Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 342 “Haha! It’s fine, forget about it. It wasn’t a big deal!”

Gerald did not want to go.novelbin

“No, no Gerald, I insist! You don’t look down on us, do you? You would never look down on your ownhigh school classmates, right? Or do you secretly look down on us because you were admitted toMayberry University while we only took the normal entrance exams for normal universities andcolleges? I see how it is now!” said Liana shamelessly.

“You know I don’t mean that! Fine, let’s have a meal together!” Gerald said before sighing. How couldanyone be this shameless?

Gerald was at a loss for words.

However, since it was only a meal, he was willing to just eat together and be done with it. After all, hehad nothing to lose. Besides, it was an opportune time for him to prevent them from having anythingmore to say about him in the future.

He would just join them for their meal and see what they had to say then!

Gerald nodded to himself before turning around again.

They didn’t eat in any of the stores in Mayberry Commercial Street. Instead, they went to an ordinaryrestaurant right next to that street.

Sharon had ordered a lot of delicious dishes for Gerald.

“So tell us, Gerald, how did you become so rich?”

The topic was finally brought up by Lilian. Sharon listened in closely as well. It was the highlight of theirconcerns.

“Rich? When did I ever become rich? I’m penniless!”

Gerald held back his laughter as he enjoyed the expressions on their faces. They were both hilariousand ridiculous at the same time. He was no longer angry. Rather, he was feeling playful at the moment,so he simply replied in a plain and casual manner.

He then took some roasted pork knuckles and rice before savoring them.

“Pft! You’re really mischievous aren’t you, Gerald? You’re getting quite good at acting I see!” said Lilianas she laughed.

She had studied art before this and that included a bit of theatre. She was less rigid than the other twofor sure.

As she spoke, she also slightly pinched Gerald’s thigh.

“I… I really don’t have any money!” said Gerald again.

“Hmm… If you don’t have any money, how did you manage to fish out seven to nine thousand dollarsjust to buy cell phones? What more, how could you have bought the two jade bracelets today withouthaving any money? The dragon jade bracelet alone cost around thirty-two thousand dollars! You’re notdeceiving anyone, Gerald.”

Gerald groaned slightly as Lilian continued questioning him.

Sharon simply continued to stare at Gerald, her eyes wide open.

“Ah, those? That money doesn’t belong to me! I’m just running some errands for some people! I’mgoing to be sending the bracelets over to the buyer immediately after this!”

Gerald really didn’t want to tell them the truth.

By deceiving them, the best outcome he could foresee was that they would just continue treating eachother as strangers in the future.

“Ahh… I see. So the money really wasn’t yours?”

Lilian and Sharon exchanged glances. They both felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off theirshoulders.

“Say, Sharon, could you pass the pork trotters over to me? I can’t reach it from here!” said Gerald tosee their reaction.

“D*mn it! Why are you still eating pork trotters now? Are you some pig? You’ve already eaten so much!Just look at how unpromising you already look!” said Sharon coldly as she glared at Gerald.

D*mn it… I really thought you were rich for a second there… That was the only reason why you wereinvited in the first place… I guess in the end you were just being an errand boy for someone else!

While those were the thoughts in Sharon’s head, Lilian had begun inching slowly away from Gerald.

Once she was sitting quite far away, she said coldly, “Oh, Gerald Crawford. I used to think that thoughyou were poor, you would at least be useful in the future since you’re good at studying anyway.However, now that I look at you, I feel that you’re only going to become more useless in the future!”

Apparently he was going to be called by his full name now.

“Didn’t you guys say that we should support each other and provide helping hands since we’re all inMayberry City anyway? Since you guys are obviously doing better than me, could you lend me ahelping hand as well? After all, we’ve been classmates for three years in high school!” asked Gerald.

“Oh my god! As if we could help you! What can you even do? You shouldn’t talk about our high schooldays anymore. I haven’t even spoken to you for so long! Why don’t just keep chatting with Sharon?Weren’t you two almost a couple back then? Sharon definitely still likes you!”

Lilian said this deliberately for Hayward to hear.

Sharon caught on to what she was trying to do immediately. “What do you mean by that Lilian? Howcould I ever like Gerald! I’ve never liked him!”

As Sharon ended her sentence, she slammed her chopsticks on the table angrily.

The two then started to argue.

Hayward could only try to persuade them to stop fighting each other.

Ah, to be as rich and handsome as he was, was a sin.

Gerald paid no attention to them and simply continued eating while also enjoying the lively atmosphere.

All of a sudden, the door was pushed open rather loudly.

Several police officers suddenly walked in.

“Is that them?” asked a policeman coldly as he pointed toward Gerald and the others.
