The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 61-70
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 61
Many boys gathered around immediately, and even Nathaniel was looking in that direction.
Gerald also looked in that direction with a curious expression on his face.
The girl who had just stepped out of the car was indeed very beautiful, and Gerald also knew who she was. In fact, they had just
met not too long ago.
Who else would it have been if it was not Mila?
“Ahh. She is so beautiful! It would be perfect if she could become my girlfriend.” The boy who was standing next to Nathaniel
said, his eyes filled with affection.
He looked like a fool at this time.
“D*mn you! Who said that you could dream about her ever becoming your girlfriend?! Let me tell you, this is the girl our Brother
Victor is interested in! You can just treat her as eye candy, but you should not hope for her to ever become your girlfriend!”
Nathaniel said in a disgusted tone.
“Ahh! Brother Victor. No wonder. Brother Victor is so handsome, and it’s no wonder why the girl that he likes is also so
extraordinary!”
When the other boy heard the name ‘Victor’, he naturally took a step back and drooped a little.
Brother Victor was none other than Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union in the Department of Language and
Literature. Everyone knew that he came from a very well-to-do family and that he drove an Audi A6. There was not a single
person in university who did not know who he was.
How could anyone possibly afford to offend him?
“Who dares to ask this beauty for her phone number? If anyone can give me her phone number, I am willing to pay you fifteen
dollars for it!”
“It’s useless. Someone tried to ask for her number earlier, but she refused to give it!”
“Furthermore, didn’t you hear what that kid said just now? That beautiful girl is the girl that Victor is currently pursuing...”
“Victor is the one who drives the Audi A6 in our school. He specially arranged for someone to come here to keep an eye on his
girl today!”
Some of the girls were very dissatisfied at this time. After all, Mila’s appearance and her beauty far eclipsed the rest of them.
Everyone was gazing intensely at Mila.
Gerald was also no exception and was also staring at Mila.
Smack!
At this time, a small pebble hit his face out of the blue.
What? Who did it?!
Gerald turned around and saw Quinn glaring at him.
“Gerald, you pauper! Who gave you the right to look at that beautiful girl?! Do you have to look just because the other guys are
also looking at her? Don’t you know your own place at all?”
Quinn was a little unhappy because she would have to have dinner with Nathaniel after losing her bet with him because of
Gerald. Besides, she was also jealous and envious of Mila.
Was she not good enough to attract the attention of a pauper?
“Quinn, you’re crazy! What do you think you’re doing?!” Gerald cursed out loud as he was extremely annoyed.
He really wanted to straighten things out with Nathaniel and Quinn.
“Gerald!” Just then, Mila, who had just stepped out of the car, quickly greeted and called out to Gerald as soon as she saw him.
Mila had been in a hurry earlier because she had had to come here for her driving lessons.
Unexpectedly, she was closely watched and stared at by the group of boys as soon as she had arrived.
Most girls enjoyed the feeling of being watched and stared at by boys. However, Mila could not help but feel very awkward and
embarrassed because they had been staring at her from the very beginning to the end. They were even intensely looking on as
she was practicing her driving.
Fortunately, Mila had seen Gerald as soon as she stopped the car.
Mila did not know anyone in the entire training ground, and the only person that she knew was Gerald.
At this time, Gerald also smiled as he nodded slightly at Mila.
“Oh my God! Why does it seem as though sister-in-law knows this pauper?” Nathaniel was very confused.
Even the other boys were staring at Gerald with a curious and appalled look on their faces.
“Why does it seem as though this poorly dressed person actually knows the goddess?!”
“Moreover, it seems as though he has a very good relationship with the goddess! Both of them are talking and laughing together!
Everyone’s jealous and suspicious gazes were all projected and fixed on Gerald at this time. They really could not understand
why the goddess could become friends with someone like him when she was not even interested in looking at any of them.
Truth be told, Gerald was also very surprised.
“Unexpectedly, you are also learning how to drive here...” Gerald smiled slightly.
“Yes! I came and registered for the class yesterday! I think both of us are really fated! By the way, thank you so much for paying
for my milk tea earlier this afternoon...”
Gerald’s conversation with Mila was very simple.
Aside from Xavia and Naomi, Gerald hardly had any other female friends at all. Thus, he did not have much experience when it
came to speaking to girls, and he did not know how to start a conversation at all.
He could only ask a question when he thought about it or answer a question when someone asked him one.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 62
Even though the speaker did not intend for anything, mindless listeners could take their words seriously.
Nathaniel frowned as soon as he heard that Gerald had paid for Mila’s milk tea.
He could tell that both of them obviously knew each other. Moreover, Gerald had paid for Mila’s milk tea? Was there something
more than this between them?
As he thought about it, Nathaniel immediately sent a text message to Victor.
Then, Nathaniel looked at Gerald who was about to continue chatting with Mila before he said, “Gerald, are you here to practice
how to drive, or did you come here to chat with girls? It must have already been hard enough for you to save enough money to
pay for your driving lessons. Aren’t you going to pay more attention to the driving lessons instead?”
Several girls who were standing at the side also looked at Gerald with contempt in their hearts. They had initially thought that this
person was quite honest, but it seemed as though he had completely lost his train of thoughts as soon as he saw a beautiful girl.
Mila could tell clearly that Nathaniel was attacking Gerald, so she quickly defended him. “Nathaniel, what are you trying to say?
Why are you attacking Gerald? You have failed Subject Two twice but you are still attacking others in vain. If you have that much
time, you should focus on studying by yourself instead.”
“I...” Nathaniel’s face turned black immediately.
Vroom!
At this time, the sound of a car roaring suddenly sounded near the playground.
Everyone turned to look in that direction in an instant.
After that, a few of the girls pointed outside as they shouted, “Wow! That Audi A6 is so beautiful!”
“Oh my! Does that car belong to the Brother Victor that he was talking about earlier? I heard that he’s the vice president of the
student union for the Department of Language and Literature!”
“So cool!”
