Chapter 50 I Buy It With Him
Gerald was named in public, so everyone looked at him.
Henley sat aside and said with a sneer, “I wonder how Gerald will deal with it. Even if he prepared a gift,
it is probably very shabby. Now, with my crystal shoes and the Porsche, if Gerald dares to take his gift
out, he will be embarrassed!”
Doreen frowned, but Audrey had a smile.
Keira looked at Gerald. Somehow, Keira had some expectations.
Keira knew about Gerald’s situation. No matter what Gerald prepared for her, even if it was worth just a
cent, she
would feel happy.
This feeling was strange.
Gerald touched his nose. Under everyone’s surprised gazes, he stood up and took out the box that he
had prepared. He handed it to Keira and said, “I heard Audrey say that you like antiques today. I picked
something from All Antiques
with her.”
Gerald did not open the box and just handed it to Keira.
Keira was slightly happy, ready to reach out to take it.
Phillip, who was kneeling on one knee, stared at Keira. He saw the change in Keira’s expression. A wave
of anger suddenly rose inside him.
I will humiliate Gerald! Phillip was furious!
Before Keira reached out to take the box, Phillip suddenly got up and grabbed the box. He looked at
Gerald and said,
“Wow! I want to see what it is.”
As Phillip spoke, he opened the box, revealing a jade bracelet inside!
“Wow, I heard that before you pretended to be Keira’s boyfriend, you were a laborer,” Phillip looked at
Gerald and
said. “This bracelet was bought from a stall in All Antiques, right? The box is quite exquisite. I wonder
how much
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmoney you spent. Let me tell you, the things in the stalls in All Antiques are fake. This bracelet is
probably just worth a
few dollars. You have been fooled.”
“Ha…”
Beside him, Henley chimed in with Phillip, “Gerald, your gift is so precious!”
Everyone could tell that Henley was satirizing, and the surrounding people burst into laughter.
Gerald touched his nose and did not care about their laughter. He just calmly took the box from Phillip
and handed it to Keira.
Keira smiled sweetly at Gerald and said, “Thank you. As long as you give me something, whether it is
expensive or cheap, I will be very happy.”
Keira’s voice sounded a bit flirtatious. For the men here who had a good impression of Keira, it was a
blow.
Even though Gerald pretended to be Keira’s boyfriend before, after Keira said that, those men felt
jealous.
When Doreen heard this, her eyes narrowed slightly. She looked at Gerald and Keira. A trace of emotion
flashed through her eyes, but then it disappeared, and Doreen regained a trace of calmness.
Hazel frowned and pursed her lips. No one knew what she was thinking.
Henley chuckled. He looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, Keira has said so. It will not be right to give her
such a cheap
thing.”
“That’s right. Why don’t you help Keira pay for this meal?” Phillip raised his head, looked at Gerald, and
said with a
sinister smile.
The price of this meal at the Marriott Hotel was not low. There were forty people there. Even if it was the
lowest consumption, it would at least cost thousands of dollars. Moreover, the food that Keira ordered
was not low in quality. This was not something that Gerald could afford.
“I agree!” Matthew said with a sneer.
Henley looked at Gerald with a faint smile and said, “Gerald, I think what they said makes sense. After
all, the thing you give is too cheap.”
“Henley.” Audrey seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. She frowned and said, “This birthday gift
should not be valued by money. It’s the thought that counts. Moreover, Gerald’s bracelet is not cheap.”
“Yes. It is not cheap for Gerald. Indeed, he does not have much money. I’m not thoughtful enough,”
Henley hurriedly said. “It is difficult for him to spend tens of dollars to buy a bracelet from the stall in All
Antiques.”
Audrey said with a frown, “This bracelet cost Gerald 200 thousand dollars.”
“What?”
In an instant, the hall was in an uproar!
Neither Henley’s gift nor Phillip’s car was worth over 160 thousand dollars.
Now, Audrey said that Gerald spent 200 thousand dollars on this bracelet. This was completely
unexpected.
The hall fell into silence in an instant, including Keira. Her hand that was holding the box trembled
slightly.
Keira did not expect that this bracelet would be so expensive.
Others did not know Gerald. They thought that Gerald was just a poor person.
However, as the manager who received Gerald, Keira knew very well that Gerald was a Diamond Card
user.
Keira looked at Gerald. Gerald still had that indifferent smile on his face.
Henley smiled, “Audrey, I know that Gerald is your assistant. You don’t want to embarrass him, but there
is no need to lie. How could he take out 200 thousand dollars? Were you kidding?”
“Why would I lie to you?” Audrey said. “We bought it from Elliot in All Antiques. If you don’t believe it, you
can ask
him.”
When Audrey finished, everyone fell silent.
In fact, when Audrey stood up to speak, everyone believed her. Audrey’s father, Bradley, was the richest
man in Los Angeles. What Audrey said was trustworthy.
Phillip and Henley were both stunned.
They didn’t expect the bracelet that Gerald took out to be so valuable!
Gerald didn’t mention it before, but Audrey spoke it out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThose men wanted to humiliate Gerald, but they happened to allow Gerald to take the limelight.
Those men thought the gifts they prepared were the best. In comparison, their gifts were overshadowed.
Henley glanced at Gerald and then looked at the serious Audrey. He said in a low voice, “How did he get
so much money?”
Gerald ignored Henley’s words. He looked at Keira with a smile and said, “Don’t worry about this. You
helped me a lot before. This is what I should do.”
“This… is too expensive.” Keira shook her head.
Gerald smiled, “It’s fine. Happy birthday!”
Keira clenched her teeth and gazed at Gerald. Then, she put the box away and felt a little sweet.
Phillip’s expression was gloomy. Then, he gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground again. He held the car
key and flowers and said, “Keira, be my girlfriend!”
Keira pondered for a moment before saying, “No, I can’t accept your gift. It will be bad if your father finds
it out.”
Phillip was stunned, while the others laughed.
Keira bypassed Phillip and said to everyone, “Thank you everyone for your kind intentions. Today is the
happiest birthday I have ever had. Let’s start eating!”
Phillip was a little embarrassed. He stood up with a gloomy face, walked to the seat next to him, and sat
down. He
looked at Gerald with resentment.
Beside him, Matthew flinched, not daring to take out his gift.
The people at the table quietly looked at Gerald and discussed in low voices.
Gerald sat down calmly, with a faint smile on his face. He began to eat heartily.
Phillip saw Gerald’s indifferent face. He felt that Gerald was acting in front of him.
When Phillip thought of what Keira said just now, Phillip became angry.
After a moment, Phillip seemed to have thought of something. A sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he
walked up to Matthew. Phillip patted Matthew on the shoulder, indicating that Matthew should go out with
him.
Gerald saw Phillip’s movement, but he did not care. He curled his lips in disdain.
