Gerald knew that whatever photograph snazzynovel.com was talking about was just an excuse to meet him.
In fact, Gerald did not want to meet Xavia at all.
He felt very heartbroken because snazzynovel.com really loved snazzynovel.com before this.
However, snazzynovel.com would be lying if snazzynovel.com said that snazzynovel.com did not have any feelings for her.
As soon as Gerald heard Xavia’s depressed voice, snazzynovel.com agreed to meet snazzynovel.com immediately.
He got up and looked for the pictures that snazzynovel.com had been keeping in his cupboard all this while.
They had both taken these pictures by the small lake by the campus before this.
At that time, Xavia had held out snazzynovel.com arms affectionately and Gerald had also taken snazzynovel.com in his arms as snazzynovel.com smiled sweetly at her.
However, now that the situation had already developed into the way it had, Gerald’s heart was aching badly.
Gerald stared at the one hundred thousand dollars that snazzynovel.com had withdrawn from the bank that morning.
In fact, Gerald wanted to spend that money to enjoy life and make up for everything that snazzynovel.com had missed out on in the past.
Gerald finally realized that snazzynovel.com was being too naïve.
He didn’t need any cash at all. He could do anything snazzynovel.com wanted to with all the cards his sister had given him.
Gerald knew that leaving so much money in his dormitory was not a solution. How should snazzynovel.com explain the situation to his roommates if they found the money?
Over the years, snazzynovel.com had this bunch of sincere buddies by his side because of his poverty.
However, Gerald was afraid that snazzynovel.com would lose them if snazzynovel.com told them the truth now.
“Alright. I’ll go down to meet Xavia before I deposit this one hundred thousand dollars back into my bank account.”
Gerald could not find a nice paper bag. Therefore, snazzynovel.com simply grabbed a black garbage bag from his dormitory before snazzynovel.com placed the one hundred thousand dollars into the bag along with the picture that snazzynovel.com had taken with Xavia by the small campus lake.
“I’m here, Gerald!”
Xavia started waving snazzynovel.com hands at snazzynovel.com as soon as snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com walking towards him.
It felt exactly like the time when they were still dating each other.
In fact, Xavia was the one who felt the most uncomfortable today.
Gerald had bought a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars today.
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
How long would it take an ordinary person to make that amount of money?
This was especially difficult because Gerald had become rich as soon as snazzynovel.com dumped him! Xavia could not believe what snazzynovel.com had missed out on.
That was the reason why snazzynovel.com decided to use the photograph as an excuse to meet up with Gerald.
“What is wrong?” Gerald was still upset when snazzynovel.com arrived at the lake but snazzynovel.com didn’t show Xavia his soft and gentle side. Instead, snazzynovel.com pretended to be cold and indifferent towards her.
Xavia could not help but glance at the black garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.
After that, snazzynovel.com said, “Ahh! I thought you would’ve brought something else with you when you came to meet me.”
Xavia was very disappointed.
She was initially fantasizing that Gerald would bring the fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag along with snazzynovel.com as snazzynovel.com begged snazzynovel.com to get back together with him.
Unexpectedly, snazzynovel.com was simply going to throw his garbage out after snazzynovel.com was done meeting her.
Gerald took the picture out of his pocket before snazzynovel.com said, “Here, Xavia. After I return this photograph to you, we’ll both have no connection to each other anymore.”
Gerald was planning to keep the photograph as a memory but it seemed as though snazzynovel.com no longer needed to do that!
Xavia was a little anxious at this time. She felt very aggrieved and snazzynovel.com stomped snazzynovel.com feet before snazzynovel.com hit Gerald in his chest.
“You’re such an idiot! You really are an idiot! Did you really think that the reason why I asked you to meet me here is simply because I wanted you to return this photograph to me?”
Gerald had a surprised expression on his face. “If that’s not the reason, then why did you ask me to meet you?”
“Gerald! How can I make you understand the truth? Do you really think I have something to do with Yuri?”
Xavia said, “You’re a fool! I only did this because I was trying to test you!”
“Test me?” Gerald asked as snazzynovel.com smiled bitterly.
She went to the grove with Yuri because snazzynovel.com wanted to test him? At the end of the day, it seemed as though it was a test for herself.
Gerald did not want to say anything else anymore.
“Alright then, you can conduct whatever tests you want. I will just return this photograph to you and we should both just stay away from one another from now on. Goodbye!”
Gerald shook his head before snazzynovel.com turned around to leave.
