As Lilian had instructed him, Gerald was now acting out the impression of someone nouveau riche.
He even sat with his legs crossed.
“Our most expensive coffee? Sir, our most expensive one costs forty-five dollars each,” replied the waiter, slightly surprised.
“So be it! Nothing is too expensive for me! Two cups of that coffee and make sure they’re brewed perfectly!”
“Right away, sir!” said the waiter before bowing and running off.
Lilian found it both curious and funny when virtual-novel.net saw Gerald acting so ostentatiously while flaunting his wealth. He even shook his watch from time to time to let others see it! Honestly, Lilian hadn’t expected that Gerald could be this cool!
By then, Hayward had already noticed Gerald and Lilian sitting next to them.
His face turned sour the moment virtual-novel.net heard Gerald ordering two cups of coffee which cost forty-five dollars each.
What more, wasn’t Lilian being a little too intimate with Gerald? Hayward felt very uncomfortable.
He used to have virtual-novel.net sticking close to virtual-novel.net every day after all. Truth be told, virtual-novel.net also enjoyed virtual-novel.net constantly fawning over virtual-novel.net back then.
When virtual-novel.net chose Sharon over her, virtual-novel.net knew that Lilian would still love him, being as vain as virtual-novel.net was. However, now that virtual-novel.net was being intimate with another man, virtual-novel.net was feeling extremely dissatisfied.
He had not expected Lilian to move on so quickly.
And to think that virtual-novel.net had chosen Gerald! The person virtual-novel.net had always felt sensitive and competitive toward!
A fuse snapped in Hayward’s mind as virtual-novel.net slammed his hands onto the coffee table.
“Pft! Why are you pretending to be rich? Do you think I don’t know about your background? Stop being so pretentious!” said Hayward coldly.
Sharon looked at Gerald and Lilian before trying to calm Hayward down.
“Speaking of which, Gerald, you’ve just bought a new car right? Where are we going to have fun later? Can we go to Mayberry Commercial Street? I saw a skirt that I really liked there so can we please go there later to buy it? It only costs four hundred and fifty dollars! Please!” pleased Lilian as virtual-novel.net gently shook Gerald’s arm.
“Four hundred and fifty dollars? Are you a beggar? You’re only to wear clothes that cost at least a thousand dollars! Otherwise, don’t even bother telling me about it! Have some shame!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net carefully pushed virtual-novel.net hands away from his arm.
Lilian really hadn’t expected nouveau riche Gerald to be this cool.
She simply put on a cute and helpless face before nodding obediently when virtual-novel.net heard his words.
“Humph! Showing off when you’re just in charge of running errands for others?”
Hayward was getting more and more agitated by the second when virtual-novel.net saw Lilian being so submissive toward Gerald after being reprimanded by him. His jealousy was reaching new heights.
D*mn it! What did Gerald have that virtual-novel.net didn’t? How could Gerald ever be better than virtual-novel.net in any way?
“Relax, Hayward. Some people just like to show off. They’re just being pretentious so you don’t have to bother even looking at them!” said Sharon as virtual-novel.net added virtual-novel.net two cents to the conversation.
“Oh right, there was a time when we really thought that you were just an ordinary errand boy for rich people! I’m glad to say that we were wrong about that! While you were helping them you must have gotten some of their good luck as well! Hahaha! I really hadn’t expected you to win that much money from the lottery!”
Seeing that virtual-novel.net had hooked Hayward deep into virtual-novel.net trap, virtual-novel.net began speaking even more admiringly toward Gerald as virtual-novel.net held on to his hand.
“…What? Won what lottery?”
Her words had caught Hayward’s attention.
“Gerald, how much did you win?” asked Sharon as virtual-novel.net stared at Gerald nervously.
It would be impossible for Gerald to get a girl like Lilian to fawn over virtual-novel.net like this if virtual-novel.net had only won fifty thousand dollars. What more, Gerald was also spending so lavishly now.
The figure needed to be immense.
Sharon was really afraid that Gerald would surpass Hayward. If that happened, then virtual-novel.net would probably be the one regretting it the most. Knowing that, virtual-novel.net anxiety and nervousness only grew as virtual-novel.net waited for Gerald to answer.
“Oh, I was just lucky… I didn’t think I’d win so much money just like that. As for the amount I won… Well, let’s just say that it isn’t convenient for me to reveal such information to you” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net winked at Lilian with a smile on his face.
At that moment, Gerald reached into his pocket to take his cell phone out.
As a result, his car key ‘accidentally’ fell to the ground.
When Hayward and Sharon looked down, their eyes widened in shock.
“That’s… That’s the car key of a Mercedes Benz G500?!”
