Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 26

“I wonder if you’d be willing to treat us to dinner, Gerald? After all, we’ve been classmates for morethan three years,” some of the girls chimed in at this time.

Gerald thought to himself. Since he had already said that he had already won the lottery, people wouldfeel uncomfortable if he did not offer to treat them to a meal.

In fact, Gerald was initially planning to treat Naomi and his roommates to a nice dinner.

But now…

Gerald simply replied, “Alright then. I’ll treat all of you to dinner tonight. Anyone who would like to comecan do so.”

In fact, the meaning behind Gerald’s words was that people who felt they were close to him couldattend the dinner if they wanted to.

“Yay!”

All his classmates started cheering immediately and their lessons seemed even more interesting thatday. Moreover, more and more people were gathering around Gerald as they wanted to know howmuch money Gerald had won from the lottery. However, Gerald refused to say anything at all and thismade all his classmates very anxious!

“Brother Danny, are we going for the dinner tonight? Should we? I think that kid is trying to provoke uson purpose!” Blondie said in a bitter manner.

The person that he had been bullying and despising all this while was suddenly better than him! Ofcourse, he would feel uncomfortable about the situation.

Blondie felt that way.

“Hahaha. Of course we have to go! We have to go so we can make this kid bleed tonight…”

Danny smiled and stroked his chin as he stared at Gerald.

Blondie understood what Danny meant immediately. “Alright, Brother Danny! You’re really the best!”

Later at noon, Gerald decided to book a restaurant to host the dinner that night. He had to show hisclassmates that he was more than willing to treat them to dinner so of course, he had to host the dinnerat one of the restaurants on Mayberry Commercial Street.

However, he knew that he could not choose a restaurant that was too luxurious and high end.Otherwise, everyone would say he was pretending to be a wealthy person when he was not that well-to-do anyway.

Therefore, Gerald decided to book a restaurant called Homeland Kitchen to host the dinner at instead.This was because this was much more casual compared to the luxurious Grand Marshall Restaurantdown the street.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, Gerald saw a few people whom he knew in the restaurant.

“Manager, I’ve spent quite a lot of money here today. I paid more than three hundred dollars per head!You have to give me a discount when I come here again in the future…”

“Hahaha. That would be no problem at all, Mr. Wright. I’ll definitely give you a discount when you comeagain next time!”

“Brother Victor really has a very good reputation!”

“What nonsense are you spouting? Do you know who Victor is? He’s driving an Audi A6 now!Moreover, Homeland Kitchen is one of the most prestigious restaurants on Mayberry CommercialStreet. Whoever marries Victor will definitely live a good life in the future!”

“Whitney, the reason why we can come and eat at this restaurant today is because Brother Victor isgiving you face…”

Gerald looked around at the group of people in the restaurant at this time. Whitney, the president of thestudent union, Victor, the vice president of the student union, and a few of Whitney’s friends were hereat this time.

They were all looking at Victor with admiration written all over their faces.

“Hello, sir!”

Gerald did not want to run into any of them and he especially wanted to avoid Whitney because hermouth was like a cannon. He wanted to turn around and host his dinner at another restaurant instead.However, the waiter discovered him and he quickly bowed as he greeted Gerald in a very loud voice.

Victor and the other guests turned around to look at them immediately.novelbin

When Victor saw Gerald, his eyes lit up in an instant.

“Gerald!”

Whitney shouted suspiciously. After that, she asked, “What are you doing at a place like HomelandKitchen?”

In her eyes, Gerald was someone who had to work hard every day to make enough money to sustainhimself. If he did not think of how he could make some money today, he would definitely have to worry

about what he could afford to eat tomorrow.

Why would he possibly come to such a high-end restaurant as this?

“Perhaps he’s taking up a part-time job here!”

“Hahaha. We still have classes later in the afternoon and he’s here to take up a part-time job now?”

“Hahaha. I guess he came out here secretly because he doesn’t have enough money to pay off histuition fee today! I guess he’s trying to work part-time and earn some extra money here today!Otherwise, he’d be expelled for being unable to afford to pay his tuition fee.”

The four or five girls who knew all about Gerald’s situation laughed as they talked among themselves.

Whitney had a cold expression on her face as she continued questioning Gerald. “Gerald, are youtrying to take up some part-time job now when we still have classes in the afternoon? Do you believethat I’ll report this to the student department so that you will get a penalty and credit deduction? Even ifyou make enough money to pay for your tuition fee, I will make sure that you can’t graduate becauseyou do not have enough credits to do so!”

Victor sneered as he stared at Gerald. Gerald had always relied on his good academic performance tocontinue studying in this university. However, despite running into him, the vice president of the studentunion, Gerald did not even bother to greet him at all. Victor wanted to see how Gerald was going tosurvive without the student union’s help and subsidy.

“I’m not here to work part-time. I’m here to book a room for dinner.”

Gerald was also a little furious and frustrated when he heard Whitney and the rest of her friendsinsulting and making fun of him, so he simply replied to her in an indifferent manner.

After that, he headed directly to the counter.

“What? He’s here to book a room for dinner?”

Whitney and the rest of her friends were stunned at this time and they were filled with even morecontempt and disgust for Gerald…
