“Are you crazy? How could the entire Mayberry Commercial Street be yours? Why don’t you go to heaven, then?”
The
girls were looking at Gerald as if they were looking at a fool. As for Bale, he
was laughing so hard
due to Gerald’s remarks.
Mayberry Commercial Street? This guy said that
it belonged to his family. Gerald smiled bitterly. Right at that moment, his cell phone rang.
The call was from Zack.
“Mr. Gerald,
have you reached
yet?”
“Yes, Zack. I’m in the front hall,”
Gerald said.
“Ah! Okay,
okay. Mr. Harrison
and Mr. Henderson
from the Bureau of Education are with
me. We are coming to meet
you there right away! They have long wanted to see you after hearing that you
are going to invest in some public welfare
projects as well as commercial projects.”
“Uh… alright!”
Gerald had not expected the directors to come
so soon, and he hung up the phone after he was done talking.
On the other hand, Mr. Bale and the others were looking
at Gerald in surprise.
“This loser is acting
as though he’s rich. Oh, my gosh! He
even called Mr. Zack intimately. People who don’t know the truth may think
that he is indeed close to Mr. Zack!” The girls
despised him.
“Gerald, I didn’t
expect you to become like this. To be honest, I am
very happy that you have become
like this. Look at what’s become of you after leaving me! Haha!”
Meanwhile, Xavia had a different kind of sick
pleasure. She liked seeing Gerald being humiliated and ridiculed.
The more miserable
Gerald was, the more excited Xavia felt.
In this case, it showed that she did make the
right decision to leave Gerald. Furthermore, he should be getting worse
and worse after
being dumped by her!
Just as Xavia was about to call a
few security guards in to drive Gerald out
and was ready to record the
scene,
a girl standing beside her exclaimed, “Xavia, Mr. Bale, look! Why are there so
many people rushing over here?!
It seems to be Mr. Zack, right?”
“Yeah!
It’s not just Mr. Zack, but also Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson. They are all
people with big names in Mayberry
City. Why are they in such a hurry to come to the front hall? Shit, isn’t that
my dad in the back? Why
is he running toward here too?!” Bale’s
face suddenly turned pale.
His family ran an international trade business.
In the early days, they had started
their family business with the investment of Mayberry International Inc. Now, they had become one of the
most famous and rich families in Mayberry City, and their status was noble.
Although his father
was very respectful to Zack, he had never had to
run toward him.
Furthermore, Mr. Zack, who was the tycoon
of the commercial street,
was running in front of them
all.
“What’s the matter?!” Bale was shocked.
Xavia was also startled to see them running to
the front hall. They all hurriedly
stepped aside in confusion, including the girls. Only Gerald stood still
in the middle of the lobby.
“Gerald, are you looking
for trouble?! Mr. Zack is coming, you should get out of here soon! There must
be famous people coming
too, you should
get out now!” Xavia shouted
in a hurry.
Still, Gerald did not
budge.
Besides, it was too late to move now.
The group of people had already
appeared in the hall.
“Good day, Mr. Zack…”
Xavia and other girls quickly bent over with a dark face, thinking that they
would
be scolded.
However, they were ignored by Mr. Zack and the others.
Zack walked
directly to Gerald
and smiled respectfully. “Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Gerald. Let me
introduce you…”
Mr. Gerald.
The atmosphere instantly tensed, especially Xavia,
whose face was frozen.
“Mr. Zack! How
did you address him just now? Mr. Gerald?!”
Xavia suffered a critical hit as
if she had
been struck by the thunder!
The famous Zack Lyle was being so respectful to Gerald.
Was it
possible that what Gerald had said just now was true? He wasn’t faking his
identity? Oh gosh!
As for the other girls, their mouths were
opened wide as if they could swallow an egg whole at this moment,
not to mention Bale who
was swallowing nervously at the side.
“Yes,
he is the big boss behind all the businesses of Mayberry Commercial Street, Mr.
Gerald. Why are you still here? Who
let you speak? Where is Jane?” Zack questioned them when he saw his waiters being so impolite.
He immediately called
out to Jane who was
behind him. After all, these people had all been invited by Jane.
