The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 221

“Gerald?”

Lilian and Sharon walked over and they glanced at Gerald and Queta.

Lilian and Sharon had always wanted to go on a trip before they graduate and previously they heard about how beautiful Yorknorth was from Hayward and he had invited them to pay a visit. Since they were free, they decided to visit the Yorknorth Mountain. They never thought that they would see Gerald there.

“You know him, Lilian?” one of the girls frowned.

They were judging Gerald by the way he looked and then they glanced at Queta and thought she was as poor as Gerald. They were all not very friendly.

“Of course! He’s the high school classmate that I’ve mentioned yesterday. What a coincidence!” Lilian sneered.

Lilian was surprised the last time she found out that Gerald knew Yancy at the class gathering. Everyone thought Gerald was finally being advanced but then she soon realized Yancy did not even remember him after the gathering.

When people asked Yancy if he knew who Gerald was, he immediately answered no. Rumour has it that Yancy always acted as if he knew somebody. The last time at the gathering, he must be fooling around with Gerald too.

After Lilian knew that, she felt good for insulting Gerald.

“Is that your girlfriend, Gerald?” Sharon asked.

Gerald then shook his head.

Poor people should find a girlfriend that was equally poor. Looking at the both of them made Sharon feel that they were really cheap.

Sharon felt so ridiculous reminiscing the days that she flirted with Gerald.

“No, this is my best friend!” Gerald said.

“I’d say, even though Queta is poor, she’s pretty enough to not be Gerald’s girlfriend!” Hayward said. He knew Queta since young and knew that her foster parents were living at Yorknorth Village.

“Hayward, you know her?”

“Of course! Let me tell you about her…” Hayward whispered to the girls.

The girls looked at Queta even more scornfully.

Queta knew that Hayward was telling them that she was an orphan, a child that nobody wanted. She was holding onto the corner of her shirt tightly because she felt embarrassed.

Gerald grabbed her hand letting her know that he was by her side and said, “Let’s get out of here, Queta!”

Gerald did not want to have anything to do with his high school classmates.

“Aw, someone is angry! Since you guys are here, why not have some skewered lamb? I believe you guys have not tasted it before. We need someone to help us with the skewers too. You two should stay!” Lilian sneered as she said.

Lilian just got the idea of having two free laborers that could work for them and it was a waste to not use them.

Gerald ignored them.

“Queta, do you think you should be leaving? Don’t you remember who saved your foster parents’ gravestone? We are treating you to a meal and all we need is some help with the skewers!” Hayward taunted her playfully.

Hayward didn’t talk much last time because he didn’t have any status. Things have changed now. People were channeling around him ever since the village was going to be developed.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 222

His insults were very useful toward Queta though. Queta stopped and said, “You could leave first, Gerald. I’ll help them!”

Queta knew everything about Gerald and promised to cover up for him. She knew Gerald would not do these kinds of things and these people did not deserve to let Gerald serve them.

Queta decided to stay.

Gerald did not want to leave Queta alone. It was just skewers! He then decided to accompany Queta.

After they decided to stay, he called Zack and told him about his situation and asked him to go back by himself first.

Meanwhile, Hayward and the others immediately ordered some lamb, barbeque stove and a few boxes of beer.

The barbeque party had then started.

It took Gerald and Queta hours to finish putting those meat together.

“Here’s 50 skewered for you two. Take a small stove and move aside!” Lilian arrogantly passed Gerald some skewered and went back to their stove.

That was all Gerald wanted.

Suddenly he heard them shouting.

“Sharon, are you serious? Are you really going to break up with Murphy?”

“Yeah. We had been arguing for the past two days and I really think we aren’t that match. I’m going to let him know tonight! In fact, I think Murphy has been flirting with another girl too!” Sharon said.

“What a jerk! How could he do that to you behind your back? He seemed to love you a lot! That’s so disgusting! You deserve someone better!” a girl shouted.

“I agree! If Murphy is such a jerk, you should really just break up with him! There are better looking and richer guys out there!” Lilian said.

Sharon nodded as she caressed her hair.

Truth to be told, Sharon had already decided to break up with Murphy ever since the class gathering when she saw Murphy acting like a slave in front of Yancy.

She used to think that as long as the guy was good to her and was hardworking, she would not mind but she was too naive.

Especially in front of rich people, you would be nothing if you’re just working for them.

Gerald was a very good example. No matter how hardworking he was, he would still be working for other people.

Sharon’s mindset was slowly changing.

“Sharon, as a friend and it’s not the first time we are seeing each other so, I have to tell you that you deserve a better one!” Hayward said.

Sharon looked at Hayward as she combed her hair and smiled. The gesture was as if she was telling Hayward she would give her best.

Everyone there felt something about that gesture. They all felt that Sharon was interested in Hayward and Hayward felt the same too.

