The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 11
Gerald knew that whatever photograph she was talking about was just an excuse to meet him.
In fact, Gerald did not want to meet Xavia at all.
He felt very heartbroken because he really loved her before this.
However, he would be lying if he said that he did not have any feelings for her.
As soon as Gerald heard Xavia’s depressed voice, he agreed to meet her immediately.
He got up and looked for the pictures that he had been keeping in his cupboard all this while.
They had both taken these pictures by the small lake by the campus before this.
At that time, Xavia had held out her arms affectionately and Gerald had also taken her in his arms as he smiled sweetly at her.
However, now that the situation had already developed into the way it had, Gerald’s heart was aching badly.
Gerald stared at the one hundred thousand dollars that he had withdrawn from the bank that morning.
In fact, Gerald wanted to spend that money to enjoy life and make up for everything that he had missed out on in the past.
Gerald finally realized that he was being too naïve.
He didn’t need any cash at all. He could do anything he wanted to with all the cards his sister had given him.
Gerald knew that leaving so much money in his dormitory was not a solution. How should he explain the situation to his
roommates if they found the money?
Over the years, he had this bunch of sincere buddies by his side because of his poverty.
However, Gerald was afraid that he would lose them if he told them the truth now.
“Alright. I’ll go down to meet Xavia before I deposit this one hundred thousand dollars back into my bank account.”
Gerald could not find a nice paper bag. Therefore, he simply grabbed a black garbage bag from his dormitory before he placed
the one hundred thousand dollars into the bag along with the picture that he had taken with Xavia by the small campus lake.

“I’m here, Gerald!”
Xavia started waving her hands at him as soon as she saw him walking towards him.
It felt exactly like the time when they were still dating each other.
In fact, Xavia was the one who felt the most uncomfortable today.
Gerald had bought a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars today.
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
How long would it take an ordinary person to make that amount of money?
This was especially difficult because Gerald had become rich as soon as she dumped him! Xavia could not believe what she had
missed out on.
That was the reason why she decided to use the photograph as an excuse to meet up with Gerald.
“What is wrong?” Gerald was still upset when he arrived at the lake but he didn’t show Xavia his soft and gentle side. Instead, he
pretended to be cold and indifferent towards her.
Xavia could not help but glance at the black garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.
After that, she said, “Ahh! I thought you would’ve brought something else with you when you came to meet me.”
Xavia was very disappointed.
She was initially fantasizing that Gerald would bring the fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag along with him as he begged her to
get back together with him.
Unexpectedly, he was simply going to throw his garbage out after he was done meeting her.
Gerald took the picture out of his pocket before he said, “Here, Xavia. After I return this photograph to you, we’ll both have no
connection to each other anymore.”
Gerald was planning to keep the photograph as a memory but it seemed as though he no longer needed to do that!
Xavia was a little anxious at this time. She felt very aggrieved and she stomped her feet before she hit Gerald in his chest.

“You’re such an idiot! You really are an idiot! Did you really think that the reason why I asked you to meet me here is simply
because I wanted you to return this photograph to me?”
Gerald had a surprised expression on his face. “If that’s not the reason, then why did you ask me to meet you?”
“Gerald! How can I make you understand the truth? Do you really think I have something to do with Yuri?”
Xavia said, “You’re a fool! I only did this because I was trying to test you!”
“Test me?” Gerald asked as he smiled bitterly.
She went to the grove with Yuri because she wanted to test him? At the end of the day, it seemed as though it was a test for
herself.
Gerald did not want to say anything else anymore.
“Alright then, you can conduct whatever tests you want. I will just return this photograph to you and we should both just stay
away from one another from now on. Goodbye!”
Gerald shook his head before he turned around to leave.
“You, you...Gerald, stop! If you walk away from me now, I’ll jump into the lake immediately!”
Xavia really did not expect Gerald, who used to be so obedient and thoughtful towards her, to act so indifferent and cold towards
her now.
Xavia mustered up her courage as she stood towards the lake, just as Gerald had already expected her to.
Gerald knew that she was just trying to stall him, while he wanted to leave right away.
However, when he saw Xavia leaning towards the lake, Gerald kept feeling his eyelids twitching out of fear.
He hurried over to Xavia before he hugged her and stopped her from jumping into the lake.
There were tears in Xavia’s eyes as she said, “Don’t try and stop me! If you don’t believe me, then I’d rather die! Just let me die!
Let me die!”
Gerald took a deep breath. To be honest, he really did not trust Xavia anymore.

This was especially so after he heard the entire story of why Xavia dumped him from Nigel.
However, Xavia was threatening to jump into the lake if he left her and he felt that she was being sincere.
Gerald could not deny that he was a little moved at this time. After that, he hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, I believe you.”
Xavia broke into a smile before she said, “I knew it, Gerald! I knew that you’re still in love with me. Even if I jumped into the lake
today, it wouldn’t be because you bought the Hermes bag or because you’re rich now, but I just wanted to prove to you that my
love for you is real!”
“From the beginning to the end, I’ve never been a materialistic person. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been together for so long!”
Gerald did not say anything at all.
At this time, Xavia looked at Gerald suspiciously before she said, “By the way, Gerald, I’m really curious. How did you become so
rich all of a sudden? How can you afford to pay fifty-five thousand dollars for a bag?”
Xavia could not help but ask.
Gerald knew that Xavia would definitely ask him this question.
However, he was no longer the Gerald who would tell her everything.
Similarly, Gerald wanted to test Xavia.
“Oh, so this is what happened. I rescued a young girl who was hit by a car just a few days ago and I would never have expected
the young girl’s family to be so wealthy. However, since they were in a hurry, her parents decided to give me a one-off shopper’s
card. They told me that it’s a very valuable card and they simply wanted to express their gratitude to me.”
Xavia’s eyes widened immediately. “In other words, you can only use that Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card once?”
Gerald nodded.
“Then, then...where is that bag now? You can definitely resell that bag for a lot of money!”
Xavia was a little disappointed.
She really thought that Gerald got rich overnight.

At least, he still had that Hermes bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars.
Gerald replied, “I gave Naomi that Hermes bag as a birthday present.”
“What?!” Xavia was shocked. “You gave that bag away? You gave the bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars away? In
other words, you are left with nothing now?”
Gerald nodded.
“Xavia, I really can’t believe that you’re not a materialistic person. To think that you’re actually deeply in love with me. We
should...”
Gerald wanted to hold Xavia’s hand at this time.
Slap!
“Get away from me! Why would I be in love with a pauper like you?”
After finding out the truth, Xavia gave Gerald a tight slap across his face.
“Damn it. I can’t believe that I wasted so much time and almost jumped into the lake because of you! This is ridiculous! This is
just so stupid!”
Xavia yelled at Gerald as she glared at him in disgust.
Hahaha...
Gerald completely gave up on Xavia when he saw her acting like this.
It turned out that this was actually Xavia’s true colors.
“Xavia, I’m really very disappointed in you...” Gerald said as tears welled up in his eyes.
Both of them used to be so good together.
“Please don’t waste my time. I don’t care if a poor man like you feels disappointed in me! I really shouldn’t have bothered wasting
my time on you. People like you should just pick up trash!”
To vent her anger and frustration, Xavia grabbed the garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.

She wanted to throw the bag of garbage directly at his face.
However, since she grabbed the garbage bag so hard, the garbage bag tore apart.
The one hundred thousand dollars scattered on the ground.
They were all red bank notes!
“What? This...”
Xavia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the money on the ground...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 12
Xavia stared at the money scattered all over the ground.
She was very confused.
She would never have dreamt that Gerald’s garbage bag actually contained a pile of money!
“What? This money...”
Xavia did not know what to think. “Gerald, where did you get this money?”
Gerald ignored Xavia.
Instead, he squatted down before he picked up the one hundred thousand dollars from the ground.
“Why do you care? Didn’t you say that I’m not worthy of someone like you because I’m just a poor man?”
After that, Gerald turned around to leave.
Xavia was getting impatient at this time.
If Gerald was really poor and if he had really bought the bag with that one-time shopper’s card, Xavia would not feel that it was a
pity for them to break up.
She would never regret her actions!
However, now Gerald actually had one hundred thousand dollars in cash...

“Gerald, stop! You’d better explain this matter to me. Otherwise, I’ll scream!” Xavia yelled as she jumped anxiously.
She had to figure out the truth.
She didn’t know why she was especially afraid that Gerald had really become a rich man overnight.
Scream?
Hahaha.
Gerald smiled bitterly before he said, “Xavia, you can just do whatever you want to.”
“Ahh! Help! Help me! Someone is trying to rape me!” Xavia screamed as loud as she could.
Even though it was already late at night, there were still many campus couples who were out together.
As soon as they heard Xavia screaming, they looked towards the lake immediately.
“Damn it!”
Gerald would never have imagined that Xavia would actually scream for help and say that he was trying to rape her!
“Xavia, what are you trying to do? Okay, you win and I lose.” Gerald hurried back to Xavia before urging her to shut up.
“Gerald, I just want you to tell me why you have one hundred thousand dollars in cash! Tell me the truth now!” Xavia said as she
frowned.
Gerald had already lost all hope in this woman.
He didn’t want to have anything else to do with her.
Therefore, he decided to continue with his lie just so she would give up on him completely.
“Oh, I have to return this one hundred thousand dollars to someone. Didn’t I tell you about the young girl that I saved a few days
ago? Besides giving me the shopper’s card, they also decided to give me a ten thousand dollar cash reward. However, they
gave me too much and they gave me one hundred thousand dollars instead. That is the reason why I am going to return the
ninety thousand dollars to them!” Gerald said in a sincere manner.
Xavia finally understood the whole situation.

First of all, she knew that Gerald was not a good liar.
Secondly, if Gerald really did become rich overnight, why would he still be dressed so casually?
He did not look like a rich man at all.
After listening to Gerald’s explanation, everything finally fell into place.
Everything finally seemed very logical now.
“I understand now. In other words, aside from the ten thousand dollars in cash, you have nothing left!”
Xavia took a deep breath and she felt as though she could finally let go of Gerald with no regrets at all.
“If you’re satisfied, I’d like to leave now.”
After that, Gerald walked away with the one hundred thousand dollars in hand.
“A poor man will always be a poor man! It’d be better for me to go back to my Yuri!”
Xavia also left in a hurry after staring at Gerald’s back contemptuously.
Gerald couldn’t help but feel very distressed after depositing his money into the ATM machine.
Xavia had changed completely and he could not recognize her at all.
Xavia, Xavia.
If she could just forget about that Hermes bag and if she really did not care whether he had any money, he wouldn’t have minded
getting back together with her.
After all, Gerald did not only have ten thousand dollars. He had countless ten thousand dollars belonging to him!
Ahh!
Gerald sighed as he started walking back to his dormitory.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a phone call from Naomi.

