"Is he your girlfriend, Elena?"
Upon entering the house, a group of young men and women of about the same age approached them even before the adults spoke a word.
Each of them measured Gerald.
It wasn't long before these people expressed their thoughts.
'Wow, Elena is so beautiful, yet she has terrible taste? It was obvious that his girlfriend was far from it!'
“Elena, we will ask you to join us at the cruise party together, but you always say there is something you should do. Hmmm, so you brought your girlfriend with you! ” said one of the girls.
“Ya, but what a coincidence.. We can go together!” Elena smiled and held Gerald's hand, never letting go of him once.
None of her cousins greeted Gerald at all. Elena knew that they were looking down on her as well. However, he did not dare to reveal Gerald's identity without his consent. Seeing that Gerald looked fine, he felt relieved.
But Gerald was far from happy, numb from attending such events too often. He simply chose to remain silent and keep his composure.
"Okay, Elena, sit down!"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman stood up. She's Elena's aunt, Ruby Larson.
She runs her own beauty company, making annual profits of tens of millions of dollars.
His skin was very well preserved, and he was used to seeing many rich people. When he saw an ordinary person like Gerald, he felt very uncomfortable.
“You must be Gerald! Where do you live? What is your family doing?” Ruby asked.
The group of wealthy heirs sneered towards Gerald.
“I don't think he'll answer that question. His family must be from the countryside, and they have a farm, right?”
“Ugh, I really can't figure out how Elena could find such a shabby looking man when she was so beautiful and rich? If he was my girlfriend, I would jump out of the building and die!”
“Fuck! What are you talking about? Him, the competition for Dickson Wayward?”
On one hand, some men and women crossed their hands as they gossiped about Gerald.
When Amber heard that they were comparing her to Dickson Wayward, she immediately frowned in disdain.
Who is Dickson Wayward? He is the man Ruby introduced to Elena; his family owns a hotel chain. He is a graduate of Johnhurst University and president of the student body of the Department of Economics and Management!
'He's someone with great achievements. This person here would never be a match for him!'
Gerald heard everything because they were all chatting loudly.
He was not angry, just a little depressed.
Is one's wealth really important? When did the criteria for distinguishing between good and bad people change from morality to wealth?
If you have wealth, everything you say and do is always right; but if you are poor, you are nothing!
Gerald recalled all the things that happened in the past.
Only then did he see Amber. “My family is now in a small town in the countryside. My parents run a small business!” Gerald was honest.
“Pfft, he's really from a small village! His parents probably just ran a small kiosk in town..jeez!”.
Amber and the others were even more despicable.
Ruby, who said nothing about letting Gerald sit down, became more serious when she heard this.
“Then, what services do you have to fall in love with Elena? What nerves!”
