Gerald walked out of the room immediately.
At this time, Naomi and the head of Gerald’s dormitory, Harper,
chased after Gerald immediately.
“What are you doing? I didn’t say that I don’t like your gift,”
Naomi said anxiously.
Harper also spoke up at this time. “Gerald, don’t leave. Stay
and have dinner before you go. If you leave now, we’ll be very bored here.”
Gerald smiled before he replied, “You guys can continue having
fun here. There’s really something I have to do now but I hope you guys will
believe I’m not the kind of person who would buy something fake!”
Gerald did not know if his friends would believe him.
As he thought about it, Gerald could only blame his sister for
giving him the card with a minimum spending amount of fifty thousand dollars.
Even though Harper and Naomi kept persuading Gerald, he still
decided to leave in the end.
“Did that pauper really leave?” Danny asked with a smile as soon
as Naomi and Harper returned to the room.
Harper replied, “Danny, can’t you change the target of your
bullying? Why are you always bullying Gerald? Isn’t he miserable enough?”
Harper could not tolerate it anymore.
“Hahaha. He was the one who asked for it himself! Why did he buy
an imitation Hermes bag to gift Naomi? Moreover, he even chose to give her a
fake limited edition collector’s item. He’s really the worst!”
Alice could only smile wryly as she shook her head.
Gerald walked on the street without any emotions on his face
after leaving the restaurant.
When Gerald was really poor, all he wished for was to be rich.
However, now that he was loaded with cash, he did not feel anything special at
all.
Moreover, he bought his friend a bag that cost more than fifty
five thousand dollars but he was still despised and ridiculed.
Just as Gerald was thinking of where he should head to, he
suddenly received a phone call.
It was a phone call from his sister, Jessica.
Gerald immediately answered the call. “Sister!”
“Gerald! What are you doing now?
“I’m not busy at all…”
“If you are free, could you do me a favor?”
Gerald was curious at this point.
“Do you know Mayberry Commercial Street? I invested in that
street and developed it when I returned to the country to see you four years
ago. I need to sign a renewal contract with some of the investors but I can’t
return to the country now.”
“Back then, I included your name in the development of the
project. Therefore, Mayberry Commercial Street belongs to both of us. It’ll be
the same even if you sign the contract! Go and renew the contract on my
behalf.”
“Hello? Gerald, did you hear what I just said?”
Of course, Gerald heard everything that she said.
However, he was really confused at this time.
Mayberry Commercial Street?
That was one of the highlights of Mayberry City.
There were many different shops and business establishments on
the commercial street.
There was also a place called Wayfair Mountain Entertainment on
top of the hill along the commercial street. This was a place that the wealthy
and powerful people in Mayberry City would always visit.
So, according to his sister, they owned the entire Mayberry
Commercial Street?
“Sister, are you telling me the truth? We own the commercial
street?”
“Damn it! I’ve been talking to you for such a long time already
and you actually think I’m just kidding? Why would I joke about this? I
couldn’t get involved in so many industries on my own, and that’s why I used
your identity card. You own half of the commercial street now.”
“I’ve already spoken to Zack, the owner of Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment. Once you arrive there later, just tell him your name and let him
know you’re the second boss!”
“I…”
“Okay, okay, that’s all. I’ve something else to attend to so
I’ll hang up first!”
Beep beepbeep.
Gerald held the phone in his hand and he was completely at a
loss for words.
He had never been to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment before and
he didn’t know what to expect at all.
Gerald took a deep breath before he hailed a cab and headed
straight to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Wayfair Mountain Entertainment integrated dining, entertainment,
and accommodation in one building.
It was a huge manor located on the hillside on Mayberry
Commercial Street.
Gerald raised his head before walking into the manor…
“Sir, please wait!”
Gerald was unexpectedly stopped by a few beautiful ladies as
soon as he entered the manor.
“Sir, did you reserve a place here today?” one of the girls
quickly asked as she looked at Gerald.
These girls were responsible for all the reception work at the
front hall and they were already used to receiving many VIP guests.
However, Gerald was dressed very casually compared to all the
other wealthy and powerful people who usually visited.
Even though the beautiful girls had contempt in their eyes, they
were still very polite towards Gerald.
“I didn’t reserve a seat but I’m here to look for someone,”
Gerald replied as he smiled.
At this time, he glanced at the beautiful girls in front of him
and he finally understood why Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was considered a
fairytale in Mayberry City.
These five or six receptionists looked like students who had
just graduated from college.
They were all extremely beautiful and they had perfect figures
like models.
“You’re here to look for someone? Who are you looking for?”
The beautiful girls could not help but frowned when they heard
Gerald’s words.
At this time, there was a hint of coldness in their voices.
“I’m here to look for Zack.”
