‘How can this poor boy win Jessica’s heart?’

‘How can someone from my family be so rich, yet you don’t even want to look at me?’

‘Is it because Adams was handsome?’

‘Jessica, I will let you know that in this society, money is everything!’

Thoughts flew through Gerrard’s mind. Jessica’s affectionate attitude toward Adams and Adams’ indifferent response to Jessica deeply hurt Gerrard’s self-esteem.

The goddess in his eyes had taken the initiative to please a poor boy, and that poor boy still acted as if it didn’t matter?

‘Jessica treated you this way, yet you didn’t hurry up and be grateful. How dare you act so cold? Who do you think you are?!’

‘You are just a poor boy who has no father, no mother, and a poor family!’

‘Even if you’re handsome, you’re not worthy of Jessica’s favor!’

‘Jessica is mine!’

Thinking of this, Gerrard’s eyes became even gloomier. He wanted to let Adams make a fool of himself and let him deeply realize the gap between him and himself!

After hearing Gerrard’s words against Adams, Jessica’s expression changed. She realized that Gerrard wanted to embarrass Adams.

“What do you mean by that?”

Peter was also getting angry. He could not stand his brother being insulted.

“It’s nothing. I just felt it. Don’t take the initiative to scold me,” Gerrard said hypocritically, but he looked at Adams with even more disdain.

Anyone could imagine who he was targeting.

“Gerrard, don’t go too far!” Jessica said coldly. She absolutely could not see Adams being insulted like this.

Seeing that Jessica was still defending Adams, Gerrard became even angrier. At the same time, he made up his mind to make Adams lose face today!

“What? Did I say something wrong?”

Gerrard pretended to be innocent to show that he was completely unintentional.

“I think what Gerrard said makes some sense.”

At this moment, Lacey, who had circled the limousine a few times, walked over and said seriously, “Some people do not earn a million in their lifetime.”

“Some things do not exist when they are born, so they will not exist when they die.”

Lacey observed Gerrard’s expression as she spoke.

After seeing the joy on Gerrard’s face, she continued, “Gerrard’s family is so rich and handsome. Anyone who is his girlfriend would be so lucky!”

Lacey said the disgusting words that even she felt shameless about as she slowly leaned towards the position where Gerrard was standing.

This million-dollar limousine had already moved her. If she could be Gerrard’s girlfriend, then she would be able to take this car out for a ride every day.

By then, she would receive countless envious gazes and become famous in school!

When Lacey finished speaking, Chris immediately stood on Gerrard’s side.

“That’s right, that’s right. If I could be Gerrard’s girlfriend, I would be so happy!”

“What’s the use of just being handsome? They don’t have any money in my pocket. If I were a poor person’s girlfriend, I might not even be able to afford to eat. Who knows, I might be unlucky one day and starve to death.”

Chris looked at Adams and Jessica as she spoke.

Obviously, she was also on Gerrard’s side.

Gerrard was so rich, being his girlfriend would definitely not be a loss!

“You two!”

Jessica looked at her two good friends who actually went over to help Gerrard deal with her and Adams. She was anxious and angry, but she didn’t know what to do.

“Say another word?!”

Peter’s face was red. His friend had been insulted. How could he not say anything?

Peter rushed to Gerrard and clenched his fist, ready to fight.

“Hehe, you have to think carefully about the price of hitting me?”

Gerrard’s face was full of sarcasm, and he seemed very confident.

He was sure that Peter wouldn’t dare to hit him.

Sure enough, after hearing Gerrard’s words, Peter’s angry face became stiff.

Gerrard’s family was very rich, and it was said that they had some connections with the government. They were rich and powerful.

But Peter’s family was just an ordinary rich family.

They had a little money, but they did not have any power. They could not beat Gerrard’s family at all.

He was not afraid. At worst, he would go to prison, but Peter was afraid that he would implicate his family.

“Hehe, if you don’t dare to hit me, then put your hands down. Don’t dirty my designer clothes with your dirty hands. Otherwise, you won’t be able to pay for it!”

Gerrard pushed Peter’s hands away, tidied his clothes, and said, “Next, who wants to go for a ride in my car?”

Lacey and Chris were overjoyed. They had been waiting for this moment.

“I want to go!”

“I want to go!”

The two replies sounded almost at the same time.

“What about you, Jessica?”

Jessica glanced at Adams, whose face was calm as if he had not been affected at all.

Then she turned her head to the other side and ignored Gerrard.

“Hmph!”

Gerrard snorted and got into his luxury car.

Lacey and Chris also got into the car quickly. They even almost fought over the front seat.

The car started and began to circle around the school gate, attracting the surprised and envious eyes of countless students.

What an expensive car! What a cool car! I really envy the people sitting in the car!

Lacey and Chris, who were sitting in the car, rolled down the window so that they could see themselves outside, were also very excited at this moment.

They saw their classmates’ surprised and envious eyes on them, and their vanity was greatly satisfied.

The two of them raised their heads, like two of the proudest peacocks.

It was as if this car was their home.

Gerrard was driving a luxury car with two beautiful girls in it. Feeling the envious gazes from his classmates, he could not help but feel very proud.

“Hmph, I told you to get in the car, Jessica. Do you regret it now?!”

Adams, who had watched the whole farce without saying a word from the beginning to the end, just waved his hand lightly and said to Peter and Jessica, “Let’s go.”

Then he walked toward the gate.

No one noticed that at the moment he waved his hand, a little bee came out of his sleeve and flew toward Gerrard’s luxury car with a buzzing sound.

The grim reaper had his eyes on him!

The Bumblebee easily caught up with the car. Then it aimed its tail needle at the tire and suddenly sprinted down!