“Gerald, do you want to have some cake? If you’d like to, drop by the girls’ dormitory! I’ll bring you some!”
Naomi had always been very concerned and thoughtful towards Gerald.
In fact, both of them got along very well and Naomi had always felt very happy and relaxed whenever she was with Gerald.
She could also have sincere conversations with Gerald.
Unlike all the other boys, Gerald did not have any bad intentions and he was really her friend because he wanted to be her
friend. He was not thinking of getting into bed with her at all!
Hmm!
“Cake? It’s okay, I don’t feel like eating anymore...”
Gerald laughed. He really cherished his friendship with his only female friend, Naomi.
“Okay then. Gerald, no matter what happened tonight, just remember that you’ll always be my good friend! I really like the bag
that you bought me!”
The both of them continued talking for a short while before Naomi finally hung up the phone.
At this time, many of her friends were waiting in her dormitory.
“Naomi, why are you so nice towards someone like him?”
“Alice, I know that you look down on Gerald, but you have to believe me! He isn’t the kind of person you think he is! He’s a very
genuine and nice person if you’d just try to get to know him better.”
Alice was also at Naomi’s room at this time.
In fact, the person who felt most distressed tonight was Alice.
She was planning to meet a nice guy that she could consider dating tonight but the first person she had encountered was
Gerald. After that, she ended up having good feelings for Nigel, who lost everything overnight.
Alice felt really upset when she thought about how embarrassing it was when they were waiting outside Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment but they could not get in.

It was such an unpleasant experience!
Alice felt that her bad luck had begun as soon as she met Gerald!
That was also the reason why she hated and despised Gerald.
“I can’t believe that he even gave you a fake Hermes bag! I wouldn’t have found that Gerald so disgusting if not for this bag!”
Alice felt very annoyed when she saw Naomi treating the bag that Gerald had given her like some sort of treasure.
She grabbed the bag from Naomi before throwing it into the trash can.
Naomi quickly walked over to the trash can to pick it up.
“Happy birthday, Naomi!”
Before she could do so, some of her good friends from the dormitory next door came over to her room with a big cake with them.
“Ah!! You girls are here!”
Naomi hurried over to the door to greet her friends.
After that, Felicity and Xavia walked into Naomi’s room.
Even though Naomi did not talk to Xavia much anymore because of Gerald, she still greeted her with a smile on her face.
“Wow! Naomi, you must have received a lot of fantastic gifts! How could you actually throw such a beautiful bag into the trash
can? Oh my god. It’s even a Hermes bag!” Felicity said jokingly when she saw the Hermes bag in the trash can.
Felicity Nelson was definitely a goddess because she was so beautiful. Both Felicity and Alice could be considered the two most
beautiful girls in the entire dormitory.
When Alice looked at Felicity, who was equally as beautiful and elegant as herself, Alice could not help but feel a little
competitive.
“Hmm! So, what if it’s Hermes? It is just a fake Hermes bag bought by a very poor man!” Alice said as she frowned.
At this time, Xavia was standing next to Felicity and the expression on her face changed as soon as she saw the Hermes bag
that they were talking about.

She naturally recognized that this was the Hermes bag that Gerald had bought for fifty-five thousand dollars that morning!
She felt very uncomfortable after seeing the bag.
“A fake?”
Felicity picked the bag up from the trash can before she looked at it carefully.
After a short while, Felicity’s eyes widened in surprise as she kept turning the bag around in her hand.
“This...I don’t think that this is a fake Hermes. I think that this is a genuine product!”
“Genuine?” The group of girls in the dormitory were all surprised. “How could that be possible? Gerald is so poor. How could he
possibly afford to buy Naomi a genuine Hermes bag?”
“This bag is a limited edition collector’s item and it is selling for more than fifty thousand dollars!” Alice said contemptuously.
Alice did not know why she could feel her heart beating frantically when Felicity said that the Hermes bag was actually a genuine
product!
“No, I’m certain that this is a genuine product. I’ve touched the genuine Hermes bag in their boutique store and it feels exactly
the same. It’s completely impossible for a fake Hermes bag to have the same texture as the original. I have the phone number of
the manager working at the Hermes boutique store directly opposite our university and I can call her to ask if someone has
purchased this collector’s item from their boutique store. We’ll know the truth then!”
Felicity held the Hermes bag in her hand as if it was a very precious item.
Her remark made all the girls gasp immediately.
At this time, Felicity took out her cell phone as she prepared to call the manager of the Hermes boutique store.
“You don’t need to make the call...” At this time, Xavia suddenly spoke up. In fact, if Felicity wasn’t about to make the phone call,
she wouldn’t want to tell the truth because Gerald had actually bought this expensive bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars for
someone else.
However, since Felicity was going to make the phone call, she decided that she might as well tell them the truth directly.

“This Hermes bag is indeed a genuine product. When Gerald bought the bag this morning, Yuri and I...we were also at the
Hermes boutique store. He paid fifty-five thousand dollars for that bag!”
“What?”
Bam!
Everyone in the dormitory froze in place.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 13
Xavia quickly explained what she had encountered that morning to all the girls in the dormitory.
“Oh my god. It’s actually true! That Hermes bag is actually worth fifty-five thousand dollars!”
“Gerald had always been living off the subsidy from the university and the money he made from running errands for everyone
else. I really didn’t expect him to have such good luck! He actually received such a luxurious Universal Global Supreme
Shopper’s Card!
“Damn it! If Gerald is willing to give me this Hermes bag, I’d definitely be more than willing to spend the night with him!”
“One night? No way! If Gerald is willing to give me this Hermes bag, I’m willing to be his woman for at least one month!”
“Oh, you’re so shameless!”
Even though they all knew that Gerald’s card was just for a one-time use, knowing that the Hermes bag was a genuine one
worth fifty-five thousand dollars was still very shocking to everyone.
Even if they sold this bag, they could easily get forty to fifty thousand dollars!
This was still money!
Alice had a very ugly expression on her face at this time.
She never would have expected Gerald to actually give Naomi a Hermes bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars as her
birthday gift.

She suddenly thought of all the contempt that she felt for him today as well as the envy and admiration that the other girls were
feeling for the Hermes bag at this time.
Alice felt as though she had just been played.
She got even more furious at this time.
“Hahaha. Even if the bag is really worth fifty-five thousand dollars, doesn’t Gerald know that he could have just sold the Universal
Global Supreme Shopper’s Card for more money instead of using it directly? This only proves that this person is very dim-
witted!” Alice said after analyzing the situation.
Xavia also nodded in acknowledgement. “Yes! There’s definitely a problem with Gerald’s brain!”
“Hahaha. Please don’t be jealous! Gerald gave the fifty-five thousand dollars Hermes bag to Naomi as a birthday gift. We should
be happy for her! Naomi, you should treat him to a meal!”
Felicity giggled.
She wasn’t only beautiful but she was also a live broadcaster.
She had already seen a lot in this world.
“Yes, yes! Naomi, you should treat him to dinner!”
“Naomi, can you just lend me this Hermes bag for one day? Just one day!”
All the girls were begging Naomi at this time.
Naomi was in shock. Why should she lend them the bag? The first thing that came to her mind was the fact that Gerald probably
did not know that he could have sold the shopper’s card for more money instead! She was afraid that he had been fooled by the
salesgirl.
After all, Gerald had never experienced this sort of luxury before.
“No, I’m going to return this bag to Gerald. If he decides to sell the bag, he can make at least forty to fifty thousand dollars and
he’ll be able to live a carefree life in university without having to worry about money anymore!”
Naomi thought differently from others and she was actually worried about Gerald.

“No way!”
“No way!”
Unexpectedly, Xavia and Alice yelled out loud in unison.
Xavia was thinking to herself and she really could not accept the fact that Gerald would actually have fifty thousand dollars if that
happened.
She didn’t want that to happen at all.
She didn’t want Gerald to be living a better life after she dumped him.
Xavia wanted Gerald to be poor and miserable without her.
On the other hand, Alice simply hated Gerald.
“Naomi, why would you do that? Gerald was the one who gave you the Hermes bag so why would you return it to him?”
Alice frowned immediately.
Felicity smiled before she said, “It’s such a valuable Hermes bag. You shouldn’t waste it just like that! I want to start a live
broadcast and show my viewers this bag! Do you mind if I do that, Naomi?”
Naomi shook her head as she smiled.
Even though Naomi agreed to allow Felicity to show the Hermes bag on her live broadcast, she was thinking about how she
would convince Gerald to return the bag to the luxury store the next day.
Even if they couldn’t get back the original amount that Gerald had paid for the bag, they could at least get back forty to fifty
thousand dollars.
Click! Click!
The group of girls rushed over to take pictures of the Hermes bag.
The Hermes bag finally fell into Felicity’s hand.
She started her live broadcast immediately.

“Hello, babies! I’ve not seen all of you for a day and I really missed all of you. Besides, I have some beautiful babies with me
here today as an added bonus!” Felicity said as she smiled cutely at the camera.
In a blink of an eye, there were already more than three thousand people watching the live broadcast.
Felicity had already been hosting live broadcasts for more than a year.
Since she was hosting a local live broadcast, most of her fans were her classmates and her university mates.
As soon as Felicity appeared, the discussion in the live broadcast room was extremely lively.
“Damn! This is really a bonus! I really like that tall girl with red hair!”
“Wow! Please give me the number of that beautiful girl with red hair!”
“Oh my god. Felicity, you’re actually friends with Alice from the Broadcasting and Media Department?”
“Ahh! Alice from the Broadcasting and Media Department is simply too gorgeous. You’re taking my breath away!”
On the other side, Alice, who had always had a cold expression on her face, finally smiled when she saw her name on the live
chat.
She did not feel as depressed as she felt when she saw the beautiful Felicity earlier.
She nodded as she smiled slightly at the fans on the screen.
“Wow! Are you guys more interested in the other beauties now? Hmph! I’m so sad!”
Felicity made a gesture as though she was wiping the tears away from her eyes as she showed an aggrieved expression on her
face.
After that, the crowd of people replied immediately.
“How would that be possible? All of you beauties are my wives! I love all of you.”
At this time, the live broadcast room prompted:
The wealthy and young Yuri is now online!

