Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 42
âNo, the reason weâve decided to call you and discuss this matter with you is because Alice specifically asked us to bring you along to the gathering this time!â Harper quickly informed Charlie.
âHuh?â Gerald was taken aback.
It did not make sense at all. Wasnât Alice always very annoyed whenever she saw him? Why would she specifically invite him to a party?
To be honest, Gerald had already drunk and ate a lot of food during the banquet at noon today, so he wasnât hungry at all. Instead, he was mostly really exhausted because he had been entertaining and chatting with the businessmen during the banquet earlier.
He really did not feel like going at all.
Moreover, since it was only a simple gathering, Gerald really wanted to get ready for his driving test instead.
Perhaps this was Godâs will. After all, most of the lives of the rich second generation started with gatherings and socializing. Even though he had not revealed his identity, all kinds of parties, entertainments and gatherings seemed to be revolving around him already.
When Gerald refused to attend the gathering, Harper also said that he did not feel like going anymore.
This made Gerald feel very entangled and finally, he reluctantly agreed to join the party that night.
Gerald went back to the dormitory and changed into a new set of clothes. After that, Gerald and his roommates met up with everyone else as they gathered outside the school gate.
âAlice, why did you suddenly decide to treat us to dinner? Where are we going?â
Naomi was also here and she suddenly asked Alice this question out of curiosity.
âHahaha. To be honest, it is not my treat tonight but Quintonâs! Their restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street is opening soon. If the meeting has gone smoothly in the afternoon and if theyâve obtained approval, then Grand Marshall Restaurant will officially belong to Quintonâs family!â
A look of arrogance flashed through Aliceâs face and she could not help but raise her eyes to look at Geraldâs expression at this time.
Hmph!
Did Gerald really think that he was so great just because he could afford to invite everyone to have dinner at the most luxurious place inside Wayfair Mountain Entertainment?
This really made Quinton and Alice feel very embarrassed at that time.
Butâ¦what would happen again in the future?
Gerald was still going to be the pauper that he had always been. Could he ever afford to bring everyone to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment again?
However, Quinton was different. The Ziegler family did not only own their own factory but they also owned one of the restaurants on Mayberry Commercial Street.
If he could build up a good relationship with the business tycoon, Zack Lyle, then Quintonâs future would be crystal clear.
Alice was the one who insisted on inviting Gerald to join them tonight. She wanted Gerald to know that he could never compare to Quinton and she wanted to see the awkward and embarrassed expression on his face.
However, Alice was a little disappointed. This was because Gerald had a blank expression on his face and it seemed as though he was indifferent to the situation.
âOkay then! Just wait and see!â Alice could not help but think to herself.
âAlice, since it is the opening of Quintonâs restaurant, wouldnât it be inappropriate for you to bring so many of us with you there today? After all, we arenât that close to himâ¦â
Naomi was a little worried at this time.
Jacelyn, who was fixing up her makeup at this time, suddenly announced excitedly, âHahaha! How could it be inappropriate? The reason why Alice is treating everyone to dinner today is because she wants to make an important announcement. I believe that everyone remembers what happened at the karaoke bar last week. In fact, Quinton had been the one to ask for his fatherâs help to deal with this matter. What Quinton did for us really touched Aliceâs heart.â
âFor the past few days, Quinton had been fiercely pursuing Alice and after much consideration, Alice has finally decided to give Quinton a chance. Sheâs going to be in a relationship with him and heâs going to be her first love!â
âWhat?â
Everyone was shocked after listening to Jacelynâs words.
Unexpectedly, Gerald was the first to scream out loud.
Damn it! Someone had stolen his credit again?
