The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 51-60
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 51
“Oh, Alice is in trouble? That’s fantastic! This isn’t the first time that Alice has targeted Gerald anyway. It seems like there really is
a retribution!”
Gerald’s roommates were all gloating at this time.
Harper scratched his head as he said, “But aside from Naomi, Hayley and the rest of the girls had also chased after Alice
earlier!”
“Then, what should we do now, Gerald?” Benjamin asked as he looked at Gerald.
Since Naomi was the one who called him, Gerald naturally had to go there. Moreover, all of this was happening in Emperor
Karaoke Bar and it was his own property.
“Well, let’s go and check it out then. After all, we all came out here together!”
Gerald could not be bothered about Alice at all but he was helpless at this time.
The group of boys hailed two cabs before they headed straight to Emperor Karaoke Bar.
At this time, in a private room, there were several bottles of red wine that had been smashed to the ground in front of Alice.
Moreover, Alice was also aggressively pouring red wine into her mouth.
“Why? Why is Quinton this kind of person? I thought that he was really a gentleman who had just returned from abroad. He
always had such a good temperament and he’s so good at everything that he does! I thought that he would always be good and
loyal to me!”
“But why? Why is he such a sick and perverted person?”
Glug. Glug.
Alice raised her head before she took a few sips of red wine before she smashed the bottle of red wine onto the ground
immediately!
“Alice, stop breaking the wine bottles already! You’ve ordered all the most expensive red wines! We don’t have enough money to
pay for all of this!”
Naomi, Hayley and Jacelyn quickly moved all the remaining unopened bottles of red wine away from Alice.
Today’s event had left a great impact on Alice and since it was broadcasted in public, Alice felt really humiliated and she could
not stand it anymore. That was the reason she had chosen to come to the Emperor Karaoke Bar to get herself drunk. She had
fallen in love with Quinton here and she wanted to forget him here.
That was also the reason she decided to order the most expensive box of red wine at one go.
After taking a few sips, she would just smash the wine bottle.
“Hahaha. This site belongs to my boyfriend, Quinton. As long as my boyfriend says the word, the boss of Emperor Karaoke Bar
will just let us go! So what if I smash a few bottles of wine? Who says that I can’t do it?”
Alice really could not believe that her first boyfriend would turn out to be a scoundrel. She was in disbelief!
Therefore, she really wanted to get drunk and forget everything that happened today.
“Naomi, do you think we should call Quinton now? This red wine costs more than three thousand dollars a bottle! Alice has
already broken four bottles and we don’t have enough money to pay for all these bottles and the damages!”
“Yes! Call my boyfriend so you can see how amazing he really is!” Alice yelled mockingly.
At this time, the door of the private room was pushed open and Gerald and Harper quickly walked into the room.
Gerald was slightly startled when he saw the mess on the floor. It seemed as though this woman was really crazy when she was
upset.
“Gerald, you’re here!”
Naomi hurried over to Gerald. She was really worried and she did not know what to do.
“Hahaha! Did you come over here to make fun of me or to laugh at me?”
Before Gerald could even speak, Alice who was sitting on the sofa was also staring coldly at him as she questioned him.
“Yes, you must be here to laugh at me! Gerald, I know that you hate me for constantly targeting and bullying you. Now that I’m in
this situation, you must be the happiest person on earth, right?”
“Alice, you really have a very deep misunderstanding about Gerald. I was the one who called him. I told him that something had
happened to you and that you were in trouble, and he rushed over here immediately!” Naomi hurriedly explained.
“Yes, he came here in a hurry because he wants to mock me!”
Gerald really wanted to leave and if Naomi was not there, he would have left without any hesitation at all.
At this time, someone suddenly pushed the door open. One of the security guards had heard the commotion and he walked into
the room immediately.
“What is going on here?” the security guard asked as he stared at them with a cold expression on his face.
What was even more of a coincidence was that this security guard was the exact same security guard that they had encountered
during the previous incident.
Alice could recognize that he was the same security guard and she said, “Who are you to ask me that question? Get out of here!
I want you to call your boss over here now!”
Alice was really acting like a crazy person at this time.
“Hahaha. You want me to call my boss here?” the security guard asked as he looked at the shattered wine bottles on the ground.
After that, he sneered before he said, “Alright then, it might actually be a good idea for me to call my boss. After all, you are
causing a lot of damage to our room! There aren’t many people who actually dare to act like this here...”
The security guard could not help but feel that this group of people were deliberately creating trouble.
“You’d better call your boss now or you might even lose your job otherwise! Do you know who this girl is? She’s Quinton Ziegler’s
girlfriend! The Ziegler family owns Grand Marshall Restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street. Do I need to explain anything
else to you?”
Jacelyn was afraid that they would have to pay for the damages and the bottles of red wine. Therefore, she quickly brought up
Quinton without even considering Alice’s feelings.
Unexpectedly, the security guard had a cold expression on his face as he said, “Yes, I know the Ziegler family and I know that
they have recently gotten the rights to run the Grand Marshall Restaurant, but what has that got to do with me? Do you really
think that you can come to Emperor Karaoke Bar and cause trouble just because you’re friends with the Ziegler family? They are
nothing compared to Brother Flynn!”
Jacelyn really did not expect the security guard to be unmoved even after she brought up Quinton’s name.
“Quinton was the one who made the phone call to Mr. Flynn, asking him to apologize to us and let us go the last time! I
remember that you were also here that night!”
Jacelyn suddenly felt that something was seriously wrong.
“What? Miss, I think you must have made a mistake. You said that the Ziegler family gave us a call? Even if they had really
called, do you think a petty ant like them would be able to make Brother Flynn bow down to them?”
After Jacelyn’s reminder, the security guard finally remembered that this was the same group of people who smashed the
arowana fish tank the last time. At this time, his tone eased a little.
After listening to this conversation, Alice finally sobered up a little. The meaning behind the security guard’s words were obvious.
