Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 68 ”Yes, yes, yes! I think the restaurant must be engaging in some special promotional activities!”

Victor also chimed in as he was very unconvinced at this time.

When a waiter walked into the room, Victor asked him directly, “By the way, can I ask you a question?Will we be given all the special signature dishes for free as long as we order a plate of stir-fry potatoshreds?”

The waiter could not help but look at Victor in confusion. Then, the waiter replied in contempt, “Are youcrazy? Are you seriously asking me whether you will be given all our signature dishes for free if youorder a plate of stir-fry potato shreds?! There must be something wrong with your brain!”

After saying that, the waiter shook his head before turning around and leaving immediately.

Homeland Kitchen was one of the most prestigious establishments on Mayberry Commercial Street.Who gave an ordinary guest such as Victor the audacity to cause trouble for a waiter?

Victor felt as though he had been slapped right in the face.

To think that he had actually dared to ask the waiter that question.

“Gerald, can you even finish so much food all by yourself?!” Whitney could not help but ask angrily.

She was very annoyed and frustrated that Gerald was not offering them any of his delicious food at all.

“Oh. If any of you want to try some of these signature dishes, please do not hesitate to come overhere!”

“You!” Whitney was utterly angry at this time. She felt as though the food she was eating wascompletely tasteless at this time. She really wanted to try the signature dishes on Gerald’s table.

“I know!” Victor, who had been very flustered, suddenly exclaimed out loud. “Hahaha. Gerald, you musthave spent a lot of money the last time you were here, right? I heard that you spent more than fifteenthousand dollars that night. I guess that is the reason why the floor manager is giving you specialtreatment and sending you so many signature dishes for free! Am I right?”

Victor did not dare to think of any other possibilities at all. This was the only possibility and explanationthat he could accept.

“Perhaps…” Gerald replied as he smiled. Then, he continued feasting on his food.

“Alright, then. You should continue eating! I will wait and see how you are going to have the mood tokeep eating later!” The expression on Victor’s face suddenly changed at this time.

After that, he stood up immediately.

Gerald had really given everyone in this room a slap across their faces because of the preferentialtreatment he was receiving.

Victor was especially embarrassed because he could only afford to order two signature dishes, but therestaurant had actually served Gerald twelve signature dishes all at once.

Moreover, Gerald obviously knew that Victor liked Mila, but he had actually invited Mila to eat with himin front of everyone else!

Victor was extremely annoyed!

“Victor, what do you mean?” Whitney suddenly asked at this time.

“What do I mean? Whitney, didn’t you say that Gerald won thirty thousand dollars from the lottery? Yuriand the rest of the guys have already cheated him out of more than twenty-two thousand dollars for thedinner the last time. Moreover, Gerald even spent seven thousand dollars to rent the Ferrari and thedriver to drive him around for the day. That could only mean that he is left with nothing at all now!”

“The restaurant is only giving him so much face because they think that he is rich and has a highconsumption and spending ability. If we tell the floor manager that this guy here is just a pauper whohas nothing at all, how do you think they are going to react, then?” Victor replied coldly as he glared atGerald.

“Hahaha. The only reason the restaurant is giving him so much face is just because they are hopingthat they will be able to attract the customer to come back and patronize the shop again in the future! Ifthey find out that Gerald will not be able to afford to come back here, they will definitely not let him offso easily!” Nathaniel could not help but sneer.

“This guy is really unbelievable. He only won thirty thousand dollars in the lottery and he actually spenteverything in one go! He’s pretty remarkable!” Lenny was also laughing when he heard these words.

At the same time, the beautiful girls who were all sitting at the side shook their heads slightly as theystared at Gerald.

“Oh, no! Brother Victor, if we only tell them about this later, do you think the people at HomelandKitchen will think that we are in cahoots with him? Do you think they will try to settle the score with usthen? After all, we are all in the same room as him!” Nathaniel patted his forehead as he asked Victoranxiously.

“That’s right! I think we should go down and tell the manager about this matter immediately, lest peoplemisunderstand us!”

“Yes, I agree!”

Victor glared at Gerald before he headed out of the room and went downstairs immediately.

Mila was also feeling a little nervous at this time. “Gerald, is what they said true? Did the floor managerreally give you so many signature dishes just because you spent more than twenty-two thousanddollars here?”

Gerald smiled before he replied, “Mila, it’s okay. Everything is fine. Have you eaten enough? Are youfull yet? If you’re full, let’s go to the counter and settle the bill now. You don’t have to worry about me atall!”

Mila nodded as she listened to Gerald’s words. Then, she followed Gerald down the stairs.

At this time, Whitney and Victor were already talking to the floor manager.

“Just listen to me, manager. Gerald is just a pauper. He is not the wealthy or powerful man you think heis at all! He is so poor that he cannot even afford to buy a pair of new pants!” Victor said as he pointedhis finger at Gerald.

“That’s right! You gave this person so many free signature dishes for nothing at all! If we did not bringhim here today, he would never have had enough money to come in at all!” Nathaniel chimed inimmediately.

“Why don’t you ask him to work here to pay off his debts? After all, it would be a complete waste to lethim eat those signature dishes that are worth three to four thousand dollars for free! Do you know thathe won thirty thousand dollars in the lottery and spent twenty-two thousand dollars here straightaway?!After spending the rest of his winnings, he has no more money left!” Quinn added coldly.

The floor manager simply stood quietly without saying anything at all.

By now, many people had already gathered around the ground floor because of the huge commotion.

“What is happening here?”

“It seems as though there is a pathetic trash who is pretending to be a wealthy and powerful man.However, it seems as though his cover has been blown!”

“D*mn! There are so many weird people in this world!”

Gerald simply turned a deaf ear to the conversation and discussions going on around him.

He walked down the stairs calmly and headed toward the floor manager.

Then, Gerald smiled as he asked, “Sister Jenny, how much money do I have left in my account?”

This so-called account Gerald was talking about was the money that Zack had already remitted intoGerald’s account after that night.

This was because they had to calculate the money and return it to Gerald yearly anyway.

“The money that was returned to Mr. Crawford… there is still thirty thousand dollars in your account!”

“Ahh!” As soon as Sister Jenny spoke, everyone in the room could not help but gasp in shock.

“Alright, then. I will top up another forty-five thousand dollars into my account today.” As he spoke,Gerald took out his bank card before swiping it on the POS system. Within a few seconds, the systemdisplayed that the forty-five thousand dollars had already been received!

“What?”

“Godd*mn it!”

“Forty-five thousand dollars?!”

Victor’s eyes widened in shock. He felt that the scene before him was simply too unreal.

Everyone else’s mouths were also wide open at this time.

How could this be possible? They had initially thought that Gerald would not have any money leftbecause he would have already spent all of the thirty thousand dollars.

Unexpectedly, Gerald had thirty thousand dollars in his account at Homeland Kitchen, and he wasactually adding another forty-five thousand dollars to his account!novelbin

That was seventy-five thousand dollars!

“Gerald! How much money did you actually win in the lottery?!” Whitney could not help but exclaim outloud at this time.

She had an intuition that Gerald might have won several millions of dollars…
