Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 341
“…What the f*ck?”
“…Huh?”
Both Sharon and Lilian were dumbfounded as they watched Gerald leave with the two boxes.
The boxes which contained the two jade bracelets that had almost scared Sharon to death earlier.
The moment her issue had been resolved, Sharon felt that she could finally breathe again.
However, she now felt as if someone had just kicked her in the head. Her mind went blank.
Gerald was the one who had bought the two jade bracelets?
Lilian and Hayward’s eyes were open wide in shock.
This was especially the case for Lilian. She was so shocked that she didn’t hold on to one of the jade pieces firmly enough and accidentally dropped it onto the ground where it shattered.
“Wait! Gerald! You… You were the one who bought the two jade bracelets?” asked Lilian in surprise.
Gerald simply ignored her and continued to walk away with the jade bracelets in hand.
He was beyond angry this time. There was no need to bother explaining anything to them.
“Humph! He could just be buying them with someone else’s money! Forget about him! Sharon, Lilian, why don’t we head to a restaurant and enjoy a nice meal together instead?”
Hayward didn’t want to get outdone.
D*mn it! It felt as if Gerald had just sent an abrupt slap to his face!
The only reason he was willing to spend that much money today was because he wanted to win Sharon over.
No matter how he tried to dice it, deep inside he knew that Gerald had clearly outdone him this time.
“What the hell is even going on here…? Was he really the one who bought the jade bracelets? Where did he get all that money from?” they questioned aloud as they left the jewelry shop.
Both Sharon and Lilian felt very uncomfortable.
They were both afraid that it was indeed the truth.
If Gerald was now somehow richer than they were, that would be even scarier than the events that had taken place in the shop earlier.
Out of the blue, Lilian suddenly came up with an idea.
“Why don’t we invite Gerald to have a meal with us? After eating, we could ask him more about it. After all, you guys saw him buying the cell phones last time. He must really be rich! We must ask him about it to get to the bottom of this!”
“While I do think that that’s a good idea, I’m not sure if he’ll be willing to even sit with us after the way I treated him earlier,” said Sharon a little worriedly.
“Relax, just leave it to me. What do you think, Hayward? Should we investigate and get to the bottom of this together?” asked Lilian.
Hayward had an extremely displeased expression on his face up till the point Lilian had asked him for his opinion.
“Hmm? Ah yes, sure! It’s just a regular meal anyway! Go ahead and call him!”
Hayward was having mixed feelings about the entire situation but he had to admit, even he was curious about what on earth was going on.
In the past, Murphy was Hayward’s strongest competitor.
While Sharon had indeed mentioned that she had nearly fallen in love with Gerald during her high school days, he hadn’t regarded Gerald as a competitor at all.
Now, however, he was struck by a realization that this seeming poor boy was actually the biggest threat!
The way Sharon and Lilian were talking about him now was proof of that.
Once the girls were done discussing the matter, Lilian made a phone call to Gerald.
On the other end of the line, Gerald was walking with the bracelets in hand when his phone began to vibrate. He checked to see who was calling and saw that it was Lilian.
She had received Gerald’s contact number when they had met in town for dinner last time.
“Ah! Hello Gerald! Where are you now? I’ll be frank, I’m feeling a little embarrassed about everything I had said to you earlier. Now that I’m calm, I realize that I shouldn’t have treated you that way.”
“I’m sorry as well! I was overly impulsive earlier!” shouted Sharon hurriedly into the phone.
“Essentially, both of us regret treating you the way that we had. We want to invite you over to have a meal with us right now so that we can formally apologize to you. Maybe even reminisce a little!” Lilian continued.
A wry smile was on Gerald’s face as he heard all this. If he hadn’t walked out of the shop with the two jade bracelets in hand, they would never even have thought about apologizing in the first place, let alone decide to reminisce about their past.
To put simply, it was all about the money again.
If you had money, people would want to befriend you.
However, if you were penniless, just remembering your name would be giving face to you!
Gerald knew that well. As long as he had money, both he and Sharon could even pick up from where they left off and pretend as if the three-year gap had never happened.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 342
“Haha! It’s fine, forget about it. It wasn’t a big deal!”
Gerald did not want to go.
“No, no Gerald, I insist! You don’t look down on us, do you? You would never look down on your own high school classmates, right? Or do you secretly look down on us because you were admitted to Mayberry University while we only took the normal entrance exams for normal universities and colleges? I see how it is now!” said Liana shamelessly.
“You know I don’t mean that! Fine, let’s have a meal together!” Gerald said before sighing. How could anyone be this shameless?
Gerald was at a loss for words.
However, since it was only a meal, he was willing to just eat together and be done with it. After all, he had nothing to lose. Besides, it was an opportune time for him to prevent them from having anything more to say about him in the future.
He would just join them for their meal and see what they had to say then!
Gerald nodded to himself before turning around again.
They didn’t eat in any of the stores in Mayberry Commercial Street. Instead, they went to an ordinary restaurant right next to that street.
Sharon had ordered a lot of delicious dishes for Gerald.
“So tell us, Gerald, how did you become so rich?”
The topic was finally brought up by Lilian. Sharon listened in closely as well. It was the highlight of their concerns.