The Ziegler family meant nothing to him at all.
So, why should Flynn be bothered by them?
Even though the Ziegler family was powerful, they obviously could not beat Flynn. How could they possibly make Flynn get on
his knees?
“Beauties, I think that you must have made a mistake. Let me tell you the truth. The reason Brother Flynn decided to let you guys
go the other day was because he received a phone call from our mysterious boss. This has nothing to do with the Ziegler family
at all...hahaha!”
“Mysterious boss?” Alice asked as she took a deep breath.
It seemed as though she had been mistaken the whole time! She had even agreed to become Quinton’s girlfriend because she
was moved and deeply touched by what he had done for her.
No! How could this be true?
Alice immediately took out her cell phone before she called Quinton. She had to wait for a long time before Quinton finally picked
up the phone. It was very noisy and it seemed as though there was still a huge commotion over there.
“Alice, I was wrong. I know that I’m in the wrong. Please forgive me...”
“Quinton, there’s something I want to ask you. Did you or did you not ask your father to call Mr. Lexington to apologize to us at
Emperor Karaoke Bar? Did your father ask him to bow down and apologize to us that night?” Alice asked Quinton the question
coldly over the phone.
“Ahh? Mr. Lexington? He bowed down and apologized to you? How could that be possible? Mr. Lexington is a close friend of Mr.
Lyle. How could he possibly...”
“I understand now!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 52
Alice hung up the phone immediately.
This misunderstanding was really too much. At first, Alice had truly believed that it was Quinton.
Alice did not question Quinton regarding this matter in detail because she did not want Quinton to feel that she had agreed to get
into a relationship with him simply because she was feeling grateful toward him for his help.
Now, everything was clear.
Quinton had not resolved this matter at all. So, who could it have possibly been?
At this time...
The security guard suddenly received a call from his headset. There was a surprised expression on his face as he replied with
three respectful ‘yes’s.
His face turned pale immediately.
Right afterward, the security guard bent over before he bowed and said, “Dear ladies, I am really sorry. I made a mistake. Your
consumption here tonight is all free. You... you can leave now!”
Upon saying that, the security guard remained bent over and did not dare to straighten his back at all.
“This...”
Alice and the rest of the girls were all stunned.
This scene was exactly the same as the last time, aside from the fact that Flynn had not made an appearance here today.
Who was the one who had called for help? Who had this kind of power?
Naomi was also extremely surprised. “I think we should head back to the campus first. We will discuss this matter after we get
back to the dormitory.”
Then, Naomi looked at Alice with a worried expression on her face.
“Mm... let’s go back first.”
Alice was very confused at this time.
What was the problem?
Who was the one who had been helping them all along?
Everyone was ready to leave the karaoke bar at this time.
“Eh? Where is Gerald?”
Naomi wanted to look for Gerald, but she realized that Gerald was nowhere to be found at all.
“Yes! Where is that Gerald? D*mn it! He was just standing behind me just now!”
“Hmph! I bet he ran away again because he’s afraid that he would have to fork out some money. Isn’t this the same as last time?
As soon as he realized that something was wrong, he hurriedly came up with an excuse to leave and go to the bathroom. He
only dared to come back after we had already resolved the problem!” Jacelyn said in contempt.
“No! Gerald is not that kind of person!”
Naomi defended Gerald before she continued looking around for him.
Just then, Gerald suddenly opened the door and came into the room.
At the same time, he was putting his cell phone back into his pocket.
“Is everything settled? If everything has been settled, let’s leave now. I’ve called for three cabs and they’re already waiting
outside!”
Gerald spoke to the group of people lightly.
Then, he turned around and left the room.
Everyone in the private room was startled, especially Alice.
She could feel her heart beating uncontrollably.
Gerald had already called for three cabs for them. This indicated that he already knew that everything would be alright.
It was the same situation as the last time when Gerald had secretly run out during the commotion.
When he came back, everything had already been resolved.
Was this simply a coincidence?
Could it be... that the person who had called for help... was none other than Gerald?
How could that be possible?!
“Gerald, stop right there! Tell us the truth now!”
Alice chased after Gerald immediately. At this time, there were already three cabs waiting for them outside the karaoke bar.
Alice ran toward Gerald as she demanded answers.
“The truth?” Gerald asked.
He was already very disappointed with Alice, and he knew that it was impossible for both of them to even become friends at this
point. So, why was she constantly pestering him?
“I am asking whether you were the one who made the phone call and requested for help. Was it you?”
Alice was very nervous at this time.
This was because she felt as though everything was connected. From the expensive fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag to the
exclusive invitation to the manor, Gerald being invited to sit with Aiden and the rest of the group, and also the attitude of the
security guard at the Emperor Karaoke Bar just now!
Everything seemed to revolve around Gerald.
Had Gerald really gained all those favors just because he had saved Zack’s daughter? Regardless, wouldn’t there be a time
when the favor would have already been fully repaid?
Alice was very scared. She was afraid that she had been hating on someone who was wealthy and powerful all along.
She would not know how to face the consequences then.
“Was it you?” Alice asked anxiously.
“If you hoped that it was me, then it was me. If you hoped that it was not me, then it was not me. Hahaha...”
Gerald replied indifferently before he turned around and got into one of the cabs.
Meanwhile, Jacelyn and the rest of the girls had also happened to overhear the conversation between Alice and Gerald, and
they were all shocked.
Oh my! Was it really possible that all of this was because of Gerald?
He... wasn’t he just a pauper?
Alice was in tears at this time because she did not know what else to think.
Finally, Jacelyn, Naomi, and the other girls dragged Alice into the cab.
“Alice, are you okay? Gerald is a good person. Even though he might be poor, he is still a very good person. Don’t think too
much about it!” Naomi persuaded Alice helplessly.
“No! I’m not thinking too much...” Alice suddenly raised her head as she looked at Naomi and Jacelyn.
