The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 80

“Shut up, Kyle!” Mila threw the cushion in her hands at Kyle angrily.

“Nonsense! Yes, Gerald won a lottery. But, are you jealous of him?”

Hearing Kyle’s mocking words toward Gerald, Mila felt sick. He even said that Gerald had given his ex-girlfriend condoms. That was just too disgusting. He was clearly insulting Gerald, wasn’t he?!

Mila had always thought of Gerald as her good friend.

“What do you mean, Sister? Are you saying that I’m talking nonsense?”

Kyle mocked him further as he laughed. “If you don’t believe in what I said, you can ask Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union, who is also his coursemate. Even Whitney knows about this. He really did run an errand to get his ex-girlfriend some condoms for the mere sake of ten dollars!”

Mila frowned, and the way Mila’s parents and her friends looked at him changed totally.

“He seemed to be a decent man. I didn’t expect him to be so pathetic for the sake of money!”

“Disgusting!”

They all murmured, judging him.

Gerald took a deep breath and glanced at Victor who had been keeping mum since the beginning.

Victor had known it all along, and he was most probably the person who had told Kyle about this.

Among all of them, Gerald bet he must be the one whom Victor hated the most.

Mila cast a questioning look at Gerald, and Gerald nodded. “Yes, I did.”

He had had no money then. So, was it wrong to earn some living expenses by running errands for other people?

Gerald did not think it was shameful.

That night, Danny had tricked him into sending the condoms to Xavia.

It was a fact, and he did not intend to hide it anyway.

“Gerald, you…” Mila stared at Gerald, her eyes widened in disbelief.

Honestly, Mila had never experienced poverty, but in her mindset, she thought that a person would deem his dignity as something important no matter how poor he was.
