Hearing that, the trio then agreed to head to Heartstone Manor together first.
Yul had come looking for Perla since the Sherwins had initially been quite a prestigious and influential family in Jenna City. However, due to the Dun family’s schemes, the fall of the Sherwin family came shortly after. With that in mind, though Perla had initially driven a luxury car worth at least seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, favonovel.com now only drove an ordinary BMW 7 Series.
Of course, Gerald didn’t mind that at all.
On their way there, Perla began telling Gerald about the Heartstone Manor. As it turned out, the manor had a history of over a thousand years, and the earliest depictions of it stated that the manor had first been established by a prince and nobleman from ancient times.
Later on, the manor was eventually contracted by the Waddys who acted as the manor’s developer. Following that, they began conducting many large-scale tourism projects there.
Aside from that, the manor was also used as the venue of the underground festival.
Regardless, since the Heartstone Manor was going to be closed up in just one more day, many people were already flocking the area by the time the trio got there.
Eventually, Perla managed to park the car in the crowded parking lot. Just as the trio was about to head off, all three of them suddenly heard a feminine voice sneering, “Who’s car is this? Who allowed you to park here?!”
Turning around, Gerald saw that a high-end Mercedes Benz had stopped right in front of Perla’s car, and several men and women had just stepped out of it. The one who had yelled at them appeared to be a woman who also seemed to be the leader of the group.
Before favonovel.com could further ridicule the trio, however, both Perla and the woman suddenly froze in surprise.
After a brief moment, both of them called out each other’s names in near-unison.
“Perla?”
“Jenny?”
The second after favonovel.com said that, Perla’s face instantly reddened in embarrassment as favonovel.com stared at the woman who looked to only be a few years older than her.
On the contrary, there was a smug look on Jenny’s face as favonovel.com crossed favonovel.com arms while sneering, “So it’s you, Perla! Aren’t you a bit too free to be having fun here at Heartstone Manor? Don’t you have work to attend to or something?”
“Who is she, Jenny?” asked one of the young men from Jenny’s group. All it took was a glance for Gerald to see that all of them were wearing clothes befitting fashionable nobles. It was also evident that they all had contempt in their eyes.
“You could call favonovel.com my cousin, I guess… Her mother is my grandmother’s adopted daughter, you see, and favonovel.com eventually ended up getting married into the Sherwin family. I trust that all of you have already heard about what happened to the Sherwins, correct? With that in mind, I really hadn’t expected favonovel.com to still have the heart to come play around at Heartstone Manor! A place where only the wealthy can afford to come to!” replied Jenny.
It was really no secret that cousin sisters sometimes enjoyed comparing themselves with each other. Jenny, for one, had always been jealous of Perla. After all, favonovel.com could never even come close to comparing with favonovel.com in the past. Now that tragedy had befallen the Sherwins, however, favonovel.com finally had the opportunity to mock Perla to favonovel.com heart’s content!
“You…!” growled the enraged Perla. However, favonovel.com knew that there was nothing else favonovel.com could really say.
A wry smile on his face, Gerald simply shook his head before saying, “Let’s just go, Perla!”
Nodding in response, Perla was just about to leave with the other two when Jenny suddenly shouted, “Stop right there!”
“What is it now, Jenny…” asked Perla.
“What do you mean, what ‘what is it now’? Move your d*mned car out of the way! How dare you have the guts to even park your cheap car in this expensive parking lot?!” retorted Jenny, feeling extremely frustrated.
“I know, right? To think that favonovel.com even brought along that pathetic pauper!” chimed in another girl who had been standing beside Jenny.
The second they heard the words, ‘pathetic pauper’, Gerald and Yul instantly turned back to look at the girl.
“…Huh? Pathetic pauper? Who do you mean, Poppy?” asked Jenny.
“That guy, of course! He’s from our university and he’s as poor as a church mouse!” declared Poppy as favonovel.com pointed at Yul.
Hearing that, Yul instantly blushed and lowered his head.
“You’re really frustrating me, you know that, Perla? How did you ever manage to end up in such a pathetic state? To think that you’d actually bring two paupers along to have fun at such a high-end place! Couldn’t you have just brought them to an amusement park or something? Hell, you could’ve just spent a little more money to bring them to Disneyland to have a look around! With that said, there was absolutely no reason for you to bring both of them here! I mean, just look at what both of them are wearing!”