“Do you still remember what I told you today? I told you that seventy percent of the Mayberry Commercial Street was owned by a
young boss. I even told you that this young man was very humble and low-key, and even though I tried searching, there was no
information about him at all on the internet...”
“Of course I remember. You said that the young man’s last name was Crawford. Everyone calls him Mr. Crawford... ahh!
Crawford?”
Jacelyn was in shock as she seemed to have thought of something at this point!
“Could Mr. Crawford actually be Gerald Crawford?”
This... how could it be possible?
All the girls, including Jacelyn, turned pale immediately.
If Gerald was indeed the Mr. Crawford that everyone was talking about, a lot of things would make perfect sense.
Nonetheless, if this was true, then Jacelyn wanted to die immediately!
She wanted to hit the wall because she was filled with regrets!
These girls were always like that.
“Alice, I think all of you are thinking too much. If Gerald is really the same Mr. Crawford that everyone is talking about, why would
he be living off the subsidy that he receives?”
Naomi quickly assured and comforted Alice when she saw the pale and frightened expression on her face.
“Yes, yes...”
Alice simply nodded, but she had already made up her mind. She was going to investigate and look into this matter because she
had to uncover the truth...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 53
After returning to the dormitory, Gerald spent the entire night quietly looking through the test questions for test subject one.
In the morning the next day, Gerald originally planned to go to the venue for test subject two.
At this time, he suddenly received a text message from his sister:
“Gerald, there are less than three days to the end of the month. I just checked and I realized that you only spent fifty-five
thousand dollars out of the three million dollars in the black gold card. If you do not spend all the money by the end of the month,
the three million dollars will expire...”
Gerald was taken aback when he realized that it was already the end of the month. He had three million dollars in his black gold
card, but he had not used any more of the money in the card aside from the fifty-five million dollars that he had used to buy the
limited edition Hermes bag.
According to his sister, if he did not use the money, the three million dollars would expire and go to waste.
No, he had to spend the entirety of the three million dollars!
Gerald felt very distressed when he realized that the deadline for the three million dollars was coming soon.
Gerald naturally had an idea about what he wanted to spend the money on. He wanted to buy one of his favorite things in the
world. A car!
Therefore, Gerald got up early before he headed over to Mayberry Automobile City.
He wandered and walked around for a long time.
However, he could not help but feel a little disappointed.
There were too few luxury cars that were worth more than one and a half million dollars! Moreover, most of the luxury car shops
did not have ready stock for luxury cars.
“How much is the most expensive luxury car in your shop? It would be best if I can get the car by the end of the month with all of
the completed forms and procedures.”
At this time, Gerald had just stopped by a BMW shop.
However, it was a pity that the only most expensive car in this BMW shop that could be delivered and handed over to Gerald by
the end of the month was just worth a mere three hundred to four hundred and fifty thousand dollars. That was too cheap. He
had to buy at least seven or eight of those cars to use up the money in his black gold card.
Still, why would he buy so many cars for himself?
Gerald scratched his head anxiously.
“Sir, this is the most expensive luxury car range in our shop. However, I would like to suggest that you take a look at the
domestically produced BMW 3 Series instead. The lowest price for a fully equipped BMW 3 Series is only about thirty thousand
dollars...”
The salesgirl at the BMW shop did not even bother to hide her contempt.
She simply did not show it through her language.
She could not understand why someone who was dressed in such cheap and casual clothing would actually be asking for the
most expensive car in the shop. She never expected to run into such a troublemaker so early in the morning.
The salesgirl was rather upset. Even if she recommended him the cheapest car in the shop, he might not even be able to afford
it.
“Um... thirty thousand dollars? It’s too cheap. Forget it. I’ll go and look somewhere else...” Gerald sighed before leaving the shop
with a disappointed expression on his face.
“D*mn you! You’re insane!”
The salesgirl was rendered speechless as she stared at Gerald who was walking away from the BMW shop. Right after, she
dropped the professional smile on her face before cursing at Gerald unceremoniously.
Gerald truly did not expect that he would be regarded as a lunatic. He simply wanted to look for the most expensive luxury car
that he could find so that he could use up the money in his card.
Fortunately, as he continued looking around, Gerald found a Lamborghini shop!
Lamborghini was considered one of the leading brands for sports cars.
Even the cheapest Lamborghini sports car would have to cost more than a million dollars!
In the past, Gerald could only look at all these sports cars in a magazine, but now, he could actually afford to buy one for himself.
Gerald felt as though he was dreaming at this time!
Presently, there was a super luxurious sports car that had been produced by Lamborghini called the Reventon. The most
expensive and premium version of the Revention would cost at least two million and six hundred thousand dollars. Most
importantly, the Lamborghini shop had ready stock, and Gerald could take the car home immediately.
At this time, Gerald ignored the contemptuous look on the salesgirl’s face as he sat inside the car to experience what it felt like.
“My dear, it’s the Reventon! What a cool car! Why don’t we sit inside and experience what it feels like?”
At this time, a young couple who were holding hands walked into the Lamborghini shop.
The couple was dressed in branded clothing, and anyone could tell that they were wealthy from a single glance.
“Didn’t you say that you wanted to come and see the Gallardo? The Reventon is too expensive. Even the cheapest version
would cost at least two million dollars. Even if I could see or experience it, I cannot afford to buy it!”
The young man glanced at the watch on his wrist as he smiled helplessly.
“It’s okay even if we don’t buy it. I just want to experience what it feels like to sit in the Reventon! This is the most luxurious and
expensive car produced by Lamborghini!” The girl replied in a coquettish manner.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 54
The salesgirl who was about to drive Gerald away had already set her sights on the young couple at this time.
She could tell that they were wearing branded clothes worth thousands of dollars, and they were definitely from a rich and
wealthy family.
Moreover, this young couple was here to buy the Gallardo. This meant that they could definitely afford to buy a Lamborghini
today.
The salesgirl simply felt that Gerald was just a poor boy who was sitting inside the Reventon to gain some insight, and he
definitely would not be able to afford to buy a car here today. He was really thick-skinned!
