“Mr. Crawford, here to accompany your girlfriend for her driving test, are you?”
That day, Sean had already discovered the truth about Gerald.
Just imagine... Two and a half million dollars, all without breaking a sweat.
That was true wealth.
Sean had also heard other rumors. Although they were not directly related to the mysterious Mr. Crawford, he now knew that the manager of the Lamborghini dealership was someone of note within the Mayberry group.
Even he had shown so much deference toward Gerald. It was clear that he was not your ordinary guy!
“No, no… we’re both taking the test!” Although both these people had been rude to him before, seeing this well-mannered reception now, he responded with courtesy in kind.
Irene and Kenneth were utterly confounded by all of this.
This was Sean they were talking about?! Why was he showing such reverence for a penniless wretch like Gerald?!
How could they not be surprised by this?
“In that case, how about this, sir? I just so happen to be headed in the direction of Mayberry University. May I offer you a ride?” Sean said amicably.
He had to make good with someone like Mr. Crawford. It would be of tremendous benefit to him.
Well, since he was going their way… Gerald had no objections, and Mila was okay with it too.
Just like that, Irene and Kenneth were left standing there, gawking as they were left behind.
“That Gerald… Do you suppose Mila was telling the truth? About him being a wealthy heir in secret? Why else would Sean have treated him that way?” Irene’s expression was a sight to behold.
This should have been a rare chance to knock her nemesis down a peg or two. Let her enjoy the bitter taste of defeat for once. Let her know the shame of not even being able to hold up her head.
Vulgar though it may be to be flaunting one’s boyfriend and money, as long as it was something she had that Mila didn’t have, that was reason enough!
