As for Gerald, he could not tolerate everyone’s questions and inquiries anymore. Hence, he could only come up with a reason to excuse himself in advance.
Anyway, he had already achieved his goal. Hayley’s mother was staring at Harper as though he was a very precious person now.
Gerald then took a cab before he went back to the school directly.
“Sir, stop!” As soon as he arrived at the university gate, Gerald saw the scene before him, and he asked the driver to stop the car immediately.
It was almost night time now, and there were a few luxury cars parked at the roadside near the school gate.
They were several boys who looked like ruffians who were surrounding a girl who was trying to go back into the school. They were obviously trying to block her way, and they did not want to let her go.
The girl looked very angry, and she even slapped one of the boys across his face.
They got more aggravated and violent at this time, and they looked as though they really wanted to hit her now.
The driver also looked at the situation over there, and he could not help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face. “Oh! Nowadays, some of the rich heirs only depend on the wealth and power of their families to do whatever they want. They are all lawless young people. Young man, if you know what is good for yourself, you should just stay out of this matter. There are some people that we simply cannot afford to offend!”
Gerald handed fifteen dollars over to the cab driver. After telling the cab driver that he did not need the change, he pushed the car door open before he stepped out of the car.
He started walking toward the girl who was being surrounded at this time.
The cab driver could not help but glance at Gerald’s back with a little sympathy. “Oh, young lad! I wish you good luck!”
After that, the cab driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away immediately.
“Miss Giya, please do not make things difficult for us. Our boss said that we have to invite you over there to have a drink with him today. There is nothing wrong with accompanying him for a drink, right?” Several young ruffians opened their arms as they surrounded Giya.
There were people passing by at this time, but no one dared to interfere in this matter.