“Handsome, beauty, you truly have good taste. My name is Vanessa. How can I help you?” Vanessa asked respectfully.
“Oh, we originally came here because we wanted to take the Lamborghini Gallardo for a test-drive. However, my girlfriend saw
the Reventon and wants to try and test-drive the Reventon instead. If you do not mind, we would like to pay for the test-drive
deposit...” the young man replied as he smiled.
“Yes, of course you can bring it for a test-drive. As for the test-drive deposit, you don’t have to worry about it. I will waive it just for
you...”
After all, this young couple really looked like they were here to buy a car today. The salesgirl could tell at a single glance that the
watch on the young man’s wrist was already worth more than fifteen thousand dollars.
Vanessa hurriedly laughed at this time.
“Hm... but it seems as though there is a customer in the car...” the young man replied with a bitter smile on his face.
“Ahh? Oh! Sorry, sir. That man is not a customer. I will ask him to get out of the car right now!”
The salesgirl knew that she had to weigh the pros and cons now!
As long as she served this young couple well, they would probably end up buying the Gallardo, which was sold at the price of
four hundred and fifty thousand dollars! At the very least, they would end up buying an ordinary Lamborghini!
Anything would be better than wasting her precious time on this pauper.
“Excuse me, sir. If you are not going to buy this car, please get out of the car immediately!”
Vanessa opened the car door and spoke to Gerald in a very cold tone. At this time, Gerald was still studying the interior of the
car.
However, the eviction order had already been issued.
“I did not say that I was not going to buy it. I am just taking a look at it first...” Gerald truly liked the car and wanted to look at its
every detail.
‘Do I look like I care if you are going to buy the car or not?!’ As Vanessa glanced at Gerald and the way he was dressed, she
really could not comprehend how he could actually have the courage to step into a Lamborghini shop just to look at the cars.
Even if he really wanted to look at cars, he should just go to an ordinary BMW shop.
However, since Gerald was already in the Lamborghini shop, he was also considered a customer, and Vanessa could not be too
rude or mean to him.
“Ahh! Oh my God! Why is someone like this looking around in a Lamborghini shop? I instantly feel as though this luxury sports
car is so low-grade and cheap now!”
The woman in the young man’s arms covered her mouth with her hand as she exclaimed in surprise.
Both of them had been in a very good mood earlier because they felt that the people who could actually step into a Lamborghini
shop were all wealthy and powerful figures in Mayberry City, such as themselves.
Even if they did not know each other, they could understand one another and gradually become friends.
However, they never expected to see someone like Gerald in the car after Vanessa had opened the car door.
The young couple was suddenly very disappointed.
This was especially so for the young woman, and she did not even bother to hide the look of contempt on her face.
“Yes. Miss Vanessa, is your Lamborghini shop really so lenient with its customers? Why did you let someone like this into your
shop? To think that you actually even allowed him to sit in the most luxurious Reventon?”
The young man was very shocked, and he did not even bother to take a look at Gerald at all.
This was because he felt that Gerald was simply not from the same class and status as him.
Moreover, he was also feeling a little angry. He felt that he was losing face in front of his girlfriend because a pauper like Gerald
was able to sit in a luxurious car such as the Reventon.
The reason why he brought his girlfriend to the Lamborghini shop today was just so he could show off!
Vanessa could not help but feel a little anxious when she heard the young man’s words.
At this time, Gerald was still looking at the interior of the car, and he was checking out the smart console.
“Get out of the car now!”
Vanessa yelled as she reached out her hand and grabbed Gerald by his collar. She wanted to pull Gerald out of the car...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 55
Vanessa really wanted to earn the business transaction from the young couple.
Therefore, she subconsciously used a little too much strength.
Gerald had not expected Vanessa to be so rude and rough with him. At this time, he accidentally bumped his head against the
car, and it was very painful.
“If you refuse to step out of the car, I will call for security immediately!” Vanessa yelled as she frowned.
Gerald stepped out of the car as he held onto his head.
D*mn it. He really did not expect to be dragged out of the car by this woman when he was still observing the interior of the car.
“I came here to buy a car, so why can’t I take a look at it?!” To be honest, Gerald was holding in his anger right then.
“Buy a car?! What kind of car do you think you will be able to afford to buy from our shop? I simply allowed you to come in to
take a look at the cars, but you actually think that you really belong here now!”
Vanessa was very rude and cold toward Gerald in an attempt to please the young couple that was standing behind her at this
time.
The commotion attracted the attention of many onlookers around the automobile shop.
However, the young couple was not done complaining.
“Husband, since that pauper sat inside a Lamborghini, I do not want to buy a Lamborghini anymore! Ahh! This is such a
disappointment!”
The young woman continued adding fuel to the fire.
The Reventon was certainly not a car that they could afford to buy.
However, it was also good enough if they could afford to buy the Gallardo.
In fact, the woman felt that it would be a shame if she did not get to experience and test-drive this famous luxury car for herself.
After all, everyone had a vain side to themselves. No matter whether they were rich or poor, it seemed as though they would not
be able to reflect on how awesome they were if they did not belittle others.
Vanessa bowed slightly in front of the young man and woman. “Sorry, I will handle this matter right away!”
She truly regretted allowing that pauper to step into their Lamborghini shop!
When Vanessa turned around, she realized that Gerald had already left.
However, he was not walking toward the door.
Instead, he was heading directly toward the manager’s room.
“That’s the manager’s room! What are you trying to do?! Come back here!”
Vanessa yelled as she stomped her feet angrily.
What did he want?
First, he had tried to cause trouble here, and after creating a series of problems, the main problem was himself!
Now, Vanessa was certain that Gerald was going to the manager’s office to report her.
Under pressure from the customer, the manager would surely blame her for causing so much trouble!
Also, it would be terrible if she could not seal the deal with this couple today.
