The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 351

It was at that moment when Gerald finally arrived.

In his hand was his own bracelet which he had bought the day before.

Though Giya had said that breakfast was going to be on her, Gerald had given it some thought while he was on his way there. Since he was planning to leave the girls alone once the bracelet had been handed over to her anyway, he might as well treat them to one final breakfast.

He was prepared to pay the bill no matter what.

However, as he approached their table, he noticed that Yacob was also there. What more, it seemed that Yacob had just given Giya his own bracelet gift.

“Gerald! Over here!”

Giya had not wanted to look at Yacob so she had been staring at the staircase. The moment she saw him, she smiled and waved her hand to call Gerald over.

“Why’s that kid here too?”

The expression on Yacob’s face instantly soured the moment he saw Gerald.

It was a rare occasion for him to be able to spend time together with Giya and the other girls. However, Yacob’s jealousy evaporated the moment he saw how Gerald was dressed.

However, it was still slightly troubling to him since Gerald was obviously getting closer to Giya.

“Of course he’s here! Giya specially invited Gerald here for breakfast today! You’re actually sitting in his seat now, Yacob!” replied Tammy.

“Hold on… What’s that in your hand, Gerald?”

“Well, it’s partly my fault that her bracelet fell out of my hands the day before so I got her a new one!” replied Gerald bluntly.

“Gerald! Didn’t I say you didn’t have to compensate me? You’re spending way too much money for just a jade bracelet! I never blamed you in the first place!”

It was no secret to her that Gerald wasn’t too rich since she overheard conversations about him from time to time.

It was too bad since he was the one who had helped her in the first place. However, now he had spent so much just because of her.

How could she possibly rest easy?

What more, Giya really hadn’t thought much about the bracelet since it wasn’t really worth much to her anyway.

She felt slightly anxious now.

“Hah! How much money would this kid even have to spend in the first place? You’re overthinking it, Giya. He probably bought the gift for a few dollars at the night market!” said Yacob coldly.

“Hahaha! Don’t worry we’re aware of the possibility. How could Gerald ever afford to pay for a seven thousand and five hundred dollar bracelet?” Tammy laughed after saying that.

“Also, tell us the price of the jade bracelet already! We really can’t guess it!” she continued.

“Alright, alright. I’ll just tell you the price then. It’s not too much. It only cost around eighteen thousand dollars!”

While he was speaking, he kept peeking at Giya to see what her reaction was.

However, Giya’s expression remained indifferent.

All the other girls however, were stunned.

“Eight… Eighteen thousand dollars?!” shouted Tammy.

The other girls couldn’t say anything, their mouths wide open in shock.

Even a few other female students who were sitting close by constantly peeked at their table.

The bracelet itself already looked spectacular from every angle and felt like a rare gem.

The price reveal after was simply too outrageous and several girls in the shop ended up looking at Yacob with different expressions on their faces.

“My god, Yacob! You’re really willing to spend for Giya!” said one of the girls enviously.

After all, the man had spent eighteen thousand dollars just to buy a gift! How capable was he in order to afford that without going broke?

Were there any girls who could resist this kind of temptation in the world?

“Do you like it Giya?”

Despite knowing that Giya didn’t like him, even if she had a heart of stone, she’d definitely be moved by his gift this time, right?

Giya didn’t bother to answer his question. Honestly she was starting to get fed up with him.

After getting ignored despite his good intentions, Yacob couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable.

While all this was happening, Gerald was still standing where he initially was with his own jade bracelet in hand.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 352

“Heh. Hey, your name’s Gerald, right? Why don’t you take out the jade bracelet you bought for Giya and show it to us too?”

In his mind, Yacob thought that Gerald was most definitely the reason why Giya had been ignoring him all this time.

Therefore, he was targeting Gerald now.

“Forget about mine! The jade bracelet which I bought is nowhere near as good as yours. You don’t have to look at it!” said Gerald truthfully.

After all, he had simply bought a jade bracelet which cost seven thousand and five hundred dollars for Giya. It was nowhere near the absurd price of Yacob’s gift.