The super wealthy Danny is now online!
When their classmates saw that Felicity was online, everyone started watching her live broadcast immediately.
Felicity was really a very beautiful and gorgeous girl and she was very experienced and professional in her live broadcasts.
Therefore, she was many boys’ dream girl.
However, Felicity also had very high demands and standards.
Both Yuri and Danny, who were from the next class, had already tried to pursue her before but they failed undoubtedly. This was
also the reason why they would both always try to support and help Felicity.
They wanted to get in her good books!
“Babies, you’re all in love with someone else now and I’m already crying! Aren’t you going to send me some gifts? I am giving
you guys the pleasure of looking at so many beautiful girls now!” Felicity said in an aggrieved manner.
Gerald’s roommate, Harper, had always been in love with Felicity.
Therefore, he sent her ten roses at once.
Each rose was priced at one dollar.
“Wow, thank you so much Harper! I’ve received your love!”
Harper then replied, “You’re so beautiful, goddess. By the way, isn’t the bag in your hand the gift that Gerald had given Naomi
today?”
At this time, Harper typed his comment in the live chat.
This instantly sparked a heated discussion among the viewers.
“Damn it! I didn’t even realize that it’s a Hermes bag. Moreover, it seems like it’s the limited edition collector’s item!”
“Oh my god! Felicity, are you getting sponsored by a man? My heart is breaking into pieces!”
Danny said, “Hahaha. Yuri told me that Gerald bought this bag for Naomi with a one-time shopper’s card. Hahaha. I cannot
believe that Gerald is so stupid!”

The netizens then replied, “Oh my god. He must be an idiot!”
Xavia had obviously told Yuri about how Gerald could afford to buy the bag and Yuri had told Danny and his friends about it.
After that, the online discussion revolved around Gerald.
Yuri: “Hahaha. I’m really stimulated by many idiots today. Xavia actually fought with me for the entire day because of what Gerald
did! I really feel as though we wasted a lot of time because of that idiot!”
Harper realized that they were all mocking Gerald.
Therefore, he tried to change the subject by sending Felicity another ten roses, one after the other.
Danny said, “Harper, why are you sending Felicity this broken gift? Can you only afford to send her roses?”
After that, he continued typing.
“Why don’t you send her a rocket instead?”
One rocket cost a hundred dollars.
“Danny sent you a rocket!”
“Danny send you a rocket!”
Danny sent five consecutive rockets in a row!
Felicity, Xavia and Alice were extremely excited at this time. They didn’t realize that it was so easy to make money through a live
broadcast!
Since he did not want to fall behind, Yuri sent Felicity ten consecutive rockets at the same time.
One thousand dollars.
He wanted to wipe out all the bad luck from his encounter with Gerald today.
Xavia was very proud at this time. This was her man Yuri!

Danny then replied, “Hahaha. Harper, I think even if everyone in your dormitory, including Gerald, were to pool all your money
together, you wouldn’t even be able to compare to me! You’re all just six paupers to me! Do you want to compete with me in the
live broadcast room today?”
Harper was furious at this time.
At this time, in Gerald’s dormitory, Gerald sneezed and he woke up from his sleep.
After that, he saw all the messages that his classmates were sending, one after the other.
When he turned on his cell phone, he realized that his classmates were all talking about him and the Hermes bag that Felicity
had shared on her live broadcast.
All the beautiful girls were saying that he was a fool.
What was happening?
Gerald was stunned. Were they mocking him?
When Gerald read through the messages from his classmates he realized that Felicity must have talked about him in her live
broadcast.
Was he a part of her sharing today?
As he thought about it, Gerald quickly logged into Felicity’s live broadcast.
As soon as he logged into the live chatroom, he saw Danny and Yuri insulting and making fun of his roommates.
“Six paupers?”
Gerald smiled coldly to himself.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 14
At this time, Yuri and Danny were creating a scene in the live broadcast room.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”

“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ten consecutive international cruise ships were sent at one go!
The price of each international cruise ship was one thousand dollars!
“Wow!”
“Thank you, Ordinary Man! I love you, Ordinary Man!”
Felicity yelled out in excitement.
Each of the girls could not help but looked at the screen on Felicity’s phone at this time.
This was no ordinary person! He had actually sent her ten international cruise ships worth ten thousand dollars at one go!
Alice and Xavia were slightly surprised at this time.
They already heard that they could make money from live broadcasts a long time ago and they were finally convinced today.
“Ordinary Man, are you from our university? Which department are you from?” asked some of the girls at this time.
At the same time, Yuri and Danny, who were viewing the live broadcast, suddenly felt very languished.
Of course, they had ten thousand dollars. In fact, each of them had around twenty to thirty thousand dollars as their allowance
every month.
However, if this tyrant could swipe ten thousand dollars at one go, he must really be an extraordinary person.
They would never be able to steal the limelight from him!
Felicity was also very excited at this time. “Yes, Original Man. May I know which department you’re from?”
Ordinary Man replied, “I’m from the Language Department!”
“Eh? The Language Department? That’s our department!”
“Apart from Danny and Yuri, who else is so wealthy in the Language Department?”
“I’ve never heard of him!”

All the girls were surprised.
If he was really from the Language Department, then they would have to make sure that they dressed up beautifully in future.
Otherwise, they might lose out on the chance to get together with this ordinary man!
“Ordinary Man, which class are you in? Do you have a girlfriend? If you don’t, I can introduce one to you!”
At this time, Xavia quickly walked towards Felicity as she spoke to the camera.
In fact, Xavia was also an extremely beautiful girl with long legs and pinkish rosy cheeks.
Xavia was also thinking that she should also start a live broadcast so she would be able to make some money and get herself a
rich man so that she could prepare for her future.
Therefore, she could not help but asked the question out of curiosity.
Ordinary Man: “No, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity’s live broadcast.
“Ahh!”
Felicity was so excited she could barely stand still.
All the other girls also took deep breaths at this time.
Felicity asked excitedly, “Ordinary Man, I can find you a girlfriend if you don’t have one. We’re all from the Language Department
anyway! There are so many beautiful girls behind me, so why don’t you tell me who you’re interested in? I’m also available!”
In fact, Felicity was starting to regret doing this live broadcast in front of so many beautiful girls today.

She didn’t want to share her potential suitor with anyone else.
She also felt very uncomfortable sharing this wealthy guy with the other girls.
She glanced at this person’s account and she realized that he was actually a supreme member.
This meant that he had already recharged at least one hundred thousand dollars into his live broadcast account! That was the
only reason why he had that verification icon on his profile.
If she could, Felicity really wanted to do a private live broadcast for Ordinary Man!
However, as she thought about it, Felicity felt that she could also gain a lot of benefits from having the other girls around on the
live broadcast today.
“So, Ordinary Man, what do you think? Which one of these girls are you interested in?”
Felicity asked in a teasing manner.
“Does the girl standing behind you have a boyfriend?” Ordinary Man replied immediately.
The person standing behind Felicity at this time was none other than Xavia.
“Ahh, I...I...I...why don’t you make a guess, Ordinary Man?” Xavia replied in surprise.
She didn’t want to be so straightforward with her answer because she knew that Yuri was probably still watching the live
broadcast.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ordinary Man sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity’s live broadcast.
At this time, the management team for the live broadcast platform took notice of Felicity’s live broadcast because of the twenty
consecutive international cruise ships.
Therefore, the management team quickly promoted Felicity’s live broadcast to the homepage. More and more of their university
mates joined in the live broadcast at this time.

The number of viewers on Felicity’s live broadcast quickly exceeded more than five thousand viewers.
Ordinary Man then said, “I don’t want to guess. Why don’t you tell me the answer directly?”
Xavia took a deep breath and her face flushed red as she said, “I...”
She wanted to grit her teeth and say that she didn’t have a boyfriend.
Felicity was very jealous at this time and she quickly said, “Yes, she has a boyfriend! Her boyfriend is Yuri, who just sent me the
rockets just now!”
Xavia was very annoyed. Did Felicity think she was that great? When she returned to her dormitory, she will look into starting her
own live broadcast in the future! When that time comes, they’ll know who has a higher popularity then!
Hmm!
Ordinary Man: “Hahaha. He actually dares to show off when he’s just sending a rocket? By the way, the bag you’re holding in
your hand seems to be worth a lot of money. I heard that it’s worth over fifty thousand dollars! I think that man who gave you the
bag is the true hero!”
Felicity raised the Hermes bag in her hand before she said, “Wow! Ordinary Man, you can actually tell the value of this bag? You
think that this bag is beautiful too?”
Felicity began to show off the bag in front of the camera.
At this time, Alice, who was standing next to Felicity, quickly barged in and said:
“Brother, I think you’ve misunderstood the situation. The person who gave our friend this bag isn’t a hero! He is just a pauper
from your Language Department!”
Alice couldn’t take it when someone was actually praising Gerald for being a hero.
Therefore, she subconsciously stepped in to explain the truth!
“What if you find out in the future that the person who gave your friend that bag isn’t actually a pauper? What if you find out that
he’s actually a very wealthy and powerful man? What would you do then? Don’t you think that we shouldn’t judge a book by its
cover?”

Ordinary Man spoke up immediately.
Alice replied, “You sound like a very mature and stable man but I assure you that the person who gave my friend this bag is
definitely a pauper! As for how he could afford to buy this bag, there’s actually a long story behind it!”
Alice continued chatting with this Ordinary Man through the live broadcast.
However, she did not know why she had a strange feeling in her heart.
She felt as though this man was very mature and stable. Even though he was very wealthy, he didn’t seem like a dull, ordinary
second-generation rich kid.
Alice would love to have an opportunity to meet up with him.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ordinary man sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity without any hesitation.
Everyone was shocked.
“Ordinary Man, do you want to exchange numbers with me? I can give you a private live broadcast everyday if you want me to!”
Felicity quickly said as she looked in the camera.
However, when Ordinary Man did not reply after a long time, she looked at the list of viewers and she realized that he had
already gone offline!
Felicity felt very dejected. However, he had already given her twenty-five thousand dollars today!
Felicity could not help but feel a little excited.
At the same time, many of the girls had already downloaded the live broadcast software on their phones because they wanted to
find out the details of the Ordinary Man in Felicity’s live broadcast so that they could chat privately with him.
This included Xavia...

At the male dormitory, Gerald could hear Danny from the dormitory next door cursing at the wealthy man who was showing off
his wealth on Felicity’s live broadcast.
He tossed his cell phone aside with a bittersweet smile on his face.
Sure enough, anyone who had more money would always be the winner. He could do anything that he wanted to!
Hahaha...
Gerald was Ordinary Man.
When Gerald saw Yuri and Danny insulting and mocking his own roommates, he instantly recharged one hundred and fifty
thousand dollars into his live broadcast account.
Sure enough, both of them shut up as soon as he appeared.
Gerald could hear Danny still cursing from the room next door, probably because his self-esteem was hurt.
In fact, Gerald was deliberately testing Xavia earlier on the live broadcast.
Just as he had expected, Xavia did not let him down at all. She was really a materialistic girl who was full of greed.
Gerald had completely given up on her!
Since he was already exhausted, Gerald decided to go back to sleep.
The next day, his roommates climbed over the wall at five o’clock in the morning to go back to their dormitory to sleep.
As they had to attend class today, they started running towards the lecture hall immediately after they were done with their
breakfast.
“Gerald, stop right there!”
As Gerald was about to leave the cafeteria, he suddenly heard a girl’s voice stopping him from leaving!
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 15
Gerald turned around as soon as he heard the girl’s voice.

