The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 470
Leia told Leila to remain home as well to accompany Douglas.
As for Gerald, he immediately called Zack as soon as he got out of the house.
Once Zack had been updated on the matter, Gerald knew that the situation would be dealt with swiftly.
This was Zack after all.
As Zack immediately set out to start making the appropriate arrangements, Gerald headed to the supermarket to get all the items on Leiaâs list.
Once he had everything, he returned to the Jung familyâs house.
When he set foot into the house again, however, a massive change had apparently taken place.
âCongratulations, Uncle Jung!â
âThank you! I really hadnât expected the Dream Investment Group to actually take over the real estate project! To decide to take over the entire project⦠Iâm honestly stunned!â
Willie didnât need his drip anymore. His initial paleness was all gone and in his raised hand, was his cell phone.
âGather round, everyone! All of you need to enjoy a good drink with me today! Especially you, Douglas!â shouted Willie joyfully.
To him, he felt that Douglasâs fatherâs help was crucial in the Dream Investment Groupâs final decision.
His own connections may have also played a part in that.
To simplify, the leader had called Willie just a while ago to tell him that his position in Weston Merchants Holding had been reinstated. He was also to take charge of this project in the future.
They would then collect a donation and the matter would be completely resolved.
How could he stay depressed after hearing all that?
Willie then looked at both Douglas and Leila. He had an idea in his mind.
âLeila, let me tell youâ¦â
âGerald, have some food!â
Just as he was about to say something, Willie saw Leila serving some dishes to Gerald.
He was utterly shocked. âLeila! What are you doing? Gerald still has both his hands, doesnât he? Let him get his own food!â
Leila turned to look at him before replying, âDad, actually, Geraldâ¦â
âUncle Jung, Geraldâs no longer who he used to be!â shouted Douglas as he glared fiercely at Gerald before Leila could finish her sentence.
If Leila was just going to relay the same information, he would be the one to say it!
âWhatâs so different about him now?â asked Aunt Leia as she served another dish on the table.
âSee, Gerald here won the lottery! With the money, he bought himself a Mercedes Benz G500! Thatâs the reason why Leilaâs treating him so well now!â replied Douglas enviously.
âOh my godâ¦â
Everyone seated around the dinner table was shocked.
âHow much money did you win?â asked Aunt Leia as she subconsciously gulped.
Gerald didnât know what to say.
He had lied to Leila and told her that he had won the lottery just so he could conceal his identity back then. Apparently, now he had to lie to an entire group of people.
âI just used most of the money to buy a Mercedes Benz G500!â replied Gerald.
âYou used the money to buy that? You won more than three hundred thousand dollars through the lottery?â
Everyone was shocked silent. Gerald remained quiet as well.
All of a sudden, Willie slammed his chopsticks against the table, staring at Gerald with a cold gaze.
âWhat a fool!â
âGerald, other people are free to show off, but donât you even realize how poor your own living conditions are? Why are you even trying to show off? Wasting your money to buy a Mercedes Benzâ¦
Do you even know how much you could have done with that three hundred thousand dollars?â yelled Willie as he shook his head.
Douglas was satisfied. He smiled as he said, âThatâs true, Uncle Jung. If he had only used one hundred and fifty thousand dollars as a donation for your fundraiser, you could have arranged a position for Gerald in the labor dispatching department! Ha! But all Gerald knows how to do is try to compete with other rich heirs!â
âSee? Douglas is clearly more knowledgeable! Gerald, let me ask you. Have you bought a house for yourself in Serene County?â
Gerald simply shook his head, knowing where this was going.
âHave you found a job?â
Gerald sighed as he shook his head again.
âOh, I havenât seen anyone as brainless as you are! Why are you spending so extravagantly? Get a decent job first then start working to make an honest living for yourself! Tell you what, sell the car again immediately. If youâre lucky, youâll be able to get at least two hundred and seventy thousand dollars back. With that money, you can buy yourself a house. Once thatâs done, I can arrange a job for you with social insurance and housing funds. â
âWhat else, what else⦠Ah yes, thereâs one more thing,â said Willie as he sipped some wine before looking at Gerald again.
