The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 416

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 416 Louie’s father had even told him that he deserved to be beaten up.

His father explained that the person who had beaten him up was none other than the extremely richand humble heir, Mr. Gerald Crawford from Mayberry.

Hearing that, Louie felt chills run down his spine.

He had almost brought great trouble upon himself that day.

Perhaps like his father had said, being beaten up was a good thing after all. Maybe it could even getMr. Crawford to invest in his company.

Thus, with that possibility in mind, Louie was faced with a cocktail of surprise, fear, and joy at the sametime the moment he saw Gerald.

“Gerald! So you were eating here as well!” said Louie with a chuckle as he patted his hurt bottom.

‘What.’

Cameron and the others were all thinking the same thing. They had all been eager for some drama butLouie’s reaction only left them stunned.

‘What? Why does Louie know Gerald? He even addressed Gerald in such a familiar way!’

‘How is that possible!’

“That’s right. If we weren’t, how else could we have seen you cutting the queue?” replied Gerald with afaint smile on his face.

In his mind, he was wondering if he had not beaten Louie severely enough that night.

“W-well, you see, my dad’s invested quite a bit in this place before. Because of that, I’m used to nothaving to queue! But don’t you worry Gerald! Your meal’s on me today! Actually, scratch that. All ofyour meals here in the future will be on me!” said Louie as he rubbed his hands together.

“That won’t be necessary. This lady here won’t even lower the price by a dollar for me. We aren’t beinggiven any special gifts either. I’m afraid that this will be the last time I ever come here,” replied Gerald,a smile on his face.

“What? Give me a minute, Gerald!”

Realizing that it was the cashier lady who had offended Gerald, Louie turned to glare at her. She hadbeen standing beside them all this time, a dumbfounded expression on her face.

“Ah! Louie, so this gentleman here is your friend!”

The cashier lady was terrified now. She began thinking up excuses in her mind as cold sweat drippeddown her forehead.

‘I only treated him like that because Cameron had signaled me too! He told me to make it difficult forGerald so I was only following his orders!’

‘Cameron’s family works in the health department so of course I wouldn’t dare disobey him!’

‘Besides, that Gerald guy looked like a loser so I didn’t think twice about it. To think that he knew you,Louie!’

Before she could even begin explaining herself, a slap was heard.

Louie’s hand left her now reddened cheek as he shouted, “How could you look down on a customer!Isn’t Gerald just here to enjoy a meal? How dare you bully a customer you’re not even familiar with! Ibetter hear about your resignation the next time I come here!”

“But I… I only did it because…”

Her left cheek was swollen and red and in pain as she looked toward Cameron.

Cameron had already been nervous even before she looked at him. He simply pretended as if theincident had nothing to do with him as he quietly began sneaking out of the place.

He didn’t want to retreat like a coward, but the situation was a difficult one so with a great reluctanceand unwillingness in his heart, he left the premise.

He regretted his actions tremendously.

As for Gerald, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Louie before finally leaving with Giya and theothers.

Gerald already knew that Louie was just a rich and useless brat so he didn’t want to get too close tohim.

Upon leaving the shop, they caught sight of Cameron and the others standing not too far away fromthem.

In the beginning, Cameron and the others had wanted to enjoy Gerald’s misfortune, but humiliationgreeted them headfirst instead.

This was especially true for Cameron who had a terrible expression on his face.

“How on earth does Gerald know Louie?!” said Sully.

Her respect for Gerald had grown tremendously now.

Cameron simply sneered at her question. “He just showed Gerald a little respect! He said all that butGerald was still the one who paid the bill in the end! It’s only a matter of respect. Don’t you know whoLouie is? He would never befriend a person like Gerald!”novelbin

Cameron was brimming with jealousy.

As per usual, Gerald made up a story regarding him and Louie to casually explain what had justhappened to Giya and the others.

They then left and returned to the hotel.

“Oh my god! Why is Gerald staying in such a grand hotel?”

Since Tammy and the others had not entered the hotel earlier, the little cousin was shocked when theystepped through its front doors for the first time.

What more, Gerald had spent a lot of money just on the meal they were treated to earlier. He also knewa lot of people. Tammy and the other distant relatives were constantly surprised the longer they stayedaround Gerald.

As they went further into the hotel, a few men tried to gain Giya’s affection. However, they gave upimmediately the moment they knew that they first had to rival Gerald. They were nothing compared tohim.

Once they got into their room, Gerald put his phone on the coffee table to wash some fruits for them.

“Oh my god! Tammy! Tammy come look! Look at the phone Gerald’s been using!”

The little cousin picked the phone up to show her, an expression of surprise on her face.

Tammy was equally stunned.

‘That phone could easily amount to two to three thousand dollars… Why would Gerald have it?’

At that moment, his phone began to ring.

“…Hmm? The most beloved Mila? Who is this person?” said the little cousin as she looked at the callerID. She was dumbfounded by the discovery.