However, it was too late for her to chase after Gerald now. By this time, Gerald had already walked into the manager’s office.
“Miss Vanessa, don’t worry. We are definitely going to buy the Gallardo today. Even if that man really reports you, I have a way to
make sure that your manager does not punish you!” The young man chuckled as he spoke.
“Thank you, sir!” Vanessa quickly bowed to express her gratitude.
At the same time, Gerald was still rubbing his aching head as he stepped inside the manager’s office.
There was a middle-aged man who was carefully analyzing and checking through the year’s sales report in the office at that
moment.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw Gerald walking into his office.
After that, he stood up immediately.
This young man did not dress in an outstanding manner, but as the manager of the shop, he had to have an extraordinary
temper.
Moreover, the middle-aged man could not help but notice the sharpness in the young man’s eyes.
Therefore, he did not dare to be too frivolous.
“Sir, what can I do for you?”
“I came here to buy a car, but your salesgirl refused to allow me to take a look at the interior of the car. She even used violence
on me! Is this the service attitude that employees of your shop have?”
Gerald confronted the manager directly.
To be honest, after hitting one wall after the other today, Gerald was already starting to get a little impatient. He felt even more
unhappy and embarrassed when the salesgirl had dragged him out of the car by force.
Most importantly, he had to buy a car today.
“Is that so? Sir, may I know which car you were interested in?”
The middle-aged man was already mature and experienced, and he could tell at a single glance that someone dressed so
casually would usually not be able to afford to buy a Lamborghini. Therefore, it was normal and nothing out of the ordinary if the
salesgirl despised and looked down on him.
Therefore, the manager assumed that Gerald was only here to make a report because he wanted to save face.
That was the reason why the manager immediately asked Gerald which car he had been interested in.
“The Reventon sports car that is worth two million and six hundred thousand dollars!” Gerald replied lightly.
“Hahaha. Sir, that car...”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 56
Smack!
Before the middle-aged man could even finish his sentence, Gerald immediately placed his black gold card on the table.
Upon picking it up, the manager took a closer look at the black gold card, and the expression on his face changed immediately.
He obviously knew about the black gold card.
Only a few people in this world could afford to own this card.
“There is basically a balance of approximately three million dollars in this black gold card. Isn’t that more than enough for me to
buy the Reventon?” Gerald asked casually.
“Yes, that is naturally more than enough money!”
However, even though he was replying to Gerald’s question, the middle-aged manager was still a little skeptical at this time.
No matter how he looked at it, the person standing in front of him did not look like the holder of this black gold card at all.
Could he have picked up this card?
Immediately after that, the middle-aged man flashed an apologetic smile at Gerald.
Then, he immediately turned on a device before swiping the black gold card on it.
In an instant, a string of messages appeared on his computer.
“What is your name, sir?”
The middle-aged manager asked pleasantly and respectfully.
“Gerald Crawford.”
“Mr. Crawford, I am so sorry for being too presumptuous earlier. Please forgive me for my behavior.”
As soon as he spoke, the middle-aged manager walked around the table toward Gerald before bowing slightly in front of him.
“My name is Wilson, and I will serve you wholeheartedly, Mr. Crawford!”
Wilson was already breaking out in cold sweat after confirming the owner of the black gold card and Gerald’s identity.
The young man standing in front of him was indeed the owner of the gold black card even though he was dressed so casually.
He must come from a very wealthy and powerful family.
This was just a car that was worth about two and a half million dollars. Wilson knew that as the holder of the black gold card,
Gerald would definitely be able to afford to buy a car that was worth fifteen million dollars if he wanted to.
D*mn it! Which one of the salesgirls actually had such bad foresight to have offended such a powerful man?!
“I would like to settle all the documents and procedures immediately because I intend to take that Reventon home today. Thank
you for the trouble, Manager Wilson.”
Gerald spoke to Wilson politely because he saw that the manager’s attitude was pretty good.
Then, Gerald turned around and walked out of his office.
“Yes, definitely, Mr. Crawford!”
Wilson wiped the sweat off from his forehead before he took the black gold card in his hand and contacted the financial manager.
When Gerald came out of the manager’s office, Vanessa was still showing the young couple the Reventon.
Even though she knew that the young couple would not be able to afford to buy the car, as a potential customer, Vanessa
naturally had to serve them to the best of her ability.
She even took the time to explain all the specific details of the car to them.
“Wow, husband! This car is really so cool and amazing! It’s no wonder why this car is worth two million and six hundred thousand
dollars. Husband, when can we afford to buy this car?” The woman asked as she sat inside the Reventon, clearly already in love
with this sports car.
The external appearance of the car was already so cool, but the interior of the car was even more impressive. It was fully
automated, intelligent and it had all the top luxury configurations set in it.
The woman could not help but exclaim in joy!
“Well, you will have to wait for me to inherit all of my family’s property from my father...” the young man replied with a wry smile
on his face.
“I don’t care, husband. Anyway, I want to own this sports car one day! Eh? Husband, look! That pauper is here to look at the
sports car again!”
The woman started complaining in a coquettish and spoiled manner.
When she turned around, she noticed that Gerald, who had left earlier, had already returned.
Moreover, he was even checking out the headlights of the car right now.
At this time, Vanessa and the young man also saw Gerald standing near the Reventon.
Vanessa became very anxious at this time. “Hey! What are you doing here again? Didn’t I ask you to leave? Did you think that I
would be afraid of you just because you reported me to my manager?”
“Exactly! Some people are just too vain for their own good. They do not even know their own place...” The young man said as he
raised his watch once again.
Gerald looked at Vanessa coldly as he said, “Miss, your job scope does not only encompass the sales industry, but you are also
in the service industry. If you find out one day that the person you were trying to drive out was in actual fact one your biggest
customer, wouldn’t you feel ashamed of yourself?”
“Hahaha! You are such a funny and ridiculous person. Based on your ability? Very well, then. I will wait for that day to come.
Now, can you leave this shop this instant?”
