The Secretly Rich Man novel Chapter 85

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 85

It was such a huge street and yet, it was nothing in the eyes of the young Mr. Crawford.
How powerful was this Crawford family?!
Whitney and the rest of the girls fell for Mr. Crawford immediately. How they wished to become his girlfriend.
“Still, aren’t you exaggerating this?”
“If it is such an influential family, we should have seen it on the Internet!”
The girls doubted it.
Quinton laughed. “Those that you see online are not the most powerful ones. Think about it. What kind of an existence would a company be when all the big companies you know online are supported by it? Many of the large industries are supported by such a powerful company, and such companies are run by families of whom we don’t usually hear their names!”
“Hmm, it makes sense.”
The girls were now convinced.
Ring!
The phone rang.
Mrs. Smith picked up the phone. She was shocked when she saw where the call was from. “It’s from the Bureau of Commerce!”
Helen was getting anxious.
Were they going to seize their assets? It was true that their company almost went bankrupt, but Mayberry International Inc. had just announced their investment to their company.
Everyone knew that the bank would not show any mercy to the companies who owed them money. Once the company could not repay the loan, the bank would inform the bureau immediately.
They all knew clearly how it worked.
Everyone stopped talking and waited patiently.
“Thank you, Mr. Harrison. Yes, yes, yes! Thank you for your encouragement and support! Okay, goodbye!”
Everyone was confused upon seeing Helen speak in such an excited manner.
“Mr. Harrison?” Mila’s father was surprised.
Their company was considered a small company. So, they were always very scared of authority.
Seeing Mrs. Smith’s reaction, he knew it was not bad news.
“Yes!”
And she recounted their conversation.
“It must all be thanks to the young Mr. Crawford! Otherwise, it would be impossible!”
“Mr. Crawford is indeed very influential and powerful!”
Everyone was very impressed by this man.
The incident had sparked curiosity among many of them. Who was this mysterious Mr. Crawford?
Over the following days, Gerald did not do anything that attracted attention to himself. Besides, he spent all the money on the card his sister had sent him which was loaded with twenty million dollars. There was about one million dollars or so left on the card, so he bought himself some branded outfits as well as some accessories like watches and stuff.
Xavia did call Gerald up once to borrow some money, but he refused to lend her any.
He was not being ruthless. He just wanted her to learn her lesson.
Blindly pursuing money was useless. Sometimes, when you thought you were about to have it, you were actually losing it.
He really hoped Xavia would not continue living like this.
Otherwise, she would lose herself one day.
After Gerald refused to help her, he had not heard about her for days.
So, he focused on preparing for his third driving test.
“What are you doing, bro?”
It was Saturday. Gerald was reading a book, laying on the bed, while Harper and the rest had gone out to have some fun.
Just as he was feeling bored, his sister, Jessica, called him.
“I’m reading a book. What is it?”
Gerald felt rather helpless when dealing with his domineering sister. His head ached when he heard her voice.
He could still remember the one time he had been beaten by her just because he had wanted to buy an ice cream. They had still been poor at that time.
