“What did you say? He’s driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?” said Waylon, shocked.
Thinking back, Gerald had simply smiled calmly at the side while Waylon was showing off his car earlier.
He had thought that it was jealousy, but Gerald was just having fun looking at the fool showing his Audi A4L car off! With the current price of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, that amount of money could easily buy eight or nine Audi A4L cars!
“As I said before, I won it as a prize! It’s just a vehicle to help me get around,” said Gerald calmly as he smiled.
He then put the jug down and left the ward.
Xella had not said anything, but she now respected Gerald more than she ever had.
He had simply left the ward once the issues had been resolved without expecting any appreciation at all.
In her mind, she knew that even though she had constantly thought that others had been helping her, Gerald didn’t care as long as there were no more issues.
Even by the time Gerald had gotten into his car, his classmates had not moved an inch. They were still staring at each other in shock that he had just left like that.
While Gerald drove on, his phone began to ring.
It surprised him slightly that the caller was Tammy but he still picked up.
“Gerald, please advise Giya to come home. Mr. Quarrington’s been extremely anxious. He’s tried to call Giya several times now but her phone’s probably been switched off. She isn’t even replying to any of my messages anymore! Please advise her, I’ll meet up with her this afternoon!” said Tammy.
Hearing that, Gerald was momentarily stunned.
He immediately stopped his car at the side of the road. “What? What do you mean he’s worried? Hasn’t Giya gone home?”
He knew very well that Giya had said that she would return home before she left. Gerald hadn’t even contacted her at all since then.
He had thought that it was fine just ending it like that.
After all, he couldn’t let her stay, otherwise it would only increase the chances of Mila misunderstanding in the future.
Where had she gone? And why couldn’t anyone contact Giya now?
“…Eh? What? What do you mean by that? I was still able to contact her yesterday before I found out that I couldn’t even reach her anymore today. She had put on a great show and now her father is truly scared. Please don’t pretend anymore, her dad isn’t at my home. Pass the phone to Giya now!” said Tammy.
