Can’t You Take A Joke?

[Chapter 45]

Xavia was holding onto Yuri's arm in an intimate manner at this time.

She looked at Gerald, Naomi, and the others in surprise.

Unexpectedly, they could also afford to attend such a high-end occasion.

Gerald looked at Xavia and he saw that she was dressed in gold and silver. After that, Gerald suddenly thought of the diamond ring that Yuri had bought for Xavia earlier today. He must have bought all these items for Xavia to wear to the opening ceremony of Grand Marshall Restaurant tonight.

Xavia looked very proud and happy at this time.

Gerald could not help but think to himself, 'Perhaps Xavia and Yuri are really in love with one another.'

Perhaps he was really just a tool for Xavia to relieve her boredom in the past.

As he thought about it, he felt that he was really ridiculous. To think that he was actually worried about Xavia last night. He did not need to worry about her at all!

"Brother Quinton, you and Gerald unexpectedly know each other too?" Yuri asked in a respectful manner.

In fact, the Lowell family's small factory could not even be compared to the heights of the Ziegler family. The only reason why Yuri could come to the opening ceremony today was because Yuri's mother and Quinton's mother had been college roommates who shared a close relationship with one another and had always kept in touch with one another. When Yuri heard about the opening ceremony, he asked his mother for help and this was the reason he could come here with Xavia tonight.

"They are all Alice's friends. Yuri, do you know them too?" Quinton asked.

"Yes, Brother Quinton! They're from the class next door!"

"Brother Quinton, Gerald is really a piece of trash! This is such a high-end and luxurious opening ceremony but he isn't showing any respect at all! Look at what he is wearing today! He is really lowering the standards here!" Xavia said as she glared at Gerald contemptuously at this time. She even tightened her grasp around Yuri's arm. It was as though Xavia was trying to show Gerald that her life had improved so much after getting together with Yuri.

Moreover, Xavia wanted to show Gerald that she was eligible to come to the opening ceremony of the Grand Marshall Restaurant after breaking up with him. In Xavia's opinion, Gerald was really lucky to have won thirty thousand dollars from the lottery but he was still nothing compared to everyone else!

Quinton was also very satisfied with Xavia's comment and he placed his hands in his pockets as he laughed and said, "If he's going to lower the standard, then just lower the standard. After all, when it comes to elegance and common appreciation, not everyone has a high standard!"

"Hahaha! Quinton is really amazing. What he said is so accurate!"

"That's right, Brother Quinton is right. What he said really made sense. If there are no low standards, then how could there possibly be high standards then?"

"Okay, okay. Let's stop already. Is it really okay to talk about Gerald like this even though it's true? Hahaha…"

This time, Xavia had a tacit understanding with Jacelyn and the rest of the girls as they agreed with what Quinton had just said.

Gerald was also starting to get angry as he listened to what they were saying. At this time, he thought to himself about how much this group of girls loved money. Alright then! He would just throw money at them later.

Okay! He was angry!

At this time, Quinton looked at Gerald before he smiled and said, "Brother Gerald, don't get me wrong. I was just joking. You aren't angry, are you? Well, I know that Brother Gerald will definitely not get angry. Are you really someone who can't take a joke?"

Gerald simply replied in a cold manner, "Quinton, are you deliberately finding trouble with me today?"

Gerald had initially thought that the reason Alice had invited him here today was because she wanted him to mend his relationship with Quinton.

After all, even though he did not get along with Quinton, he had still invited all of them to enjoy dinner with him at the most luxurious and expensive spot in the manor.

He thought that it was only natural to do so.

However, Gerald finally understood that they had only invited him here today to taunt him!

"Oh! It seems as though Gerald is really angry now. Brother Quinton did you a huge favor by giving you the opportunity to come here today and you still dare to lose your temper at him? Hahaha…"

Xavia found it really enjoyable when she saw everyone belittling Gerald. Moreover, she felt even happier when she realized that Quinton seemed to hate Gerald a little.

Therefore, she kept insulting Gerald because she wanted to leave a good impression in Quinton's heart.

"Alright, stop it already. Quinton, where's the table that you reserved for us?" Alice quickly asked at this time.
