Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 402 He’d meant summoning people to help fight Louie Lourdes.

At that time, Cindy hadn’t paid much thought about it. She’d assumed Gerald was just stalling for time.

But right here right now, were a whole horde of people whom, sure enough, had attacked andvanquished Louie.

What Cindy was suggesting sent a tremor through Leila’s entire body.

“Impossible! That guy? I don’t know much about him, but isn’t he just some penniless loser? How couldhe have so many rich and powerful friends? Don’t you fall for his nonsense, Cindy!”

Heaven’s sake! If it turned out to be true… Leila might as well just ram her head against the nearestwall.

But no, haha, it was simply not possible!novelbin

Leila turned to gesture for everyone back in the car to come over and join them, where she then sharedwith them what had been learned. Everyone was gobsmacked by the news that Louie had been wipedout clean. They gazed with admiration at the magnificent cars lining up along the street outside thekaraoke bar.

“Look! Isn’t that Gerald?” Glancing around, Leila suddenly spotted him in the Western restaurant nextdoor, dining at the window seat.

For a moment, she doubted her own eyes.

“It can’t be… no, but it really is him!” Douglas was every bit as stupefied.

Everyone had been convinced that Gerald was dead meat. Instead, he was in a fine restaurant nearby,sitting at their premier table?

This… how… what…

“Gerald’s okay after all! Leila, maybe he was really telling the truth! Maybe all these guys really didcome here to back him up! Maybe Gerald really is friends with lots of rich people!” Cindy seemeddelighted by this.

“No way, no way! I refuse to believe it!” Leila was stamping her feet in agitation. “Douglas, we’re goingover there to get to the bottom of this. Anyway, can you believe that tramp can afford that class of finedining?”

Someone she held so much contempt for, turned out to be someone so amazing? That would be a rightslap to the face!

“Right! Let’s get over there! You, send the drunk ones home first!” Douglas issued this command to oneof the boys, ignoring the fact that he wasn’t completely sober himself.

Earlier, quite a few of the guys had downed an entire bottle. Now the alcohol was running its course,and some were no longer able to stay on their feet.

Douglas himself had quite a high tolerance—and anyway, he couldn’t bear to walk away from such amomentous affair, so he would just grit his teeth and bear it.

Leila and Cindy were by his side as he walked straight into that restaurant.

In the grip of a terrible rage, Leila stormed across the floor. “Gerald, do my eyes deceive me? So itreally is you… Huh! You came into a place like this, but ordered nothing, just sitting here… Don’t tell

me you just slipped out from there, and just needed some place to sit down?”

She’d been a little worried—worried that Gerald might actually turn out to be someone of wealth andinfluence. However, now that she was standing at his table, she was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Most likely, he’d only ducked in here to find shelter.

“Leila, perhaps you’re not aware of how exclusive this restaurant is. It’s considered a first-classestablishment, with their main branch based in Mayberry. Common folk generally don’t dare to trespassin here—so you could hardly have found a safer hiding place, Gerald! Hahaha!” Douglas added hisown mocking comments to the mix.

Gerald just sat there mutely.

Back in that karaoke room, when his bodyguards were giving it to Louie and his grunts, Gerald hadwatched for a while, but then lost interest.

It was enough just to teach that fool a lesson. There was no reason for him to hang around. That sort ofthing wasn’t his style.

Anyway, he hadn’t had much to eat for lunch earlier, so by now he was starving, and had come outlooking for a bite to eat.

But after he’d placed his order, and was taking a moment to contemplate how he’d handle things fromhere on out…

… Unexpectedly, Leila and company had come charging back into the fray.

What was this? Hadn’t he gotten rid of them already? Gerald couldn’t even begin to imagine how he’dexplain himself now.

At the corner of his eye, he saw six restaurant staff form into a line, trays of food in their hands. Andthen, they began making their way towards Gerald…
