Chapter 3 Astronomical Figures for Him

“Hiss!”

Gerald gasped, and his entire body went limp on the sofa!

Before this moment, he was a man who worked his ass off carrying a truck full of cement for 64 dollars.

Now, suddenly, he had 200 million dollars. It was simply unbelievable.

“Respected Diamond Card client, in fact, you do not need to care about the balance on your card. Diamond Card holders are entitled to a lot of things. With your card, you can call up sufficient funds at our bank…” Keira reminded

him.

Gerald paid no attention to her words. The number was astronomical for him!

Countless ideas began to bubble up in his mind!

He thought, the card is real. So, the woman didn’t lie to me. I used to be a member of a secret army, and I am very

powerful! I have untold riches!

Irene and Mary kicked me out because of money. They even took the house that I worked so hard to buy for themselves. Irene hooked up with a rich man. I wonder what they will look like when they find out I’m a super–rich

man.

Gerald did not wait for the director. He withdrew 3,200 dollars and left with Keira’s business card.

He couldn’t wait to say goodbye to his current life.

Before he left, Keira told him that in Los Angeles, he could call her if there was anything. The bank could help solve

everything.

After leaving the bank, he hailed a taxi and went straight to the construction site!

Of course, he wasn’t going to carry the cement anymore. He was going to grab the bag he left at the security booth. It

was things from three years ago, and he had to take them away.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the construction site, Gerald heard someone cursing.

“Where is Gerald? He should have unloaded this car of cement in the morning. Where the fuck is he? Does he want his job or not? Can he take responsibility for delaying the construction period?”

At the door, a chubby man with a hard hat, a suit, and a briefcase was shouting!

It was Gerald’s foreman, Simeon Sainsbury, an extremely mean person.

He was often in arrears of wages.

A slightly emaciated young man walked up to Simeon and said with a smile, “Gerald probably has something to do. When he comes back, I will help him. There is still enough time.”

Gerald felt warm in his heart. The young man was the only friend he had made over the past three years, called Trevon

Nott.

Gerald and Trevon often worked on the same construction site, and their ages were similar. They gradually became familiar with each other.

“Humph! Anyway, it’s his task. If he fails to finish it, I’ll take two days‘ pay off him!” Simeon glanced at Trevon out of

the corner of his eye.

Trevon forced a smile and said, “Well… Simeon, I still have an unpaid salary of more than 1,600 dollars. Can you pay me now? You know, my kid is sick…”

Simeon frowned and scolded, “What are you urging for? The construction period has not been settled yet. The higher–ups haven’t paid me. How could I have the money to pay you?”

“Simeon, my kid’s life depends on it,” Trevon continued.

“I don’t have it!” Simeon glanced at Trevon. Then Simeon took out 80 dollars from his briefcase and said, “Here are

80 dollars.”

“Well…” Trevon was reluctant.

“If you don’t want it, fuck off!” Simeon glared at Trevon and scolded him. “You don’t want the job, do you?”

“He just told you that his kid’s life depends on it!” Gerald let out a breath and said. “You are so mean.”

Simeon turned around. When he saw Gerald, he narrowed his eyes and glared at Gerald. “What does it have to do with you? You want to quit as well, don’t you? I asked you to unload the cement in the morning. Where the hell did you go? You went to slack off, didn’t you? I’ll deduct your salary for two days. Piss off if you’re unhappy!”

Gerald breathed out. He glanced at the bulletin board on the construction site, which had the words “New Bank”

written on it!