They were flirting with each other.

Sharon knew that after Hayward had become rich, it would be better to be with him as compared to be with Murphy.

Lilian frowned at their gestures. Jealousy got in her head.

Hayward was her classmate and she would only introduce so many male friends to Sharon because she has a boyfriend, Murphy. After knowing that Hayward was going to be rich, Lilian wanted to make her move on him but she realized she might have just brought Hayward and Sharon together.

Lilian would have never thought that her best friend would be her enemy and she was annoyed.

Meanwhile Gerald came over to take some skewers and Lilian threw her temper at him.

“You disgusting imbecile! All you do is fucking eat! Asshole!!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 223

Lilian was jealous.

She was in no way in a good mood and felt Gerald more of an eyesore when she saw him coming over.

She could still maintain some basic form of courtesy in the past, but as soon as Lillian saw him, she started scolding him.

In short, she had said lots of bad stuff in public.

Everyone came, and after some persuading, Lilian finally cooled down a little.

Gerald really wanted to do one thing right now. He was dying to give Lilian a tight slap across her face.

It was already bad enough that she was continually ridiculing him.

Now, she was directly provoking and looking down on him.

“Okay. That’s enough, Lilian. Why nitpick? If he is willing to eat, then just let him eat. You have your own reputation to take care of. After all, you will become a teacher, and you’ll have a stable job with a permanent income!” Hayward said with a smile.

When she saw that Hayward had personally come over to persuade her, Lilian finally calmed down.

“Sigh. This person just makes me so annoyed and frustrated. Although you were poor before, Brother Hayward, at least you are rich now after receiving compensation. You won’t forget and disregard me just because of that, right?” Lilian asked as she leaned onto Hayward.

“Why would I even do that? No matter what happens, you, Lilian, will always be my good friend,” Hayward replied with a laugh.

Those words made Sharon feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, everyone present could sense something wrong in the atmosphere tonight, and obviously, a tug of war was brooding between Lilian and Sharon.

Both rivals kept fighting secretly as they stuck around Hayward.

Hayward’s hometown was about to be redeveloped. No matter how things would shape up, he was sure to receive a few properties in return. And just like that, he would bag a few million dollars, and his financial security ensured.

It was no wonder the two beauties were fighting so fiercely over him.

“Gerald, come here! This one’s already roasted!”

Queta looked at Gerald, now clenching his fists, and looked like he was about to explode. Hurriedly, she pulled Gerald aside.

Queta continued advising and persuading Gerald.

And Gerald did not lose his temper because of her persuasion.

Hahaha. They could patronize him all they wanted now. One thing, though. He couldn’t help but wonder what Lilian and Sharon’s faces would look like when he could finally announce his identity.

Would they regret their actions today?

Gerald smiled bitterly.

Ignoring them, he simply enjoyed the view of the lake with Queta.

That night, Hayward put everyone up at the village guest house.

Gerald saw that it was late at night, and it seemed as though Queta really wanted to spend the night here. It was probably because she missed the times she had with her adopted parents.

After Lilian and the others retreated to their rooms, Gerald got Queta and himself a room each.

In short, apart from the incident with Lilian, Gerald’s day was reasonably relaxing.

He really couldn’t wait for the mountain to be developed. When that happened, he could live all by himself in peace and quiet.

It was a quiet night.

Early the next morning, he drove Queta down the hill. He hoped he wouldn’t run into Lillian and the others. He might just beat them up for real this time.

Gerald suddenly hit the brakes, and the car came to an abrupt halt.

“There is still some time before you start work, and I have some spare time before my class starts. Let’s go to that Michelin Restaurant for some food.” Gerald pointed at the Michelin Starred Restaurant beside the road.

“Wow? I’ve heard my colleagues saying Michelin Restaurants are really pricey. Only the rich like you can afford those places! I’m not going in!”

Queta shook her head and looked to the floor.

Gerald smiled. “Don’t worry! I’m cool if you feel like dining here every day.”

Ever since he became posh, Gerald’s confidence had puffed up significantly, especially in the way he spoke.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 224

So what if the Michelin was costly? Couldn’t he afford eating here every day?

Queta could not stop Gerald from quickly booking a nice table directly from the internet.

In the end, Gerald decided to bring Queta into the Michelin Restaurant.

“Hello, Sir. The number of guests?

After they entered the restaurant, the waitress walked over and greeted them with a smile.

“Two of us! I have already booked a table!”

Gerald replied calmly.

The waitress frowned a little. After all, no matter how she looked at the two, neither looked like they could afford to eat at the Michelin Restaurant.

However, she simply nodded politely because of her professionalism.

She was about to ask Gerald which table he had booked.

At this time, a couple of men and women walked over to them.
