She did indeed have a good impression of Gerald because she felt that Gerald did not only have a good personality, but he was also very practical. Moreover, it seemed as though his background was not as simple as it looked.
She could actually consider getting into a relationship with Gerald and the both of them could become boyfriend and girlfriend.
For this reason, Alice took this initiative to approach Gerald without any hesitation at all.
She wanted to draw Gerald’s attention to herself again.
But the result was…Ahh! She did not want to say anything anymore!
“Hayley, I am going to the washroom!”
She was dumbfounded and quickly came up with an excuse to leave the room.
After that, Jacelyn followed anxiously behind her.
After all, she felt that she was also responsible for the reason why Alice ended up this way.
No one spoke at all in the room.
There was silence in the room for at least ten minutes.
Finally, Harper broke the silence. “No matter what everyone thinks, deep down in my heart, I believe that Gerald is not that kind of person!”
What he said to Hayley in the past was really just a joke between lovers.
However, he never expected Hayley to take his words so seriously.
“We believe in Gerald too!” Benjamin and the other guys also nodded as they looked at Gerald.
“Come on, everyone. Let’s have a drink together!”
Harper suggested.
As a result, none of them raised their glasses aside from Gerald’s roommates.
Gerald felt very embarrassed at this time. Alice had already run away out of anger, and he was already at this point again now.
A good and pleasant birthday banquet had turned out this way.
Moreover, it was all because of him. If he continued to stay here, he was afraid that he would cause any further embarrassment for Harper and Hayley.
If he knew that this would happen, he would not have come at all!
Gerald was about to say that he would also be leaving.
At this time, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. It was Jacelyn who was rushing into the room in a hurry, and she was covering her face with her hand.
“Danny, I got hit! They are dragging Alice along with them now. They want to force Alice to accompany them and drink with them!”
“What?”
After that, Gerald and the rest rushed over immediately.
At this time, the two parties had already confronted each other.
There were four men who were dragging and forcing Alice to drink with them. They were all quite young and they seemed to be students who were about the same age as them.
Chad kept making phone calls on his cell phone, as though he was calling for backup.
At this time, Jacelyn pointed at the four students as she continued cursing at them.
Although Alice did not get hit, everything that happened today made her feel extremely depressed.
“Today, I am going to deal with each and every one of you. Since you dare to hit my sister-in-law, none of you are going to leave this place unscathed today!”
Chad yelled arrogantly after he made the phone call.
He was very familiar with this scene, and he also knew the owner of this place very well.
The four young men were dressed extraordinarily and they were all very unconvinced and displeased at this time. They really wanted to see what Chad was going to do to them.
“Fa la la!”
Not long after, several vans stopped in front of the entrance.
More than a dozen men with a buzz cut stepped out of the car as they entered the manor. The manor was suddenly crowded with people…
