Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 42
“No, the reason we’ve decided to call you and discuss this matter with you is because Alice specifically asked us to bring you
along to the gathering this time!” Harper quickly informed Charlie.
“Huh?” Gerald was taken aback.
It did not make sense at all. Wasn’t Alice always very annoyed whenever she saw him? Why would she specifically invite him to
a party?
To be honest, Gerald had already drunk and ate a lot of food during the banquet at noon today, so he wasn’t hungry at all.
Instead, he was mostly really exhausted because he had been entertaining and chatting with the businessmen during the
banquet earlier.
He really did not feel like going at all.
Moreover, since it was only a simple gathering, Gerald really wanted to get ready for his driving test instead.
Perhaps this was God’s will. After all, most of the lives of the rich second generation started with gatherings and socializing.
Even though he had not revealed his identity, all kinds of parties, entertainments and gatherings seemed to be revolving around
him already.
When Gerald refused to attend the gathering, Harper also said that he did not feel like going anymore. This made Gerald feel
very entangled and finally, he reluctantly agreed to join the party that night.
Gerald went back to the dormitory and changed into a new set of clothes. After that, Gerald and his roommates met up with
everyone else as they gathered outside the school gate.
“Alice, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to dinner? Where are we going?”
Naomi was also here and she suddenly asked Alice this question out of curiosity.
“Hahaha. To be honest, it is not my treat tonight but Quinton’s! Their restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street is opening soon.
If the meeting has gone smoothly in the afternoon and if they’ve obtained approval, then Grand Marshall Restaurant will officially
belong to Quinton’s family!”
A look of arrogance flashed through Alice’s face and she could not help but raise her eyes to look at Gerald’s expression at this
time.
Hmph!
Did Gerald really think that he was so great just because he could afford to invite everyone to have dinner at the most luxurious
place inside Wayfair Mountain Entertainment?
This really made Quinton and Alice feel very embarrassed at that time.
But...what would happen again in the future?
Gerald was still going to be the pauper that he had always been. Could he ever afford to bring everyone to Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment again?
However, Quinton was different. The Ziegler family did not only own their own factory but they also owned one of the restaurants
on Mayberry Commercial Street.
If he could build up a good relationship with the business tycoon, Zack Lyle, then Quinton’s future would be crystal clear.
Alice was the one who insisted on inviting Gerald to join them tonight. She wanted Gerald to know that he could never compare
to Quinton and she wanted to see the awkward and embarrassed expression on his face.
However, Alice was a little disappointed. This was because Gerald had a blank expression on his face and it seemed as though
he was indifferent to the situation.
‘Okay then! Just wait and see!’ Alice could not help but think to herself.
“Alice, since it is the opening of Quinton’s restaurant, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for you to bring so many of us with you there
today? After all, we aren’t that close to him...”
Naomi was a little worried at this time.
Jacelyn, who was fixing up her makeup at this time, suddenly announced excitedly, “Hahaha! How could it be inappropriate? The
reason why Alice is treating everyone to dinner today is because she wants to make an important announcement. I believe that
everyone remembers what happened at the karaoke bar last week. In fact, Quinton had been the one to ask for his father’s help
to deal with this matter. What Quinton did for us really touched Alice’s heart.”
“For the past few days, Quinton had been fiercely pursuing Alice and after much consideration, Alice has finally decided to give
Quinton a chance. She’s going to be in a relationship with him and he’s going to be her first love!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked after listening to Jacelyn’s words.
Unexpectedly, Gerald was the first to scream out loud.
Damn it! Someone had stolen his credit again?
