Chapter 11
Following the public witness of Steven Wes’s humiliation, the mood of the party had rapidly dropped.Everyone in the beautiful hall couldn't believe their eyes. Steven Wes - the same man who had been treated with so much respect during the early hours of the birthday party - was suddenly being dragged out of the Dalton's home, through the hall, in bloody bruises and disheveled clothes.This, as expected, ended up becoming the highlight of this party. Everyone wanted to know what was going on.The same could be said to be going on at Juliet's table, where Amara, Alex, Susan, Freddy, and also Terry were.“Yo! What the fuck just happened?!” Freddy kept tapping his fingers upon the well-decorated table as he whispered to the others at this table. “Did the son of the freaking Wes family just get hauled out of here like a criminal?”Alex had a slightly amused expression on his face as he gave Freddy a side glance.“Why are you even asking this? We all saw it, didn't we? Even if you were hig
Chapter 12
Earlier, Amara had weighed her options - Freddy Vs Steven - and she had quickly found Steven to be far more suitable for her ambitions than Freddy would ever be.Sadly, now that Steven seemed to have been humiliated by the Dalton family, at such a public event, she found Freddy standing alone as her viable option.It has to be noted that Amara was plotting out how to devour her prey which she hadn't even begun to make a move on yet. This was a testament to how much she believed in her own ability to get any man she set her eyes on.Diana, seeing the slight discontentment on her friend's face, shifted her own gaze onto Alex. A devious smirk appeared on her face as she whispered to her Amara continuously.“You know, if you're still not satisfied with Freddy, you can add that Alex guy to your list. His father is worth half a billion dollars and the Lambert family is incredibly loaded. So he's about as good of a catch as Steven Wes. I bet you can easily steal him away from that girlfriend

Everyone at this table was caught off guard by the sudden outburst. They turned around to find the culprit to be Terry Wommack - Gerald's other best friend.As it turns out, Terry has been left at the table when Gerald left the party angrily after being humiliated. And Juliet had gone to speak to her father during the after-party. Thus, he could only remain here, with so many people he couldn't stand for a second.Unfortunately for Terry, he had to listen as these horrible people made fun of his friend. He was holding back all this time as he didn't want to cause more commotion and more embarrassment to Juliet, who was already dealing with so much due to what happened with Gerald and the RFS.But then he had now reached his limits. These people have truly gone too far, and he couldn't keep calling himself Gerald's friend if he just remained seated there while they bad-mouthed him continuously behind his back.He pointed at all of them, eyes gliding from Susan's face to Alex, Freddy, a

After taking a shower, Gerald began to wonder if he should refurbish his entire apartment, especially his bathroom. He had just walked out of a cold shower - something he was used to by now, as he had never been able to afford the monthly subscription fee that is charged for a hot shower - and he wondered how much it would cost for the overall change.Gerald quickly estimated the price to be around $15,000. This amount sent a spike through his heart, but then….“What am I even scared of?” He chuckled at himself. “I currently have $10 million in my account. There's nothing I want right now that I can't afford.”Gerald spoke as he stared at himself in the full-length mirror he had gotten as a gift from Terry. This was because he had arrived on campus one day with his hair looking unkempt. This made people on campus make fun of him. Though none of these people were crueler with their jokes than Freddy. When his friends berated him for looking like this, he confessed that he didn't have

A minute had passed after Gerald declared his intention to pay off his debt. Though skeptical, Lyra Bricks remained outside the apartment with the two heavily built area thugs she had summoned earlier to help evict him. The group of three was now waiting for Gerald to present the landlord with the money he owed her.Gerald quickly realized that he only had the black card containing the $10 million, which he had yet to withdraw anything from. This meant that Gerald didn't have cash on him.“Damn it! I can't just show her this black card. It looks like I'll have to ask for more time to go withdraw from an ATM, then pay her.”Gerald took in a deep breath as he prepared for what would happen when he gave the domineering landlord more excuses. He had declared just now that he had the money. Once he goes out there just to plead for more time, he knows he would only be perceived as a liar.Still, Gerald couldn't find a way around it. He refused to show his black card to any of these people,

