Chapter 223

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 223 Lilian was jealous.

She was in no way in a good mood and felt Gerald more of an eyesore when she saw him coming over.

She could still maintain some basic form of courtesy in the past, but as soon as Lillian saw him, shestarted scolding him.

In short, she had said lots of bad stuff in public.

Everyone came, and after some persuading, Lilian finally cooled down a little.

Gerald really wanted to do one thing right now. He was dying to give Lilian a tight slap across her face.

It was already bad enough that she was continually ridiculing him.

Now, she was directly provoking and looking down on him.

“Okay. That’s enough, Lilian. Why nitpick? If he is willing to eat, then just let him eat. You have yourown reputation to take care of. After all, you will become a teacher, and you’ll have a stable job with apermanent income!” Hayward said with a smile.

When she saw that Hayward had personally come over to persuade her, Lilian finally calmed down.

“Sigh. This person just makes me so annoyed and frustrated. Although you were poor before, BrotherHayward, at least you are rich now after receiving compensation. You won’t forget and disregard mejust because of that, right?” Lilian asked as she leaned onto Hayward.

“Why would I even do that? No matter what happens, you, Lilian, will always be my good friend,”Hayward replied with a laugh.

Those words made Sharon feel a little uncomfortable.

In fact, everyone present could sense something wrong in the atmosphere tonight, and obviously, a tugof war was brooding between Lilian and Sharon.

Both rivals kept fighting secretly as they stuck around Hayward.

Hayward’s hometown was about to be redeveloped. No matter how things would shape up, he wassure to receive a few properties in return. And just like that, he would bag a few million dollars, and hisfinancial security ensured.

It was no wonder the two beauties were fighting so fiercely over him.

“Gerald, come here! This one’s already roasted!”

Queta looked at Gerald, now clenching his fists, and looked like he was about to explode. Hurriedly,she pulled Gerald aside.

Queta continued advising and persuading Gerald.

And Gerald did not lose his temper because of her persuasion.

Hahaha. They could patronize him all they wanted now. One thing, though. He couldn’t help but wonderwhat Lilian and Sharon’s faces would look like when he could finally announce his identity.

Would they regret their actions today?

Gerald smiled bitterly.

Ignoring them, he simply enjoyed the view of the lake with Queta.novelbin

That night, Hayward put everyone up at the village guest house.

Gerald saw that it was late at night, and it seemed as though Queta really wanted to spend the nighthere. It was probably because she missed the times she had with her adopted parents.

After Lilian and the others retreated to their rooms, Gerald got Queta and himself a room each.

In short, apart from the incident with Lilian, Gerald’s day was reasonably relaxing.

He really couldn’t wait for the mountain to be developed. When that happened, he could live all byhimself in peace and quiet. It was a quiet night.

Early the next morning, he drove Queta down the hill. He hoped he wouldn’t run into Lillian and theothers. He might just beat them up for real this time.

Gerald suddenly hit the brakes, and the car came to an abrupt halt.

“There is still some time before you start work, and I have some spare time before my class starts.Let’s go to that Michelin Restaurant for some food.” Gerald pointed at the Michelin Starred Restaurantbeside the road.

“Wow? I’ve heard my colleagues saying Michelin Restaurants are really pricey. Only the rich like youcan afford those places! I’m not going in!”

Queta shook her head and looked to the floor.

Gerald smiled. “Don’t worry! I’m cool if you feel like dining here every day.”

Ever since he became posh, Gerald’s confidence had puffed up significantly, especially in the way hespoke.