He saw a tall and fair beautiful girl dressed in tight denim cropped trousers and a pair of high heels standing behind him at this
time.
Her hands were on her hips as she glared at Gerald with a look of contempt on her face.
“Gerald, do you really think that it’s okay for you to rely on the student subsidy given to you by the student union when you could
actually buy a luxury product worth fifty-five thousand dollars for yourself? Let me tell you something! We’re not going to include
you in the school subsidy for next year!” the girl said to Gerald in a cold manner.
“Whitney, Gerald got the money as a reward for saving that young girl’s life! The young girl’s parents gave him the shopper’s
card to thank him for his kindness. Why would you revoke Gerald’s subsidy? Do you really think you’re that great just because
you’re the president of the student union?”
The president of the student union glared at Harper with a cold expression on her face without saying anything at all.
“What has this to do with you anyway? Don’t you know that the only reason why Gerald could actually receive a student subsidy
is simply because of the student union? The reason why we fought so hard for his subsidy was because we knew he needed
help! However, he actually bought a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars for himself! Haven’t you heard the rumors that
everyone is spreading around the school today?”
“You caused very serious damage to the student union because of your actions! This action alone is enough for us to revoke
your subsidy!”
Whitney glanced at Gerald with disgust in her eyes. Everyone obviously knew about the Hermes bag because of Felicity’s live
broadcast last night.
Moreover, Whitney was the president of the student union who was also one of the chancellor’s favorite students in the
university.
Whitney Jenkins came from a very favorable family background and she was also very good at what she did. She could handle
many difficult situations and since she was the president of the student union, she was in charge of almost all of the departments
in the university.
All the lecturers and tutors from all the different departments were also very familiar with her.
She had the typical characteristics of a leader and therefore, Whitney did not care about someone who had no money or power
such as Gerald.

However, she respected the fact that Gerald had always been very obedient and willing to do whatever she asked him to do.
That was the reason why she always helped him obtain the subsidy every year.
The other poorer students in the university were all unwilling to act as a free laborer for Whitney just so they could obtain the
subsidy.
This was also the reason why Harper disliked Whitney.
“Gerald, why don’t you tell me what we should do about this?” Whitney asked as she glared at Gerald.
Gerald frowned. To be honest, he no longer needed to rely on the subsidy given by the student union.
However, even though Whitney looked down on him, the subsidy he had received in the past was due to her efforts.
Gerald asked, “So, what do you want from me?”
“Alright then. Since you’re asking, I’ll make sure that you can continue receiving the subsidy if you do something for me. If you do
it well, I’ll forgive you for the damage that you’ve done to the reputation of the student union!”
Whitney was referring to the fact that everyone was scolding Gerald and calling him a fool because he used the shopper’s card
to buy a bag.
Whitney was filled with hatred as she thought about it.
How could this pauper be so lucky? Why would anyone give him a Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card just like that?
Moreover, Gerald had even given someone else the fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag as a birthday present!
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
If he gave it to her, she would be so much happier.
However, Gerald did not say anything to her and he did not even think of her at all! So, Whitney decided to teach him a lesson by
using the subsidy as a bargaining chip.
That fool!
“What do you want me to do for you?” Gerald asked with a calm expression on his face.

“It’s actually very simple. The student union will be holding a big event next week and we need someone to clean the venue up.
Therefore, I want you to clean up the auditorium for us! If you do that, I’ll continue helping you to apply for your subsidy next
year! Don’t you say that I’m not looking out for you, Gerald. I think you should just skip class today. I’ve already prepared a letter
for you!”
Whitney said as she threw the fake letter at Gerald. After that, she turned around and walked away in her high heels.
“Damn it! That woman is such a bully!”
Harper cursed out loud immediately.
Gerald’s roommate, Benjamin was also very furious at this time.
“Don’t worry, Gerald. I think you shouldn’t clean up the auditorium. Do you know how big the auditorium is? How can Gerald
possibly clean up the venue on his own? Let’s just head to class now.”
He patted Gerald gently on his shoulder.
“But what is going to happen to Gerald’s subsidy then?”
Gerald’s roommates were a little worried for him.
After thinking for a short while, Harper finally clapped his hands:
“It’s okay! Why don’t we head to the auditorium together to help Gerald clean up the venue? Since there are so many of us, we
will be able to do it even more quickly.”
“Alright then! That sounds like a good idea!”
Gerald’s roommates nodded in unison.
Gerald felt warmth in his heart.
In fact, even though Gerald had suffered so much humiliation in university for the past three years, he was still very optimistic.
This was because he had managed to meet a bunch of people he could call his brothers because of his poverty.
These were brothers who really thought of what was best for him.

However, Gerald could never allow them to get punished along with him.
To be honest, Gerald really wanted to tell them that he was actually a second-generation rich kid.
However, Gerald was afraid that their friendship would come to an end as soon as he told them the truth about himself.
Gerald felt that their friendship and concern was the true wealth to him and he didn’t want to lose that!
“Forget it. I’ll clean up the venue on my own. It wouldn’t be the first time that I’ll be cleaning up the auditorium all by myself
anyway. Moreover, all of you won’t be as skillful as I am and I think you won’t be able to help out much even if you did come with
me!”
After thinking about it, Gerald decided not to reveal his identity yet.
Therefore, he could only endure this for the time being.
After that, Gerald headed to the auditorium by himself.
“Gerald, why did you take so long to come here? Do you really think you’re that great just because you bought a new bag?”
Whitney started insulting Gerald as soon as he stepped into the auditorium.
“Hahaha!”
Everyone who were rehearsing for the upcoming event in the auditorium burst out in laughter as soon as they heard Whitney’s
words.
This was because they would be putting up a performance next week.
Therefore, Whitney decided to ask the team from the student union department to rehearse for their performance here.
“Don’t say that! After all, he could afford to buy a bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars! How can we even be compared to him?”
“Yes, you better be careful when you speak, president! Otherwise, Gerald might actually turn out to be a wealthy and powerful
man who can throw money at your face!”
The group of girls looked at Gerald as they laughed out loud.
Moreover, the group of boys were staring at Gerald with an envious expression on their faces.

In fact, they were all jealous. They were jealous of Gerald’s luck.
If they had fifty five-thousand dollars, they could buy the bag and give it to their president, Whitney, instead!
Gerald turned a deaf ear to them and he did not even bother to reply at all.
After that, he picked up a broom as he prepared to clean up the mess that they had left behind.
“Go away! Do you really think you’re a wealthy and powerful man now?”
At this time, a tall and muscular boy came over as he pushed Gerald aside in a harsh manner.
Gerald nearly fell down because of him.
Of course, Gerald knew who the boy was. His name was Victor Wright and he was the vice president of the student union and
also the captain of the university’s basketball team.
His family specialized in trade and he was also very rich.
He also contributed a fair share to all of the humiliation that Gerald had suffered in his three years of university life.
“Victor! Why are you here?”
Whitney was very surprised and cheered up as soon as she saw Victor.
This was because Victor was the type of guy that Whitney was interested in. He was not only tall, handsome, and wealthy, but he
was also a very good basketball player.
He was the type of boy that girls would fall head over heels in love with.
At the same time, many girls from the performing team looked at Victor as they blushed slightly.
“Oh! I’m here because I went out early to modify my car today,” Victor replied as he took a sip of water.
“Car? What? Victor, did you buy a car?”
Some of the girls asked in surprise.
“Hahaha. Yes, I bought an Audi A6 just to use it for fun!” Victor replied as he chuckled.

“Wow!”
All the beautiful girls were very impressed at this time
Even Whitney was slightly moved when she heard his words. “Is your car domestic or imported?”
In fact, it did not matter whether the car was domestic or imported because an Audi A6 was a very powerful car.
“Imported! My dad’s friend helped me to get it for one hundred thousand dollars cheaper! Hahaha,” Victor replied as he smiled.
At this time, there was a strange expression on Whitney’s face.
Moreover, Gerald, who was sweeping the floor, couldn’t help eavesdropping on their conversation when he heard that they were
talking about cars.
Gerald had always dreamt of owning his own car.
He did not care about the brand of type of car as long as it was a car!
Why was this his dream? This was because in the past, Gerald would never have been able to afford to buy a car at all.
Therefore, he was very curious as he listened to their discussion.
He was very distracted at this time.
He didn’t even realize that his broom was sweeping over a girl’s feet as she sat on the rostrum.
“Ahh!”
Gerald only realized what he had done when the girl screamed out loud.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 16
Gerald accidentally swept the broom over the girl’s feet.
She was wearing a pair of white shoes and her calves were extremely fair. She was also carefully listening to Victor as he talked
about his car, her full attention on Victor’s words.
Unexpectedly, Gerald had actually swept the dirty broom over her shoes, smearing dust all over her white shoes.

She couldn’t help but scream when she realized what was happening.
Her scream unexpectedly attracted the attention of Whitney, Victor, and the others who were in the auditorium at this time.
“What’s wrong, Mila?”
Whitney hurried over before she asked Mila with a concerned expression on her face.
Victor also rushed over to Mila immediately.
“No, no, I’m fine. There’s no problem at all.”
Mila Smith tucked her hair behind her ear and she took out some wet wipes before she leaned down and attempted to wipe the
dust off from her shoes.
However, the more she tried to wipe her shoes, the dirtier they got.
Mila was also obsessed with cleanliness. Therefore, she couldn’t help but frown when she saw the mess on her white shoes.
“Gerald, did you do that to Mila’s shoes?” Whitney asked as she glared at Gerald.
She had a cold and aggressive expression on her face.
Moreover, Victor was also very angry at this time.
“Damn it, you pauper! Do you know how much Mila’s shoes cost? You’ll never be able to afford to pay for it!”
After that, Victor stepped forward before he grabbed Gerald by his collar.
“No, no, it wasn’t him!”
When Mila saw that Victor was about to beat Gerald up, she quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
In fact, Mila had already been paying some attention to Gerald for a long time. She felt that he was a very different person
compared to everyone else.
Moreover, she could tell that he was not from a rich family background.
Perhaps that was the reason why Victor and the rest of the boys were always bullying him.

