“…Actually scratch that, I guess I can accept you, even if you don’t fulfill all the standard conditions. All you need to do now is sell the car and buy yourself a house. If you can at least do that right, you’ll get a job as a clerk in the public office. You’ll have social insurance and housing funds then. That way, you’ll be able to have a stable life in the future!” “You know, I used to have a subordinate who had a sister just three years older than you. She’s still unmarried. Once you’ve settled down, I can be your matchmaker and help you get a wife as well!” said Willie. Gerald was dumbfounded. So, as long as he was willing to donate money to him, Willie was going to give him such good treatment? Leila, however, was shocked. “Dad… Isn’t that secretary’s sister… You know… Intellectually slow...?” “So what if she is? It’s not easy for anyone to get a wife these days. Look at Gerald’s qualifications! I can’t even guarantee that the other party would be willing to marry someon

The car was his greatest asset and he was just going to give it to his friend for free? ‘Gerald, this isn’t the time to be showing off!’ Leila thought in her mind, frantically. Though Leila had recently started to change her opinion of Gerald, she couldn’t help but feel angry at his words. Before this turn of events, Leila had even secretly considered Gerald to be her boyfriend. Now, she didn’t even want to think about it! From an outsider’s point of view, it was almost as though she considered the car to be hers in the first place. “I can’t accept that! This is a relatively new car, brother! I can’t just take it off you for free! How about this, I have about a hundred thousand dollars on hand right now. I’ll buy the car at the market rate of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars. I’ll pay you the rest of the money once I sell this car off! Deal?” “If that’s the case, you can just buy it from me for a hundred thousand dollars then!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on hi

“What fifteen thousand dollar bank savings book?” asked Gerald, slightly taken aback. Before Xeno could stop him, Gerald had opened the door to see a very anxious Sienna. “Oh, don’t worry about it! I need to use the money!” said Xeno as he smiled. “What are you using it for? And what are you holding in your hand? Oh god, what are you doing with such a big cheque?!” The anxiety in Sienna’s voice only seemed to grow even worse. “The money’s for Gerald! How could we possibly purchase an almost brand new car for just a hundred thousand dollars? What more, it’s a Mercedes Benz G500!” replied Xeno. “And why would it be impossible? What’s wrong with earning some of his money? Xeno, you can’t cheat anyone else of their cash but you can definitely cheat him! Give me the cheque!” yelled Sienna as she snatched the cheque from his hand. “Pfft, we’ve sold the car for a grand total of two hundred and seventy thousand dollars. We already gave Gerald one hundred thousand dollars and we a

It was about the jade pendant. Zack had managed to contact an old, well-experienced master on a jade antique street in Serene County. He was apparently very famous in the local area. What more, he had also been told that the old master had inherited his craftsmanship from his ancestors. This was perfect since Gerald needed an experienced person like this to help identify and appraise such an ancient jade. Gerald decided that he would let the old master have a go at identifying and appraising the jade pendant first. If he couldn’t, Gerald would simply look for other jade masters from all over the country then. After all, if even the dean didn’t know anything about Xara Machamer’s identity, how else would Gerald be able to find out anything about her? His only clue was this jade pendant, and Gerald understood that. Originally, Zack had wanted to accompany Gerald to meet the master. However, Gerald’s father had told him that the fewer people knew about Xara Machamer, the be

“Pfft! Do you even need to ask? He’s probably here to get what little pocket money he has left in his bank account! Hahaha! All of you probably didn’t notice, but he didn’t even have any money in his wallet yesterday!” said Douglas as he laughed. Leila didn’t say anything else. When he was still rich, she couldn’t deny that she had some feelings for him. Now, however, she felt nothing for him after witnessing all that he had done yesterday. “That’s right! He’s come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!” said Leia as she too, laughed. Leila’s face scrunched slightly when she heard Cindy’s name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling her tales of how he was broke and that he may have pulled her along to cheat her of her money. Once she heard all that, Cindy looked at Gerald with anxious eyes. “Why did you sell the car, Gerald? Also, why did you sell it for such a low price?” She was sincerely worried about Gerald. “I’ll tell you about
