Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 96
When she’d found out those clothes cost well over ten thousand bucks, Whitney had been shocked beyond words.
However, perhaps because the salesperson in the shop had made a fuss over how that woman’s gift to Gerald had ended up in another girl’s hands… Whitney had been too embarrassed to bring it up until now.
She had only just found out that he was actually poor.
Indeed, she had always wondered where all his wealth had come from.
Now, it all made sense. Just like he had told her online, he had a patron.
And not just that… She was even chauffeuring him around in a Benz! Last time, it had been a Ferrari!
Now, all the pieces fit into place!
“Hmph!” Victor snorted. “Gerald, you always seemed like such a nice guy. To think that you were up to something like this… and Mila’s supposed to be best friends with a loser like you?”
The crowd exploded into chaos.
“Wahaha, he’s the king of gigolos!”
“He’s a little fairer than usual, but no God among men. How could he be so popular with so many babes?”
Everyone was abuzz with chatter.
Fuming with rage, Luke was ready for a fight.
Smack!
And yet, it was Jane who vehemently slapped Luke across the face.
“What I do is none of your concern. You lot can just scram!” Jane was going hysterical.
Luke had always been annoying, but Jane had still been able to tolerate it. However, if he laid a hand on Mr. Crawford today, she would have killed him before he had any idea what was going on!
“Jane, darling… you struck me… for the sake of your little toy boy, you actually struck me!” Sputtering from the humiliation, his hands were clenched into fists as he turned and stomped away.
As he left, he gave Gerald one last warning glare.
People were taking photos on their handphones now, and he didn’t dare linger here any longer.
That was when Gerald’s phone rang. It was Elena.
What was going on today?! He didn’t know anymore.
“Hello?”
He then heard Elena’s gentle voice. “Mr. Crawford, I just wanted to inform you that the grand banquet at the end of this month will be taking place aboard the Heaven’s Bounty cruise liner. Reservations have already been made, so you have to be there! When Aiden and the others heard you’d be coming, they were overjoyed!”
“Oh, the Heaven’s Bounty? That’s great!”
“Well then, shall I pick you up on the day, sir?”
“Pick me up? No need. I’ve got my own car and I should be getting a driving license by this month’s end. Just let me know where to go and I’ll drive there myself!”
“Very good!”
With the matter concluded, Gerald hung up.
