The car was his greatest asset and virtual-novel.net was just going to give it to his friend for free?
‘Gerald, this isn’t the time to be showing off!’ Leila thought in virtual-novel.net mind, frantically.
Though Leila had recently started to change virtual-novel.net opinion of Gerald, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but feel angry at his words.
Before this turn of events, Leila had even secretly considered Gerald to be virtual-novel.net boyfriend. Now, virtual-novel.net didn’t even want to think about it!
From an outsider’s point of view, it was almost as though virtual-novel.net 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 his face. He knew that Xeno wasn’t going to accept the car for free no matter what virtual-novel.net did.
However, how could Gerald’s Mercedes Benz G500 make up for the incident that happened back then? Gerald shook the thought off his mind for the moment.
“Seriously, don’t worry about it, Xeno. I’ll explain it to you later. Just buy it for a hundred thousand dollars! Now bring us the contract, buddy!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net patted Xeno’s shoulder.
Xeno went silent and simply complied. He had made up his mind that virtual-novel.net would just return the money to Gerald once the car was sold.
The contract didn’t really matter to him.
As Gerald signed the contract, Leila looked baffled while Douglas was secretly overjoyed.
The car was now officially sold and Gerald would give Willie seventy thousand dollars for his fundraiser.
After doing so, Gerald would only have thirty thousand dollars left.
“Douglas, Leila! My cousin sister sells houses! She’s just opened for business recently and virtual-novel.net hasn’t gotten off work yet at this hour! Since Gerald’s buying a house, why don’t I give virtual-novel.net a call? He can buy it from her! Do know, however, that thirty thousand dollars is barely enough for the down payment!” said one of Leila’s friends who had followed them.
“Go for it!” replied Leila as virtual-novel.net nodded slightly.
Once the down payment was made, Gerald would officially become a pauper again. Aside from his house and the mortgage virtual-novel.net would have to pay, virtual-novel.net would have nothing else.
To Leila, that was the equivalent of Gerald losing all his initial charisma. Any feelings virtual-novel.net had for him, were now six feet under.
Moving back to Gerald, the only reason why virtual-novel.net had promised to give his car up and donate to Willie in the first place, was simply because virtual-novel.net wanted to repay the debt on behalf of his father.
If it wasn’t because of his father, Gerald would be crazy to actually be bothered about someone as minuscule as Willie.
It turned out that the houses Leila’s friend’s cousin sister had to offer were in pretty good locations.
Gerald himself had been planning to buy some houses in Serene County so that virtual-novel.net could arrange for housing and accommodation for some of his executives.
Though his original plan was to buy an entire building so that virtual-novel.net could use it as a staff hostel, it wouldn’t be a problem for virtual-novel.net to check out a house and book one of the units first.
After saying goodbye to Xeno, Gerald left with the group of people.
It was relatively easy to buy a house.
All Gerald had to do was choose from a selection of houses, pay the down payment, and sign a contract. Once that was done, virtual-novel.net only needed to wait for the bank to approve his loan.
“Oh, cousin and handsome Douglas! Thank you so much for your support! Since it’s already so late, please stay! I’ll treat the four of you to supper! Your cousin sister’s treating all of you today!” said the girl’s cousin, happy to have made a sale.
As for Gerald, virtual-novel.net simply stood at the side as virtual-novel.net held onto the house purchase deed and contract. He was the one paying for the house yet the salesgirl simply left virtual-novel.net out of the count.
Of course virtual-novel.net would.
As soon as virtual-novel.net saw Gerald, virtual-novel.net could immediately tell that virtual-novel.net was just some ignorant person who hadn’t seen much of the world yet. She didn’t even bother to flatter virtual-novel.net at all. Once the transaction was done, virtual-novel.net had even less reason to want to even be near him.
“There’s no way we can do that! No matter what you say, I can’t allow you to treat us to supper tonight! Rather, since Gerald bought a house today, virtual-novel.net should be the one treating us!” said Douglas as virtual-novel.net laughed happily.
“Yes! We’ve been running around with you from seven in the evening! It’s almost eleven now! What more, we helped you secure a house for yourself. You know, if you weren’t someone familiar, you wouldn’t even be able to buy this house at this price! You should be thankful!”
