“Pfft! Do you even need to ask? He’s probably here to get what little pocket money virtual-novel.net has left in his bank account! Hahaha! All of you probably didn’t notice, but virtual-novel.net didn’t even have any money in his wallet yesterday!” said Douglas as virtual-novel.net laughed.
Leila didn’t say anything else. When virtual-novel.net was still rich, virtual-novel.net couldn’t deny that virtual-novel.net had some feelings for him.
Now, however, virtual-novel.net felt nothing for virtual-novel.net after witnessing all that virtual-novel.net had done yesterday.
“That’s right! He’s come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!” said Leia as virtual-novel.net too, laughed.
Leila’s face scrunched slightly when virtual-novel.net heard Cindy’s name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling virtual-novel.net tales of how virtual-novel.net was broke and that virtual-novel.net may have pulled virtual-novel.net along to cheat virtual-novel.net of virtual-novel.net money.
Once virtual-novel.net 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 it if an opportunity arises in the future. For now, I’m just going to go withdraw some money. I’ve an appointment at noon!” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled at Cindy.
He didn’t even bother to look at anyone else as virtual-novel.net walked to the counter.
Douglas himself brought the girls closer to the counter to observe Gerald. He wanted them to see Gerald make a fool of himself in front of the others.
“How much money would you like to withdraw, sir?” asked the clerk.
“Ninety thousand dollars, please,” replied Gerald without batting an eyelid.
“Ninety- What?” said Douglas, startled.
Leila was taken aback as well.
The same went for Leia and Cindy’s mother who were already heading back into their office. They froze and turned around in shock.
“Just a minute, sir!”
After Gerald entered his password and validated the transaction with his signature, the money counting machine came to life.
Douglas’s smug smile disappeared in an instant.
“You… you still have money? Didn’t you use all of it to buy that car?” asked Douglas in surprise.
“Did I say I used all of it?” replied Gerald, coldly.
“Then… How much did you actually win?” It was Leila’s turn to ask.
Cindy’s mother and Leia herself had inched closer to the group by then. All of them waited anxiously.
“I won…”
Gerald made sure to keep the suspense up for as long as virtual-novel.net could. He deserved at least that. Once virtual-novel.net had enough, virtual-novel.net smiled and said, “Actually, forget it. It’s not that much. There’s really no need to talk about it!”
“You!” Leila could only manage a single word. She was furious.
Gerald couldn’t fit all the money into his small bag so virtual-novel.net asked one of the cleaning staff there for a black garbage bag. He stuffed the money—all ninety thousand dollars—into it and nodded to Cindy with a smile before leaving the bank with the bag.
“…So… He actually still had money!” shouted Aunt Leia, devastated.
“That Gerald! How much did virtual-novel.net actually win from the lottery?” asked Leila anxiously.
“D*mn it all! I think he’s just doing all this on purpose! He’s just pretending to be poor in front of us!” Douglas was beyond annoyed at that point.
After all, virtual-novel.net had just received a huge mental slap from Gerald. All his intentions of having fun were now down the drain.
As for Gerald, virtual-novel.net soon arrived at the sales office and the salesgirl from before definitely felt the same mental slap that Douglas received when Gerald fully paid for the house in cold, hard cash.
One hundred and five thousand dollars’ worth of cash in one go.
This was a big boss.
