The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 944
Realizing that Harperâs clients were here, Gerald nudged his head toward the two new faces as he looked at Harper, clearly signaling him to deal with his work first.
As Gerald turned to leave, however, he was shocked when he realized who the man and woman were.
As it turned out, they were none other than Raquel and her boyfriend, Jefferson!
Back when he was still in a pitiful state over half a year ago, he remembered how Raquel had humiliated him when he was still working in the construction zone.
âD*mn! Is that really you, Gerald?â exclaimed Raquel as she crossed her arms before flashing a cold smile at him.
âOh? Are you familiar with Chairman Quelch and Chairman Brown, Gerald? Haha! Chairman Brownâs in charge of a large company here! Iâm currently negotiating a project with them!â explained Harper.
âWeâre acquainted, yes,â replied Gerald with a subtle nod.
âHumph! Pretending that we barely know each other, Gerald? As if youâd ever be able to forget about me! After all, I was the one who paid you your salary back when you were part-timing at that construction zone!â sneered Raquel.
Hearing that, Gerald only took a brief glance at her.
From what Marven had told him before, she wasnât always like this. However, her personality changed rapidly for the worse as she got older.
âI do wonder if thereâs been some sort of misunderstanding between both of you, Chairman Quelch.
After all, heâs a good friend of mine and I know for a fact that heâs a good person,â defended Harper when he saw how ruthlessly Raquel was mocking Gerald.
âOh? Heâs your friend you say? Well then, Iâm sorry to announce that whatever youâve negotiated with my husbandâs uncle will now officially be terminated, Mr. Sullivan! Iâm sure you agree with the projectâs cancellation too, donât you dear?â stated Raquel as she clung onto her boyfriendâs arm.
âBut of course!â
âChairman Quelch, youâ¦â
Though he wanted to say something, Harper was left completely speechless. To think that all the effort he had spent there throughout the week was now gone, just like that.
At that moment, a staff member entered the building and started shouting rather unceremoniously.
âWhoever owns the car with the registration number of ***Province, drive it away, right this instant! If nobody moves it soon, then Iâm calling someone over to tow it away!â
As the staff member continued shouting for the owner of the car, it was instantly made clear to everyone foreign to the city that the people living here didnât have the same sort of courtesy one would expect to see from someone living elsewhere within the country.
The way things worked here, if an argument took place, having fights was only the natural response.
âThe hell? I made sure to park my car well! Whatâs the big idea?â shouted Jefferson coldly in reply.
âWhat do you mean whatâs wrong? Itâs blocked the road! Get out there and move it immediately else Iâll have it towed!â retorted the staff member rudely.
Not wanting to be humiliated in front of Raquel and especially not in front of Gerald and Harper, Jefferson replied, âHey now, my uncle is Graham Worton! His nickname is Boss Gram, you know?!â
âI donât know who the fck Boss Gram or Grey or whatever his name is! Just drive the dmned car away already!â scolded the staff member impatiently.
The staff memberâs response momentarily stunned Raquelâs boyfriend. After a brief moment of awkward silence, he then said, âFine! Iâd like to see who Iâm blocking as well!â
Not wanting to be outdone, he then held on to Raquelâs hand as both of them left the premise.
Even though they were no longer in the shop, Jefferson could still be heard shouting, âJust so you know, Iâll be calling my uncle immediately as well! How absolutely baffling that people who donât want to pay him any respect exist!â
Meanwhile, Yukie ran over to Gerald before saying, âHere, Iâve bought a shirt for you, sir!â
Nodding toward her, Gerald then turned to look at Harper before saying, âNot to worry, Harper. Iâll contact you in a few days, so just wait for my call.â
After saying that, Gerald then left together with Yuki.
