Leila didn’t say anything else. When he was still rich, she couldn’t deny that she had some feelings for him.
Now, however, she felt nothing for him after witnessing all that he had done yesterday.
“That’s right! He’s come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!” said Leia as she too, laughed.
Leila’s face scrunched slightly when she heard Cindy’s name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling her tales of how he was broke and that he may have pulled her along to cheat her of her money.
Once she heard all that, Cindy looked at Gerald with anxious eyes. “Why did you sell the car, Gerald? Also, why did you sell it for such a low price?”
She was sincerely worried about Gerald.
“I’ll tell you about it if an opportunity arises in the future. For now, I’m just going to go withdraw some money. I’ve an appointment at noon!” replied Gerald as he smiled at Cindy.
He didn’t even bother to look at anyone else as he walked to the counter.
Douglas himself brought the girls closer to the counter to observe Gerald. He wanted them to see Gerald make a fool of himself in front of the others.
“How much money would you like to withdraw, sir?” asked the clerk.
“Ninety thousand dollars, please,” replied Gerald without batting an eyelid.
“Ninety- What?” said Douglas, startled.
Leila was taken aback as well.
The same went for Leia and Cindy’s mother who were already heading back into their office. They froze and turned around in shock.
“Just a minute, sir!”