Vanessa stared at Gerald as though he was a mentally retarded person. The contempt and disgust in her eyes were self-evident.
Gerald nodded helplessly before he said, “You do not need to wait for that day to come. You can already feel ashamed of
yourself now.”
“Mr. Crawford, I have already called all the relevant financial personnel who will complete all the form and documentation
procedures for you. I promise that you will definitely be able to pick your car up today!”
Just then, Manager Wilson led a group of people with him, and they were carrying all sorts of large and small instruments as they
hurried toward Gerald.
Vanessa’s eyes widened in shock, and the young couple who were standing at the side also had an incredulous look on their
faces as they witnessed the scene in front of them...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 57
”Manager Wilson, what’s going on?”
Vanessa could not react at all for a moment.
However, her instincts told her that she might have done something that would make her regret for life.
Thus, Vanessa hurriedly stepped forward as she asked the manager the question.
“Get out of my way now! I will settle this with you later!”
Wilson reprimanded Vanessa as he glared at her furiously.
At this time, the financial manager and the handling clerk also came in behind him, and they were all looking at Gerald with a
polite and respectful expression on their faces.
Vanessa was completely dumbfounded. She truly thought that Gerald was nothing but just a miserable pauper.
She assumed that Gerald only came here to look at the Lamborghinis that he could never afford to buy.
Therefore, in an effort not to offend the young couple who could actually afford to buy a Lamborghini, Vanessa had not hesitated
to offend this young man whom she thought was a pauper.
But how could a pauper possibly make her manager act this way? Was he truly going to buy the Reventon?
Oh my God. How wealthy was he?!
The young couple was in shock at the moment.
The young man felt as though he had been greatly humiliated. “Manager, I would advise you to figure out that I am your real
customer!”
“Yes! We are going to buy the Gallardo from this young lady today. If you continue treating her like this, we might change our
mind and choose not to buy from your shop anymore!” The woman also yelled as she tried to speak up for Vanessa.
“I do not care whether you want to buy a car from us or not. And you, woman! Who allowed you to sit inside the Reventon? I
want you to get out of that car right now!”
At this time, Wilson was thinking to himself that this young couple was nobodies compared to the holder of a black gold card.
The young woman was sitting at the driver’s seat inside the Reventon as she tried to experience what it felt like.
“I...” Her feminine face turned pale as soon as she heard Wilson’s eviction order.
Wilson smiled before he looked at Gerald and said, “Mr. Crawford, look. Next...”
Gerald knew that he was asking if they could begin with the formalities.
Therefore, he simply nodded as he took the black gold card in his hand.
Then, Gerald aimed the black gold card at the sensor on the equipment before he input his password directly.
Ding!
“Two million and seven hundred thousand dollars have been credited!”
A system prompt sounded immediately.
“What?!”
Right then and there, everyone present, including all the other people who were looking at cars in the Lamborghini shop, were all
surprised.
This young man had just spent two million and seven hundred thousand dollars to buy the most expensive luxury sports car
produced by Lamborghini!
Tyrant!
“Who is this young man? His appearance and clothes looked so shabby. I thought he only came here to look around. Oh my
God. Who would have ever expected him to be the real deal instead?”
“He looks like he is just a college student! Do you think he won all that money from the lottery? Oh my God! How much did he
win? It must not be less than fifteen million dollars!”
“Oh my! I wonder if that young man already has a girlfriend or not? Otherwise, I will introduce my sister to him!”
“...”
There was a slight commotion in the Lamborghini shop at this time, and everyone had focused their attention on Gerald.
Gerald could feel his face burning red.
On the other side, the young couple was so ashamed that they did not know what to do or where to hide their faces at all.
The car that Gerald had just bought was easily worth six Gallardos.
They had even tried to drive Gerald out of the Lamborghini shop not too long ago, and could not help but feel a little
embarrassed as they thought about it.
“Madam, please make way for me. I want to have a look at the interior of my car again...”
Gerald walked toward the car door as he watched the young woman reluctantly make her way out of the car.
“Ahh... I... I...” She had really wanted to test-drive the car and bring it out on the road. When that happened, everyone’s eyes
would surely be fixed on her!
That was all she wanted. Everyone’s attention and envy.
However, her boyfriend could only afford to buy a Gallardo. She was truly dying with envy at this time. Ahh!
The young woman quickly ran out of the Lamborghini shop because she felt very ashamed and embarrassed.
Everyone was waiting for Gerald to be done inspecting his car.
After a short while, Gerald was finally done looking at the interior of his car, and he stepped out of the car.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 58
By this time, Wilson was also done with all the verification and transfer documents.
“Mr. Crawford, this is your car key and my business card. From now on, please do not hesitate to ask me for anything if you have
any special requests. Even if it has nothing to do with cars at all, you can always ask for my help!” Wilson said respectfully.
This was because Gerald meant more to him than just a regular customer who was buying a car. He knew that Gerald came
from a very wealthy and powerful family.
Wilson felt that he would not lose out if he got acquainted with Mr. Crawford.
“Okay, thank you, Manager Wilson. To be honest, there is something that I would like to ask of you if it is not too much trouble,
Manager Wilson.” Gerald said with a smile on his face.
“Yes, please. Just give me your instructions!”
“Please, can you get someone to help me drive this car back? Hahaha. Actually, I have not gotten my driver’s license yet...”
“Oh! If that is the case, I will do it for you right away!”
“Mr. Crawford, why don’t I drive the car back for you?”
“Mr. Crawford, I can drive the car back for you too! I have already obtained my driver’s license for more than two to three years!”
“Mr. Crawford, which driving school are you studying at?”
Immediately after his words fell, a crowd of people quickly gathered around Gerald as they grabbed his arms frantically.
They kept asking Gerald about which university he was studying at and which driving school he was taking classes at.
Gerald was prevaricated with his replies. Fortunately, Wilson was very sharp and alert, and he quickly offered to personally drive
Gerald back.
