Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 288

“Holy moly, what did you just say Margie? This phone costs 2830 dollars? That’s crazy!”

At the same time, Hayward’s surprised yelp could be heard coming from the mobile phone store not too far away.

Sharon and Lilian who were beside him were also a little startled.

They were definitely shocked by the phone’s price.

They have tried out the phone’s functions and features, all of which were really great. The phone’s camera quality was clear and crisp, and for pretty girls like Sharon and Lilian, having a phone with an excellent camera was more important than anything else.

They all looked at Hayward expectantly, waiting for him to buy one for each of them.

Beads of cold sweat trickled down Hayward’s forehead.

“Nah, it’s too expensive. It’s over 1500 dollars for one, close to 6000 dollars for two, this phone is way too overpriced!”

Hayward wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.

It was confirmed that his house was going to be demolished, but the compensation would only be transferred to him after two or three months. As for now, he could only draw out money from his credit card, and only pay back once he receives the compensation.

He could not afford the phone even if he was beaten to death on site.

“Oh, so there are still things that you can’t afford! Since these beauties like the phone very much, you should at least buy one for them!”

Margie was quite good with her role as the salesperson. She used Sharon and Lilian to persuade Hayward to buy one from her.

“Ehem, maybe not now, we’ll see next time! Come on, let’s go somewhere else!”

He took Sharon and Lilian to another place.

Margie was left disappointed. It took her so much effort to lure Hayward to her store, but he still managed to get away.

She immediately followed behind the group.

“Hayward, why don’t you have a look at this store? They’re a well-known brand too, and even if you buy their lowest-end model, the phone will still attract the attention of many people!” Lilian spoke up.

“Well, let’s see then! F*ck, the lowest-end starts at a thousand dollars?”

Hayward approached the store and his jaw dropped when he saw the price of the phone.

Not to mention, there was a promotional event for a 5000 dollars phone!

He could not hide his shock this time round and he said, “Why don’t we go somewhere else…”

Sharon and Lilian were both disappointed again.

1000 dollars for a phone was indeed expensive, but he was about to receive a huge sum of money once his house got torn down for development anyways. Spending a little bit of that money on them would not hurt much right?

It was not like they were asking him to buy them the 5000 dollars phone.

Just as Lilian was about to beg Hayward, she caught something at the corner of her eyes.

She just so happened to see Gerald, who was inserting his SIM card into a phone.

“Holy moly! Gerald, you’re like a ghost that wouldn’t stop following us around, eh? Besides, did you even check the brand of the phone that you’re buying? How can a peasant like you afford it?”

Lilian was not in the mood. When she met Gerald the first time, there was nothing much for her to say.

But now, they were in a store where Hayward could not even afford to buy them any of the phones.

And just as they were about to leave…

They saw Gerald here, flipping the phones around and pretending as if he was able to afford any.

This struck Lilian’s nerves.

Gerald replied in a mocking manner.

“I’m getting a new phone, how is this any of your business?”

Gerald loaded his SIM card into the phone. He quickly downloaded Paypal and was ready to complete his payment.

But after hearing Lilian’s words, he was having none of it.

He immediately replied with a harsh tone.

“Good heavens! Stop pretending, have a look on yourself, how can someone like you afford this type of phone?”

Lilian grew even more agitated.

“Lilian, look! He’s holding the 5000 dollars phone! F*ck, and he’s thinking of buying it? Hahaha!”

At that point, Hayward felt a lot more relieved for not being able to afford the phone. Gerald was there, right in his face, to take his place as the punching bag.

Sharon, too, was glaring at Gerald as her brows furrowed.
