The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 481

Wasn’t he just here to meet this girl and become friends?

When Gerald heard those words, he immediately felt uneasy and saw that he was in a position to be obligated to get married immediately.

Unconsciously, he started breaking out in cold sweat.

“First, you have to transfer the title of your house and your car over to my daughter before she marries you. Oh, wait. You don’t have a car yet. So, you can just transfer the title of your house over to my daughter. It should be under my daughter’s name and not under both of your names. This will help ensure that you are sincere, got it?” said the woman.

“Oh… yeah, alright.”

Gerald nodded, his face sullen and numb.

“The most expensive property that I own is worth 120,000,000 dollars. Even if I am willing to give it to you, would you even dare accept it? Hah!”

“Secondly, there’s definitely a problem with your parents. You have a sister, right? I’d better give you a heads up about this. If your sister gets married in the future, you cannot reject the dowry of her fiancee. Instead, you have to accept it and deposit the proceeds into my daughter’s account. My daughter will also be in charge of the salary that you earn and the money earned by your parents. Will that be okay for you? Of course, your parents are not allowed to live with you either. Since your house is in the city, your parents can visit the county for a couple of days if they want. But that said, they will need to source accommodation for themselves.”

The woman continued in a hostile tone.

“Did you hear me?!”

Gerald nodded repeatedly. “Yes, I heard you. You may continue.”

He also whipped out a small notebook and pen from his bag, jotting down everything she said.

This was his first time going on a blind date, but Gerald felt this experience was more than enough. F*ck! He could only dread the other conditions that this woman was going to bring up.

If it weren’t for Sienna’s colleague who introduced this mother-daughter pair to him, Gerald would’ve really doubted if they were going all out to scam him into this marriage.

When the woman saw how obedient and gullible Gerald was, she squealed with delight inside.

She continued rambling on.

“Thirdly, wedding arrangements. I won’t repeat to you where my daughter works, right? Heh. When the time comes, there will be many reputable figures who will be attending your wedding. Hence, your wedding car of choice cannot be your regular runabout. Daughter, what do you think of an Audi?”

The woman could not make up her mind, asking for her daughter’s opinion.

The daughter brushed her fingers through her hair, sighing, “I think a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW should be fine. But if we’re going with a BMW, then it will have to be at least a 7 Series or higher.”

“Sounds good. You can choose between the two then!”

The woman turned to Gerald and commanded.

“As for the fourth…”

“There is a fourth rule? Didn’t you say that there were three rules?”

Gerald asked in surprise, his jaw-dropping slightly.

“You!”

Both the woman and her daughter raised their heads as they stared coldly at Gerald.

“Oh! I’m sorry. The fourth point, the fourth point. Please carry on. I am listening,” Gerald swallowed and replied thoughtfully.

“The fourth point is regarding the wedding gift. We don’t expect too much, but you should be paying attention to the thousands of red and green.”

“Hang on, auntie. How much money are we looking at for thousands of red and green?” Gerald asked, smiling sheepishly.

“Pfft! You’re so stingy. It’s about twenty-two thousand dollars. We want it in cash. We don’t want anything in the form of a bank card, bank book, or anything like that.

We want it all in cash. This is our house rule! Of course, this is the dowry your family should be granting ours if you want to marry my daughter. And we’ll also need to talk about something else. We’ve already spent a ton of money to get this job for our daughter, and we still need to save up for her brother’s education fees too. As such, our family will not be returning the dowry to you. Our only hope is that you both will lead a happy life as a married couple. That’s all!”

“Oh! How could we possibly enjoy a good and happy life?” Gerald quizzed sarcastically as the whole picture seemed too graphic.

“Huh? What did you say?”

The woman was startled.

“I said, alright. Please carry on!”

Gerald quickly flashed a smile.

It was definite that he would not be marrying her. But all those conditions mentioned had piqued his curiosity.

“Hmph. The fifth point is the most important. After marrying my daughter, you cannot lay a finger on her within the first three years. This is an important rule in our family and hometown. Once three years have passed, you must first get my daughter’s consent before you can touch her!”

The woman said.

F*ck!

Gerald was so stunned at her statement that his pen fell to the ground.

“C’mon, you don’t have to look so shocked. Do you know how difficult it is for someone to get a wife nowadays? Plus, my daughter is so beautiful, has such a good temperament and a good career. Think you’ll be able to find anyone else better than her? Dream on!” scoffed the woman as she concluded.

Suddenly, the girl covered her mouth as she began to gag.

“Mom, can you help me to the washroom? Ugh~!”

She continued retching as her mother propped her up all the way to the washroom.

Sweat trickled down Gerald’s cheeks.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Xeno, Gerald would not even have bothered to come here today.

HE simply wanted to run away, especially when put under such ridiculous circumstances.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 482

Gerald grabbed a paper towel as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. He felt the sudden urge to relieve himself and started pacing toward the washroom.

As he passed by the female’s washroom, he unexpectedly heard the woman and her daughter’s conversation as she repeatedly patted her back.