The group of girls could not help but look at the direction of the car enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the car finally stopped in front of Mila, and the tall Victor stepped out of the car immediately, Whitney following suit.
As soon as Victor got out of the car, his eyes naturally fell on Mila and Gerald.
He could not believe it when he received the text message from Nathaniel earlier. However, he realized that Mila was indeed
standing next to Gerald at this time.
“Mila, do you know Gerald personally?” Victor asked curiously.
He was afraid that Mila might have fallen for Gerald’s petty tricks and lies.
“We met and got to know each other today. What’s the matter?” Mila was very displeased with Victor’s questioning tone.
“Nothing’s wrong. Did Gerald tell you anything suspicious? Did he tell you that he has some friends who are driving some limited
edition Ferraris? I’m telling you, that’s all fake! We found out that he is just lying about those so-called friends that he has!”
Victor had already looked into the matter. He believed that it was highly likely that Gerald had spent seven thousand dollars to
experience what it felt like to ride in a Ferrari because he wanted to use this as an opportunity to get close to girls.
Unexpectedly, Gerald also seemed to be interested in Mila.
Mila could not help but frown as soon as she heard Victor’s words.
At this time, Gerald was simply staring at Whitney who was standing beside Victor.
Needless to say, she had taken everything he had said to coax her the last time to heart, even conducting her private
investigation into this matter.
What was wrong with this woman? Why was she so interested in his private affairs?
“Well, Gerald, let me give you a warning now. You’d better stay away from Mila from now onward. Mila is a girl that you will never
be able to have or reach in your entire lifetime! Besides, you are a very hypocritical person, and I absolutely despise you!”
Whitney could still remember everything that Gerald had told her when she saw him getting out of the Ferrari the other day. He
had told her that his friend had driven him back in his Ferrari.
Whitney was still very furious because she could not believe that this guy was so full of shit!
Moreover, Victor also said that Gerald had actually bought milk tea for Mila.
Was this toad trying to get a taste of a swan’s meat?
Whitney’s words made Nathaniel and everyone else at the North Playground look at Gerald as they sneered.
“Whitney, why are you saying all this about Gerald...”
Mila had already known and observed that Whitney was very cold and impolite toward Gerald ever since the last time.
“Mila, I’m just afraid that you will be deceived by this jerk! Gerald is not as simple or honest as you think he is!” Whitney replied
as she glared at Gerald with a stern expression on her face. “By the way, Mila, will you be free tonight? Brother Victor is the host
and he would like to bring you to Homeland Kitchen for dinner tonight! I can come along if you go!” Whitney continued in a sour
tone.
“I will have to practice driving in the afternoon so I might not have time to go for dinner tonight...” Mila did not really want to go for
the dinner with them.
“Oh, can’t you just practice driving some other time? Do you honestly have to practice driving today? Mila, don’t tell me that the
reason you are turning down Victor’s invitation to dinner is because you want to practice driving with Gerald? Don’t you think that
that’s a waste of your time?”
Whitney’s words placed Mila in a very difficult spot. It would be wrong for her to go, and it would be wrong for her not to go.
If she agreed to go for dinner, she would indirectly be saying that she did not want to spend time with Gerald. That would only
embarrass Gerald and put him down.
Truthfully, Gerald was a very good person, or at the very least, Mila felt so.
However, if she declined the dinner, Whitney would never let her off.
Finally, Mila replied, “Okay, I will come for the dinner, but I want to bring someone with me. After all, he helped me out today. I will
be the host tonight and all of us can go for dinner together, okay?”
Then, Mila turned around and looked at Gerald who was standing quietly at the side.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 63
”What?! Mila, you want to bring Gerald with you?” Whitney asked in surprise.
Gerald was also slightly surprised at this time. Through their short-term contact today, Gerald already knew that Mila was the
kind of girl who had a very kind and gracious heart. She did not look down on the poor, and she was not the type of person who
disliked the poor and loved the rich. As long as it was a good person, Mila would treat them as her good friend.
Mila was a sharp contrast in comparison to Whitney, and she was also a very considerate person.
However, Gerald was not interested in attending the dinner with Victor, Whitney, and the rest of their group of friends.
Not one bit!
Mila nodded before she said, “Whitney, Gerald helped me out a lot today. That is the reason why I invited all of you out for dinner
tonight. Of course, Gerald has to come today!”
“Why don’t you all go out and have fun without me instead?” Gerald replied as he smiled at Mila. Naturally, he understood Mila’s
intentions for inviting him to join them for dinner tonight.
“No, you have to come!” Truthfully, Mila had another purpose for inviting Gerald to tag along for the dinner tonight. How could
she possibly not know of Victor’s intentions and interest in her?
This was the only way for her to stay away from Victor as she did not like Victor at all.
At this time, Victor had a very ugly and dissatisfied expression on his face.
He could not say that he would not allow Gerald to attend the dinner tonight, and he could not possibly allow Mila to bear the
costs.
Even if Gerald were to come for the dinner tonight, Victor would never allow Mila to pay for the dinner.
Was he that ungentlemanly?!
Therefore, Victor replied bitterly, “Mila, it’s settled then. I will buy you dinner tonight. You did not follow us for lunch at Homeland
Kitchen the last time, so you have to come along with us for dinner tonight. As for Gerald, he can come if he wants to...”
Mila nodded slightly.
Whitney glared at Gerald as she said, “Hmph! You’re lucky that Victor is allowing you to join us for dinner tonight! However, you
should remember that the only reason you’re invited to dinner tonight is because you helped Mila. Otherwise, you should not
even be dreaming about it!”
After saying that, Whitney turned around to look at Mila before she said, “Mila, I will see you tonight then!”
As soon as she was done speaking, Whitney turned around and left with Victor.
‘Ugh!’ Gerald could not help but sigh in his heart.
If this was the case, there was nothing else he could do but tag along for the dinner.
As Gerald did not want to think of anything else, he simply focused on his training.
He continued practicing his driving until late in the evening.
Whitney came to pick Mila up in Victor’s car.