At this time, Vanessa was standing by the door as she glanced at Gerald and the crowd of people. She was biting her lips, filled
with regrets. She truly wished that she could slap herself in the face!
She had actually looked down on and despised someone, but unexpectedly, that person had turned out to be the true king!
Vanessa could not help but slump to the ground as she thought about her actions. Her career was surely over!
However, Gerald did not ask Wilson to drive him back to the campus.
After all, this was such a cool and luxurious Lamborghini. Even when they were driving on the road, a crowd of people was
already staring at his car.
If he were to drive this car into the campus, he would definitely attract too much attention.
That would be too high-profile.
It would feel as though Gerald was trying to show off his wealth.
Gerald hated people who were arrogant and enjoyed showing off their wealth the most.
Therefore, Gerald asked Wilson to park his car at a carpark that was located not too far from their campus.
Then, he asked Wilson to take a cab back to the Lamborghini shop.
Alas, Gerald had bought a car but he was too embarrassed to drive it. This was really so ridiculous!
Still, Gerald was very satisfied with this car, and he felt as though he was dreaming.
After putting away his car key, Gerald felt a little thirsty and decided to head toward the shop next to the campus to buy a cup of
milk tea.
“If you do not have cash on you, you can use electronic payment instead!”
“Sorry, boss. My cell phone is dead, and I forgot to bring my wallet here with me. Otherwise, can you allow me to leave the cups
of milk tea here first? I will return to the dormitory to get my wallet before I come back to grab these milk teas...”
As soon as Gerald arrived at the shop, he saw a girl holding a bag of milk tea as she spoke to the boss.
It seemed as though the girl had only realized that she did not bring her wallet out with her after she was done purchasing the
milk tea. Moreover, her cell phone was out of battery and she could not pay using electronic payment either. This was indeed
quite embarrassing.
However, after looking at the girl’s profile, Gerald was a little startled.
“Huh? It’s her?” Gerald was a little surprised.
She was the girl he had met when Whitney had instructed him to clean up the auditorium the last time. At that time, Gerald had
accidentally soiled and dirtied her white shoes when he was too engrossed in Victor’s speech about buying a car.
Gerald could remember her clearly because she was not only very beautiful, but she was also non-judgmental at all, unlike
Whitney. She was very demure and nice.
Therefore, Gerald had a very deep impression of her. He could even remember her name clearly. Mila Smith!
“Young sister, don’t make this kind of joke. You bought six cups of milk tea in one go and even took a few sips of one of the milk
teas. If you leave them here and do not come back for it, what am I supposed to do with all these milk teas?! Who am I supposed
to collect the money from, then? Miss, I am just running a small business here. So, please do not make things difficult for me!”
The male boss inside said helplessly.
At this time, Mila had a very anxious expression on her face as she frantically wiped the sweat off her forehead.
“How much is it? I will pay for her...”
Just as Mila was feeling very flustered, a voice suddenly rang behind her ears.
Mila heaved a sigh of relief before she turned around to see who had come to her rescue. As soon as she saw Gerald, she
smiled unexpectedly.
“It’s you?”
“Yes. It seems as though we meet again!” Gerald smiled and could not stop his face from turning red...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 59
”Thank you so much for your help. I can’t believe I forgot to bring my wallet out!” Mila said as she smiled.
She did not directly refuse Gerald’s offer to pay on her behalf, and she was also very polite.
She was a very kind and generous girl.
Mila was a little surprised to run into Gerald today.
Still, Mila had a deep impression of Gerald after running into him at the auditorium the last time.
She recalled that this student had been very indifferent and was not affected at all even though everyone had been ridiculing and
humiliating him at that time.
“You are welcome,” Gerald replied as he smiled.
“Don’t worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as I get my wallet. By the way, do you have an electronic wallet? If
you have one, I can transfer the money to you through electronic payment directly...”
“Yes!” Gerald did not push back and forth either. Even though the girl before him was very beautiful, it was still a very happy
meeting.
Furthermore, he did not have the habit of beating around the bush.
Under normal circumstances, any other ordinary guy in this situation would definitely have insisted that the girl did not need to
return the money and could just take it as a treat from them.
Perhaps, they would even try to invite her out to dinner and try to befriend her or something like that.
However, Gerald had a very straight character and had always been this way. Since Mila wanted to return the money to him, he
had no reason to turn down her request.
“I will go back to my dormitory now and transfer the money back to you later in the evening! Thank you for your help today. My
name is Mila Smith!”
“My name is Gerald Crawford!” Gerald replied as he smiled.
After that, Mila waved at Gerald before she left in a hurry.
“She truly is very beautiful...” Gerald muttered to himself as he stared at her back.
Hey! When did he become such a fool?
With a faint smile on his face, Gerald turned around and picked up his milk tea before he decided to walk toward his car and
appreciate it a little longer.
This was the first time he had ever bought a car for himself, and he would never have dreamt that he would ever be able to own
this car. Therefore, he was very excited.
“Wow! Come and take a look at this! What kind of car is this?”
“Oh my God! It’s a Lamborghini sports car! It’s really too cool. This car should be worth a few million dollars, right?”
“This is the Reventon! It’s one of Lamborghini’s most expensive luxury sports car! It’s priced at more than two and a half million
dollars! Wow. He must be an extremely wealthy person!?”
When Gerald arrived at his car, he was shocked to see that there were already many people surrounding his car at this time.
Most of them were girls, but there were also a few boys there.
They were all staring at his car in awe, and everyone was also having an enthusiastic discussion about the car.
A lot of the girls were extremely attracted to the car, and their eyes shone brightly as they stared at the car.
“Wow! This cool sports car is worth more than two and a half million dollars. I would be willing to die if I could just sit in this car
for a short while!”
“I can’t help but wonder which rich man owns this car? Is there such a wealthy person in Mayberry University? If there is, I would
really love to become his girlfriend!”
