[Chapter 146]
It was only now that Cassandra discovered that everyone else was sitting on a stool and Gerald was happily sitting on her newly bought sofa.
This sofa was rather expensive and it cost her more than one thousand five hundred dollars for the entire set. She couldn't bear to allow someone like Gerald to sit on her sofa!
Cassandra's sudden loud voice startled Gerald.
Wasn't he simply just sitting on her sofa? What was the big deal?
As Gerald knew that Cassandra really despised him, Gerald couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
He stood up as he got ready to sit at the side.
"Hmm…Layla, you can go back with Ywain and the others first. Anyway, what's next up is cleaning. I think that Gerald can settle this by himself."
"Gerald, don't be upset and think that I am targeting you. I'm actually doing this for your own good. Just think about it. Even though you have a lot of money now because you won the lottery, this bit of money won't be able to last you a long time. Just look at you now. You are not even studying as hard as you used to study before this! Layla and the others are all still working and studying hard. I'm worried that you will get left behind if you continue acting like this!"
"Do you know what it feels like to be scrapped?"
Cassandra questioned in disgust.
She has always been this way. She would find all sorts of reasons to justify why she was targeting you.
After all, everyone knew that Cassandra disliked the poor and she favored the rich. But Cassandra really despised people like Gerald in particular, who started off poor but struck sheer luck and won the lottery. She was very jealous and she couldn't comprehend why she could never come across such luck, but instead such good luck had to fall on a man who had never been taken seriously instead?
Cassandra's inner thoughts were pretty self-evident even without having to say it out loud.
Layla and the others really wanted to stay back and help Gerald but they could obviously see that Cassandra was not pleased with Gerald at all. Hence, they left because they did not want to intervene in that situation.
Cassandra pointed at various places before she asked Gerald to clean the place up. She then returned to sit down in her room.
"Fuck! Fuck you!"
Gerald threw the mop down.
Wasn't it damn obvious that Cassandra was bullying him?
He was about to go and confront Cassandra directly this time.
At the same time, Felicity was already crying even more pitifully in the live broadcast room.
"Brother Ordinary Man, please answer me if you are here! No matter what others say about you, I trust you and I believe in you. I know that you really care about me!"
"Yes! Brother Ordinary Man, if you are here, please just say something. At least give Felicity some gifts. Don't let her lose so miserably!"
There were many fans who were desperately pleading with Gerald.
"Hahaha! That scumbag will not dare to come out!"
Quera on the opposite screen replied, as she smiled helplessly.
"Who said that I dare not?"
Gerald finally spoke out.
He began typing directly on the screen.
"Brother Ordinary Man is here! Brother Ordinary Man is here!"
Everyone shouted excitedly.
Swipe! Swipe! Swipe!
Gifts for Felicity were flying all over the sky.
Gifts worth more than thousands of dollars.
With the power of just one person, Felicity's lifeline which had been trampled, was restored immediately.
Quera was a little dumbfounded at this sight of this. What? This Ordinary Man was really rich?
He also had fifteen thousand dollars?
"Damn it! He must have stolen money from his house!"
"How can he be that rich? Isn't he a fake local tycoon?"
"Yes! He must have stolen this money! Brother Champion is the real local tycoon!"
"Exactly! I advise everyone not to be deceived by this kind of illusions. Some people are willing to spend several tens of thousands just to fish for a female anchor that they are interested in. When that time comes and the female anchor actually believes that he is really a local tycoon, then it'll be way too late for the female anchor. This Ordinary Man is probably that kind of person who is just fishing too! Don't be afraid! He will not be able to do anything else soon!"
How the tables turned totally shocked Quera and her fans who were mocking Gerald earlier and they couldn't stand it anymore.
It was simply too embarrassing.
Some of her fans came out to persuade her.
Quera agreed and chimed, "That's right. I really have not heard of anyone named Ordinary Man in our city's live broadcast platform."
But her face suddenly tensed up the instance she saw a piece of news suddenly appearing on the screen of the city live broadcast platform software.
"Warmest congratulations! This live broadcast platform had just received a financing of fifteen million dollars from Mr. Ordinary Man."
"Warmest congratulations! This live broadcast platform had just received a financing of fifteen million dollars from Mr. Ordinary Man."
"…"
The news kept appearing in turns and every single audience could see it clear as the day. It was enough to witness the current uproar of the live broadcast platform company right now!
"Damn it?! Fifteen million dollars?" Everyone on the live broadcast platform exploded.
"What? Plop!"
Gerald was outside the room but he could hear the sound of Cassandra's cell phone dropping onto the ground in her bedroom!