Quite a few people were joining them for dinner that night, and most of them were the boys and girls who were also close to
Victor as they were part of the student union.
Quinn and Nathaniel were also amongst the crowd of people joining them for dinner.
They arrived at Homeland Kitchen after a short drive. Victor was very generous and had already booked a very luxurious and
exquisite room for them.
Gerald simply followed them into the room without saying anything at all.
Gerald did not pay much attention to his surroundings and did not even notice a waiter glancing at him as he walked passed him.
The waiter had a surprised look on his face before he hurried downstairs for inexplicable reasons.
“Mm. I guess this must be the first time someone has ever stepped foot into this restaurant. I’m afraid that he will not have a
second chance to do so!”
Everyone was very excited at this time. Moreover, Quinn was glancing at Gerald as she targeted her sarcastic remark at him.
“Quinn, you’re wrong. Gerald has already been here before. He bought his classmates dinner here last time, and I heard that he
spent a lot of money here that night!”
Whitney quickly replied as she explained what she recalled the last time.
Quinn and Nathaniel were both very surprised when they heard Whitney’s words.
At this time, Whitney continued talking about how Gerald had won the lottery and immediately splurged on his classmates.
Everyone could not help but stare at Gerald as though they were looking at an idiot.
Gerald could not be bothered to explain himself to them and simply sat quietly in the corner.
“Did you win the lottery?” Mila suddenly asked in surprise.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 64
”Yes, I won a bit of money!” Gerald replied as he smiled.
“Why did you spend all that money? Didn’t you save some money for yourself?” Mila asked.
“Save some? Gerald is such a vain person, so how could he possibly have saved any money? Hahaha...” At this time, Victor
had just walked into the room, and he happened to hear everyone discussing how Gerald had won the lottery.
How could he possibly not take advantage of this opportunity to trample on Gerald?
“Okay, okay, everyone, please take your seats. By the way, I ran into the president of the student union from the other
department when I went downstairs just now. I invited a few of them to come over and join us for dinner later!” Victor said as he
laughed.
“That would be perfect, but Victor, even though our room is very luxurious and exquisite, I’m afraid that we will not be able to fit
so many people into our room.”
When Whitney heard that the president of the student union from the other department was also here, she became very
interested and happy.
Whitney really wanted to meet up with them because she was someone who loved to make good and close relationships with
anyone who had power and status.
“Yes! Three of them will be coming over to join us. If it was just two of them, it would be easy for us to squeeze them in. However,
it is clearly difficult for us to squeeze another extra person in!” Victor said anxiously as he scratched his forehead.
Gerald knew that he was deliberately saying those words to him.
Now, the only reason why Gerald came for the dinner tonight was because he was giving Mila face.
Gatherings with friends were always like this. One friend would be invited, and he would invite another friend, and so forth.
Even though the host would feel uncomfortable with this situation, he would not be able to say anything at all.
Gerald was placed in a very tough spot because Mila was the one who had invited him here tonight.
Sigh. Tough love. Gerald could not help but sigh to himself.
When he saw the jug of juice on the table, Gerald wanted to pick it up to pour himself a cup of juice.
However, before he could pick up the jug, someone turned the Lazy Susan around and moved the jug of juice away from him.
Since there was now a pot of tea in front of him, Gerald decided to drink some tea instead.
However, before he could pick up the pot of tea, someone turned the Lazy Susan again.
Who was it?
Gerald was startled and raised his head to look around, only to notice that Whitney had one hand placed on the Lazy Susan.
She was also glaring at him.
“Gerald, didn’t you hear what Victor just said? He said that this table would be overcrowded and there would be one extra person
at this table!”
What did it have to do with him even if there would be one extra person at the table?
He really had to teach this woman a lesson when he had the opportunity to do so.
Gerald had truly had enough of Whitney’s nonsense.
“He is so shameless! He is eating for free, and he is actually occupying someone else’s seat as though he belongs here!” Quinn
also chimed in contemptuously.
She naturally said this on behalf of Victor and everyone else at the table. After all, she had nothing good to say to Gerald since
she also personally despised and looked down on him.
“Mila, why don’t you ask Gerald to go back first? You can just invite him out for dinner next time. Just look at how messy and
difficult the table arrangement and seating is now! This is completely unnecessary!” Whitney began to persuade and work her
charms on Mila at this time.
Mila frowned immediately. If she had known that something like this would happen, she would not have come here with Gerald at
all.
At this time, Mila was contemplating whether to leave the restaurant with Gerald.
Before she could say anything, Quinn pointed at a small table next to them before saying, “Well, Gerald does not necessarily
have to leave. However, he will need to go and sit at that small table over there to eat his dinner instead. We will give him some
dishes on a plate. That would not make much difference for him anyway, right?”
“Okay then, I think that’s a great idea. Since Gerald is just a pauper, we should not let him get used to eating too many good
dishes anyway. Otherwise, he will not be able to afford to pay for his appetite in the future!” Nathaniel agreed with Quinn as he
laughed.
These bunch of people really had very foul mouths!
To be honest, Gerald just wanted to slam his hands on the table and leave immediately.
However, as soon as he stood up, Gerald changed his mind immediately.
Leave?
If he left, wouldn’t he be teased and ridiculed all day by them for no reason at all?
D*mn it! He was not going to leave today! After all, how could he possibly allow them to bully him in his own territory?
This thought ran through Gerald’s mind in an instant.
After that, he nodded before he said, “Okay, that’s fine. I will just sit at that small table.”
After he had spoken, Gerald grabbed his stool before sitting down directly in front of the small table.
At this time, someone suddenly pushed the room door open...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 65
At this time, one young man and two young women walked into the room with the floor manager from last time.
The young man and the two young women looked like students from the other department in their university.
The young man was very handsome and tall, and the two young women were dressed in short skirts and were both very
beautiful.
This felt like a scene where the guy had won over two beautiful girls for himself.
Gerald could not help but feel a little uncomfortable when he witnessed this scene. Why couldn’t he be liked by beautiful girls
such as this? Ugh...
