Chapter 1619
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1619 Regardless, the terrified Johnie could only stare as Gerald slowly walked over to him⦠before squatting right before him and outstretching his right hand.
Looking at Johnie right in the eye, Gerald then said, âWell, as youâve promised, a hundred million dollars for losing, please!â
Upon hearing that, Johnieâwho had already closed his eyes, expecting the worst to happenâinstantly found himself heaving a sigh of relief⦠As it turned out, Gerald was particularly trying to teach him a lessonâ¦
Either way, Johnie understood that it was his total defeat, so he simply handed the hundred million dollars over to Gerald. Money would always come and go, so that amount was nothing much to Johnie.
However, though he didnât particularly care about losing the money, he did care about losing his pride.
His dignity as the young master of the Lager family had been shattered, and Johnie simply couldnât stand thatâ¦
Whatever the case was, after taking the money, Gerald then left with Nori, leaving the depressed youth lying on the ground⦠It truly appeared that Gerald didnât care about Johnie at allâ¦
After quite a while, Johnie finally got to his feet before slowly limping awayâ¦
This⦠This wasnât over yetâ¦!
By that point, Gerald and Nori had just found a suitable café to chat in.
The second she sat down, Nori immediately displayed an enthusiastic expression as she asked, âSo, why did you come looking for me, Gerald? Could it be that you missed me?â
Raising a slight brow, Gerald wondered if the girl had fallen for him to even ask such a questionâ¦
ââ¦I simply came over to ask you about something!â replied Gerald with a serious face.
ââ¦Oh, come onâ¦! You couldâve given me a more interesting reply, you know? What a boring man!â
pouted Nori rather adorably.
Gerald was a rather eloquent person and he knew it, but he was also well aware that he was already a married man. With that said, he needed to be serious when talking with other women so that they wouldnât get the wrong idea. With that said, the fact that he had pretended to be Noriâs boyfriend earlier was already a rather big exception on his part.
Truth be told, if he wasnât already a thing with Mila, who knows, maybe he wouldâve actually had feelings for Nori. Then again, it was pointless to think of such scenarios when he already had such a perfect wife.
Regardless, Gerald ignored Noriâs pouting and simply asked, âSo⦠Tell me, do you know anyone by the name of God Lord, Nori?â
âNot at all!â grumbled Nori as she turned to face her side.
Seeing her reaction, Gerald could only sigh in resignation. Girls in this era were simply too difficult to deal with!
No longer a person who entertained the whims of others, Gerald then stood up before saying, âVery well, then. You can just forget about it. Iâll be taking my leave now, and sorry to have bothered you!â
Seeing that Gerald really was getting ready to leave, Nori instantly started to panic. If Gerald really left now, then all her previous actions wouldâve been meaningless!!
Gerald, for one, was well aware that Nori wasnât really angry with him. She was simply pretending to pout so that he would care a bit more about her. Unfortunately for her, Gerald was no bootlicker, so he wasnât about to fall for her bait anytime soon.
âFine, fine! I wonât tease you anymore! You really are an insensitive person, you know?â grumbled Nori as she quickly pulled him back to his seat.
Hearing that, Gerald obliged before turning to look at Nori, keenly awaiting her answer.
