Everyone was equally shocked when they saw what lay inside the parcel.
The receipt that came with the parcel made them even more shocked.
The two bracelets had cost more than forty thousand dollars.
“Hey, we want to see too!”
Jacelyn started jumping and shouting on the other side of the screen.
Harper and Benjamin took the jade bracelets out before showing it to them through his phone’s camera. Gerald’s other roommates continued looking at the boxes
Even the boxes didn’t look cheap.
Everyone was now convinced about one thing. Gerald was rich! That was an undeniable fact,
At that moment, the boy standing by the door started whispering hurriedly, “Gerald’s back! Put it away quickly!”
Harper immediately ended the video call as the other boys hurriedly placed the bracelets back into their original boxes.
When Gerald opened the door to enter the dormitory, he saw that all his classmates were standing. They all looked flustered as they stared at him.
It was a puzzling scene for Gerald so he simply smiled and asked, “What? Do you see money on my face?”
“Gerald, please tell us the truth. Are you really rich now?” asked Harper curiously.
“As if I’ve ever had any money in the first place,” said Gerald reflexively.
“D*mn it! He’s still trying to hide the truth from us! Brothers! Let’s unite and crush him!”
Harper and the rest of the boys then lifted him up together before pinning his arms and legs on a bed.
They turned him around and took his pants off before spanking and tickling him mercilessly.
“Alright! Alright! I surrender! I’m rich now! Stop it already!”
Gerald knew that the cat was out of the bag and there was no point trying to hide it any longer.
