Mike Sorenson heard Susan's words over the phone, so he spoke to her.

“Ma'am, please, believe that I'm telling the truth! Both I and the head of security guard were fired that very day. Then Miss Vacker welcomed that young man into the mall to pick whatever clothes and accessories he wanted with the warmest and respectable demeanor I've ever seen. And I've never seen Miss Vacker act warm to anyone in my years of working there! She's the closest person I know!”

Alex and Susan were, safe to say, stunned beyond proper words. They didn't know how to feel, especially when they could see Gerald teasing them with a knowing, clearly gloating in their faces.

None of this made sense.

As for the crowd, there was no need for more proof. Mike Sorenson’s words were the best pieces of evidence they needed to prove that Gerald was the only one sneaking facts the whole time.

“There's no way Gerald is the same person! He truly got his outfit and accessories from Crimson & Crown!”

“Not only that! He see

    Terry was lost in thought as he walked home. He was so deep in a daze that he didn't even realize that he needed to go to the nearest bus stop as his house was quite far from there.Bond of that mattered to Terry though, not right now. He still couldn't believe the mysterious client had suddenly given him $10 million.“Is there such a good Samaritan? What the hell? He spent more than $100,000 in that bar, but he didn't even take a sip of his drinks. He tipped four girls at once but he didn't even have sex with any of them. What the hell is going on?”There were too many abnormalities about the mysterious client. It was even to the point that Terry was starting to doubt if everything that had happened was even real.He looked down at his phone to check his bank account, scared that he would find the $10 million gone from his account.Yet, the $10 million was still in his bank account.It was then that the dopamine finally got. And he screamed out loud.“Oh my fucking God! Fuck yeah! W

    Gerald had his confirmation. Terry had been working as a sex worker without his knowledge.Apparently, the guy had been involved in this nighttime gig long before they even met. After all, Terry was already working at Cheerio-Law Cafe before Gerald met him.“Oh, Terry,” Gerald couldn't help but let out a whisper, his gaze filled with worry and pity. He had no idea Terry had been going through this lifestyle.Of course, Gerald tried not to be the judgemental type. He believed people should be allowed to do whatever they wanted as long as they weren't causing harm to others and to themselves. Life is short, after all.But Gerald was certain that Terry wouldn't be in there if he had other ways of making money.Gerald felt anger course through him as he thought of the greedy cafe manager once again.That man knew that Terry was in a delicate and vulnerable situation, and he was clearly taking advantage of the younger man.He wasn't going to let that shameless manager get away with this, a

    Gerald was angry at this. Terry shouldn't be settling for less. He made so much, too, with his own ability. That greedy manager shouldn't have any claim over it.Sadly, the manager was well aware that Terry was a desperate boy with no one to help him. He began chuckling with an evil tone.He suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Terry by the throat before whispering close to his face.“You dare threaten me about quitting?! Fine then! Go ahead and quit! I would like to see which establishment would hire a disgusting debtor from the slums! Especially when I announce to the cafe community that I fired you for stealing from me!”Terry gasped through his choking. This was something he couldn't afford to deal with. If this manager truly went through with his threat, Terry would automatically be blacklisted and might find it hard to get another part-time job.And Terry needed this job to pay for his sick mother's medication.Understanding all this, Gerald felt a deep pain in his heart. He won

    Gerald had picked the $11 million Bugatti Chiron Profilée as his ride to Cheerio-Law Cafe. His new chauffeur, Richard Silver, was the one driving him there, of course.On his way to the cafe, Gerald kept calling Terry’s phone but it kept stating that it was currently unavailable.Gerald frowned at this as he felt something was off.“It's already nighttime. Terry should have been done with his shift, right? So why is his phone location still showing that he's there?”He later arrived at his destination and to Gerald's surprise, the cafe was closed, as expected. He checked his brand-new phone's location tracker. This phone has the latest designs, which include a superior tracking program installed into its system.Thus, the location showing on his screen couldn't possibly be a mistake, right?Gerald suddenly felt the urge to go check out the back of the cafe building. He used to work here before, and thus, he knew his way around here.The back of the building, where the trash can is pl

    Seeing Gerald's barely hidden reaction towards the food, Manager Hawkins was internally overjoyed. He had been hesitant to surprise the young master, as he didn't want to risk getting him angry.“Sir, I instructed these chefs to cook their signature meals, and together, they made you fourteen different dishes.”Gerald's eyes shifted from the bowls filled with various fruits to main course meals like Ravioli di Erbette, Lobster Bisque, Creamy Garlic Chicken, and Chicken Tagine Makful. There were even desserts like Tiramisu Cheesecake and Lemon Desserts.Gerald paid no attention to the lengthy explanation that these five chefs were giving him about their individual meals, as he began devouring the meals one by one.As Gerald went from one meal to another, he would nod his head without sparing anybody a glance.“Mmmmh! This is good! This one is good too! Oh! I like how this melts easily on my taste buds! Wow! This is so……”Unknowingly, Gerald had turned into a professional food critic.

    The “Sir, can you hear me?” from the other end of the call reminded Gerald that he was still on the phone with the female receptionist.“Um, sure. Have the package delivered to my door.”There was no question to be asked in terms of shadiness. The security downstairs would have made sure that this delivery was legit before even calling to ask for his permission.This is one of the many reasons that the Lavish-Paradise Hotel was incredibly expensive. The security operations here were top-notch, and mistakes were rarely made.Gerald walked out of his office when he heard the doorbell. He checked the LCD screen to confirm that it was a delivery man.He had no worries as he received the package. He returned to the living area and began unboxing this package. He was stunned by what he found.“A phone?”Indeed it was a phone. Warm-Glo Futures was known for creating various kinds of devices, from phones, televisions, and cars, to even household appliances. They're also one of the most soug
