Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 467 “Well, what exactly happened?” asked Gerald, confused.

“See, this place was originally a construction project. The Weston Merchants Holdings were hired tooversee the job about a year ago. Apparently, the developers used less than appropriate qualitymaterials and because of that, there’s been a collapse around the project area. More than a hundredpeople were injured because of this, sixty of whom were workers! Thankfully, no lives were lost thistime around!”novelbin

“Yep. I heard that the developers ran for the hills last night! Those from Weston Merchants Holdings aredefinitely in hot water now. About a dozen people, including Mr. Jung, have been dismissed from theirpositions, or so I’ve heard! They’re waiting to be dealt with at this very moment!” replied the workers.

As Gerald recalled, Mr. Jung was the director of Weston Merchants Holdings. He had been dismissedas well?

After thinking about it for a while, Gerald asked, “Why would the developers need to run away? Sinceno lives were lost, compensation would’ve been enough, no? What more, the main responsibilitydoesn’t fall on the investors, right?”

“The thing is, I’ve heard that the developers ran out of money quite a while ago. According to rumors,six months ago to be exact. But that’s beside the point. Right now, we’re just wondering who to look for!We just want our salary!”

“As for Weston Merchants Holdings, well, someone has to take responsibility for the matter. All this ishappening during such a critical moment too. If you haven’t heard, a large group has been planning to

develop and reconstruct Serene County. Due to such an unfortunate event happening now, the leadersmust be furious. The impact of this accident is truly terrible!”

After hearing the whole story, Gerald finally understood the general situation.

However, he couldn’t do anything to help with the matter, though he still sympathized with all thoseinvolved in it.

Gerald then turned his car around and drove off after thanking the workers.

Along his journey, Gerald received a text message from Zack. It was the same story about thebuilding’s collapse which the workers had told Gerald about earlier. What a disaster!

Seeing that Zack had messaged him, Gerald took the opportunity to ask him to look for a masterspecializing in jade.

Gerald knew that Zack knew way more people than he did.

Once Gerald got back to the hotel, he took a shower. As he was about to leave for a quick dinner, hereceived a phone call. It was from his father.

“Dad?”

“Son, you’ve made an investment in our hometown right? I heard that a building collapsed there. Sucha catastrophe…”

“That’s right, though my group isn’t involved in that matter.”

Gerald thought to himself that his father was very well-informed.

“Oh, I know it isn’t. However, I just wanted to say that your Uncle Jung has been dismissed from hisposition. Could you go over and help their family out?”

“Dad, I’ve already told you. Uncle Jung has already forgotten all about his friendship with you a longtime ago. Why are you still asking me to help him?” replied Gerald in a puzzled voice.

Gerald’s father was really something else. The same topic always popped up whenever his fathercalled him.

Gerald was constantly reminded to offer the Jung family help if they faced any difficulties.

Why else would Gerald continue to help Leila even though she despised and looked down on him?

However, Gerald had been disappointed with the Jung family since the last time he had gone to theirhouse. He had also explained to his father about the situation back then.

That left a sour taste in Gerald’s mouth and even though he knew that the Jung family was in hot waterthis time, he didn’t really care.

After all, just as Uncle Jung had said, Gerald was not to go to his house to look for him unless therewas something truly important.

Gerald really couldn’t be bothered with their family.

“Well, some things can’t be explained easily. Anyway, have you met up with your Aunt Leia yet?” askedhis father, suddenly changing the topic.

Gerald frowned slightly before saying, “Yes, I’ve met her. Why?”

“To tell you the truth, I’ve let your Uncle Jung down before this. I can’t help but blame myself for whathappened. Just… no matter how they may treat us, please help them whenever you can…” repliedGerald’s father as he sighed.

“…What? What did you do?”

Gerald was shocked.

Could his father and Aunt Leia be having an affair?

Was that the reason why Uncle Jung was always so cold toward Gerald’s family?

“Dad? Explain yourself. Also, what exactly is going on with that woman you asked me to look for? ThatXara Machamer. Is she and Aunt Leia both your women?”

Gerald couldn’t help but ask out of frustration.
