Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 559 “You know, tomorrow’s my birthday and I won’t be celebrating it at home this time. I’ve already bookeda hotel for it. Will any of you have the time to attend?” asked Gerald.

In the previous years, Mr. and Mrs. Winters had always been the ones celebrating Gerald’s birthdaywith him. This year would be no exception.

However, since everyone was already here, Gerald naturally felt obligated to invite all of them over tohis birthday banquet as well.

The third sister-in-law coughed before saying, “As if we’d have the time to go there. Francis and therest will be working tomorrow. We don’t have time to celebrate your birthday with you.”

“That’s right. What more, if you’re celebrating your birthday, shouldn’t you just be eating at home? Whydid you have to book a hotel? Have you forgotten your roots just because you have some moneynow?” said the second sister-in-law coldly.

Since Gerald was initially very poor, everyone was used to looking down on him. The fact that hesuddenly became rich from winning the lottery caused the power dynamic to flip, resulting in theirincreased dissatisfaction. This was the main reason why they were speaking to him even more coldlycompared to how they used to.

“Well, it seems that we’re all busy. Looks like you’ll have to celebrate your birthday alone!” said theeldest son next.

Just as his sentence ended, his phone began ringing.

“Hello? Mr. Walts! How are you? What’s that? Congratulations! Oh, I’ll definitely be coming with myfamily the day after tomorrow! No, no, I’m free! I’ll definitely be free once I’m done with everything that Ineed to finish tomorrow! Haha!”

After that, the eldest son hung up. He looked somewhat excited.

“What’s the matter?” asked the eldest sister-in-law.

“It’s Mr. Walts’s son’s eighth birthday the day after tomorrow. We’ve been invited to attend his birthdaycelebration so of course I agreed!”novelbin

“Hmm? Didn’t you say that you had an important chamber of commerce meeting to attend on thatday?”

“Humph! Mr. Walts’s son’s birthday has a higher priority! I’ll just cancel my participation in the chamberof commerce meeting!” lamented the eldest Son.

“Uncle, second uncle, I think we should start eating now. I still have a lot of important things to dotomorrow. I need to get back and rest as soon as possible! Actually no, I still have to make some plansonce I get home since I’ll be meeting up with Mr. Jung tomorrow!” said Francis.

Naturally, he too would be busy tomorrow.

“Isn’t Mr. Jung already here? I said that I’d treat him to dinner tonight. Just ignore the fact that he’s onlya department chief now. After all, since he was a pretty reputable figure in the past, he still has severalrelationships and connections in Serene County!” replied the third son in a prideful tone.

“It’s really a pity that he wasn’t free tonight. It seems that his schedule is already fully packed!”

As everyone began to chime in one after another, Gerald simply listened. He could only conclude thatthe Mr. Jung they were talking about was most definitely Willie.

However, he remained silent.

Since everyone said that they wouldn’t be free tomorrow, Gerald didn’t try to insist for them to attendhis birthday celebration anymore.

Not that it mattered to him. Everyone had their own things to do.

After eating a simple meal at Mr. Winters’s house, Gerald went back home.

Not too long after, he received a call from Mila.

“Happy birthday, Gerald!” shouted Mila.

“It’s not my birthday yet, why are you wishing me happy birthday so soon?!” said Gerald beforelaughing as he lay on his bed.

“What’s stopping me from wishing you twice? I’ll wish you happy birthday again at midnight! Not like Ican take back my earlier wish anyway. By the way, Gerald, could you come over to look for me in twodays’ time? Once you’re done settling your own matters of course. I’m at the television station now. I’vejust transferred to become an intern reporter today. I can finally do something that I’ve always wantedto do now!” said Mila happily.

Mila had told Gerald about this some time ago. She would take an examination to apply to become anintern reporter.

She managed to pass and she was now officially an intern reporter. Gerald was equally happy for her.

“Sure thing! I’ll come look for you in two days’ time. We’ll have a big celebration together for you then!”replied Gerald as he smiled.

“Alright! Ah, do note that that date may not be fixed. I may have a short holiday in a few days’ time sowe may need to discuss it again then. Speaking of celebrations, how do you plan to celebrate yourbirthday tomorrow?”

After the two talked about his birthday plans for a short while, Mila eventually said that she needed totake a bath, so they both ended the call.

Just as Gerald was about to put his phone down, his phone started ringing again.
