Gerald felt good about it, but Lilian didn’t resent Hayward at all.
“Gerald, this car must’ve cost a bomb, right? It’s quite a sight!”
Liam walked toward them and smiled at Gerald.
No matter how much the rest mocked him, Liam knew that being friends with him would be advantageous since he personally knew Elena and drove such a luxurious car.
“About 22,000 dollars!” Gerald replied, smiling politely.
They both shook hands.
Meanwhile, Liam’s phone rang.
“Dad? Okay, I’ll go back now!”
Liam hung up his phone. “Hey, Gerald. I’ll have to leave now; it’s really nice meeting you! I’m so sorry, Douglas and Leila, something came up, and I can’t take you guys home.”
“Huh?” Leila was stunned.
They were supposed to hitch a ride from Liam back home since Douglas did not dare drive his car.
Meanwhile, Gerald had already started his car engine, and Lilian was sitting next to him.
Douglas then turned to Leila and asked. “Leila, why not we take an Uber?”
The last time Gerald tried to help him, he got insulted in return, and this time around, he was definitely not going to offer help again.
As she watched them drive off, Sharon was left in a confused state.
Gerald cared about her a lot back in high school. Even when she forgot to take her meals while busy studying, he would brave the rain just to buy her food. Gerald always saw her differently.
Even after three years, despite what she did to him, he still looked at her the same way. But this time, Gerald just grew so cold. He completely ignored her, and she was not too used to it. He did not even look at her when he took the contract from her.
After dropping them off at the station, Gerald booked a hotel room to rest for the evening.
That night, Gerald received a call from his family. It was a classified call that only his family members knew of. Gerald immediately picked up when he realized who the caller was.
