Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 389
âHuh?â
When Gerald turned around, he saw a middle-aged man hurrying toward him.
They did not seem to recognize the man.
Could he have known Gerald personally?
Gerald stepped out of the crowd.
âDamn, Gerald. Why did you go for it? Didnât you hear how he was calling for one, Mr. Gerald?â
âHaha, yeah! Arenât you embarrassed?â
The few friends from high school followed Gerald as they laughed.
Even Morgana was laughing as she covered her mouth.
Montana rolled her eyes again and again at Gerald.
âI must have made him drunk⦠Iâm speechless!â
Montana shook her head and sighed.
âMr. Crawford, Iâve brought your car for you. Itâs in Sector-C of the parking lot. Here are the keys, and the master instructed me to ask you to return early.â
âI got it, Mr. Lyle. If thereâs nothing else, you should head back.â
Then, a boy next to Cameron stepped out and shook his head with a chuckle.
âF*ck⦠I think he mistook him!â
Gerald felt a little embarrassed.
âYouâre hilarious, arenât you? Your name sounds nothing like Crawford at all!â
The boys continued to ridicule Gerald.
âOkay, okay, thatâs enough; letâs return to our table and continue with the drinking. Oh right, Miss Lewis, Iâll organize a student reunion when youâre free, and you have to attend. All right?â
Cameron didnât bother ridiculing Gerald, replying to Morgana instead.
âOkay, no problem. Once you gather the students for a reunion, Iâll definitely be there!â
The group agreed as well. Paying no attention to Gerald, they returned to their tables.
Gerald followed Montana up the stairs.
âArenât you the least ashamed or embarrassed? Why did you show yourself when that guy called for Mr. Crawford? F*ck! Iâm so ashamed of you!â
Montana reproached Gerald a few more times before they both returned to the event hall.
Perhaps he was used to it that he simply sat down on the empty seat next to Montana.
Just as Montana was about to start cursing, the emcee had already started the nightâs event.
It seemed to have gone on for quite a bit.
She had to quieten down.
When she looked at the stage, a spinning raffle wheel had appeared out of nowhere.
Several names were written on different sections.
One of them was Mr. Crawford, but without the first name.
This was a welcoming party for Mr. Crawford, after all, and everyone already knew who âMr. Crawfordâ
was.
The event continued with a raffle, and in the middle, the prize of a Mercedes-Benz G500.
âMontana, you almost missed the good stuff. Look at that, whose name do you see on that wheel?â
The woman beside Montana grabbed her arm.
âJonathan? F*ck! Youâre in the raffle?â
Montana excitedly pulled her husband, Jonathanâs arm.
âHaha, yeah, they were drawing the names earlier, and I made it into the shortlist! Itâs enough of an honor to have my name on the same list as Mr. Crawford. It doesnât matter if I win the G500 or not.â
Jonathan was gratified.
âHow could you say that?! Thatâs a Mercedes G500, worth almost half a million dollars! If we win that car, can you imagine how awesome it would feel going out with it?â
âRight⦠by the way, is Mr. Crawford here? Which one of them is Mr. Crawford? Look at that table. It looks full of big shots!â exclaimed Montana excitedly.
âGerald isnât here yet, but the legendary Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke are both here. Mr. Lyle said that Gerald might come over later, anyways, since Mr. Crawford said heâll come, he will come tonight.â
Jonathan was excited.
On the other hand, Gerald was looking at his phone. As expected, there were several missed calls from Zack.
Seeing Gerald was using his phone, Montana became dissatisfied again.
She was about to throw some insult when suddenly, the voice of the emcee filled the entire hall.
âEveryone, the raffle is starting now! Letâs spin the wheel and see who wins the top prize tonight, the G500!â
In the county, a G500 was a pretty big deal. It was pretty apparent that they had put in an immense effort into this event.
With a loud hurrah, the emcee spun the wheel.
Ding!