The tall young man greeted each of them one by one.
Just then, he suddenly saw Gerald who was sitting alone at the side.
“Hello, brother! My name is Lenny Dumont! I am the president of the student union for the management department. Let’s... be
friends?”
The young man quickly greeted Gerald with a very sophisticated smile on his face.
The two beautiful girls who had come with him also stared curiously at Gerald.
However, when they saw his casual clothes and the way Gerald was dressed, they started feeling a little contemptuous.
“Hahaha! Lenny, you don’t have to introduce yourself to him or befriend him. His name is Gerald, and he is just a pauper in our
department! He came here today just to enjoy a free meal!” As a committee member of the student union, Nathaniel naturally
knew Lenny. Therefore, he quickly spoke up as he smiled.
“Oh... I thought so too! Hahaha!” Lenny hurriedly retracted his outstretched hand as he laughed faintly.
Then, he continued laughing and chatting with Victor.
Mila was really angry at this time. She truly regretted bringing Gerald here with her today, and she honestly felt like leaving with
him.
However, Gerald was still smiling, and it did not look like he had suffered any damage to his self-esteem despite their constant
attempts to ridicule and humiliate him. Mila could not help but feel a little curious.
“Craw... Crawford!”
The floor manager who had just entered the private room was completely stunned when she saw Gerald.
She had been dubious when one of the waiters had informed her that the rich man from last time was here again.
Of course, Gerald was not just any ordinary rich man. Otherwise, the floor manager would not have been so shocked to see him.
In fact, the lobby manager already knew of Gerald’s identity because of the general manager at Homeland Kitchen.
Gerald was the overlord of Mayberry Commercial Street. He was Mr. Crawford! The Mr. Crawford!
The reason why she had not said anything earlier was because she had been confused by Victor and Nathaniel’s words.
Wasn’t Gerald the protagonist today?
As the floor manager did not understand what was going on, she did not dare to continue respectfully greeting Gerald as she did
not want to expose his identity.
“Why are you here?” The floor manager asked Gerald in a soft, yet excited manner.
“Oh, sister, didn’t you hear what they said? I’m here to enjoy a free meal!”
Gerald replied as he smiled slightly. Fortunately, someone had recognized who he was. Therefore, it would be easier for him to
place an order later.
“Yes, yes, I heard it!” The female manager nodded quickly.
“Sister Jenny, did you come in person just to take our order?” Victor smiled as soon as he saw the floor manager. He felt that she
was giving him so much face!
Sister Jenny did not say anything at this time, but Victor did not notice anything amiss and simply continued ordering a table full
of dishes.
“Brother Victor, are you going to just order two signature dishes? Can’t you order two more signature dishes for us?” Quinn
asked hopefully at this time.
Wasn’t the taste and characteristics of the signature dishes the thing that stood out the most at Homeland Kitchen?
In truth, Whitney also hoped that Victor would order an additional two signature dishes. However, those signature dishes were
very expensive and she did not want Victor to spend too much money because of them.
Therefore, she hurriedly said, “Two signature dishes would be more than enough! Did you know that one of those signature
dishes already costs more than a few hundred dollars each?”
“Wow!” Quinn was stunned at this time.
Even the two girls that Lenny had brought with him here today were also taken aback at this time.
The dishes at Homeland Kitchen were truly extraordinary indeed.
“Sir...what would you like to eat?” The floor manager asked Gerald cautiously.
“Hahaha. We will just give him some of our leftovers later! Why should he be ordering his own food?” Nathaniel replied as he
snorted coldly.
“Exactly! What is his status anyway? He should be grateful that we are giving him our leftovers,” Quinn added as she glared at
Gerald.
Victor smiled but did not say anything at all. To be honest, he felt that Gerald was not even worth a plate of potato shreds.
Thankfully, he had invited Nathaniel to come along for the dinner tonight.
Otherwise, Victor did not know how else he could humiliate and insult Gerald in front of Mila!
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 66
At this time, Victor was watching the show happily.
“Forget it. Victor ordered food for all of you. If so, I will order something for myself!” Gerald replied with a wry smile on his face.
He had initially planned to slaughter Victor severely tonight, but he knew that this group of people would only ridicule and make
fun of him instead.
Secondly, Gerald knew that he would definitely not be able to order any expensive dishes with Whitney and Nathaniel around.
Moreover, Gerald was not that thick-skinned!
Therefore, he decided to order some food for himself instead.
“That is much better, but what can you afford to order for yourself?” Quinn replied coldly.
“Mm... please fry me a plate of spicy and sour potato shreds. I want it extra spicy. Can you also make me a bowl of hand-sliced
noodles?” Gerald said as he smiled at the floor manager.
“Hahaha! What the hell? Is he trying to make a joke?”
“What? What kind of pathetic person is this? He actually ordered a plate of potato shreds and hand-sliced noodles at a place like
this?”
Everyone in the private room was all stunned, and they could not help but look at Gerald in contempt as soon as they heard his
words.
“I will prepare it immediately!” The floor manager did not dare to neglect Gerald’s commands.
The reason Gerald ordered these dishes for himself was simply because he did not want to hear their constant chattering and
ridicule. He could have just ordered many signature dishes for himself like he did the previous time.
However, he decided to just have a simple meal today.
At this time, Mila could not help but stare at Gerald, filled with great interest and curiosity.
Gerald smiled at Mila before he said, “If you do not have enough food over there later, you can come over and try my hand-sliced
noodles!”
“Okay!” Mila smiled happily when she saw that Gerald was fine.
“This brother is really incredible!” Lenny smiled helplessly as he shook his head.
“Hahaha. Lenny, don’t talk about him anymore. Let’s talk about you. What method did you use to get these two beautiful girls to
come out with you today?” Victor asked as he looked at Lenny with a smile on his face.
The two girls that were with Lenny were indeed very beautiful.
Their long, fair, and slender legs were especially alluring.
“Hahaha. I did not do anything. I simply promised to bring them for a spin in a luxury sports car owned by a good brother of
mine!” Lenny replied with a treacherous look on his face.