However, despite being bullied and humiliated all the time, Mila could not see the slightest look of inferiority in Gerald’s eyes. He
was completely indifferent and the fact that he was poor didn’t seem to bother him in the slightest.
Gerald always had a very humble and sincere look on his face.
Even if Mila wanted to lose her temper, she couldn’t bring herself to do so.
Therefore, Mila quickly stood up for Gerald when she saw that Victor was going to beat him up.
“Don’t worry, Mila! We should at least make sure that this pauper pays you back for your shoes!” Victor replied in a vicious
manner.
Mila was not from the Language Department, but she was a student from the Broadcasting and Media Department instead.
However, she had been friends with Whitney ever since they were young and the reason why she came over to the auditorium
today was because she wanted to have some fun.
Though Victor liked Whitney, he was even more interested in her best friend, Mila.
“Oh, no! There’s no need for him to pay me back for the shoes. I’ll just go back to the dormitory and change into another pair of
shoes!” Mila said in a hurry.
She also nodded slightly at Gerald.
“You’re lucky today, kid!” Victor said as he glared at Gerald. In fact, Victor was glad that he was able to act as the hero in front of
the two beautiful girls today.
When he saw that Mila was about to leave, he quickly approached her.
“By the way, Mila, why don’t we go out and have a meal together after you change into a new pair of shoes? After all, everyone
must be tired from the rehearsal today. I’ll treat everyone to a meal at Orchard Gardens!”
“Wow! Orchard Gardens? I heard that the fruit salad and steak there is really delicious but dining there is also really expensive!”
“Brother Victor, I’d like to come too!”
All the girls were excited as soon as Victor said that he would be buying Mila a meal at Orchard Gardens.

“Sure!” Victor replied as he clasped his hands together.
At this time, Whitney grabbed Mila’s hand before she smiled and said, “Mila, we’ll wait below your dormitory for you!”
In fact, Gerald could tell that Mila did not feel like going at all.
However, Mila could tell that everyone was very excited to go there and Victor had just had a clash with Gerald because of her.
Therefore, she could not bring herself to turn down his invitation.
Mila nodded slightly.
“Okay, I will drive! See you guys there!”
Victor was very excited that his strategy to ask Mila out seemed to have succeeded. Therefore, he glanced at Gerald before he
walked out of the auditorium.
Whitney turned and looked at Gerald before she said, “What are you looking at, Gerald? Do you really think that you are invited
to join us for lunch too? Let me tell you, your subsidy isn’t confirmed yet! You’d better stay back and make sure you clean up this
auditorium properly! Otherwise, I’ll make sure to teach you a lesson when I return!”
Gerald kept quiet as Victor and Whitney continued taunting him in tandem.
In fact, he was very angry at this time.
However, he knew that he would not gain anything from losing his temper and he would only be giving Victor the opportunity to
beat him up.
It was really unwise to ask for a beating. Therefore, Gerald decided to just let it go.
“Come on, Mila! Let’s enjoy the ride in Victor’s new Audi A6 later!”
Whitney pulled Mila out of the auditorium after glaring at Gerald with a contemptuous expression on her face.
The other people also walked out of the auditorium, one after the other.
They would definitely not be able to get there in one car so Gerald couldn’t help but wonder how they would be getting there.
Gerald thought to himself as he cleaned up the mess that they had left behind.

Should he get a car too?
He continued thinking to himself.
When Gerald was done cleaning up the auditorium, it was almost noon.
At this time, Gerald suddenly received an incoming phone call.
It was a phone call from Harper, the head of his dormitory.
“Gerald, are you done cleaning up the auditorium?”
Gerald nodded. “Yes.”
“Is Whitney crazy? We’ve already discussed this matter among ourselves and we’ve decided that if she dares reject your subsidy
application, we’ll bring this matter up to the chancellor!”
Gerald felt warmth in his heart as he said, “Thank you for looking out for me!”
“Gerald, if you’re free, come and join us for lunch!”
Harper invited Gerald for lunch but Gerald could hear the sudden change in his tone.
It sounded as though Harper was a little embarrassed.
Gerald was so close to Harper and he naturally knew that there was something amiss. This man was usually very manly, so why
did he sound so embarrassed and shy today?
“Will there be anyone else joining us today?” Gerald could not help but asked with a weary smile on his face.
“Bingo! Gerald, do you remember the girl named Hayley who was with Alice at Naomi’s birthday party last night?”
All the girls from Alice’s dormitories attended Naomi’s birthday celebration last night.
Gerald had a vague impression of Hayley Ians. She had short hair and she looked very cute and petite.
However, her character and personality was similar to Alice’s.
She kept rolling her eyes at Gerald last night even though she did not say anything at all.

“Yes, I know who she is. Why? Did you ask her out?” Gerald asked with a surprised expression on his face.
“Well, I was heading back to the dormitory after class today when I ran into her. She lost her cell phone in the cafeteria and I
offered to help her look for it. Fortunately, I’m quite familiar with some of the workers in the cafeteria. After checking out the
CCTV and looking around the cafeteria, we finally found her cell phone!”
“I felt that it was fate because I was actually pretty interested in her when I met her last night. Therefore, I mustered up the
courage to ask her out for lunch with me and my friends today. She agreed immediately!”
Harper was extremely excited over the other end of the line.
To be honest, Gerald was very happy for Harper when he heard his words.
However, Gerald really didn’t feel like going out with Alice and her friends.
He simply couldn’t tolerate them rolling their eyes at him!
“That’s great, brother! I wish you all the best! I think I’ll just skip lunch because I don’t want to be a light bulb!” Gerald replied as
he laughed.
“Damn it! How could you do this to me, Gerald? All our brothers have already agreed to come with me. Moreover, Naomi will also
be there today! It seems as though Naomi is going to introduce someone very important to you today. If you seize this
opportunity and make the most out of it, you might be able to turn your life around in an instant!”
Harper was also very concerned about Gerald.
“A very important person?”
Gerald could not help but think to himself, ‘Damn it. Don’t tell me that Alice will also be there today?’
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 17
Gerald could not describe the feelings he felt for Alice.
Alice was really beautiful, and elegant.
However, Gerald really could not tolerate her attitude because she wasn’t only very rude and arrogant but she also looked down
on those who were poor.

Gerald could not understand what Naomi was thinking. How could she possibly have intended to matchmake him to Alice?
Therefore, Gerald really did not want to join them for lunch before he did not want the situation to turn awkward.
However, he could not reject Harper’s sincere invitation as he didn’t want to let his brothers down.
The place that they had decided to have lunch at was a western restaurant named Bludhaven.
Naturally, Harper could not afford to host a lunch at any five-star hotel unlike the second-generation rich kids such as Danny or
Yuri.
The six girls from Alice’s dormitory turned up for lunch today.
Moreover, the six people from Gerald’s dormitory also came with Naomi.
However, since Gerald was not with the rest of the boys in the dormitory, he did not go to the lunch place with Harper and the
rest of the boys.
“In my opinion, Naomi, we only need the five boys from Harper’s dormitory, you, and the six of us from my dormitory to come for
lunch! Having the twelve of us eat together is good enough!” Alice said as she sat in her seat as she drank her juice.
The meaning behind her words was self-evident.
In fact, Alice had a good impression of Harper and she felt that he was also a very stable and mature man.
However, Harper’s parents were just ordinary people who were teachers in a middle school. Therefore, he was naturally not up
to Alice’s standards.
“Yes, I agree with Alice. Why should Gerald join us for lunch today? As soon as I see him, I start thinking about everything that
he’d done last night! It’s so annoying!” Hayley also said jokingly at this time.
“Okay, okay. Alice, Hayley, please stop hating on Gerald. Did you know that he’s actually a really good person if you’d just give
him a chance and get to know him better?” Naomi replied as she smiled.
“Yes, Gerald is really a very good guy...” Harper said immediately after.
“Well, if he was really such a good person, he wouldn’t make the twelve of us sit here just to wait for him alone, would he? Don’t
you think I’m right, Hayley?” Alice said as she snorted coldly.

“Oh look! Gerald is here!”
At this time, Naomi stood up excitedly as she waved at Gerald, gesturing for him to come over and join them at the table.
“I’m sorry for being late. I had to go back to the dormitory to make an important phone call. There was something that I had to
deal with.”
Gerald said as he smiled at Naomi.
Naomi was sitting directly opposite Alice at this time.
Her eyes wandered for a moment before she stood up and pulled Gerald to her seat and said, “Gerald, sit here!”
Gerald knew what Naomi was trying to do.
He simply sat down without putting too much thought into it.
“Jacelyn! Let’s switch seats!”
Unexpectedly, Alice had a cold expression on her face as she asked one of her girlfriends to switch seats with her as soon as
Gerald sat down in front of her.
“Sorry, Alice! I don’t want to switch seats with you. If I sit opposite that pauper, I’m afraid that people who don’t know the truth
would actually misunderstand and think that he’s my boyfriend!”
“Why? Wouldn’t you be happy if Gerald was your boyfriend? He could buy you a Hermes bag worth fifty five thousand dollars!
Hahaha!”
“Yes, yes, Jacelyn! You should grab hold of this opportunity that is given to you!”
Jacelyn Leigh was a very gorgeous girl who was very interested in fashion and makeup.
As she was also from a wealthy family, she naturally despised Gerald as well.
When Jacelyn heard her roommates making fun of her, she quickly replied, “If you think that Gerald is so good, then you should
just ask him to be your boyfriend!”
“Ahh! I give up. I surrender.”

The beautiful girls stopped joking around as soon as they heard her words.
They were obviously very sensitive to the fact that Gerald might actually end up being their boyfriends and they would definitely
be ridiculed then!
Harper and Benjamin were both a little annoyed when they heard the girls’ conversation. However, they could only endure it
silently.
After that, Gerald decided not to sit with Alice.
“Naomi, come and sit over here. I’ll just sit at the side!”
Gerald couldn’t help but laugh because he was treated like a plague in the eyes of all these beautiful girls.
Even though he was a second-generation rich kid like everyone else, the treatment that he received from all the beautiful girls
was totally different.
Gerald had so many assets under his name, but why couldn’t he be favored by these beautiful girls?
Gerald thought about using money to win these girls over but he couldn’t bring himself to do so
Ahh!
Gerald decided to just step aside.
Naomi really wanted to mend and get rid of the misunderstanding between Alice and Gerald because she really felt that they
would make a good couple.
Moreover, both of them were her good friends!
“Alice?”
At this time, a man’s voice suddenly sounded.
A tall and handsome boy dressed in branded clothing from head to toe approached their table and he looked at Alice with a
surprised expression in his eyes.
“Are you Quinton Ziegler?”

