[Chapter 74]
Gerald smiled as he spoke.
Harper was initially very reluctant to accept Gerald's offer. After all, the clothes were too expensive. He did not want Gerald to spend too much money at this shop today.
Harper also assumed that Gerald had probably spent most of the money he had won from the lottery.
In the end, when Harper saw the affirmative look on Gerald's face, he knew that Gerald was not joking at this time.
Therefore, he simply nodded in response.
In the blink of an eye, Gerald and Harper had already chosen the two most expensive dresses amongst the five pieces of clothing.
"Huh, can you even afford to buy it?!" Xavia was not convinced at all.
After that, Xavia looked at Yuri before she said, "Brother Yuri, I want to buy one too!"
"This pauper can never afford to buy those clothes! He is just being very shameless right now! Xavia, I do not have any more extra money to spend this month!" Yuri suddenly felt very anxious when he saw that he was about to finish spending all the money that he had gotten.
Therefore, he tried persuading and coaxing Xavia at this time.
The salesgirl obviously did not expect Gerald to buy anything at all. After making his selection, Gerald took out his bank card to pay for the clothing.
Two pieces of clothing were already tens of thousands of dollars! Moreover, Gerald even chose the most expensive ones!
"D*mn it! Is he really going to buy those clothes?"
"I thought this was just a drama between the ex-boyfriend who ran into the ex-girlfriend with the new boyfriend! That is why they have a grudge between them. Unexpectedly, he is going to spend tens of thousands of dollars here today. Can this kid truly afford to buy these clothes?"
"Hahaha! It seems as though the new boyfriend is lagging behind right now. Everything depends on whether this ex-boyfriend can actually afford to pay for this clothing."
The crowd of people watched in excitement as they fixed their eyes on Yuri and Gerald.
Yuri was about to lose face again. However, he maintained his calm and composure.
He did not intend to leave at all. He wanted to stay back and watch the show. He wanted to see how Gerald would embarrass himself today.
It was tens of thousands of dollars… If Gerald could take out that sum of money, Yuri would be more than willing to eat shit!
"Sir, have you seriously thought this through? Are you really going to buy these two pieces of clothing?" The salesgirl asked Gerald once more as she held the POS machine in her hand.
"Yes, just these two," Gerald replied.
After saying that, he swiped his bank card on the POS machine.
Everyone stared intensely at the machine until they heard the sound of the machine beeping.
The salesgirl was surprised at first, but when she heard the beeping sound, she was instantly disappointed.
"Um! Sir, it seems as though you do not have enough money on your card!"
The salesgirl finally understood the situation. This young man was simply trying to act tough and prove himself.
In truth, the salesgirl had not expected Gerald to be able to afford to buy any of those expensive clothing that she had shown him.
Gerald had even said so confidently that he would buy the two most expensive dresses. As a result, he did not even have enough money to pay for the items.
Well, what was she thinking? Just one look at this person's dressing and clothing and she would have already known that he did not have any money at all. So, why was she wasting her time on him?
"Hahaha!"
Xavia could not stop herself from laughing out loud at this time. "Gerald, you must be dreaming! Let me tell you something. In the past, I only despised you and broke up with you because you were poor. However, now that I am finally getting to know you better and have seen your true colors, I realize that you are truly a hypocritical and shameless person! I certainly made a wise choice by breaking up with you!"
Yuri also smiled bitterly as he shook his head.
"This brother is really amazing!"
"I actually thought that he might be a wealthy young man!"
Many of the girls who were present at the scene covered their mouths as they laughed and stared at Gerald as though he was a fool.
Harper's face was also flushed red at this time.
Gerald could only scratch his head helplessly.
He suddenly remembered that the minimum transaction limit for his bank card was thirty thousand dollars.
Moreover, he knew that he had about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars left in his black gold card, and the minimum consumption amount was forty-five thousand dollars.
Unfortunately, he completely forgot the fact that his sister had also tampered with his bank card.
Gerald had really wanted to act cool in front of Xavia today to her to know that he was not a good-for- nothing!
Unexpectedly, he had made a fool out of himself. This was embarrassing indeed…
Just then, a clear and beautiful voice suddenly rang out.
"He can definitely afford it. There is probably nothing in our shop that Mr. Crawford cannot afford to buy."
