“No, the reason we’ve decided to call you and discuss this matter with you is because Alice specifically asked
us to bring
you along to the gathering this time!” Harper quickly informed Charlie.
“Huh?” Gerald
was taken aback.
It did not make sense at all. Wasn’t Alice always very
annoyed whenever she saw him? Why would she specifically
invite him to
a party?
To be honest,
Gerald had already drunk and ate a lot of food during the banquet at noon
today, so he wasn’t
hungry at all.
Instead, he was mostly really exhausted because he had been entertaining and
chatting with the
businessmen
during the banquet earlier.
He really did
not feel like going at all.
Moreover,
since it was only a simple gathering, Gerald really wanted to get ready for his
driving test instead.
Perhaps this
was God’s will. After all, most of the lives of the rich second generation
started with gatherings
and
socializing. Even though he had not revealed his identity, all kinds of
parties, entertainments and
gatherings
seemed to be revolving around him already.
When Gerald
refused to attend the gathering, Harper also said that he did not feel like
going anymore. This
made Gerald
feel very entangled and finally, he reluctantly agreed to join the party that
night.
Gerald went
back to the dormitory and changed into a new set of clothes. After that, Gerald
and his roommates
met up with
everyone else as they gathered outside the school gate.
“Alice, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to dinner?
Where are we going?”
Naomi was also
here and she suddenly asked Alice this question out of curiosity.
“Hahaha. To be
honest, it is not my treat tonight but Quinton’s! Their restaurant on Mayberry
Commercial Street
is opening
soon. If the meeting has gone smoothly in the afternoon and if they’ve obtained
approval, then Grand
Marshall
Restaurant will officially belong to Quinton’s family!”
A look of
arrogance flashed through Alice’s face and she could not help but raise her
eyes to look at Gerald’s
expression at
this time.
Hmph!
Did Gerald
really think that he was so great just because he could afford to invite
everyone to have dinner at
the most
luxurious place inside Wayfair Mountain Entertainment?
This really
made Quinton and Alice feel very embarrassed at that time.
But…what would
happen again in the future?
Gerald was
still going to be the pauper that he had always been. Could he ever afford to
bring everyone to
Wayfair
Mountain Entertainment again?
However,
Quinton was different. The Ziegler family did not only own their own
factory but
they also owned one
of the restaurants on Mayberry Commercial Street.
If he could
build up a good relationship with the business tycoon, Zack Lyle, then
Quinton’s future would be
crystal clear.
Alice was the
one who insisted on inviting Gerald to join them tonight. She wanted Gerald to
know that he could
never compare
to Quinton and she wanted to see the awkward and embarrassed expression on his
face.
However, Alice
was a little disappointed. This was because Gerald had a blank expression on
his face and it
seemed as
though he was indifferent to the situation.
‘Okay then!
Just wait and see!’ Alice could not help but think to herself.
“Alice, since
it is the opening of Quinton’s restaurant, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you
to bring so many
of us with you
there today? After all, we aren’t that close to him…”
Naomi was a
little worried at this time.
Jacelyn, who
was fixing up her makeup at this time, suddenly announced excitedly, “Hahaha!
How could it be
inappropriate?
The reason why Alice is tr
eating
everyone to dinner today is
because she
wants to make an
important
announcement. I believe that everyone remembers what happened at
the karaoke
bar last week. In fact,
Quinton had been the one to ask for his father’s help to deal
with this matter. What Quinton did for us really
touched
Alice’s heart.”
“For the past
few days, Quinton had been fiercely pursuing Alice and after much
consideration, Alice has
finally
decided to give Quinton a chance. She’s going to be in a relationship with him
and he’s going to be her
first love!”
“What?”
Everyone was
shocked after listening to Jacelyn’s words.
Unexpectedly,
Gerald was the first to scream out loud.