“Good brother? Luxury sports car? What kind of luxurious sports car did you use to attract these two beautiful girls to you?”
Nathaniel could not help but ask out of curiosity.
Lenny lit up a cigarette before he said, “Oh! Don’t you know about the Lamborghini Reventon parked nearby our university?”
“Lamborghini?”
Everyone was shocked because they had never seen anyone driving a Lamborghini in their university.
“D*mn it! The Reventon costs about two and a half million dollars, right?” Nathaniel exclaimed in shock.
At this time, Whitney’s eyes also widened in surprise.
“Yes, that’s the one. It’s parked in the carpark not too far from our university! It belongs to one of my good brothers!” Lenny took
a deep breath before he smiled faintly.
Gerald, who was sitting at the side, was also stunned at this time.
When had he ever become good buddies with this guy?
After giving it some thought, Gerald seemed to understand what was going on. Lenny must be taking advantage and making use
of his Lamborghini Reventon to get girls to go out with him.
Gerald knew that something was not right when he saw the treacherous and villainous look on Lenny’s face.
“I see! So, the picture that was posted on the university forum was real! It turns out to be true!” Quinn yelled excitedly.
Then, she took out her cell phone to look for that particular picture to show everyone who was seated around the table.
“Let me see! Let me see!” Whitney also took a deep breath when she saw the picture.
All the girls quickly gathered around Quinn.
“Wow! What a beautiful and cool Lamborghini!”
The girls could not help but scream in excitement.
Even Victor was attracted to the cool and exquisite body of the sports car. The main reason he was in awe was because the car
cost at least two and a half million dollars!
“Lenny, are you honestly telling us the truth? How did you meet such a wealthy and awesome person? When and how did you
meet him?”
Victor asked Lenny up front because he was very jealous.
At this time, Gerald also turned around to look at Lenny.
Yes. When and how did you meet him?
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 67
”We have a very close friendship, but it would not be convenient for me to reveal his identity. My good brother wants me to keep
his identity a secret! Hahaha!” Lenny replied as he put his cigarette out.
At this time, he also had a faint smile on his face.
Everyone was looking at Lenny in amazement right now, and this was especially so for Whitney, who was staring at Lenny in
admiration.
Quinn’s eyes were also sparkling at this time. If what Lenny said was true, would she also have the opportunity to ride in that
Lamborghini that everyone was so crazy about?
Even the boys were all jealous of Lenny at this time.
“Lenny, are you telling us the truth? Or are you using the same trick that you used to trick that small celebrity into dating you?
Are you just bragging now?”
Victor could not believe his ears. After all, he knew all about Lenny’s house and his family’s financial powers. At most, Lenny
could only be regarded as a very small rich second generation.
How could he possibly have gotten to know someone that powerful?
Furthermore, he knew that Lenny had a bad habit of bragging.
“How can that be possible? How could I possibly brag about the Lamborghini Reventon? You should know that it’s true!” Lenny
replied with a wry smile on his face.
“Lenny, I believe you!” Whitney replied as she flashed a charming smile at Lenny.
She glanced at the picture of the luxury sports car from time to time, and she felt very excited whenever she looked at it. She
would be satisfied if she could sit in that car just one time.
Whitney felt that her only chance to do so would be through this young man, Lenny!
Gerald had a bitter smile on his face.
The Lamborghini Reventon car keys were sitting quietly inside his pocket.
As a result, he had become someone else’s ‘good brother’.
This was not the only thing that made Gerald feel really uncomfortable.
Truthfully, Gerald felt even more uncomfortable because of the two beautiful girls who were going out with Lenny because they
thought that he knew the owner of the sports car.
Would he actually be able to pick up girls if he drove the sports car himself?
Would Whitney also fall for it then?
At this time, Gerald could not help but wonder if he had been too low-key all this while. He was really losing out!
Smack!
Gerald suddenly felt something hit his face.
When Gerald raised his head to look up, he realized that Whitney had thrown a small paper ball at his face.
“Hey! Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation? Why? Are you dreaming of sitting in a Lamborghini? Please stop
dreaming. Why don’t you become a transgender instead...” Whitney sneered as she glared at Gerald.
“Why would anyone care about a poor transgender?” Nathaniel quickly chimed in at this time.
Gerald could only look at them helplessly as he listened to their insults once again.
Fortunately, the waiter had already started serving up the dishes at this time.
Even Gerald’s hand-sliced noodles and stir-fried potato shreds were here already.
“Wow! The food looks so delicious and exquisite!”
“Of course, what else would be a better combination than good food and red wine! I will order a bottle of red wine that costs three
hundred dollars for everyone to try today!” Victor quickly announced as he smiled.
Everyone was looking at Victor with admiration on their faces.
Meanwhile, they all ignored Gerald who was sitting by himself at the other table in the corner.
Gerald was busy eating his hand-sliced noodles and stir-fried potato shreds as he was very hungry.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open again, revealing a row of waiters who were standing outside the room.
After that, they walked in with a series of high-end signature dishes from Homeland Kitchen.
All of these dishes had been changed into a smaller dish because they could not possibly fit so many dishes on Gerald’s small
table.
“This... all of our dishes have already arrived. Are all of these your signature dishes?”
Victor was startled when he saw the waiters walking in with all the signature dishes.
“Hello, sir. Sorry, but these dishes are not for you. These dishes are for Mr. Crawford!”
Gerald looked at the waiter in surprise because he had not ordered those dishes either.
“Wait a minute. Just let me make things clear first. I am only going to settle the bill for the food that I ordered for my table. If
Gerald ordered these dishes, I want to clarify that it has nothing to do with us at all!”
Victor was completely taken aback. If he had to foot the bill for all these signature dishes, he would definitely not have enough
money to pay for the dinner tonight.
That was also the reason why he had only ordered two signature dishes.
“Hahaha. Please do not get me wrong. We are giving Mr. Crawford these dishes for free because of the food that he ordered!”
