“What? Very funny, Cameron! As if Louie could ever be acquainted with Gerald!”
“I know right? The difference between Louie and Gerald’s status is synonymous with comparing a planet with some dirt!”
“You can choose not to believe me, but Xella knows it’s true. She saw it too!”
As he looked at Xella, she simply nodded in agreement.
“Well, d*mn!”
At that moment, several of the classmates began looking at Gerald in a slightly different light.
However, there were also a few others who turned to look at Waylon.
Everyone was aware of the incident where Waylon had severely beaten Gerald up back in high school.
Gerald was somehow rich now, and he was even well acquainted with Louie who was known for having a good rapport with both good and bad guys. How would Waylon respond to that? What kind of face would he make?
On Waylon’s face was a scornful and bitter smile. “So what if he knows Louie? Also, I’m assuming that most of you don’t know about this, but Louie was beaten up by someone in a KTV a few days ago. His father was even warned by that person. What more, their Lourdes Mining Group shares are being taken over by someone else as well! With that in mind, do you still think that Louie is that f*cking great?” said Waylon.
Waylon then continued sharing other information that he had heard regarding what had happened to the Lourdes.
By the time he was done, everyone was finally able to see the entire picture.
“You know Gerald, you look like an honest person! But in the end, you got acquainted with such a person! I would never have expected you to be like that, Gerald!” said Waylon with a smug smile before he continued.
“Are you surprised at how I know all this, Gerald? Unlike some people, I’m not afraid to tell others about these things! See, the person who had framed the Lourdes this time around was none other than the powerful boss from Mayberry, Zack Lyle. He did something to them and whatever he had done, it made them obedient to him. Some time ago, my dad had a meal with Jaxon, more commonly known as Mr. Lyle’s driver. During the meal, Jaxon became so drunk that he ended up telling my dad about it. I was present during that meal and Jaxon even patted me on the shoulder and told me to work harder. I’ve even received his permission to give him a call should anything happen!”
Waylon ended his sentence with a faint smile.
The others were all dumbfounded.
“Mr. Lyle’s driver? Your father knows Mr. Lyle’s driver, Waylon?”
