Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 5
Gerald walked out of the room immediately.
At this time, Naomi and the head of Gerald’s dormitory, Harper, chased after Gerald immediately.
“What are you doing? I didn’t say that I don’t like your gift,” Naomi said anxiously.
Harper also spoke up at this time. “Gerald, don’t leave. Stay and have dinner before you go. If you leave now, we’ll be very bored here.”
Gerald smiled before he replied, “You guys can continue having fun here. There’s really something I have to do now but I hope you guys will believe I’m not the kind of person who would buy something fake!”
Gerald did not know if his friends would believe him.
As he thought about it, Gerald could only blame his sister for giving him the card with a minimum spending amount of fifty thousand dollars.
Even though Harper and Naomi kept persuading Gerald, he still decided to leave in the end.
“Did that pauper really leave?” Danny asked with a smile as soon as Naomi and Harper returned to the room.
Harper replied, “Danny, can’t you change the target of your bullying? Why are you always bullying Gerald? Isn’t he miserable enough?”
Harper could not tolerate it anymore.
“Hahaha. He was the one who asked for it himself! Why did he buy an imitation Hermes bag to gift Naomi? Moreover, he even chose to give her a fake limited edition collector’s item. He’s really the worst!”
Alice could only smile wryly as she shook her head.
Gerald walked on the street without any emotions on his face after leaving the restaurant.
When Gerald was really poor, all he wished for was to be rich. However, now that he was loaded with cash, he did not feel anything special at all.
Moreover, he bought his friend a bag that cost more than fifty five thousand dollars but he was still despised and ridiculed.
Just as Gerald was thinking of where he should head to, he suddenly received a phone call.
It was a phone call from his sister, Jessica.
Gerald immediately answered the call. “Sister!”
“Gerald! What are you doing now?
“I’m not busy at all…”
“If you are free, could you do me a favor?”
Gerald was curious at this point.
“Do you know Mayberry Commercial Street? I invested in that street and developed it when I returned to the country to see you four years ago. I need to sign a renewal contract with some of the investors but I can’t return to the country now.”
“Back then, I included your name in the development of the project. Therefore, Mayberry Commercial Street belongs to both of us. It’ll be the same even if you sign the contract! Go and renew the contract on my behalf.”
“Hello? Gerald, did you hear what I just said?”
Of course, Gerald heard everything that she said.
However, he was really confused at this time.
Mayberry Commercial Street?
That was one of the highlights of Mayberry City.
There were many different shops and business establishments on the commercial street.
There was also a place called Wayfair Mountain Entertainment on top of the hill along the commercial street. This was a place that the wealthy and powerful people in Mayberry City would always visit.
So, according to his sister, they owned the entire Mayberry Commercial Street?
“Sister, are you telling me the truth? We own the commercial street?”
“Damn it! I’ve been talking to you for such a long time already and you actually think I’m just kidding? Why would I joke about this? I couldn’t get involved in so many industries on my own, and that’s why I used your identity card. You own half of the commercial street now.”
“I’ve already spoken to Zack, the owner of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. Once you arrive there later, just tell him your name and let him know you’re the second boss!”
“I…”
“Okay, okay, that’s all. I’ve something else to attend to so I’ll hang up first!”
Beep beepbeep.
Gerald held the phone in his hand and he was completely at a loss for words.
He had never been to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment before and he didn’t know what to expect at all.
Gerald took a deep breath before he hailed a cab and headed straight to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Wayfair Mountain Entertainment integrated dining, entertainment, and accommodation in one building.
It was a huge manor located on the hillside on Mayberry Commercial Street.
Gerald raised his head before walking into the manor…
“Sir, please wait!”
Gerald was unexpectedly stopped by a few beautiful ladies as soon as he entered the manor.
“Sir, did you reserve a place here today?” one of the girls quickly asked as she looked at Gerald.
These girls were responsible for all the reception work at the front hall and they were already used to receiving many VIP guests.
However, Gerald was dressed very casually compared to all the other wealthy and powerful people who usually visited.
Even though the beautiful girls had contempt in their eyes, they were still very polite towards Gerald.
“I didn’t reserve a seat but I’m here to look for someone,” Gerald replied as he smiled.