After saying that, the waiter clapped her hands together.
The waiters outside walked into the room one after the other as they placed the signature dishes on Gerald’s table. Some of the
girls had never even seen some of those dishes before in their life.
At this time, the waiters placed twelve different signature dishes on Gerald’s table.
These dishes would easily cost at least three to four thousand dollars!
“This... this... he simply ordered stir-fried potato shreds and you are giving him so many signature dishes for free?!” Whitney
asked as she stood up in shock, utterly stunned.
She too wanted to taste all of the signature dishes at Homeland Kitchen, but it would only be possible for them to order two of
the signature dishes at most each time they came here. Therefore, she would probably have to come here ten to twenty times
before she could finally try all of the signature dishes.
However, who would have the capital or ability to treat her to dinner at Homeland Kitchen ten or twenty times?! These signature
dishes were all very expensive!
Yet, Gerald simply ordered a bowl of hand-sliced noodles and stir-fried potato shreds and they had given him twelve signature
dishes for free?!
All of these were top-notch signature dishes!
At this time, Whitney, Quinn, and everyone else was all stunned as they stared incredulously at Gerald.
Honestly, Gerald had not expected the floor manager to go through all that trouble.
Moreover, he would never be able to finish all of these signature dishes by himself.
Therefore, Gerald casually looked over at Mila before he asked, “Mila, do you want to come here and eat with me instead?”
Mila did not feel awkward or embarrassed at all.
At the same time, Mila also felt that Gerald was truly shrouded in mystery.
Why was everyone treating him with so much respect? Why did they give him so much face?
Mila simply smiled before she nodded and went over to Gerald’s table, sitting directly across him.
The expression on Victor’s face became very ugly when this happened.
“Ahh! Will we receive all these free signature dishes if we ordered stir-fry potato shreds as well? Is the restaurant having some
sort of promotional activity?”
Quinn could barely believe her eyes. She really wanted to try those signature dishes, but at the same time, she was way too
embarrassed.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 68
”Yes, yes, yes! I think the restaurant must be engaging in some special promotional activities!”
Victor also chimed in as he was very unconvinced at this time.
When a waiter walked into the room, Victor asked him directly, “By the way, can I ask you a question? Will we be given all the
special signature dishes for free as long as we order a plate of stir-fry potato shreds?”
The waiter could not help but look at Victor in confusion. Then, the waiter replied in contempt, “Are you crazy? Are you seriously
asking me whether you will be given all our signature dishes for free if you order a plate of stir-fry potato shreds?! There must be
something wrong with your brain!”
After saying that, the waiter shook his head before turning around and leaving immediately.
Homeland Kitchen was one of the most prestigious establishments on Mayberry Commercial Street. Who gave an ordinary guest
such as Victor the audacity to cause trouble for a waiter?
Victor felt as though he had been slapped right in the face.
To think that he had actually dared to ask the waiter that question.
“Gerald, can you even finish so much food all by yourself?!” Whitney could not help but ask angrily.
She was very annoyed and frustrated that Gerald was not offering them any of his delicious food at all.
“Oh. If any of you want to try some of these signature dishes, please do not hesitate to come over here!”
“You!” Whitney was utterly angry at this time. She felt as though the food she was eating was completely tasteless at this time.
She really wanted to try the signature dishes on Gerald’s table.
“I know!” Victor, who had been very flustered, suddenly exclaimed out loud. “Hahaha. Gerald, you must have spent a lot of
money the last time you were here, right? I heard that you spent more than fifteen thousand dollars that night. I guess that is the
reason why the floor manager is giving you special treatment and sending you so many signature dishes for free! Am I right?”
Victor did not dare to think of any other possibilities at all. This was the only possibility and explanation that he could accept.
“Perhaps...” Gerald replied as he smiled. Then, he continued feasting on his food.
“Alright, then. You should continue eating! I will wait and see how you are going to have the mood to keep eating later!” The
expression on Victor’s face suddenly changed at this time.
After that, he stood up immediately.
Gerald had really given everyone in this room a slap across their faces because of the preferential treatment he was receiving.
Victor was especially embarrassed because he could only afford to order two signature dishes, but the restaurant had actually
served Gerald twelve signature dishes all at once.
Moreover, Gerald obviously knew that Victor liked Mila, but he had actually invited Mila to eat with him in front of everyone else!
Victor was extremely annoyed!
“Victor, what do you mean?” Whitney suddenly asked at this time.
“What do I mean? Whitney, didn’t you say that Gerald won thirty thousand dollars from the lottery? Yuri and the rest of the guys
have already cheated him out of more than twenty-two thousand dollars for the dinner the last time. Moreover, Gerald even spent
seven thousand dollars to rent the Ferrari and the driver to drive him around for the day. That could only mean that he is left with
nothing at all now!”
“The restaurant is only giving him so much face because they think that he is rich and has a high consumption and spending
ability. If we tell the floor manager that this guy here is just a pauper who has nothing at all, how do you think they are going to
react, then?” Victor replied coldly as he glared at Gerald.
“Hahaha. The only reason the restaurant is giving him so much face is just because they are hoping that they will be able to
attract the customer to come back and patronize the shop again in the future! If they find out that Gerald will not be able to afford
to come back here, they will definitely not let him off so easily!” Nathaniel could not help but sneer.
“This guy is really unbelievable. He only won thirty thousand dollars in the lottery and he actually spent everything in one go!
He’s pretty remarkable!” Lenny was also laughing when he heard these words.
At the same time, the beautiful girls who were all sitting at the side shook their heads slightly as they stared at Gerald.
“Oh, no! Brother Victor, if we only tell them about this later, do you think the people at Homeland Kitchen will think that we are in
cahoots with him? Do you think they will try to settle the score with us then? After all, we are all in the same room as him!”
Nathaniel patted his forehead as he asked Victor anxiously.
“That’s right! I think we should go down and tell the manager about this matter immediately, lest people misunderstand us!”
“Yes, I agree!”
Victor glared at Gerald before he headed out of the room and went downstairs immediately.