Alice was also stunned. She touched her hair before she stood up with a sweet and pleasant smile on her face.
“Yes, Alice. I haven’t seen you in over two years and you’re really looking more and more beautiful. I almost couldn’t recognize
you,” Quinton replied as he smiled.
“By the way, Quinton, didn’t your dad send you abroad to study? When did you return home?”
“I came back two days ago and I was just asking around for your contact information! By the way, did you manage to resolve the
incident that you got into at Emperor Karaoke Bar? Our high school classmate, Desmond, called me and told me that you ran
into some trouble there!” Quinton said with a concerned expression on his face.
At this time, Alice covered her mouth in shock.
Alice’s roommates had also come to a sudden realization.
“Ahh! Quinton, were you the one who helped us resolve the issue last night?”
Alice was very surprised.
In fact, Quinton had really wanted to help Alice out last night and he even asked his father to call the manager of the karaoke
bar, Flynn.
However, Flynn did not pick up the phone.
When Quinton heard Alice asking him if he was the one who resolved this matter on their behalf, he did not think too much about
it.
Instead, he simply nodded as he said, “Well, I asked my dad to help me deal with it.”
Alice felt very proud and excited at this time.
Women were always the ones with the most pride and vanity!
Right now, Alice felt as though all her doubts had already been cleared. It turned out that the person who had helped them to
resolve the problem was not Nigel or anyone else that they had contacted last night. Instead, her childhood friend, Quinton,
actually turned out to be the one able to calm Brother Flynn down and get him to waive the damages for them.
Alice used to be really close to Quinton in the past because of the friendship between their fathers.

However, as Quinton’s family business grew bigger and bigger, his father decided to send him abroad to further his studies.
Naturally, both of them no longer kept in touch after he left.
Unexpectedly, Quinton had actually done her such a big favor as soon as he returned to the country.
Moreover, Alice had no doubts that the Ziegler family would definitely be able to deal with someone like Flynn.
“Quinton, thank you so much for what you did for me!”
Alice was really very happy and grateful.
When Gerald saw how thankful Alice was towards Quinton, he could not help but feel a little uneasy.
He had just gotten rid of Nigel but the fruits of his victory were now stolen by this guy named Quinton.
Gerald had really wanted to tell them that he was the one who helped them to resolve the issue last night. He was the one who
had gotten them out of that situation!
However, he knew that Alice would only hate and despise him more if he spoke up now.
Therefore, Gerald decided to keep quiet because he did not want to get into another argument with Alice.
He thought he should just let it go.
“I’m here to attend a birthday party organized by one of my high school friends. The birthday party is held upstairs. Alice, I will
come down and chat with you again after giving a toast to my friend! You can also introduce your friends to me later!”
After that, Quinton smiled and bowed slightly as he looked at all the beautiful girls before he excused himself like a gentleman.
“Wow! He’s really very handsome!”
“Alice, how do you know him?
“Alice, does he have a girlfriend?”
Jacelyn and the other girls were very curious at this time.

Alice proudly replied, “Quinton is a really amazing guy! Do you know the Southern Food Industries? That’s his family business
and they are a tycoon in the food industry!”
“Wow! The Southern Food Industries is a public listed company and it is rated as one of the top companies in Mayberry City!
That’s really incredible.”
All the girls started discussing this matter amongst themselves.
“Didn’t the news mention that Southern Food Industries is currently facing capital and financial issues?”
Gerald had been quietly listening in on their conversation but when he heard their conversation, he wanted to contribute to the
topic.
As soon as he spoke up, the atmosphere around the table became cold within seconds.
At this time, Alice glared at Gerald with a furious expression on her face.
“What do you mean by that? Isn’t it common for huge businesses and industries to face capital and financial problems? Why are
you so jealous?”
“Some people are just like this. They are jealous and envious of others and they seize every opportunity to target their weakness
and shortcomings to put them down. Such people are really disgusting!” Jacelyn replied in a contemptuous manner.
Gerald’s sentence almost started a war...
“Alice!”
Fortunately, Quinton and one of his classmates started walking down the stairs at this time...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 18
”Alice, you look like you’re in a bad mood. Is something wrong?” Quinton asked as he walked down the stairs with his hands in
his pockets.
Quinton felt that his heart was a little moved when he saw Alice, who appeared to be even more beautiful than she was two
years ago.
“I’m fine. I’m just a little disgusted by some people!”

Alice then glanced at Gerald with a cold expression on his face.
“Exactly! How can you just spout nonsense without knowing your own place?”
Jacelyn and the other girls also seemed to hate Gerald. All of them were glaring at Gerald with a sharp expression on his face.
Quinton looked at Gerald.
When he came into the restaurant earlier, he seemed to have noticed that Alice was already displeased with Gerald.
However, after coming down the stairs, Alice looked even more unhappy and displeased with Gerald.
Was it possible...that this kid was in an ambiguous relationship with Alice?
Hahaha. No, that wouldn’t be possible!
Quinton knew as soon as he looked at Gerald’s outfit.
The total price of all of his clothing was not more than thirty dollars! How could Alice probably be in an ambiguous relationship
with someone like him?
“Is there any misunderstanding between you two? Why don’t you just talk it out? You’re all classmates so you should try to get
along well with one another!”
Quinton smiled but his eyes were focused on Gerald at this time.
“Hello, my friend. My name is Quinton. It’s nice to meet you.”
After that, Quinton stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gerald, revealing a gold Rolex watch on his hand.
The gold Rolex watch was extraordinary at first sight and all the girls stared at him with admiration on their faces.
Gerald could immediately tell that Quinton was not sincere and he had malicious intentions instead.
As he was about to shake hands with Gerald, Quinton suddenly asked with a surprise expression on his face, “Wow! My friend,
what brand is your T-shirt from? I’ve not seen this brand before. Do you think it’s because I’ve just returned from abroad?”

Quinton stared at Gerald as he made a jaw dropping expression on his face and his lips curled up slightly as he smirked at
Gerald.
Quinton wanted to impress Alice and he could tell that Alice had a very bad relationship with Gerald. So, he might as well beat
this kid down with a few words.
“Hahaha. It’s just an ordinary brand.”
Gerald did not intend to pick an argument with Quinton.
He couldn’t be bothered with someone like Quinton.
To be honest, Gerald had already planned to buy clothes using the Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card that his sister had
given to him. However, he felt that the minimum consumption of fifty thousand dollars was a little too extravagant!
“Ooh. Is it really from an ordinary brand? By the way, Harold, have you seen this brand before since you’ve always been in the
country?”
Quinton turned around to look at his classmate.
The man named Harold had blond hair and he had been busy staring at all the beautiful girls, from Alice to Hayley to Jacelyn.
Harold immediately knew what Quinton meant when he asked him the question.
After that, Harold shook his head before he smiled and said, “No, I’ve not seen this brand before. Would you like me to look it up
on the internet?”
Both of them continued their discussion in a serious manner.
In fact, everyone could tell that they were just trying to mock Gerald.
However, Gerald did not look embarrassed at all.
At this time, Alice and the other girls had a satisfied expression on their faces as they looked at Gerald.
“Hahaha! Serves him right for being jealous of Quinton! Now we get to watch other people ridiculing him for being poor!” Jacelyn
said as she laughed.

“After all, Quinton has just returned to the country after studying abroad. How could Gerald ever be compared to him anyway?”
Alice also said in a low voice.
Alice obviously knew that Quinton was ridiculing and making things difficult for Gerald because of her. However, he was doing it
in an indirect manner compared to Danny.
He was implying it without pointing fingers at Gerald.
This made Alice very happy as she felt that Quinton was a very intelligent person.
“Quinton, let me introduce you to my friends!”
After glancing at Gerald, Alice quickly introduced Quinton to everyone around the table.
After that, Quinton also introduced Harold to Alice and her friends. Harold’s family owned one of the biggest training academies
in Mayberry City.
Both of them sat down at the table and Quinton naturally sat opposite Alice.
On the other hand, Harold seemed to be very interested in Jacelyn and Hayley.
The girls kept staring at Quinton and Harold as they continued chatting. The original theme of the lunch today was supposed to
be the development of a relationship between Harper and Hayley.
Unfortunately, Quinton’s presence suddenly changed everything and this made Harper feel a little unhappy.
Gerald could also tell that Harper was a little upset.
He could not simply ignore this and watch as his brother was neglected.
Fortunately, Gerald was already prepared for this kind of situation.
Before leaving the dormitory, Gerald had already made a phone call to Zack, the manager of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
He told him that he would like to bring a few friends there today and he asked Zack to make the necessary arrangements for
him.
He did not want Harper to lose face in front of Hayley today!

Moreover, Gerald knew that Naomi had always wanted to visit Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
When Harold found out that Harper had invited Hayley out for lunch today, he started asking Harper all sorts of questions.
He kept questioning Harper about his family background and his parents’ occupations. In other words, he was indirectly asking
Harper if he was wealthy.
Gerald really wanted to bring up the fact that he had already arranged for the group to go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment
after lunch.
At this time, Quinton suddenly said, “By the way, I heard something when I came back to the country. I heard that the Fisher
family has gone bankrupt and that they’ve lost Grand Marshall Restaurant that they used to own on Mayberry Commercial
Street! My dad used to be friends with Nigel’s father, Adam Fisher. I am trying to get him to buy over Grand Marshall
Restaurant!”
Alice’s eyelids twitched slightly at this time.
Of course, they knew everything that happened to Nigel and the Fisher family.
This was because Nigel was right beside them when everything unfolded!
When the girls heard that Quinton was planning to take over Grand Marshall Restaurant, they could not help but feel extremely
excited. They quickly made up their minds to become good friends with Quinton.
Alice nodded slightly before she said. “Yes, we know about what happened to Nigel and his family. We heard that he offended a
very influential person in Mayberry City and that’s the reason why his entire family businesses went bankrupt overnight! The
Fisher family had always relied on the profits that they made from Grand Marshall Restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street,
so I really wonder what they’re going to do now that they are forced to withdraw their shares immediately.”
Quinton watched in satisfaction as all the girls stared at him with admiration in their eyes. He really enjoyed the attention.
He nodded before he said, “Well, my father agrees with me and he wants to take over the restaurant too. After all, everyone
knows the commercial value of any businesses or shops on Mayberry Commercial Street. As long as you can open a business
there, you’ll definitely make money like running water! My dad also mentioned that there is a very grand and luxurious manor
there with a hot spring inside!”
“Wayfair Mountain Entertainment!”

Everyone was very excited when they heard the mention of the manor with the hot springs.
Quinton nodded and smiled before he said, “Have any of you been there before?”
When Quinton asked this question, Alice suddenly recalled how embarrassed they had been the night before.
However, she didn’t want to hide the truth from Quinton.
Therefore, she quickly told him about everything that happened.
After listening to her explanation, Quinton smiled before he said, “Well, I really did not expect Nigel to make such a fool out of
himself. Alice, since you did not manage to go into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment the last time, I can bring you there today! I
just need to give my father a call.”
“Ahh! Seriously? You’re the best, Brother Quinton!” Jacelyn said in a charming manner.
“Of course I’m serious. Give me a minute. I’ll call my dad now.” After that, Quinton took out his cell phone before he made a
phone call to his father.
After explaining the situation to his father, Quinton hung up the phone immediately.
“Should we head there now? I am afraid that they’ll have more guests in the afternoon. If the place is overcrowded, there is
nothing that my father can do for us then.”
“Okay! Sure!”
All of the girls were more than willing to leave at this time.
“Alright then, I will go and get the cars with Harold. We will leave in two cars.” Quinton said as he prepared to go and get the car
with Harold.
“But Quinton, there are seven girls so two cars would be enough for us...but what about them?” Alice asked as she pointed at
Harper and the rest of the boys.
Quinton looked at Harper before he asked, “Did you not drive here?”
Harper shook his head and he felt very embarrassed at this time.