“Come, come, hurry up and take a picture for me! I really want to take a picture with the car!”
Click! Click!
The sound of the camera shutters rang continuously.
Some girls also wanted to take pictures with the car but were too embarrassed to do so.
Moreover, they were not only staring at the car, but they were also observing their surroundings at this time.
Everyone wanted to find out who the owner of this car was. They wanted to know if it belonged to a boy and whether he was a
student from Mayberry University. If he was a fellow student, they wanted to seize the opportunity to get closer to him.
Perhaps... that wealthy guy would take a liking to them!
“Well, excuse me. Can you let me pass...” Gerald scratched his head as he decided to bite the bullet and walk directly toward his
car.
“Get out of here! Why are you trying to squeeze through?!”
Unexpectedly, Gerald was pushed aside by a very frustrated girl.
At this time, Gerald could not help but feel anger rising in his heart. What the hell! You did not even ask for my permission and
you dare to sit on top of my car! Who do you think you are?!
“Look at this person. He is such a d*ck! He is actually coming forward to take pictures of the car. Isn’t he disgusting?”
“Hahaha. I think he’s trying to take advantage of the situation right now. He is probably trying to find a girl since there are so
many beautiful girls here. I have never seen a more disgusting person in my life!”
“It would be fine if the owner of the Lamborghini comes and sees a bunch of beautiful girls here. However, just imagine what he
would think if he saw such a disgusting boy in front of his car? It would be strange if he did not get angry at all!”
Then, the bunch of girls quickly took out their cell phones and started snapping pictures of themselves with the Lamborghini.
“Look! Why are there so many people gathered over there?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 60
”It seems as though there is a very wealthy boy in our university now! He just bought the Lamborghini Reventon sports car!”
“D*mn it! That car is worth about one and a half to two over million dollars! Let’s go over and take a look!”
Gerald was violently pushed outward by the few girls, and at this time, more people were running toward his car.
Gerald felt completely helpless. If he wanted to give them a slap across their faces right now, he could simply take the car keys
out of his pocket and unlock his car directly.
However, Gerald did not have that kind of habit, especially not in front of such a huge crowd of people.
Unexpectedly, parking the car here at the car park had almost the same effect as stopping the car directly in front of the
university entrance.
Gerald looked around him and decided that he would have to wait until the car park was completely empty before he moved his
car elsewhere.
That was the only way!
Alas. Gerald could not help but sigh.
Thus, Gerald put his car keys away before he turned around and left the car park.
After walking a few steps, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from a strange unknown number.
Gerald answered the call immediately.
“Gerald, right? I forgot to inform you this morning that you will have to come to the North Playground at one o’clock in the
afternoon to practice Subject Two!”
A female’s voice sounded faintly over the other end of the line.
As soon as she was done speaking, she hung up the phone immediately.
He would have to acquire Subject One the next day, so it was no wonder why he would have to practice Subject Two today.
Regardless of the caller’s cold and rude attitude, Gerald hurried over to the North Playground because he wanted to get his
driver’s license as soon as possible.
After a short while, he finally arrived at the location.
Training on the field had already begun.
At this time, an instructor wearing a pair of sunglasses was teaching a student how to reverse a car.
There were probably about eleven people waiting in line at this time.
It was a mixture of boys and girls.
Everyone was standing at the side as they watched the instructor guide the student on how to drive and handle the car properly.
“D*mn it! It’s really Gerald! Is he seriously going to learn how to drive?”
As Gerald walked toward the crowd of people, a fellow female student immediately covered her mouth in surprise, a look of
disbelief plastered on her face.
“Hahaha. So, what now? I told you it was him! Quinn, you lost the bet. You have to eat dinner with me tonight!”
At this time, a boy smiled as he exclaimed excitedly.
“Oh, it doesn’t count! That does not count at all. Who would have thought that Gerald would come and take the driving test?!
This is simply too illogical! Nathaniel, I think you made the bet with me only because you already knew that Gerald signed up for
this driving lesson! You lied to me!” The girl named Quinn retorted immediately.
The thing was, they had seen Gerald’s name on the list of students when they arrived for their driving lesson.
The two of them had then placed a bet on whether it was the same Gerald from their department.
As a result, after the staff from the driving school had made the phone call and asked Gerald to come over, they found out that it
truly was him.
They were completely shocked!
In truth, Gerald was not that familiar with these two students. He had only ever met them a couple of times in his department.
Why did he meet them? Only because these two students were also part of the student union. The boy was Nathaniel Lawson,
the committee member for the Disciplinary Department, and the other was Quinn Zager, the committee member for the Health
Department.
As a poor student who was receiving subsidies from the student union, Whitney would often assign Gerald to do all sorts of odd
labor for them. Therefore, it was only natural for everyone in the student union to know all about Gerald.
After all, who would not have heard of this pauper from their department?
After listening to the conversation between Quinn and Nathaniel, the other boys and girls who were also students at the
university could not help but stare at Gerald.
Some of the boys even laughed contemptuously. “Brother Nathaniel, is this pauper from your department really that poor?”
This boy felt that his own worth would undoubtedly be raised if he ridiculed and humiliated others, thus, he did not hesitate to
insult Gerald because he felt that he obviously did not have any status at all. If so, why should he give him any face?
“Yes, he is poor! So poor that you cannot possibly imagine it. Hahaha!” Nathaniel replied as he laughed.
Gerald simply snorted coldly at their sarcastic and satirical remarks. Then, he turned around and walked away as though
Nathaniel and Quinn did not exist at all.
After all, why did he have to bite back if a dog bit him?
When he realized that Gerald was simply ignoring them, Nathaniel could not help but feel a little angry.
Just as he was about to attack Gerald, the student who had been training inside the car was already done with her training, and
the car door was slowly opened.
At this time, a white and slender wrist was exposed.
All the boys and girls who were waiting for their turns including Gerald quickly turned around to look toward the direction of the
car.
“Look, everyone! That beauty is coming out!”
