Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1232
“Hello, Uncle Shadwell and Aunt Wauter!” greeted the charming boy as he quickly headed over to them. Of course, the handsome young man in question was none other than Preston.
Preston had been extremely excited from the moment he received Noelle’s invitation to her birthday banquet.
Due to that, he had made sure to pay extra attention to how he dressed today so that he could give off the aura of a young master from a rich family.
It seemed that his efforts paid off since soon enough, the Shadwell family began praising him endlessly. Because of that, Preston couldn’t help but feel a little smug and arrogant.
Shortly after, they invited him to sit at the main table.
However, it was at that moment when Gracie suddenly realized that her daughter wasn’t even around.
Momentarily pausing her chat with Preston before turning to look at Noelle’s roommates, Gracie then asked, “Speaking of which, where did Noelle and Yulisa go? I haven’t seen both of them in a while!”
“From what we heard, both of them went downstairs to receive someone!” replied one of her roommates as the rest of them continued sipping on their juice.
“They what? Isn’t Preston already here? Who else are they planning to receive? Say Preston, did you run into Noelle on your way up here?” asked Gracie, feelingly slightly puzzled.
After all, Preston was undoubtedly the protagonist today.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t. Since this hotel belongs to one of my uncles, I’ve always used the special VIP passage whenever I move around here. If I had known that she would be waiting for me downstairs, then I’d definitely have used the regular entrance!” replied Preston, hints of excitement and joy on his face.
To be completely honest, Preston had already heard about the Shadwell family’s financial crisis from his father. With that in mind, it wasn’t hard for him to imagine that the Shadewells were only treating him this well because of said issue. After all, they were probably well aware that the Wake family had the support of the Mayberry Commercial Group.
