“Pfft! No wonder Queta dared to disobey me today. It turns out she’s gotten herself a boyfriend! Wow, this is pissing me off right now!”
Kaitlyn rolled virtual-novel.net eyes as virtual-novel.net glared at Gerald, who was talking to Queta at that time.
“Kaitlyn, what’s wrong?”
The man leaning against his car door had his hands in his pockets asked as virtual-novel.net threw a quick look at Gerald.
“It’s all because of Queta! All the kids are on vacation today, so we’re supposed to stay back in school to review their homework. But I’ve made plans to go shopping and ask virtual-novel.net to help me review my students’ homework! But look, virtual-novel.net refused to help just because virtual-novel.net boyfriend’s here!”
“I thought that virtual-novel.net actually found a great boyfriend for herself, but virtual-novel.net turned out to be nothing more than a pathetic jerk!”
Kaitlyn cried out in exasperation, explaining the details to him.
She saw that Gerald had on a simple white T-shirt, a pair of sports pants and some sneakers.
She couldn’t be bothered to filter any of virtual-novel.net words.
“That’s right. He thinks that he’s so great just because virtual-novel.net got together with the most beautiful teacher? Hahaha! Kaitlyn, your boyfriend, is still the best! Look, he’s driving a BMW 5 Series — simply too awesome!”
“Of course! It so happens that I’m going out shopping with my boyfriend too. Why don’t all of you get in my boyfriend’s car and we can go together then? After all, we should have a good relationship since we are all colleagues!”
Kaitlyn replied as virtual-novel.net laughed.
She wanted to isolate Queta and make sure that virtual-novel.net was an outcast in the future.
“Yeah, sure!!”
The girls smiled happily as they got into the car and left together.
Gerald wanted to reprimand Kaitlyn.
He could not help feeling enraged, seeing the way virtual-novel.net bullied Queta.
But Queta tugged Gerald’s hand back — virtual-novel.net didn’t want virtual-novel.net to act rashly.
“Damn it! Do they really think they’re so great just because they’re loaded?”
Gerald cursed as virtual-novel.net watched them leave.
They then got into the Mercedes-Benz G500 that virtual-novel.net had parked by the side of the road.
It was almost eleven in the morning now.
Gerald drove Queta to a restaurant.
“Gerald, you said you’ve something important to talk about? What is it?” asked Queta curiously once they had taken their seats.
“Queta, do you know a woman named Xara Machamer?”
Gerald asked forwardly. After all, this matter did not only involve Queta, but it also involved his own life to a certain extent.
This mattered even more if Xara was involved with his father in the past.
Wouldn’t this mean that virtual-novel.net would suddenly have another sister out of the blue?
Gerald felt that the entire situation was just weird—it was best asking Queta himself.
Queta looked stunned when virtual-novel.net heard those two words. She looked at Gerald in surprise.
“You…you…how did you know about her?”
Upon seeing how virtual-novel.net reacted, virtual-novel.net was convinced that this was leading somewhere.
He asked again, “How is virtual-novel.net related to you?”
Queta shook virtual-novel.net head in response as virtual-novel.net said, “I don’t know who virtual-novel.net is. I only know that virtual-novel.net was the one who abandoned me. She’s probably my mother. The orphanage dean only told me about it when I asked virtual-novel.net about it later on.”
“They found me at the entrance of the orphanage, and I was wearing a jade pendant with the name ‘Xara Machamer’ engraved on it.”
Queta carefully examined Gerald before saying, “I have not mentioned this matter to anyone else before. How did you find out about it? Did Drake and Tyson tell you about it?”
Gerald was silent as virtual-novel.net thought to himself for a moment.
He decided not to tell Queta the truth for the time being, as virtual-novel.net did not know how virtual-novel.net was going to explain things to her.
He simply took advantage of the situation and said, “Well, yes. One of them mentioned it to me just randomly. Queta, don’t you want to find your mother or this person named Xara Machamer?”
Gerald quickly changed the subject.
“Of course, I want to find her. But how am I going to look for her?”
Queta replied, “This is one of the reasons why I didn’t want to tell you about this. You’ve already helped me a lot and I don’t want to cause more trouble and inconvenience. Otherwise, I really don’t know how I am going to repay you!”
“What’s the matter? Since you do want to find her, then you don’t have to worry about anything else. I will help you find her!”
Gerald replied and smiled as virtual-novel.net patted Queta gently on virtual-novel.net shoulder.
“Okay.”
Queta replied, nodding slowly.
She then took out a jade pendant that was wrapped in a piece of red cloth.
“Here, Gerald. This is the jade pendant that I was talking about.”
Queta handed the jade pendant over to Gerald.
Gerald looked at it. Wasn’t this the jade pendant in one of the photos that his father had sent to him?