Gerald knew that the girls were all looking down on him but he
told them the truth anyway.
After hearing Gerald’s word, the few girls exchanged glances
with one another.
Looking for Mr. Lyle?
Did this poor man know who Mr. Lyle was?
Was Mr. Lyle really someone that he could see whenever he wanted
to?
At this time, they finally concluded that Gerald was just a
pauper who was here to experience what it felt like to be rich.
After all, Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was a famous place
that many could never afford to enter.
There would also be others just like Gerald who would come by to
say they were looking for someone just because they wanted to have a look
around the manor.
However, they didn’t want to put him down.
These beautiful girls were all college graduates. At this time,
even though they despised Gerald for his actions, they tried to remain humble
and polite.
“Sir, you’ll need to make an appointment in advance if you want
to meet Mr. Lyle. Please leave if you have not made an appointment to meet
him.”
At this time, Gerald immediately knew that these girls were
assuming he was there simply because he wanted to have a look around the manor.
After that, he thought about calling Jessica so she could
contact Zack on his behalf.
“Miss Jane, what are you doing? I’ve just realized that just
anyone can step into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.”
The person who just spoke was a young man with oiled hair and he
was dressed very decently as he was accompanied by a glamorously dressed lady
with heavy makeup.
The young man looked at Gerald with a contemptuous expression on
his face as he smiled at the receptionist.
“Sebastian, didn’t you say that this is the most luxurious place
in Mayberry City? Why is someone like him here?” the woman asked in a
coquettish manner.
Some people are just born this way and they do not have the
ability to express their feelings without any sarcasm.
The lead receptionist, Jane, quickly apologized to the young man
and said, “Sorry, Mr. Lewis. We’ll deal with this as soon as possible.”
Sebastian sneered before he said, “That’s good. I will be
hosting a group of my friends from abroad here later and I think this manor is
really the symbol of Mayberry City. Therefore, I hope you won’t degrade this
place without reason. Miss Jane, I hope you understand that my father is very
close to your boss, Mr. Lyle, and they often dine together.”
Sebastian looked even more reputable as soon as he mentioned Mr.
Lyle.
When the woman in his arms heard that Sebastian was acquainted
with Zack, she smiled immediately because Mr. Lyle was a prominent figure in
Mayberry City and she had no idea that Sebastian was so well-connected.
At this time, all the beautiful girls at the reception counter
were also staring at Sebastian because they were all hoping to attract his
attention.
Jane nodded hurriedly before she replied, “Yes, I understand,
Mr. Lewis.”
After that, Jane looked at Gerald with a stern expression on her
face.
“Sir, please leave immediately. Do not cause any trouble for our
establishment. Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to call for security!”
“Okay then. I’ll just step out and make a call first.”
Gerald took a deep breath before he walked out of the manor. He
took his cell phone out of his pocket as he walked out of the manor.
“Damn! What a poser! He’s definitely a faker,” Sebastian said in
a cold manner.
“Please do not be offended, Mr. Lewis. This kind of situation
occasionally occurs at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.”
Jane quickly appeased Sebastian with a smile on her face.
Sebastian nodded before he said, “Oh look. My friends are here
already. Why don’t you come and have a few drinks with us later?”
“I’ll definitely drop by if I have the time, Mr. Lewis,” Jane
smiled reservedly.
Sebastian looked at Jane with a perverted expression on his face
before he nodded. Then, he took his wallet out from his pocket before he walked
towards the front desk to pay for his room.
After that, the group of beautiful girls looked at Jane with an
envious expression on their face as they said, “Jane, do you know Mr. Lewis
too?”
Jane nodded arrogantly as she said, “Of course, we all started
working here after graduating from college. What’s the point of working as a
receptionist here if we don’t actually try to get to know more rich people like
Mr. Lewis?”
“Did you see the coquettish woman in his arms just now? She is a
second-rated actress…Mr. Lewis’ family is focused on the real estate business
and their family has a net worth of more than two billion dollars!”
“Wow! It’s no wonder that his father is acquainted with our
boss, Mr. Lyle. It turns out that Mr. Lewis’ family has such a high net worth
too!”
The receptionists could not stop staring at Sebastian’s back as
they were all obsessed with him.
“Hahaha. Do you know that the man just now was actually here to
look for Mr. Lyle? Mr. Lyle is now busy discussing business with the chairman
of the Mayberry Chamber of Commerce. That guy is seriously ridiculous…” Jane
replied as she laughed.
After that, Jane was preparing to head over to chat with Sebastian
again.
However, as soon as she raised her head, she realized that the
poor man that she chased out had come back in again.
“Why are you back here again?”
Jane was startled.
The other girls also stared at Gerald with contemptuous
expressions on their faces.
