Seeing that Rae and the tycoon were there, Waylon was surprised as well.
He got out of his car and leaned against it with one hand in his pocket. He then smiled and said, “Bought it about half a month ago. I finally found a chance to drive it today!”
Waylon was another of Gerald’s old classmates.
Back when they were still in school together, there were only two boys who were very rich and powerful. They still are today.
One of them was Cameron, whose family was related to the health department. The other was none other than Waylon.
Both Waylon and Cameron shared a good relationship back then. They enjoyed messing around during class.
Since the two of them had wealth and power, they both lived good lives even after graduating from high school.
However, Gerald was more interested in Waylon’s relationship with Xella. The two of them had never had a good relationship, even quarreling with each other at times, at least as far as Gerald could remember. They now looked like they shared quite a good relationship.
As they were chatting with each other, Rae pointed at Gerald before saying, “Say, Waylon, Gerald’s here too. Why don’t you talk to him?”
Waylon then finally looked toward Gerald who had been standing beside them all this time.
“Oh goodness! If you hadn’t told me about it, I really wouldn’t have recognized him. You’re here too, Gerald!” said Waylon as he smiled faintly.
Rae simply sneered at that. “What, have you forgotten already, Waylon? You once asked Gerald to lend you his workbook so that you could copy his answers. Gerald didn’t let you so you took a chair and beat him up all the way from the platform to the back of the classroom. I remember him looking scared half to death back then since you did it so harshly,” said Rae as she reminisced.
Gerald was placed in an extremely awkward position as soon as she said that.
He distinctly remembered that incident and it had been a reoccurring bad memory for him. Waylon was like a shadow in Gerald’s heart since he always ridiculed Gerald openly. That wasn’t the only time he had beaten Gerald up either.
It had been so traumatizing that whenever Gerald heard even his name, he grew instinctively frightened.
During that incident, both Xella and Sharon had quarreled fiercely with Waylon because they wanted to help Gerald.
Xella had even taken a textbook and smashed it on Waylon so that she could avenge Gerald.
It was an unpleasant experience as a whole and Gerald could only reply with a bitter smile.