“Forget it. We won’t be joining you guys.”
Naomi felt very uncomfortable to be caught in the middle. Therefore, she said, “Well, if they aren’t going, then I don’t want to go
either!”
Gerald did not want Naomi to be placed in such a tough spot every time. He knew that she really wanted to go and check out
Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Therefore, he quickly said, “Naomi, you can go ahead with the rest of them first. We’ll join you later. After all, we’ve already
ordered a table full of dishes!”
In fact, Gerald intentionally said those words and he was targeting Alice and Hayley at this time.
After all, Harper was treating them to lunch today and he had already ordered a table full of dishes but they were leaving without
taking even a single bite. Gerald felt as though they were not taking Harper seriously.
Being the sensitive person that she was, Alice could immediately hear the contempt in his voice as soon as she heard his words.
She quickly replied, “Hahaha. You’ll come and join us later? Do you really think you’d be able to enter Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment without Quinton? Moreover, why are you being so sarcastic? It’s just a table full of dishes. Do you want me to pay
for the food, then?”
Harper waved his hand in a hurry before he said, “No, no, you guys can just leave first. I will see you later, Hayley!”
Harper glanced at Hayley. He really wished that he would be able to see her later but he knew that Alice was right. How would
they possibly be able to enter Wayfair Mountain Entertainment later?
After that, Alice and the rest of the girls left with Quinton and Harold. Harper was just glad that the situation did not end up as
awkward as it was last night.
However, after the girls left, Harper felt as though he no longer had any appetite.
He felt very discouraged at this time.
“Harper, don’t feel so discouraged. I said that we’ll go to the manor and I will make sure that we do so. Just trust me.”
Gerald comforted Harper as he patted him gently on the shoulder.

Harper smiled bitterly before he said, “I know you mean well, Gerald. Forget it. Let’s just eat and enjoy the meal before we go
back to the dormitory to sleep after this!”
Gerald knew that Harper simply thought that he was being stubborn.
He smiled because he knew that he could not be as low-key as he wanted to be anymore. This was because he knew that most
of the time, Harper and the rest of his roommates were ridiculed and humiliated because of him.
Gerald was also very upset at this situation.
Therefore, Gerald took out his cell phone before he called Zack. “Zack, I will head over to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment with
my friends later. If it’s convenient for you, could you send two cars over here to pick me up?
Zack was very respectful on the other end of the line. “Of course, Mr. Crawford. Anything for you. Could you please send me
your location?”
Gerald gave Zack his location over the phone before he hung up the phone immediately.
Harper looked at Gerald in surprise.
“Damn it, Gerald! Who did you just call?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 19
Harper knew that Gerald was a very honest person, even if he could be a little vain sometimes.
Moreover, he knew that Gerald wouldn’t continue lying to his own brothers after the rest of the girls had already left. However,
they couldn’t understand what was going on.
Did Gerald really have the ability to bring them into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment?
How could this be possible?
Gerald smiled as soon as he heard Harper’s question.
He would find out later!
“Excuse me, sirs. Will all of you continue having your meal here?”

At this time, a beautiful waitress came over to their table as she asked them in a polite manner.
Even though she was speaking in a very polite manner, she could not hide the contempt that she was feeling in her heart.
She naturally knew who would be paying the bill today.
However, she had also witnessed everything that had happened earlier and she knew that all the beautiful girls had already been
brought away by Quinton and Harold.
At the same time, the other people who were dining in the restaurant at this time were also looking at Gerald, Harold, and the
rest of the boys as they laughed at them.
The situation that they encountered was similar to getting robbed of their girlfriends in public.
That was also the reason why the beautiful waitress came to ask them if they wanted to continue enjoying their meal there.
“No, just pack up all the food for us. We will bring it over to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment to enjoy the food there later!”
Gerald could see the contempt in her eyes.
How could he allow Harper to continue eating in this restaurant at this time?
However, he felt that it was really a pity to waste all of the food on the table.
The beautiful waitress and the people around them almost burst out in laughter as soon as they heard Gerald’s words.
“Is this guy a fool?”
“Who do you think you are? You actually want to pack your food from this restaurant to bring over to the Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment as dinner instead?”
“Doesn’t he know that Wayfair Mountain Entertainment also serves food? Hahaha...”
“I guess they’re trying to save their own pride since the rest of the girls had already left with the other two guys earlier. Hahaha. I
think college students nowadays really have no sense of shame at all. They can just brag out of pride.”
The people around them continued mocking them.
Harper couldn’t help but lower his head in embarrassment.

The waitress rolled her eyes before she glanced at Gerald and said, “Alright then. In that case, may I know which one of you is
going to settle the bill today?”
“Me, me, I’ll settle the bill immediately,” Harper replied in a hurry.
The dishes on the table would easily cost more than eight hundred dollars today.
That would be more than eighty percent of Harper’s living expenses for the month.
Gerald took the plastic bags from the waitress as he started packing up the food on the table.
Even though all the customers were ridiculing and making fun of them at this time, he wasn’t bothered at all.
“Sob. Sob.”
At this time, three luxury cars suddenly drove past the restaurant.
After that, the three luxury cars stopped and parked right in front of the restaurant.
“Wow! Three Rolls-Royce Phantoms!”
“Damn? Who is so incredible? One of those cars is worth almost one and a half million dollars!”
“Oh my god! Look at the car license plate!”
The license plate for all three of the luxury cars were 689. That number alone was worth a few hundred thousand dollars already!
Everyone in the restaurant could not help but look out of the restaurant and even the waitress was stunned at this time.
If the owner of the luxury cars was going to dine in the restaurant, she would run out to meet him now so that she could win
some of his favor.
The waitress quickly straightened out her clothes before she strode towards the door.
She wanted to see if the owner would come in for a meal.
At this time, three people stepped out of the car. These three men were dressed in black suits and they were all wearing
sunglasses and Bluetooth headsets in their ears. They really looked like bodyguards that were usually seen in a movie.

The atmosphere was very solemn at this time.
“Gentlemen, may I ask if...”
The beautiful waitress rushed forward to greet them immediately.
However, the three men did not even bother to look at her and they simply walked straight to Gerald who was busy packing up
the food at this time.
“Mr. Crawford!”
The three bodyguards greeted Gerald as they bowed respectfully at a ninety degrees angle.
“What? Mr. Crawford?”
“The bodyguards are referring to this young fool as Mr. Crawford?”
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked.
Harper and the other boys were even more surprised at this time.
What was going on?
Was Gerald really so awesome?
At this time, Gerald finally finished packing up all the food.
“Guys, why don’t we get into the cars so that we can get to the manor now?”
“Mr. Crawford, please let us carry the food for you.”
The bodyguards ran over before they took the packed food from Gerald’s hand.
Harper and the rest of the boys followed Gerald out of the restaurant, as though they were living a dream.
“Mr. Crawford, please walk slowly...”
The beautiful waitress’ face was already pale at this time and she greeted Gerald in a respectful manner, while Gerald simply
nodded.

At the same time, he felt a little embarrassed. He really wasn’t used to people staring at him.
The few of them quickly got into the luxury cars as they headed towards the manor.
On the way there, Harper couldn’t help asking Gerald about the situation.
“Gerald, this...what is going on?”
Gerald felt that it was still too early for him to reveal everything to them. Therefore, he simply said, “Brother Harper, I’ll certainly
explain everything to you soon. Just remember that we are brothers and whatever happens to you will always be my business. I
will make sure that you will not lose face today!”
Harper nodded and he did not ask Gerald anymore questions.
After a short drive, they finally arrived at the manor.
Initially, the bodyguards were also given the task of bringing Gerald and his friends around and making sure that they could enjoy
all the food and entertainment in Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
However, Gerald knew that Harper and the rest of the boys could not let loose and enjoy themselves with the bodyguards
around.
In fact, even Gerald did not feel comfortable with the bodyguards around.
Therefore, as soon as they arrived in front of the entrance, Gerald asked the bodyguards to drop them off and he told them that
they would like to go around the manor and have fun on their own.
“Damn! Gerald, you’re really too amazing! I can’t believe that we are really able to enter the manor today!”
Benjamin was very happy when they strolled around the manor.
“Well, I know the boss here! So, what would you guys like to do now? Tell me what you guys want to do!”
Gerald said as he smiled.
“Ahh! Gerald, is the boss that you are talking about the same person who gave you the shopper’s card before this?
“Well, I guess you could say that it’s somehow related...”

This was somewhat true because his sister, Jessica, was the one who had given him the cards and she was also the one who
had introduced him to Zack.
Harper nodded immediately.
At this time, the boys were thinking of what they could do in the manor.
The entire manor was very large and it was covering half of the mountain. Even though the scenery outside the manor was really
beautiful, there was nothing interesting to do outside.
The hot springs and the dining area was in fact the core entertainment center in the manor.
Since Gerald was already relatively familiar with the place, he said, “Well, let’s head inside the manor and we can eat a little
before we enjoy the hot springs.”
“Erm, Gerald, I saw on the internet that they usually charge us for entering the manor and using the hot springs, am I right?”
Benjamin asked out of curiosity at this time.
In fact, he would already be very satisfied if he could just play outside the manor.
However, if he could enter the manor, that would be an added bonus!
“Don’t worry about it!”
Gerald smiled. Even though his sister was the one who had opened this manor, he was still one of the owners of this place.
Everyone started to relax a little.
Moreover, they had to pass through a quaint bridge before they can get from the outer periphery into the inner periphery.
Gerald and the boys saw Alice and the rest of the girls as they were walking inside.
They were all taking pictures of themselves inside the manor at this time.
“Look! It’s Gerald and his roommates! How did they manage to enter?” Jacelyn exclaimed in surprise when she saw Gerald and
the rest of the boys walking in.

At this time, Alice was busy chatting with Quinton. When she heard Jacelyn’s words, Alice frowned before she turned around to
look at the direction that Gerald and his friends were coming from.
Sure enough, it was really them.
“How did they manage to get in?” Alice asked in surprise.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 20
“Damn it! Don’t tell me they secretly sneaked in?”
It was Harold who said that.
He was staring at Gerald and the rest of the boys with a contemptuous expression on his face.
In fact, this was the same question that was running through the few girls’ minds now.
Just think about it—what kind of place was Wayfair Mountain Entertainment? Was it possible for just anyone to enter this place
whenever they wanted to?
Even someone as wealthy and powerful as Quinton had to call his father several times before his father could finally get
someone to sort things out and ask the security guards to allow them in.
However, even if they could get in, they could only stay on the outer periphery of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
“Oh my god. How embarrassing would it be if they had really sneaked in here?”
“Yes, that would be really embarrassing! If the security guards find out about them and realize that they know us, wouldn’t we get
kicked out of here with them?”
The girls looked at Gerald with a contemptuous expression on their faces as they murmured amongst themselves in an anxious
manner.
“Harper, how did you enter this place?”
Hayley did not speculate. Instead, she simply walked towards Harper and asked him in a low voice. She was obviously worried
for him.

