wrong with your mother and cure her.”
While Naomi was slightly confused to hear that, favonovel.com believed that Gerald wouldn’t ever lie to her.
The boss himself seemed to give up after hearing Gerald say that.
“F*cking hell! You do realize you’ve ruined my business, don’t you?” said the boss angrily.
In response, Marven sneered before whispering something into the boss’s ear. Seconds later, the boss’s face turned pale as favonovel.com immediately shut up. For the rest of his duration there, favonovel.com simply stood respectfully in place.
Knowing that Marven would know how to handle the rest, Gerald held Naomi by favonovel.com hand and led favonovel.com out of the place.
“Where’s your mother at?” asked Gerald.
“She’s currently staying up north at a hotel at the foot of Yorknorth Mountain… Do you know Master Jenkinson, Gerald?” asked Naomi in return.
“I do!” replied Gerald with a slightly bitter laugh.
“Speaking of which, what exactly happened to you in the past half year? Do you have any idea how worried all of us were for you?” said Naomi.
“Come, get in the car first. Your mother is our top priority now. I’ll tell you about it on the way there…”
Gerald didn’t really have any qualms when dealing with Naomi, so favonovel.com found no reason not to tell favonovel.com what truly happened.
Upon arriving up north, Gerald rented an electric tricycle and told Naomi to hop on. With Naomi sitting behind Gerald, both of them then rushed toward Yorknorth Mountain.
Since Gerald was quite close to Naomi, it was impossible for Gerald to just ignore favonovel.com when favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was in trouble.
Reaching the hotel shortly after, Gerald and Naomi were just about to get off the electric tricycle when they heard, “Hey! Isn’t that Naomi? Haha! She’s riding an electric tricycle!”
Turning to look at who had said that, the duo saw a few young men and women laughing at them as the group stood beside an Audi A6. Since the car’s doors were open, Gerald could only assume that they were about to leave before they spotted favonovel.com and Naomi.
“They’re from my uncle’s family, Gerald,” said Naomi as favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com voice.
“I see…” replied Gerald while nodding slightly.
Getting off the tricycle, Naomi looked toward the group of people before asking, “Why are all of you here?”
“Why, we’re here to cancel your room of course! We were just about to call you! Dad said that since you don’t even have the money to meet Master Jenkinson, why should we continue paying for your room? I’ll tell you now that this high-ranked hotel only permitted a poor person like you to stay here since they wanted to pay respect to the Legh family! You’ve humiliated our family enough for staying here for far too long! This ends today!” sneered a woman dressed in luxurious clothes.
“Indeed! Look, if you really can’t afford it, just bring your mom home already. As if you don’t already know that only those who are influential and powerful are able to meet Master Jenkinson. With the small amount of money you have left, you won’t even make it halfway up the mountain!” added another man from the group contemptuously.
When Naomi’s family was still considerably rich in Mayberry, favonovel.com family had contacted the Leghs from the Salford Province quite often.
Because of that, Naomi had gone to them to ask for their help after selling off all favonovel.com properties. They had taken favonovel.com in at the time since they didn’t know favonovel.com was already poor by then. However, it only took a day for them to realize what favonovel.com had done with favonovel.com family’s properties.
Fearing that Naomi would only continue burdening them, from that day onward, they began treating favonovel.com terribly like how they had just done. That was the gist of how things ended up this way.
“Yeah! Besides, my dad was already kind enough to find a family here for you to get married to! However, you ended up refusing it. Sure, the guy’s a bit slow in the head but at least he’s rich!” said yet another woman without filtering favonovel.com words.
“I know right? Still, it’s no wonder why you refused it back then. So you already have a boyfriend! However, to think that favonovel.com only rides on electric tricycles to move around!” added another woman.
Listening to all their ridicules, Gerald could only shake his head while laughing bitterly. If this had happened in the past, favonovel.com would’ve already humiliated them by now. However, favonovel.com knew better than to succumb to standards as low as theirs.
