Chapter 152
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 152 Gerald was surprised. He stopped to see what they were up to. âYou! Show me your admission ticket right now!â
Ted Lopezâs anger was overwhelming. To be honest, Gerald looked nothing like a rich young man. He doubted earlier that this couldâve been a mistake, but after taking a look at Geraldâs clothing. This definitely was not a mistake! Ted hated him to the bone. âDidnât you check my admission ticket earlier!â
Gerald pointed at the female receptionist. âIf I didnât check, how would I know that a loser just sneaked in!â âMr Zimmerman, this is the person, I think he picked up your admission ticket!â Hadley shouted at him, rudely. After saying that, she approached Gerald and snatched away the admission ticket from his hands. âGeez, the world is really big and there are all kinds of people, and people like you really think you can just join tonightâs cruise party!â A few girls covered their mouths as they snickered, their eyes were filled with contempt. Only then did Gerald understand. He had a feeling that they called out to him because they suspected that he had picked up someone elseâs admission ticket, and it just so happened that someone had lost a ticket, so the first person that they suspected was him! Gerald was left speechless. âMr Lopez, call the police, this person must be trying to plot something bad!â The girls said. Hedley had already taken out her phone and was ready to call the police. âMr Crawford, so youâre here!â Just then, Aiden Baker and the others arrived. They came running over. âHuh? Aiden, itâs you!â
Yancy said at the same time. âNice to meet you, Aiden!â The few beautiful girls beside Yancy greeted him respectfully. The Baker familyâs assets were over a hundred million dollars in total. âOh, Yancy, so itâs you guys!â The group, like Aiden, were all third-year students at Johnhurst University. Of course they all knew Aiden Baker, the big bully of Johnhurst University. âMr Crawford, do you know them?â
Aiden laughed and asked Gerald. âI donât know any of them. They accused me of stealing their ticket and sneaked in, they were even going to call the police to arrest me!â Gerald smiled bitterly. âWhat?
Steal their tickets? Who the f*ck said that?â Aiden was furious. Hadley was stunned. She had heard of Aiden Baker, and he was considered quite famous, just like Mr Holden. But why was Aiden so polite towards this loser? And what did Aiden just call him? MrCraâ¦Crawford? âMr Baker, please let me explain, I think there might be some misunderstanding. We were just suspicious of this young man and we only wanted to check his admission ticket. After all, you know how important this cruise party is!â
âHehe, of course I know! Ted Lopez and Yancy Zimmerman, do you both know who this person is?â
Aiden pointed at Gerald. âHeâs Gerald Crawford, the owner of Mayberry Commercial Street. Do you seriously think he would steal your tickets?â âWhat? Heâs Mr Crawford?â The crowd had their jaws dropped all the way to the ground. âOh! Mr Gerald, Iâm really sorry!â Hadleyâs legs were trembling. She immediately bent and bowed at him. The words that came out of Aidenâs mouth were obviously valid.
âUmm, Mr Crawford, Iâm really sorry. I really didnât expectâ¦â Ted felt a lump forming in his throat, he tried to apologize respectfully. Not to mention, the girls who stood next to Yancy and mocked Gerald were simply nymphomaniacs. So, he was the super-duper rich guy, Gerald Crawford! Ah! And they have just said something so mean towards him. Ugh! Gerald was used to all the mockery. He did not feel like he needed to slap them across their faces. Even if he wanted to, he would have slapped Hadley right in the face when she tried to stop him earlier. He was only here for a simple meet-up, and he did not want to cause a scene. All he did was to flash a tight smile across his face, then he headed into the hotel with Aiden Baker and the others. His phone rang again, and it was Elena Larson calling.
âMr Crawford, have you settled in yet? Iâm afraid I wonât be able to get over to you!â âWhatâs the matter?
Is something wrong?â Gerald tried to listen closely as Elena sounded quite anxious. âArgh, I think Iâm about to go mad! As you know, Iâm at my cousinâs house now, and guess what. My cousin wants to introduce a boyfriend to me, but I donât want to! My cousin is not letting me go and thereâs no way I can hide, argh, Gerald, what should I do!â Elena had always been well-mannered, but from her tone, Gerald could tell that she was really frustrated and helpless at the same time. âOh, itâs simple, just tell them you have a boyfriend!â âBut hereâs the problem, I got all excited and told her that my boyfriend is already here, but I canât go out to meet other guys and such. My cousin started forcing me to introduce my said boyfriend to her, but where am I going to find a boyfriend? This is such a mess!â Suddenly, Elena lowered her voice, âGerald, can you do me a small favor?â âOh sh*t, what do you mean by that?â
Geraldâs eyes widened.