“Rich? When did I ever become rich? I’m penniless!”
Gerald held back his laughter as he enjoyed the expressions on their faces. They were both hilarious and ridiculous at the same time. He was no longer angry. Rather, he was feeling playful at the moment, so he simply replied in a plain and casual manner.
He then took some roasted pork knuckles and rice before savoring them.
“Pft! You’re really mischievous aren’t you, Gerald? You’re getting quite good at acting I see!” said Lilian as she laughed.
She had studied art before this and that included a bit of theatre. She was less rigid than the other two for sure.
As she spoke, she also slightly pinched Gerald’s thigh.
“I… I really don’t have any money!” said Gerald again.
“Hmm… If you don’t have any money, how did you manage to fish out seven to nine thousand dollars just to buy cell phones? What more, how could you have bought the two jade bracelets today without having any money? The dragon jade bracelet alone cost around thirty-two thousand dollars! You’re not deceiving anyone, Gerald.”
Gerald groaned slightly as Lilian continued questioning him.
Sharon simply continued to stare at Gerald, her eyes wide open.
“Ah, those? That money doesn’t belong to me! I’m just running some errands for some people! I’m going to be sending the bracelets over to the buyer immediately after this!”
Gerald really didn’t want to tell them the truth.
By deceiving them, the best outcome he could foresee was that they would just continue treating each other as strangers in the future.
“Ahh… I see. So the money really wasn’t yours?”
Lilian and Sharon exchanged glances. They both felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off their shoulders.
“Say, Sharon, could you pass the pork trotters over to me? I can’t reach it from here!” said Gerald to see their reaction.
“D*mn it! Why are you still eating pork trotters now? Are you some pig? You’ve already eaten so much! Just look at how unpromising you already look!” said Sharon coldly as she glared at Gerald.
D*mn it… I really thought you were rich for a second there… That was the only reason why you were invited in the first place… I guess in the end you were just being an errand boy for someone else!
While those were the thoughts in Sharon’s head, Lilian had begun inching slowly away from Gerald.
Once she was sitting quite far away, she said coldly, “Oh, Gerald Crawford. I used to think that though you were poor, you would at least be useful in the future since you’re good at studying anyway. However, now that I look at you, I feel that you’re only going to become more useless in the future!”
Apparently he was going to be called by his full name now.
“Didn’t you guys say that we should support each other and provide helping hands since we’re all in Mayberry City anyway? Since you guys are obviously doing better than me, could you lend me a helping hand as well? After all, we’ve been classmates for three years in high school!” asked Gerald.
“Oh my god! As if we could help you! What can you even do? You shouldn’t talk about our high school days anymore. I haven’t even spoken to you for so long! Why don’t just keep chatting with Sharon? Weren’t you two almost a couple back then? Sharon definitely still likes you!”
Lilian said this deliberately for Hayward to hear.
Sharon caught on to what she was trying to do immediately. “What do you mean by that Lilian? How could I ever like Gerald! I’ve never liked him!”
As Sharon ended her sentence, she slammed her chopsticks on the table angrily.
The two then started to argue.
Hayward could only try to persuade them to stop fighting each other.
Ah, to be as rich and handsome as he was, was a sin.
Gerald paid no attention to them and simply continued eating while also enjoying the lively atmosphere.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open rather loudly.
Several police officers suddenly walked in.
“Is that them?” asked a policeman coldly as he pointed toward Gerald and the others.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 343
At that moment, several police officers walked into the room along with the one who had initially pointed at them.
“That’s them!”
An angry voice came from someone who had white gauze wrapped all-around their head. As he walked closer, the group could finally make out who the person—who was pointing at Hayward—was.
‘His name was Murphy right?’ Gerald thought to himself.
The situation was quite clear. After Hayward had attacked Murphy, Murphy must have called the police after getting his injuries treated. It seemed that the police had managed to track them here through the help of the surveillance cameras on Mayberry Commercial Street.
If that wasn’t enough, Hayward had also booked a table at a restaurant near Mayberry Commercial Street under his name.
“Alright then, we’ll be needing all of you to come with us!” a single police officer said coldly.
Both Hayward and Sharon began panicking.
Even though Hayward was feeling rather superior a few seconds ago, his actions had come back to bite him. After all, he had crashed a vase over Murphy’s head earlier.
Though he was clearly anxious, his next response was to brazenly say, “Sure, let’s go! I’ll be released after two hours anyway!”
“Oh, two hours you say! After you’ve dared to hit my brother? I’d like to see you try!” said a cold and arrogant voice.
A woman soon began walking forward. She stood next to Murphy.
“Sister! That’s the kid who attacked me!” said Murphy as he pointed toward Hayward.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already explained the matter to the inspector! He’ll definitely be upholding justice on your behalf!” replied the woman.
Being able to utter that sentence alone proved that Murphy’s family had sufficient connections to turn the situation from a simple into a rather difficult one.
Hayward began feeling even more nervous now.
Sharon had also not expected Murphy to have such a powerful sister.
As the woman shifted her cold glare from Hayward to look at the others who sat at the same table, she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow in astonishment.
