However, he decided to give face to Harper and Hayley. After all, this had happened during Hayley’s birthday banquet.
Gerald was intending to ask Zack if he had any good solutions to deal with this matter.
“Ahh? You’re here too? Crap! Crap! Crap! Who gave you the courage to come here? Why do you even have the face to show up here?”
Jacelyn lost her temper and got very furious when she heard Gerald’s words.
She was even scolding and mocking him now.
Who was the source behind this whole matter?
Wasn’t it all because Gerald was a pathetic jerk?
If it weren’t because of Gerald, would Alice have felt so ashamed that she had rushed to the washroom immediately?
If Alice did not run to the washroom because she was angry, would she have followed her all the way to the washroom then?
If neither of them went to the washroom, would they have provoked someone of William’s background then?
The culprit behind this matter was Gerald!
Yet, he actually had the face to show up here?
Jacelyn jumped off her bed as she raised her hand at Gerald. She really hated this scumbag!
Slap!
The slap that she was planning to give to Gerald did not happen as planned.
As she raised her hand in the air, Gerald stopped her before she could slap him.
“Jacelyn, enough is enough!”
Gerald pushed her to the ground fiercely.
Gerald had a good temper. He usually had a very good temper, but this did not mean that he would not get angry.
He had been belittled by this girl and slapped by her several times.
Xavia was his ex-girlfriend, so he could never bring himself to fight her whenever she slapped him.
But who was Jacelyn to him? Nobody!
Therefore, Gerald could not hold back his anger anymore.
“Ahh! You dared to hit me?!”
Jacelyn acted like a crazy person as she sat on the ground with red and swollen eyes and continued crying.
“Okay, enough! Enough!” Hayley and the other girls hurriedly persuaded Jacelyn.
She had a somewhat disappointed expression on her face as she said, “My dad is at the restaurant, and he was trying to ask someone to put in a good word for us, but the other party turned him down because he said that he was busy. My dad is asking me to go over to the restaurant now because he has already ordered a lot of dishes and cannot ask for it to be returned anyway. Why don’t we go over there together, then? After all, all of you have been accompanying me throughout the entire afternoon.”
After she was done speaking, she looked at Harper and the other boys. “Harper, why don’t all of you come with us too? I finally understand what I have to do now. It is useless for us to continue worrying about this matter now. What’s the big deal? I will just go over to his company tomorrow and beg William personally!”
“Alice, you…?”
Hayley naturally understood the meaning behind Alice’s words. She wanted to stop her but she could not say anything.
Was there any other way out of this?
The crowd of girls went downstairs.
Alice felt very helpless at this time, and what she wanted the most right now was for her father to be by her side.
Jacelyn and the rest of the girls were also very willing to go there. This was because having an adult around them would at least give them a sense of security. After all, all adults were rich in experience. Therefore, they would certainly be better equipped to deal with this kind of situation compared to these young people.
Harper could not bring himself to turn down her request, so they naturally followed them.
Surprisingly, Gerald did not retreat this time.
He simply followed silently behind them.
No matter what it was, he had already encountered this incident today. Therefore, there was no reason for him to just ignore it!
