The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 450

As Lilian had instructed him, Gerald was now acting out the impression of someone nouveau riche.

He even sat with his legs crossed.

“Our most expensive coffee? Sir, our most expensive one costs forty-five dollars each,” replied the waiter, slightly surprised.

“So be it! Nothing is too expensive for me! Two cups of that coffee and make sure they’re brewed perfectly!”

“Right away, sir!” said the waiter before bowing and running off.

Lilian found it both curious and funny when she saw Gerald acting so ostentatiously while flaunting his wealth. He even shook his watch from time to time to let others see it! Honestly, Lilian hadn’t expected that Gerald could be this cool!

By then, Hayward had already noticed Gerald and Lilian sitting next to them.

His face turned sour the moment he heard Gerald ordering two cups of coffee which cost forty-five dollars each.

What more, wasn’t Lilian being a little too intimate with Gerald? Hayward felt very uncomfortable.

He used to have her sticking close to him every day after all. Truth be told, he also enjoyed her constantly fawning over him back then.

When he chose Sharon over her, he knew that Lilian would still love him, being as vain as he was. However, now that she was being intimate with another man, he was feeling extremely dissatisfied.

He had not expected Lilian to move on so quickly.

And to think that she had chosen Gerald! The person he had always felt sensitive and competitive toward!

A fuse snapped in Hayward’s mind as he slammed his hands onto the coffee table.

“Pft! Why are you pretending to be rich? Do you think I don’t know about your background? Stop being so pretentious!” said Hayward coldly.

Sharon looked at Gerald and Lilian before trying to calm Hayward down.

“Speaking of which, Gerald, you’ve just bought a new car right? Where are we going to have fun later? Can we go to Mayberry Commercial Street? I saw a skirt that I really liked there so can we please go there later to buy it? It only costs four hundred and fifty dollars! Please!” pleased Lilian as she gently shook Gerald’s arm.

“Four hundred and fifty dollars? Are you a beggar? You’re only to wear clothes that cost at least a thousand dollars! Otherwise, don’t even bother telling me about it! Have some shame!” replied Gerald as he carefully pushed her hands away from his arm.

“Gerald, how much did you win?” asked Sharon as she stared at Gerald nervously.

It would be impossible for Gerald to get a girl like Lilian to fawn over him like this if he had only won fifty thousand dollars. What more, Gerald was also spending so lavishly now.

The figure needed to be immense.

Sharon was really afraid that Gerald would surpass Hayward. If that happened, then she would probably be the one regretting it the most. Knowing that, her anxiety and nervousness only grew as she waited for Gerald to answer.

“Oh, I was just lucky… I didn’t think I’d win so much money just like that. As for the amount I won… Well, let’s just say that it isn’t convenient for me to reveal such information to you” said Gerald as he winked at Lilian with a smile on his face.

At that moment, Gerald reached into his pocket to take his cell phone out.

As a result, his car key ‘accidentally’ fell to the ground.

When Hayward and Sharon looked down, their eyes widened in shock.

“That’s… That’s the car key of a Mercedes Benz G500?!”
