However, he also didn’t do it because Jessica had treated him kindly before.
Regardless, he hadn’t initially dared to return before this chain of events took place. He truly only wanted to get his money and leave this godforsaken place.
He had previously made sure to keep a record of everything that happened while he was dealing with Yunus. He had predicted that if everything went smoothly, Gerald would continue being misunderstood for about a week. If things had gone according to plan, he would have eventually handed the recordings over to Zack anyway once he had successfully hidden himself.
It was just his luck to end up in his current situation. Since there wasn’t going to be an easy way out of this anyway, he knew there was nothing to lose in asking Gerald to take him in.
“You?” replied Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile wryly.
“Forget it. Just leave while you can! Worry not, I’ll forgive you today and I’ll tell my sister not to hold you accountable for your actions as well.”
Since Harry’s face looked naturally wretched, Gerald found it hard to tell whether he truly meant what he said or if he was simply fooling around.
“Wait! As a form of courtesy, I’ll also present you with another big gift, Mr. Crawford! I’m certain that you’ll like it!”
Hearing that, Gerald and Zack exchanged glances. Eventually, Gerald nodded before saying, “Fine. My final decision depends on what the gift is!”
After saying that, he turned around to look at Giya and Tammy.
“Mr. Lyle, please get a car to send the girls home first!” said Gerald, his voice slightly cold and indifferent.
While Giya had hoped to talk more with Gerald, expecting him to show a least a little more concern, he didn’t say a word to her.
Soon after, a car drove over to them. Gerald then entered and left immediately.
Of course, he was doing all of this on purpose. After all, he felt that it would be best for him to continue displaying this attitude so that he would be able to avoid any further misunderstandings in the future.
Giya could feel her heart aching slightly as she watched the car drive off. Was this the future of her relationship with Gerald? Was he going to continue being this cold and indifferent toward her?
Had he lost any affection he had for her as a friend as well?
Haha… That was probably the case.
