Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 3
“Gerald, why are you pretending to be rich?” Xavia asked contemptuously.
However, Rachel was startled after Gerald placed the black gold card on the counter.
This Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card for luxury stores was only available to the most wealthy and powerful families in the world.
There was no doubt that the owner of the black gold card was indeed very wealthy and powerful.
On the other side, Wendy quickly brought the card reader over to the counter.
After that, Gerald entered his birthday into the card reader as the passcode and the transaction was successful.
The transaction was successfully completed!
“Oh my god!”
Everyone in the crowd was shocked.
“Oh my. Did this young boy just buy the Hermes collector’s edition bag worth fifty five thousand dollars? He is really very rich!”
“Is this a boy really a very humble second-generation rich kid?”
Everyone was staring at Gerald with fiery eyes.
At this time, even Yuri was staring at Gerald in disbelief.
How could this pauper possibly be so rich? He felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Moreover, he was still showing off his knowledge on all of the luxury goods before this.
Now, he looked nothing more than a clown!
Xavia had a look of disbelief on her face at this time.
“You…you…Gerald, where did you get this card?”
How could he possibly buy the bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars whenever he wanted to? Xavia could not believe that Gerald also owned a Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card. Even that luxury shopper’s card was very valuable on its own!
Did he just buy the bag on his own?
Was it for real?
Gerald glanced at Xavia but he did not say anything at all.
He could still feel a sharp pain in his heart but he was still very cold towards Xavia. At this time, Gerald thought in his heart, ‘My sister was the one who gave me this card and I can actually purchase something costing up to three hundred thousand dollars!’
“Sir, I will wrap this item up for you immediately! Please wait for half an hour.”
“This is a very luxurious product so we must ensure that the packaging for the bag is perfect.”
Gerald felt very embarrassed with the crowd of people staring at him so intently.
After he rejected the wrapping service, Gerald took the bag in his hand as he prepared to leave immediately.
“Wait a minute! Stop right there!”
Yuri had an ugly expression on his face as he walked in front of Gerald to stop him from leaving.
“What do you want?” Gerald asked in a cold manner.
Yuri snorted before he pointed at the black gold card in Gerald’s hand. “I suspect that you’ve stolen this black gold card from its original owner. After all, it isn’t that difficult to steal someone’s password or passcode nowadays!”
After that, Yuri looked at Rachel before he said, “Rachel, I’d advise you to call your manager to look into this matter immediately. If this black gold card was really stolen, it’ll leave a very bad reputation for your boutique store when this matter is exposed!”
Xavia came back to her senses at this time and she quickly chimed in, “Yes, Rachel. How can a pauper like Gerald possibly own such a supreme card and be able to purchase such an expensive bag?”
Xavia was still in disbelief.
Rachel felt that what they were saying made complete sense.
Therefore, she looked at Gerald before she said, “Sir, please wait here for a moment. Our manager will come over here right away.”
After that, everyone blocked Gerald’s way as if they were trying to stop a fraudster from escaping!
Gerald really did not expect to cause so much trouble just because he wanted to buy a bag.
However, he knew that he would not be able to leave now even if he wanted to.
He could only stand here and wait patiently for the store manager.
Very soon, a woman in her early thirties who was dressed very elegantly appeared in front of the crowd of people.
Rachel immediately told the manager that she suspected Gerald to be a fraudster who had stolen someone else’s black gold card.
The manager looked at Gerald before she smiled and said, “I am sorry, sir but if you do not mind, would you please allow me to check out your black gold card?”
She was very polite and respectful because she was the manager of the store and she did not judge their customers simply by their appearances.
Gerald felt very helpless at this time and he could only hand his black gold card over to the manager without saying anything.
The manager brought out a special card reader.
After that, she skillfully placed the card inside.
“Sir, could you please give me your last name? I would also like to know your identification number,” the female manager requested respectfully.
“My name is Gerald Crawford and my sister’s name is Jessica Crawford!”
