Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 467
“Well, what exactly happened?” asked Gerald, confused.

“See, this place was originally a construction project. The Weston Merchants Holdings were hired to oversee the job about a year ago. Apparently, the developers used less than appropriate quality materials and because of that, there’s been a collapse around the project area. More than a hundred people were injured because of this, sixty of whom were workers! Thankfully, no lives were lost this time around!”

“Yep. I heard that the developers ran for the hills last night! Those from Weston Merchants Holdings are definitely in hot water now. About a dozen people, including Mr. Jung, have been dismissed from their positions, or so I’ve heard! They’re waiting to be dealt with at this very moment!” replied the workers.

As Gerald recalled, Mr. Jung was the director of Weston Merchants Holdings. He had been dismissed as well?

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald asked, “Why would the developers need to run away? Since no lives were lost, compensation would’ve been enough, no? What more, the main responsibility doesn’t fall on the investors, right?”

“The thing is, I’ve heard that the developers ran out of money quite a while ago. According to rumors, six months ago to be exact. But that’s beside the point. Right now, we’re just wondering who to look for! We just want our salary!”

“As for Weston Merchants Holdings, well, someone has to take responsibility for the matter. All this is happening during such a critical moment too. If you haven’t heard, a large group has been planning to develop and reconstruct Serene County. Due to such an unfortunate event happening now, the leaders must be furious. The impact of this accident is truly terrible!”

After hearing the whole story, Gerald finally understood the general situation.

However, he couldn’t do anything to help with the matter, though he still sympathized with all those involved in it.

Gerald then turned his car around and drove off after thanking the workers.

Along his journey, Gerald received a text message from Zack. It was the same story about the building’s collapse which the workers had told Gerald about earlier. What a disaster!

Seeing that Zack had messaged him, Gerald took the opportunity to ask him to look for a master specializing in jade.

Gerald knew that Zack knew way more people than he did.

Once Gerald got back to the hotel, he took a shower. As he was about to leave for a quick dinner, he received a phone call. It was from his father.

“Dad?”

“Son, you’ve made an investment in our hometown right? I heard that a building collapsed there. Such a catastrophe…”

“That’s right, though my group isn’t involved in that matter.”

Gerald thought to himself that his father was very well-informed.
