Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1009 Gerald then gave Misty a call to cancel their lunch plan. After all, getting more information from Kalebwas definitely his priority.

“Well? Is he coming along?” asked Lydia nervously the moment Misty hung up the call.

“He’s probably unwilling to join us since you scared him so much…” replied Misty with a slightlydisappointed tone.

“That’s great to hear! Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, Jamie said that we’ll be having our lunchat Logan Grand Hotel! That way, we’ll simultaneously be able to have a look around the best hotel inthe Logan Province!” cheered Lydia excitedly as Misty returned a bitter nod.

Upon arriving, however, they were immediately stopped by a waiter who was standing by the entrance.

“Apologies, but someone has booked the entire Logan Grand Hotel today. We’re afraid that you’ll haveto choose another restaurant to have lunch in. Again, our sincerest apologies,” said the butler.

Hearing that, Lydia—who had earlier been quite eager to dine there—immediately becamedisappointed. Due to her earlier excitement, she had even prepared to snap photographs of the hotel’sinterior through her cell phone! To think that they would end up getting prohibited from entering!

“For someone to book the entire hotel… How many people are attending? Being such a spacious hotel,there will definitely be seats to spare, right?” asked Lydia.

In response, however, the waiter simply shook his head.

Seeing that, she sighed before stomping her foot in anger as she said, “How annoying!”

“Let’s just go elsewhere… Lunch is lunch no matter where we eat it,” advised Misty.

Agreeing, the group then began leaving the place. However, Lydia herself kept turning back to look atthe hotel, unwilling to just accept that someone had booked the entire place.

Soon after, several luxury cars could be seen stopping at the hotel’s entrance.

Widening her eyes in shock, Lydia immediately recognized all the rich and prestigious people from theLogan Province as they stepped out of the cars. Making sure that there were no creases on their suits,the group of prestigious people seemed to be waiting for someone.

“H-hey! Look there! Isn’t that Mr. Zander Lovewell? The president of the Lovewell family?” whisperedLydia in astonishment.

Following the direction of Lydia’s gaze, Misty soon nodded before replying, “Indeed he is. So it wasChairman Lovewell who had booked the entire hotel! That explains everything! Still, Chairman Lovewellnever hosted such grand feasts before at the end of the previous treasure exchange events… Thismeans that there’s a possibility that an extremely important guest is coming over!”

“An extremely important guest, you say?” said Lydia as she and the other members of their groupcuriously waited along to see who the distinguished guest could be.

They didn’t have to wait long for the door of a car—that was parked in the middle—to be opened. Outstepped an old man before respectfully inviting what seemed to be a youth out of the car.

Chairman Lovewell himself took a step forward and respectfully shook hands with the youth.

Lydia, however, now looked extremely stupefied as she said, “…I-isn’t that… Gerald?”novelbin

Misty found herself covering her mouth in shock as she replied, “Y-yes he is! He told me he was busyso he couldn’t have lunch with us! To think that it was because he was coming over to Logan GrandHotel!”

“Who cares about that? Look! Why are Chairman Lovewell and the others treating him so respectfully?Isn’t he just a loser?” asked Lydia, feeling as flabbergasted as she was humiliated.

After all, she disliked him a lot. To think that he actually had such powerful connections! For a moment,she even wondered if all this was simply a hallucination. Sadly, the thought only lasted for a shortmoment as reality dragged her back down to earth.

Now that she knew he was so influential, Lydia bit her lower lip as she regretted treating him like thatearlier.

Sure, his attire was certainly still lowly by her standards, but looking at him now, he looked quitehandsome, especially when he was standing together with all those rich businessmen.

Gerald himself had now entered the grand hotel with both Zander and Kaleb, completely oblivious tothe fact that Misty and her group of friends had been staring at him in astonishment just secondsearlier.

He had thought that he was only going to have a simple feast with Kaleb. To think that Zander hadbeen invited as well.

“Are you truly sure that this person holds great strength…? No matter how much I look at him, heseems to only be a normal youth!” whispered Zander to Kaleb after pulling him to the back for a briefmoment.

“And why would I ever lie to you, Zander? Please be careful not to look down upon Mr. Crawford. Hisstrength is beyond our wildest imagination. Do you understand?” replied Kaleb.

“Well, if he’s truly as strong as you claim, then perhaps the Lovewells will finally be able to resolve ourcurrent crisis peacefully. Should that happen, then know that our family will honor you with the highestrespect possible for the rest of our lives!”

“Humph! If you’re willing to go through so much trouble just to give me respect, then you’d be better offbegging for Mr. Crawford’s help. Should he be willing to stand on our side, then all our problems willcease!”

With that said, both of them re-joined Gerald before entering further into the hotel.

Contrary to a simple lunch, a party had been hosted and after a simple exchange of pleasantries,everyone drank three rounds of wine.