Gerald had finally reached his destination. He couldn't help but look up in awe at the sight that greeted him.Aventos Private Bank is well known within the states of California and the United States of America at large as one of the most exclusive banking establishments.In fact, Aventos Bank, unlike most of the other exclusive banks, never reaches out to draw in customers or investors to keep the business afloat. In fact, every single client with a bank account in Aventos Bank had to apply for a spot, one that is only ever granted after many assessments have been done by the bank itself.Aventos has been able to draw in clients this way because of one important thing. It is actually one of the countless properties under the Arnold family's name.This is exactly how the bank has been able to create so many clients despite their stringent rules and intense assessment that they conduct on every applicant. The Arnold family's name is more than enough to guarantee these rich people that

“Tell me. What did the President's office say about my visit? Did you guys finally get the confirmation you had me stranded here for?”Gerald knew this had to be the case. His uncle had suddenly called him this morning to inform him that President Delorean himself was thrilled to meet him. Therefore, he was rest assured that Uncle Sam had warned the president to ensure that his arrival at this bank was as smooth as possible.Yet, the exact opposite happened.The security leader began confessing.“Mr. Gerald, I just got off the phone with one of the president’s secretaries, and I received the greatest scolding of my life. Right now, my position at this bank lies solely in your hands. I've been told that whether I get fired or not is now in your hands.”Hearing these words from their superior, the hearts of all three security guards lurched, and fear rushed through them. The security leader's words not only confirmed that Gerald truly had an appointment with President Delorean, but they

Hearing this, Gerald fought the urge to roll his eyes. It seems yesterday's incident didn't die at the party. Jobless people like Freddy went home to talk about him to them. It also seems like Freddy had talked about his friendship with Juliet Dalton, as well as Terry Wommack. Gerald was lost momentarily, now thinking about his two dearest friends. Thanks to him, people were now gossiping about them as well. He considers himself lucky to have them as his friends. But sometimes, he can't help but feel bad for the bad rumors they end up enduring due to their constant association with him.Gerald was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't see a hand coming towards his face until it was too late.A brutal slap to Gerald's face resounded through the somewhat peaceful atmosphere of the foyer, garnering the attention of everyone there.Gerald stumbled three steps backward, his head tilted to the side by the force of the sudden slap. His head reeled with confusion for a couple of seconds b

Gerald headed to the receptionist table, talking to a male receptionist.But instead of the usual professional smile that every receptionist is required to show, by the nature of their work when greeting a client, this male receptionist held his head high, looking down at Gerald past his pointed nose bridge instead.“Young man, what do you want?”Gerald immediately detected the hostility. The greeting he just received was a stark difference from the usual “Good morning, Sir, and welcome to Aventos. How may I be of service to you today?” Gerald glanced around after hearing the nearby snickers and whispers that followed the rude greeting from the male receptionist. He found that it came from the nearby clients who were being attended to by other receptionists.Gerald noticed everyone near him displaying a disdainful demeanor, clearly directed against his presence. It was like they were making a silent protest that someone like him shouldn't even be near them.Gerald was so over it at t

Gerald was a bit taken aback by this man's aura, refined yet a bit oppressive due to somewhat overbearing confidence that is backed up by his position and the power it gives to his status.As he shook the man's hand firmly, he could have sworn that he felt a jolt of warmth flow into his arm, causing him to almost break a sweat. Gerald realized that this is what having money, power, and status does to someone. It elevates them to a higher level of consciousness, making them radiate a special kind of aura.As fictional as it sounded, Gerald began to grow a hunger for this kind of aura. He now understood how these three things affect someone energetically, and he found himself desiring to shine just like President Delorean.Luckily for him, this was well within reach; he is a member of Arnold's family after all.President Delorean gestured for Gerald to sit first before he settled into his own seat as well.“Mr. Arnold, you have no idea how great it is to finally meet you. Ever since I b
