Chapter 50 I Buy It With Him
Gerald was named in public, so everyone looked at him.
Henley sat aside and said with a sneer, “I wonder how Gerald will deal with it. Even if he prepared a gift, it is probably very shabby. Now, with my crystal shoes and the Porsche, if Gerald dares to take his gift out, he will be embarrassed!”
Doreen frowned, but Audrey had a smile.
Keira looked at Gerald. Somehow, Keira had some expectations.
Keira knew about Gerald’s situation. No matter what Gerald prepared for her, even if it was worth just a cent, she
would feel happy.
This feeling was strange.
Gerald touched his nose. Under everyone’s surprised gazes, he stood up and took out the box that he had prepared. He handed it to Keira and said, “I heard Audrey say that you like antiques today. I picked something from All Antiques
with her.”
Gerald did not open the box and just handed it to Keira.
Keira was slightly happy, ready to reach out to take it.
Phillip, who was kneeling on one knee, stared at Keira. He saw the change in Keira’s expression. A wave of anger suddenly rose inside him.
I will humiliate Gerald! Phillip was furious!
Before Keira reached out to take the box, Phillip suddenly got up and grabbed the box. He looked at Gerald and said,
“Wow! I want to see what it is.”
As Phillip spoke, he opened the box, revealing a jade bracelet inside!
“Wow, I heard that before you pretended to be Keira’s boyfriend, you were a laborer,” Phillip looked at Gerald and
said. “This bracelet was bought from a stall in All Antiques, right? The box is quite exquisite. I wonder how much
money you spent. Let me tell you, the things in the stalls in All Antiques are fake. This bracelet is probably just worth a
few dollars. You have been fooled.”
“Ha…”
Beside him, Henley chimed in with Phillip, “Gerald, your gift is so precious!”
Everyone could tell that Henley was satirizing, and the surrounding people burst into laughter.
Gerald touched his nose and did not care about their laughter. He just calmly took the box from Phillip and handed it to Keira.
Keira smiled sweetly at Gerald and said, “Thank you. As long as you give me something, whether it is expensive or cheap, I will be very happy.”
Keira’s voice sounded a bit flirtatious. For the men here who had a good impression of Keira, it was a blow.
Even though Gerald pretended to be Keira’s boyfriend before, after Keira said that, those men felt jealous.
When Doreen heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at Gerald and Keira. A trace of emotion flashed through her eyes, but then it disappeared, and Doreen regained a trace of calmness.
Hazel frowned and pursed her lips. No one knew what she was thinking.
Henley chuckled. He looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, Keira has said so. It will not be right to give her such a cheap
thing.”
“That’s right. Why don’t you help Keira pay for this meal?” Phillip raised his head, looked at Gerald, and said with a
sinister smile.
The price of this meal at the Marriott Hotel was not low. There were forty people there. Even if it was the lowest consumption, it would at least cost thousands of dollars. Moreover, the food that Keira ordered was not low in quality. This was not something that Gerald could afford.
“I agree!” Matthew said with a sneer.
Henley looked at Gerald with a faint smile and said, “Gerald, I think what they said makes sense. After all, the thing you give is too cheap.”
“Henley.” Audrey seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She frowned and said, “This birthday gift should not be valued by money. It’s the thought that counts. Moreover, Gerald’s bracelet is not cheap.”