“What’s wrong? Why the sudden nausea?”

The woman asked worriedly.

“Yeah… This naughty little boy is kicking me again!”

“Oh! I told you to be more careful! I’ve always told you to pay more attention to what you do! Why did you have to mess around with a foreigner?”

She frowned and scolded.

“Mom, don’t say that about Jamison! Jamison isn’t just any ordinary guy. He’s a foreigner from M Country! He promised me that he would come back to look for me in three years!”

Gerald, who heard this from outside, was fuming with frustration.

He knew that these two women had really deceived him.

It felt too good to be true, and everything was oddly in place, but the girl seemed so anxious to get married.

So, was she just looking for a temporary replacement to become the father of someone else’s child?

And if he married her, there would be an additional unwanted gift—a mixed-race baby in return!

No way! He could not afford to be fooled around by them anymore, or there would be no end to this matter.

As he gritted his teeth, he wanted to look for Xeno and the rest of them so badly, but he knew that they purposely hid themselves during such a time.

Gerald returned to his seat defeatedly as he was drowned in helplessness.

Not long after that, both the mother and her daughter came back to the room.

“Alright then, Gerald. Do you understand everything that we said just now? If you do, you may go back and decide on a suitable date. It would be best if both of you can get married by this month!”

The woman exclaimed coldly.

“Hang on, auntie. I have something to say.”

Gerald said in a slow and inarticulate manner.

“Ahh? You still have something to say? Alright then, speak up!”

The woman replied impatiently.

Gerald glanced at the girl before saying, “Can you let me take a look at you first?”

“Haven’t you seen me already? What else do you want to see?” the girl rudely retorted as she frowned at Gerald.

“I am asking you to lift up your skirt so that I can have a look. I need to inspect the goods first!”

Gerald replied nonchalantly.

“What?!”

The woman and the girl’s eyes widened in shock.

Good god. This was a blind date, and it wasn’t just any ordinary low-class restaurant either. This young man actually had the audacity to spew such shameless gibberish amid such an occasion?

“Are you insane?!” The girl shrieked as she stood up abruptly and threw the wine glass in one swoop.

“Damn it! If I wasn’t insane, there’s no way I would’ve been able to continue talking to the both of you for so long! I had enough of your rubbish! You are nothing but a piece of trash with your crazy and ridiculous conditions!”

Gerald could not hold it in anymore and started cursing.

They simply took him for a fool. It was still fine at first. But after they visited the washroom, Gerald could no longer put up with their bullsh*t. It made him furious.

He really wanted to get even with them.

“You bast*rd!”

Slap!

The woman was even more aggressive. She was not the kind of person that anyone could mess around with. With a tight expression on her face, she immediately raised her hand to send a massive slap across Gerald’s face.

“F*ck you!!”

Slap!

Enraged, Gerald instantly returned the slap. As he was quite strong, it completely knocked the woman down to the floor.

While this was going on, Sienna, Xeno, and the matchmaker were chatting and laughing on the way back.

Xeno: “You have to help me put in a good word or two for Gerald in this matter!”

The matchmaker: “Don’t worry! C’mon, don’t you know how close I am to Sienna? Besides, I think the woman is pretty satisfied with Gerald!”

“Well, let’s go in and see what they’re up to!”

When Xeno and the others arrived, they stood outside for a bit and did not enter yet.

Just as they were about to head in, they suddenly heard a loud crashing sound of plates smashing onto the table.

All three of them froze, stunned. The doors swung open…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 483

As Xeno and the rest rushed in; they were welcomed to the scene of Gerald fighting with both women.

The three of them were utterly shocked at the sight, quickly intervening and persuading them to stop fighting, which fortunately turned out a success.

Xeno knew that if Gerald had really lost his temper, he could be really ruthless and impulsive.

No. Actually, half of the woman’s face had started swelling badly after getting hit by Gerald.

Xeno and the others hurriedly dragged the two women, still yelling and cursing, away from the scene.

He had been given the responsibility to send them home.

Sienna could not help but feel a little anxious. What was going on here?

Despite feeling uneasy with the whole situation, she still got into the car with Xeno and the rest.

He informed them that he would be having dinner with Gerald tonight to get some clarity on what happened.

Gerald did not suffer other injuries aside from a stinging cheek from the woman’s slap.

As for why he had to vent his anger and frustrations…

First, it was because the two of them were really extraordinarily annoying and frustrating, even planning to trick him and make a fool out of him.

Second, Gerald couldn’t take the fact that the demure and pretty Weston girl had actually been taken advantage of by a foreigner. It made him very uneasy and unhappy.

With everything adding up, Gerald didn’t refrain from speaking harshly. He couldn’t help but retaliate immediately once the woman hit him.

After all, they were not related at all. No matter what it was, he wasn’t the poor pauper he once was. How could he allow someone to just slap him that way?

Gerald stood in the lobby alone as he settled the bill. He shook his head as he saw how the table full of wine and dishes had really gone to waste.