“We came in through the front door!” Gerald replied immediately.
After that, Harper nodded as he looked at Hayley.
“Hahaha. The main entrance? Do you think the security guards would really be that blind as to allow you to pass through the
front entrance?” Jacelyn, who had been scratching her head at this time, yelled at Gerald immediately.
She vowed that if she got kicked out of this place today because of Gerald, she would definitely give him ten slaps across his
face!
Ten harsh slaps!
Alice was also worried about the consequences if Gerald and his friends had really sneaked in!
Therefore, she stepped forward and approached Gerald with a stern expression on her face as she said, “Gerald, I hope you can
tell us the truth now. If you really did sneak in today, then you’d better tell us in advance so Quinton can help us figure out a
solution.”
“Yes! Please don’t make the situation bad for everyone!” Quinton added this sentence.
Meanwhile, Quinton thought to himself, ‘Why are Alice’s friends so weird?’
“Hmm...”
Gerald was silent as he listened to them nagging and yelling at him endlessly. He felt so helpless at this time. He had obviously
come in through the front door and he was telling them the truth now.
What did they expect him to say? That he had crawled in through a dog hole?
“I’m telling you the truth. If you want to, I’ll bring you into the manor and we can all have some fun together. We can eat, enjoy a
bubble bath in the hot spring, and enjoy all the other facilities here.”
In fact, the only reason why Gerald was offering to bring them in was simply because of Naomi.
At this time, Naomi was also feeling a little worried for Gerald. She was afraid that Gerald would get into trouble because of this.
Even though he was offering to bring them in with good intentions, everyone stared at him as though he was an idiot.

“What did you just say? You want to bring us into the manor? Do you even know who you are? Why don’t you take a look in the
mirror instead? Don’t you see the bodyguards who are standing guard outside the manor?” Jacelyn asked angrily.
“Yes! It is already difficult for someone like Quinton to bring us into the manor and you think that this is really up to you?”
The group of girls started to chatter among themselves.
“There are fourteen of us here. Even if we don’t talk about the cost of the food, entering the hot spring itself would cost at least
twenty thousand dollars! Moreover, if we were to eat in the manor, it would cost us at least thirty to forty thousand dollars! It
would be easier for me to make the necessary arrangements if there were fewer people here today but it’s also a little difficult for
me since there are so many of us.”
Quinton looked at Gerald as he smiled wryly at him.
Alice could not help but feel moved when she heard that Quinton had already thought everything out for them. After that, Alice
looked at Gerald with a helpless expression on her face as she said, “Forget it. Why don’t we leave now and come back again
next time to avoid getting embarrassed if they get caught?”
“No! Why should we leave just because of this pauper?”
“Yes! Sister Alice, why should we leave? We’re finally here and I want to continue looking around the place!”
All of the girls stared at Gerald with a furious expression on their faces.
In fact, Alice had intentionally said those words as she wanted to force Gerald to leave.
However, at this time, Gerald simply smiled bitterly before he shook his head and said, “If you are willing to follow us, then you
can just come with me. It’s really up to you. You can do whatever you want to.”
After that, Gerald looked at Naomi before he said, “Naomi, do you trust me? If you trust me, just follow me and I’ll bring you into
the manor.”
Naomi gritted her teeth as she nodded.
After that, Gerald led the few of them across the bridge before he led them into the inner periphery.
“Hahaha! Just wait and see! Gerald will definitely get chased out later! I hope he won’t implicate and embarrass us!” Jacelyn said
as she watched silently.

“That guy really has no sense of shame at all!”
Quinton also stood aside as he waited to watch the show.
However, in the next second, their eyes widened in disbelief. They had initially thought that Gerald would definitely get kicked out
immediately. However, Gerald managed to get into the manor. Moreover, the bunch of bodyguards also bowed respectfully when
they saw Gerald.
“What’s happening?” Quinton asked with an incredulous expression on his face.
Jacelyn was so shocked that she had no choice but to cover her mouth with her hand.
Initially, she was gloating because she thought that Gerald would certainly get beaten up. However, Gerald got in without facing
any problem at all.
All the beautiful girls had a very complex and complicated expression on their faces and Alice was in utter disbelief at this time.
In fact, if she had not witnessed this situation with her own two eyes, she wouldn’t have believed that this was real.
In her eyes, Gerald had always been nothing but a pauper. She also knew that Naomi had been trying to get her to build up a
relationship with Gerald. However, ever since she thought that Gerald had bought Naomi a fake Hermes bag, she already had a
very bad impression of him and she really didn’t like him at all. She thought he was just a boring pauper.
But now, he could actually go in and out of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment as he pleased.
It was even difficult for Quinton to bring so many people into the manor.
“Alice, what should we do now?” Jacelyn asked as she stared at Gerald and the others as they entered the manor.
At this time, Alice glanced at Quinton and Harold who were standing on the sidelines, with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Since Quinton’s father had the ability to deal with Flynn from Emperor Karaoke Bar, Alice felt that they would certainly be able to
enter the manor as long as Quinton’s father was willing to help them!
Quinton had a very ugly expression on his face at this time.
It certainly felt as though Gerald had just given him two slaps across his face.

If Quinton managed to bring the girls into the manor, then he would be on equal footing as Gerald! Everything would be settled
then.
What else could he do?
Quinton decided to call his father again. He really did not want to embarrass himself in front of Alice, nor did he want her to look
down on him. Hence, Quinton quickly took out his cell phone before he told his father about the situation.
Quinton’s father was also someone who cared a lot about his face and reputation. As soon as he heard that someone had
beaten his son in terms of money, he could not tolerate it any longer.
Therefore, he did all that he could to ensure that Quinton could enter the manor with the girls.
Moreover, he had even promised to sponsor Quinton twenty thousand dollars for his expenditure today so that his son would not
lose face.
Even though it was a lot of money, Quinton’s father felt that it was necessary to save face!
“Hahaha! What’s the big deal? Let’s go, Alice! I’ll bring everyone into the manor today,” Quinton said as he smirked.
“Okay! You’re really amazing, Quinton! How could a pauper ever be compared to you?”
Jacelyn and the other girls also cheered for Quinton at this time.
The admission price for each person was one thousand five hundred dollars each, excluding hot spring services, dining, gold,
and any other services.
The admission fee for the eight of them had already cost twelve thousand dollars.
“So, what if Gerald could bring them in? I think that the only thing he’s able to do is to let them look around! I can pay for
everyone to go bowling today!”
Quinton and Harold winked at one another because they felt that the twelve thousand dollars that they had just spent was worth
it.
If they had to, they would be more than willing to spend up to twenty thousand dollars today!

Bowling should be the cheapest activity in the manor. At least, Quinton was sure that it would definitely be cheaper than dining
there!
All of them followed Quinton into the manor.
The inner periphery of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was indeed very different from the outer periphery. All of them felt as
though they had just stepped into a new world.
It was no wonder why even the wealthiest and most powerful people from other provinces regarded this establishment as a
paradise. It really felt like paradise!
Alice was shocked when she entered the manor, but soon started to calm down a little.
“Ah! Guys, look! What is that?”
At this time, Jacelyn, who was busy applying her makeup as she was preparing to take a selfie, realized that there was an
elegant attic above the beautiful hot spring with a waterfall at the front.
Some people were eating in the attic at this time.
The surrounding water mist evaporated around them, creating an effect that looked like rainbow bedding around them.
Everyone looking up at the attic felt as though those people were dining on the clouds.
It was extremely gorgeous.
Alice also found it really beautiful. She couldn’t help but feel envious because she really wished that she was the one eating
there at this time.
“Is that the micro dining pavilion? Yes, that is the micro dining pavilion!” Quinton said in an envious tone.
“Quinton, how much does it cost to enter and have a meal at the micro dining pavilion? The name already sounds so exquisite. It
should be really expensive, right?”
Jacelyn asked as she looked at the girls.
“Very expensive? It’s not just expensive. Do you know how much it costs to enter and use this micro dining pavilion? It costs
forty-five thousand dollars, excluding the prices of the food!”

Everyone was shocked as soon as they heard the price.
It costs forty-five thousand dollars to enter this place?
Damn it!
Moreover, Quinton knew more about the place than the rest of them. “Moreover, even if you have money, you might not
necessarily be able to eat here because you have to have a certain identity to dine here! Only the very wealthy and powerful can
afford to enjoy their dinners here.”
Alice was shocked at this time.
“Hey! Look there! Alice, Quinton, take a look up there. Why do I feel as though those people really look like Gerald and his
roommates?”
After staring at the group of people for a long time, Jacelyn felt as though something was wrong.
Hayley nodded before she said, “You’re right! I can see Harper from here!”
Alice felt a tug in her heart as she tried to make out the people on the micro dining pavilion alongside Quinton and Harold.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that it really looked like Gerald and his roommates.
“Impossible!”
Alice could not believe her own eyes. How could a pauper possibly afford to be up there?
It was absolutely impossible!
Ring, ring, ring.
Just then, Alice received a phone call.
It was a call from Naomi.
“Alice, why did you guys come in so late? All the dishes have already been served! I can see you! Look up here. The scenery
from up here is really amazing. Why don’t you come and join us?”

Alice could see Naomi standing on the micro dining pavilion as she beckoned for them to come and join them as soon as
possible!
“Oh my god. It is really Gerald, Naomi, and the rest of the boys. This...this...”
Jacelyn gulped at this time. This was unbelievable.
The expression on Quinton and Harold’s faces changed immediately. It seemed as though they would never be able to keep their
heads up high today!
“Alice, let’s go up now!”
Jacelyn could not wait anymore! This was because many of the wealthy and noble people who were in the manor were already
staring at them with envy.
She felt very satisfied at this time.
Alice bit her lip slightly as she said, “Yes! Let’s go up!”
She had to go up and ask Gerald what exactly was happening. Otherwise, she would definitely not be able to sleep at night!
Harold looked at Quinton with a nervous expression on his face as he said, “Brother Quinton, it seems as though that pauper is
even more incredible than we thought he is. I think we should just leave instead of challenging him any further.”
Harold was already frightened because he did not expect Gerald to be this powerful.
Quinton snorted coldly as he said, “Damn it! Why are you afraid of him? I don’t believe that the pauper can actually be so
powerful. Let’s go! We should go up and find out what’s going on!”
