The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 44

Could it be that everyone had misunderstood when he hit Elena and the other girls?

At the same time, Gerald felt a little weird inside.

He wondered how Alice and Jacelyn would react if they knew that the young boss that they were talking about was him...

"Alice! Why didn't you tell me that you're here?"

As everyone was eagerly discussing the restaurant, Quinton, who was dressed smartly in formal attire, walked over with Harold by his side.

Quinton was especially handsome today. At least, he was really handsome in front of the group of girls!

"I saw that you were busy socializing and entertaining your customers...are you tired?"

Alice smiled as she spoke in a soft manner. She had never been in a relationship before and she was not the kind of girl who would act coquettishly in front of guys, which was the way her roommate, Jacelyn, would always act.

Therefore, she could only speak in a shy manner.

"I'm fine! Some of the uncles and owners of the businesses on the Mayberry Commercial Street have come to visit us today. I just found a table for them. Come, Alice! I will get you guys a table now," Quinton replied with a bright smile on his face.

At this time, he suddenly saw Gerald who was standing right at the back of the crowd.

Gerald was touching a small wooden horse that was placed on a shelf. The small wooden horse looked very delicate and it was made out of sandalwood. Gerald was immediately attracted to it. He was filled with curiosity at this moment.

"Hey! That thing is very fragile. Please be careful, Brother Gerald!" Quinton quickly said in a sarcastic tone.

In fact, Quinton was still a little displeased and envious of Gerald because he had embarrassed him at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.

Yes, even though the only reason Gerald could afford to bring them in to enjoy a luxurious meal inside Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was because Zack owed him a favor for saving his daughter's life, Quinton was still very jealous of him.

However, Quinton felt a little better because his family was now acquainted with Zack.

Quinton felt that the relationship between Gerald and Zack would not possibly last forever. After all, it would not be possible for a person to feel thankful to a person for a long time.

What's more, Gerald was just a vain and silly fool!

"Hey! Don't drop that wooden horse, Gerald. What if you're careless and break it again? What if you damage the small wooden horse, just like how you damaged the oil painting the last time? Quinton doesn't owe you anything, so how are you going to repay him then?"

"Exactly! He's really a country bumpkin! He wants to touch everything that he sees!"

"I really don't understand why Alice wants to invite Gerald here with us today! He's making everyone feel so uncomfortable!"

Jacelyn and the other girls quickly expressed their dissatisfaction towards Gerald.

In fact, the reason they were blatantly ridiculing and criticizing Gerald was because they knew that Quinton did not like him.

If Gerald had been nice and friendly towards Quinton when they were at the manor, then Jacelyn and the other girls would definitely keep that in mind.

However, that did not happen. Moreover, Quinton was already unhappy to see Gerald here and it seemed as though Gerald had no clue about anything at all. Anyway, how could Gerald possibly compete with Quinton?

The girls quickly attacked Gerald because they wanted to express their positions in front of Quinton.

Meanwhile, Alice could only shake her head helplessly. At first, she was planning to take revenge against Gerald. When she thought about it now, her plan felt so ridiculous.

It was so ridiculous for her to even be worried about this person in the first place!

"Naomi! Harper! Why are you here? Damn it. Gerald, you're here too?"

At this time, a woman's voice sounded behind them and she sounded very surprised.

When Gerald heard this woman's voice, he lifted his head and turned around, only to realize that it was Xavia!