Besides, if he really wanted to mock Yacob, it’d be easier for Gerald to just slap the boy in the face.

However, Gerald didn’t want to get involved with him or Giya and her friends too much in the future so he abstained for now.

Mila was sincere to him so he wanted to do the same.

Therefore, there was no reason for him to compete with Yacob. Nothing good would ever come of it nor would he gain anything.

“That’s right, Gerald! Don’t be shy, we won’t laugh at you. Show us already!” said Tammy.

Before he could even respond, Tammy had already walked up to Gerald. She grabbed the box from his hand and placed it atop the table.

All the girls were looking forward to it.

Imagine comparing an eighteen thousand dollar jade bracelet to one that just cost a few dollars!

The difference would be like heaven and hell.

Tammy opened the box in one swift movement.

Gerald simply lowered his head, knowing he was about to get ridiculed. After this, he would simply need to look for a reason to excuse himself and leave.

Everything would be settled and he wouldn’t owe Giya anything anymore.

He waited for the mocking to start.

He waited, and waited, and waited.

But it never came. Neither Tammy nor Yacob were mocking him at all.

Peeking up to see what was taking them so long, he saw Tammy staring at his jade bracelet, an extreme look of shock on her face.

“Gerald… this… this bracelet… You bought this jade bracelet?” stuttered Tammy when she finally mustered the strength to speak.

The rest of the girls had still not recovered from the revelation, their mouths left wide open, speechless.

“F*ck! That’s the dragon jade bracelet! I saw this thing online and it sold for about thirty thousand dollars!”

“I’ve heard about it too! Could this just be a high grade imitation jade bracelet? I’d like to believe so but… The color. It just seems too realistic to just be an imitation!”

“What do you mean a high grade imitation? It’s really easy to authenticate it from a fake so imitating it in the first place is impossible!”

“That’s true! Oh my god! Gerald’s jade bracelet is worth thirty-two thousand dollars!”

If the girls had not actually seen and held on to the actual product at that moment, they wouldn’t have believed that statement even if it cost them their lives.

However, there it was. The dragon jade bracelet in their hands.

Gerald was stunned as well and he felt cold sweat begin to drip from his forehead.

F*ck! He had grabbed the wrong box this morning! Even though the two boxes were quite similar, Gerald had marked them with the numbers, seven and thirty-two, to differentiate them.

He made sure to check that he was holding on to the cheaper bracelet’s box before he left with it, so what was the thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet doing here?

D*mn it!

Gerald’s heart was beating frantically.

Everyone else was still shocked speechless!

Even the surrounding female student customers had gotten off their seats and gathered around their table by this point.

“Let me see that!” said Giya as she gingerly took the jade bracelet from Tammy’s hands.

After carefully examining it, Giya looked at Gerald with a look of disbelief on her face. “…It’s the real deal. It’s absolutely authentic. Gerald, did you buy this?”

Gerald had no idea how to answer her.

While all this was happening, Yacob’s face had grown to be as red as a tomato. His cheeks were flushed with both surprise and anger. He felt as if he had just been slapped hard on the face!

“H-heh! And here I thought that you were an honest guy. You’re just another one of those pretentious folk, aren’t you? Saying that your own bracelet wasn’t as expensive as mine… You’re doing this on purpose to mock me, aren’t you?”

Even Yacob’s taunts were said in a slightly quivering voice. He couldn’t help but feel extremely anxious at how he utterly lost face today.

“I… didn’t… mean it… I really thought that mine was cheaper than yours… Who could have guessed that it was actually more expensive?”

Those words were true as Gerald had not wanted to compare his bracelet to Yacob’s in the first place.

At that moment, Gerald suddenly recalled that he hadn’t touched the two jade bracelets at all since he had brought them back to the dormitory. Someone must have either accidentally, or deliberately switched them around. He would ask Harper and the boys about it when he got back.

Hearing Gerald’s honest reply, Yacob felt like he had received a punch in the gut this time. He was beyond embarrassed at this point.

“Hurry up and answer us Gerald! Did you buy this jade bracelet?”