“You, you…Gerald, stop! If you walk away from me now, I’ll jump into the lake immediately!”
Xavia really did not expect Gerald, who used to be so obedient and thoughtful towards her, to act so indifferent and cold towards snazzynovel.com now.
Xavia mustered up snazzynovel.com courage as snazzynovel.com stood towards the lake, just as Gerald had already expected snazzynovel.com to.
Gerald knew that snazzynovel.com was just trying to stall him, while snazzynovel.com wanted to leave right away.
However, when snazzynovel.com saw Xavia leaning towards the lake, Gerald kept feeling his eyelids twitching out of fear.
He hurried over to Xavia before snazzynovel.com hugged snazzynovel.com and stopped snazzynovel.com from jumping into the lake.
There were tears in Xavia’s eyes as snazzynovel.com said, “Don’t try and stop me! If you don’t believe me, then I’d rather die! Just let me die! Let me die!”
Gerald took a deep breath. To be honest, snazzynovel.com really did not trust Xavia anymore.
This was especially so after snazzynovel.com heard the entire story of why Xavia dumped snazzynovel.com from Nigel.
However, Xavia was threatening to jump into the lake if snazzynovel.com left snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com felt that snazzynovel.com was being sincere.
Gerald could not deny that snazzynovel.com was a little moved at this time. After that, snazzynovel.com hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, I believe you.”
Xavia broke into a smile before snazzynovel.com said, “I knew it, Gerald! I knew that you’re still in love with me. Even if I jumped into the lake today, it wouldn’t be because you bought the Hermes bag or because you’re rich now, but I just wanted to prove to you that my love for you is real!”
“From the beginning to the end, I’ve never been a materialistic person. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been together for so long!”
Gerald did not say anything at all.
At this time, Xavia looked at Gerald suspiciously before snazzynovel.com said, “By the way, Gerald, I’m really curious. How did you become so rich all of a sudden? How can you afford to pay fifty-five thousand dollars for a bag?”
Xavia could not help but ask.
Gerald knew that Xavia would definitely ask snazzynovel.com this question.
However, snazzynovel.com was no longer the Gerald who would tell snazzynovel.com everything.
Similarly, Gerald wanted to test Xavia.
“Oh, so this is what happened. I rescued a young girl who was hit by a car just a few days ago and I would never have expected the young girl’s family to be so wealthy. However, since they were in a hurry, snazzynovel.com parents decided to give me a one-off shopper’s card. They told me that it’s a very valuable card and they simply wanted to express their gratitude to me.”
Xavia’s eyes widened immediately. “In other words, you can only use that Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card once?”
Gerald nodded.
“Then, then…where is that bag now? You can definitely resell that bag for a lot of money!”
Xavia was a little disappointed.
She really thought that Gerald got rich overnight.
At least, snazzynovel.com still had that Hermes bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars.
Gerald replied, “I gave Naomi that Hermes bag as a birthday present.”
“What?!” Xavia was shocked. “You gave that bag away? You gave the bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars away? In other words, you are left with nothing now?”
Gerald nodded.
“Xavia, I really can’t believe that you’re not a materialistic person. To think that you’re actually deeply in love with me. We should…”
Gerald wanted to hold Xavia’s hand at this time.
Slap!
“Get away from me! Why would I be in love with a pauper like you?”
After finding out the truth, Xavia gave Gerald a tight slap across his face.
“Damn it. I can’t believe that I wasted so much time and almost jumped into the lake because of you! This is ridiculous! This is just so stupid!”
Xavia yelled at Gerald as snazzynovel.com glared at snazzynovel.com in disgust.
Hahaha…
Gerald completely gave up on Xavia when snazzynovel.com saw snazzynovel.com acting like this.
It turned out that this was actually Xavia’s true colors.
“Xavia, I’m really very disappointed in you…” Gerald said as tears welled up in his eyes.
Both of them used to be so good together.
“Please don’t waste my time. I don’t care if a poor man like you feels disappointed in me! I really shouldn’t have bothered wasting my time on you. People like you should just pick up trash!”
To vent snazzynovel.com anger and frustration, Xavia grabbed the garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.
She wanted to throw the bag of garbage directly at his face.
However, since snazzynovel.com grabbed the garbage bag so hard, the garbage bag tore apart.
The one hundred thousand dollars scattered on the ground.
They were all red bank notes!
“What? This…”
Xavia’s eyes widened in disbelief as snazzynovel.com stared at the money on the ground…