Mila was also feeling a little nervous at this time. “Gerald, is what they said true? Did the floor manager really give you so many
signature dishes just because you spent more than twenty-two thousand dollars here?”
Gerald smiled before he replied, “Mila, it’s okay. Everything is fine. Have you eaten enough? Are you full yet? If you’re full, let’s
go to the counter and settle the bill now. You don’t have to worry about me at all!”
Mila nodded as she listened to Gerald’s words. Then, she followed Gerald down the stairs.
At this time, Whitney and Victor were already talking to the floor manager.
“Just listen to me, manager. Gerald is just a pauper. He is not the wealthy or powerful man you think he is at all! He is so poor
that he cannot even afford to buy a pair of new pants!” Victor said as he pointed his finger at Gerald.
“That’s right! You gave this person so many free signature dishes for nothing at all! If we did not bring him here today, he would
never have had enough money to come in at all!” Nathaniel chimed in immediately.
“Why don’t you ask him to work here to pay off his debts? After all, it would be a complete waste to let him eat those signature
dishes that are worth three to four thousand dollars for free! Do you know that he won thirty thousand dollars in the lottery and
spent twenty-two thousand dollars here straightaway?! After spending the rest of his winnings, he has no more money left!”
Quinn added coldly.
The floor manager simply stood quietly without saying anything at all.
By now, many people had already gathered around the ground floor because of the huge commotion.
“What is happening here?”
“It seems as though there is a pathetic trash who is pretending to be a wealthy and powerful man. However, it seems as though
his cover has been blown!”
“D*mn! There are so many weird people in this world!”
Gerald simply turned a deaf ear to the conversation and discussions going on around him.
He walked down the stairs calmly and headed toward the floor manager.
Then, Gerald smiled as he asked, “Sister Jenny, how much money do I have left in my account?”
This so-called account Gerald was talking about was the money that Zack had already remitted into Gerald’s account after that
night.
This was because they had to calculate the money and return it to Gerald yearly anyway.
“The money that was returned to Mr. Crawford... there is still thirty thousand dollars in your account!”
“Ahh!” As soon as Sister Jenny spoke, everyone in the room could not help but gasp in shock.
“Alright, then. I will top up another forty-five thousand dollars into my account today.” As he spoke, Gerald took out his bank card
before swiping it on the POS system. Within a few seconds, the system displayed that the forty-five thousand dollars had already
been received!
“What?”
“Godd*mn it!”
“Forty-five thousand dollars?!”
Victor’s eyes widened in shock. He felt that the scene before him was simply too unreal.
Everyone else’s mouths were also wide open at this time.
How could this be possible? They had initially thought that Gerald would not have any money left because he would have
already spent all of the thirty thousand dollars.
Unexpectedly, Gerald had thirty thousand dollars in his account at Homeland Kitchen, and he was actually adding another forty-
five thousand dollars to his account!
That was seventy-five thousand dollars!
“Gerald! How much money did you actually win in the lottery?!” Whitney could not help but exclaim out loud at this time.
She had an intuition that Gerald might have won several millions of dollars...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 69
”Alright, Mr. Crawford. We will arrange for a car to send you home right now!”
The female manager quickly spoke respectfully.
Not long after that, a BMW 7 Series that was worth at least one hundred and fifty thousand dollars rolled up, waiting for Gerald
outside.
Victor and the rest of them were all dumbfounded at this time.
They had initially thought that Gerald had already spent the thirty thousand dollars he had won from the lottery. Unexpectedly,
Gerald did not win a mere thirty thousand dollars.
He had won much more than that!
At the same time, everyone could tell that Gerald did not care much about the seventy-five thousand dollars at all.
In other words, Gerald’s winnings were probably much more than any ordinary person could ever imagine.
“Mila, do you want to go back together with me?”
As soon as Gerald got into the car, he rolled down the car window before he smiled at Mila.
To be honest, Gerald had always had a good feeling about Mila who was not only extremely beautiful but also very kind-hearted.
It might be a little inaccurate to say that she was very kind-hearted.
However, at the very least, Mila was not like Xavia and Whitney who only loved the rich and was very crude and rude toward
those who were poor.
“Okay!” Mila smiled before she got into the car.
Whitney’s face turned pale immediately.
The BMW 7 Series was a fully imported car.
She was also very curious and wanted to sit in the fully imported luxury car that was worth one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars! However, Gerald had already instructed the driver to leave without even taking a single glance at her.
At this time, Victor’s face was already green with envy and hatred.
Meanwhile, Gerald and Mila headed back to the university.
“Gerald, can you tell me how much money you won from the lottery?”
As Gerald and Mila were both sitting at the back of the car, Mila could not help but ask Gerald curiously.
“To be honest, there is a slight misunderstanding here. I did not win any money from the lottery. I simply made that reason up!”
Even though Gerald did not want to reveal everything to Mila, he did not want to lie to her either.
“Then, what exactly is going on here?”
Mila felt that Gerald was becoming more and more mysterious by the second.
“I will tell you more about it in the future! Just wait for the time to come. After all, we will not be friends for just two or three days,
right?”
“Of course, not!” Mila could also tell that Gerald was not that keen to reveal his secrets.
This was also a good thing. After all, if Gerald revealed everything to her immediately, there would be no sense of mystery left
anymore. It was much better this way.
Gerald instructed the driver to take Mila back to the girl’s dormitory.
After that, he got out of the car before telling the driver to go back. Then, he started walking back to his dormitory by himself.
“Gerald!”
Suddenly, a girl jumped out in front of Gerald, and he was shocked by her sudden appearance.
When Gerald raised his head to look at the figure in front of him, he realized that it was Quinn.
“How are you back so soon?”
Gerald was rather surprised.
In his opinion, Quinn was not any different from Whitney at all. Both of them were equally despicable and they hated those who
were poorer, only falling in love with the rich and wealthy boys.
Aside from these factors, Gerald had also heard many stories about Quinn in the past.
