Chapter 539

“It’s just a coincidence that we decided to come here for our meals too. Bree, who is this?”

Suddenly, one of the men looked at Gerald and asked.

“Oh! He’s my friend. No worries, if you’re busy, just go ahead and get your meals first!”

Hearing that they had addressed her with her actual name, she grew too nervous.

They were not just any strangers but her classmates from her middle school. Besides, they were currently studying at the same university. It was beyond her expectations that she would have bumped into them today since she was quite afraid of a situation like that might happen.

“C’mon, don’t be like this, Bree. Hurry up and introduce him to us. What kind of a friend is this? Besides, he ordered so much delicious food for you. We must know who he is!”

They pleaded excitedly.

“Bree? Isn’t your name Michelle?” Gerald asked in confusion.

“Michelle? That’s Bree’s elder sister. Eh? What’s happening? Wait, you don’t know Xabrina? Then what are you doing here?”

They asked, looking astounded.

“Gerald, just shut up!” Xabrina quickly stood up nervously.

She then dragged the others aside.

It seemed like she wanted to explain the situation to them.

But Gerald seemed to realize something afterward.

He vaguely remembered how Mr. Winters had mentioned that Michelle had a younger sister who was around three years younger.

Could it be that she’s Michelle’s younger sister—Xabrina?

‘So does it mean that Michelle didn’t come for the blind date today? But instead, she asked her sister to take her place?’

‘D*mn it! No wonder she didn’t even show the slightest bit of sincerity in today’s blind date. She even dared to ask me tricky questions about houses and cars rudely.’

A moment later, Xabrina returned with the others. Her facial expression looked tight and worsened.

“Yes, that’s right. I’m Xabrina. Michelle is my elder sister. But do you know why my sister asked me to come? She told me to be here to sound you out. My sister took this matter seriously when Grandpa told her about this, but what you did today is indeed very disappointing. I even told my friends about what you just told me, and even they could prove that you’re just indeed boasting white lies about yourself!”

“Besides, your family’s situation is even worse than we imagine. Am I right, you tell me.” Xabrina rambled on and blamed Gerald.

“That’s true. It turns out to be a blind date. Hey, bro, do you know how beautiful Michelle is? How could you even afford to want to be with Michelle, given the kind of person you are?”

A man taunted coldly.

Someone else sneered. “Michelle was the beauty of our school back when we were studying in Second Middle School. How about you? You’re just a laughing stock from First Middle School. Hah, how well you planned it out, eh! You sucked up to the older generation and got them to be the matchmakers for you. But have you ever thought about it? If Michelle gets together with you, how are you going to support her?”

Another woman said something else too, “Let’s not forget about this too. Just look at the bag I’m carrying now. It’s worth a few hundred dollars. Certainly, Michelle wants something better. How can you ever afford that?”

The women started to condemn him.

“Darling, I like the watch you wear better. This type of watch costs more than a thousand dollars. You’ll feel quite dignified if you wear that when you go out!”

A woman locked her arms in another man’s arm intimately.

She then purposely revealed the watch around his wrist.

After that, she looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, don’t you wear a watch when you go out? Don’t you know that wearing a watch is a sign of maturity for men? Even though you’re unable to afford a good watch like this, I’m sure you’re able to buy a watch which costs only a couple of dollars, right?”

“That’s true! How dare you come out for a blind date with Michelle like this?”

It seemed as though they had discussed well amongst themselves on how to ridicule Gerald. He was their primary target.

Everything that they said sounded overwhelmingly vain and materialistic.

They were just a bunch of rich, young people who were ignorant and mischievous. Gerald had seen much of such show-offs and empty talks when the others showed off their wealth.

Despite knowing that, he still chose not to humiliate them and kept silent.

Whatever had happened was precisely what he wanted since they did not want him to be dating Michelle anyway.

Gerald just wanted to get away and forget about the entire ordeal.

But at that moment.