She was a very beautiful girl with big breasts, long and slim legs, and a very fair face.
She was the kind of girl who looked very sexy and attractive.
However, she was also the kind of person who liked to mess around with good people.
That was also the reason why she had been many different guys’ girlfriend before.
She was also very high maintenance.
Gerald had heard rumors that Quinn had been in a relationship with Victor in the past.
Therefore, this only made Gerald dislike her even more.
“Hmph! You are really amazing. You just left in the car and did not even bother to invite me to join you at all!”
Quinn did not answer Gerald’s question. Instead, she simply poked Gerald in the chest with a coquettish and spoiled expression
on her face.
She had done a one hundred and eighty degree change in her attitude within such a short time frame, and Gerald could not
accept it at all.
“Quinn, it’s already late. You should go back to your dormitory.” Gerald hurriedly replied as he did not want to spend a single
second longer with her.
“Hmph! I can’t sleep even if I go back to the dormitory now. Why? Do you hate me that much? I know... you must be annoyed
because of the way I used to treat you. Do you know why I treated you that way?” Quinn asked as she placed her hands on her
waist.
“Why?”
“I know that you are a good person. However, even though you wear good clothes all the time, you have very bad taste in
fashion! Just take a look at your clothes now! You’ve washed your clothes so many times that it is already so tattered and worn
out! I really hate people who do not have good taste!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 70
”I really don’t know how you got together with Xavia in the past, but I know that both of you have already broken up. Therefore, I
know that you have one less girlfriend who knows how to help you dress up now!”
The meaning behind Quinn’s words was very clear.
She could not help but believe that Gerald was actually wealthy. Very, very wealthy!
If she became Gerald’s girlfriend, Quinn was certain that Gerald would definitely spend most of his money on her.
Besides, aside from his clothes and the way that he dressed, Gerald was actually very handsome.
Now that he was a rich and wealthy guy, he was certainly worthy of becoming her boyfriend!
As for whether or not she felt that she was being very shameless for trying to get together with Gerald after what she had done to
him in the past...
Hah! What was the point in taking care of her own face?
“Um... girlfriend? I have not thought about it yet.”
Even if Gerald honestly wanted to look for a girlfriend, he would not want Quinn as his girlfriend!
After all, Gerald was certain that she would absolutely cheat on him!
“Well, I can’t stop myself from thinking about it. Gerald, why don’t I lose out a bit and be your girlfriend instead? Anyway, I really
do not feel like going back to my dormitory tonight!”
After she spoke, Quinn fluttered her eyes as she leaned toward Gerald.
Truthfully, aside from her bad personality, Quinn was indeed a very beautiful girl.
Gerald felt slightly moved at this time. Of course, he would never take someone like Quinn to be his girlfriend. However, he
would have his revenge if he just had a one-night-stand with her.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gerald’s cell phone suddenly rang.
As soon as he looked at the caller ID, he realized that it was a phone call from the head of his dormitory, Harper.
“Hello, Harper. Why are you looking for me?” Gerald calmed himself down before answering the phone call immediately.
“Gerald, hurry up and come back to the dormitory! Hurry! Something has happened to Harper!”
It was not Harper who spoke to Gerald over the phone but one of his good friends, Benjamin.
He was speaking in a very anxious tone.
Gerald was afraid that something bad had happened, and he ran in the direction of his dormitory immediately.
Meanwhile, Quinn could not help but stomp her feet in frustration. “Hmph! Gerald, you will not be able to escape from my
clutches! I will make sure that you fall for me sooner or later!”
Gerald was very worried about Harper, and he ran at the speed of light. As soon as he arrived at his dormitory, he hurriedly
pushed the door open.
Unexpectedly, someone opened a bottle of beer in front of him, and the beer sprayed all over Gerald’s face.
Immediately afterward, his roommates burst out in laughter.
“D*mn it! What’s going on here?” Gerald asked as he wiped the beer off his face.
He could see Harper, Benjamin, and the rest of his roommates gathered in the dormitory at this time.
Moreover, the table in the dormitory was filled with beer and other dishes that were still untouched. The boys were obviously
waiting for Gerald.
“Gerald, it’s a good day today! Our boss is finally taken!”
Benjamin quickly explained as he laughed.
Gerald could not help but sigh out loud as soon as he heard their words. They had really scared him to death. He had thought
that something bad had happened to Harper.
However, Gerald was very happy for his brother when he heard that Harper was finally attached.
“So, who is my sister-in-law?”
Gerald took the bottle of beer from Benjamin’s hand before drinking a mouthful. It was so cool and refreshing!
“Hayley! We had dinner together at the cafeteria tonight, and she agreed to become my girlfriend!” Harper replied as he
scratched his head, smiling like a fool.
In fact, Gerald had already guessed that Harper’s girlfriend would be Hayley. After all, during this time, even though Gerald knew
that Hayley was close to Jacelyn and Alice, she was not the same kind of person as they were. She was actually a pretty nice
and easy-going person.
Moreover, Gerald knew that Harper really liked Hayley. If Hayley felt the same way about him, Gerald truly felt very happy for his
friend even though he was a little envious.
“Come on, let’s drink and cheer for the boss!”
“Cheers!”
The six brothers were filled with laughter as they drank and chatted together.
At this time, Harper suddenly received a video call from Hayley.
“Harper, what are you doing now?” Hayley’s gentle voice sounded from over the other end of the line.
“I am drinking with my brothers in the dormitory...”
“Hahaha! Harper, brother-in-law, when will you bring us out for drinks?”
At this time, Jacelyn and the rest of the girls had already gathered around Hayley as she was talking to Harper through the video
call.
“Okay! However, you have to wait until all my brothers in the dormitory are in a relationship too! That is why you have to figure it
out for me!” Harper smiled as he pointed his camera toward Gerald, Benjamin, and the rest of the boys.
At this time, Gerald saw Alice sitting next to Hayley. She had clearly just taken a shower as her hair was wet and she was about
to remove her makeup.
At the same time, Alice unmistakably saw Gerald as well...
