The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 479
âPfft! Do you even need to ask? Heâs probably here to get what little pocket money he has left in his bank account! Hahaha! All of you probably didnât notice, but he didnât even have any money in his wallet yesterday!â said Douglas as he laughed.
Leila didnât say anything else. When he was still rich, she couldnât deny that she had some feelings for him.
Now, however, she felt nothing for him after witnessing all that he had done yesterday.
âThatâs right! Heâs come to withdraw money and Cindy here came together with him!â said Leia as she too, laughed.
Leilaâs face scrunched slightly when she heard Cindyâs name. She immediately pulled Cindy to the side and began telling her tales of how he was broke and that he may have pulled her along to cheat her of her money.
Once she heard all that, Cindy looked at Gerald with anxious eyes. âWhy did you sell the car, Gerald?
Also, why did you sell it for such a low price?â
She was sincerely worried about Gerald.
âIâll tell you about it if an opportunity arises in the future. For now, Iâm just going to go withdraw some money. Iâve an appointment at noon!â replied Gerald as he smiled at Cindy.
He didnât even bother to look at anyone else as he walked to the counter.
Douglas himself brought the girls closer to the counter to observe Gerald. He wanted them to see Gerald make a fool of himself in front of the others.
âHow much money would you like to withdraw, sir?â asked the clerk.
âNinety thousand dollars, please,â replied Gerald without batting an eyelid.
âNinety- What?â said Douglas, startled.
Leila was taken aback as well.
The same went for Leia and Cindyâs mother who were already heading back into their office. They froze and turned around in shock.
âJust a minute, sir!â
After Gerald entered his password and validated the transaction with his signature, the money counting machine came to life.
Douglasâs smug smile disappeared in an instant.
âYou⦠you still have money? Didnât you use all of it to buy that car?â asked Douglas in surprise.
âDid I say I used all of it?â replied Gerald, coldly.
âThen⦠How much did you actually win?â It was Leilaâs turn to ask.
Cindyâs mother and Leia herself had inched closer to the group by then. All of them waited anxiously.
âI wonâ¦â
Gerald made sure to keep the suspense up for as long as he could. He deserved at least that. Once he had enough, he smiled and said, âActually, forget it. Itâs not that much. Thereâs really no need to talk about it!â
âYou!â Leila could only manage a single word. She was furious.
Gerald couldnât fit all the money into his small bag so he asked one of the cleaning staff there for a black garbage bag. He stuffed the moneyâall ninety thousand dollarsâinto it and nodded to Cindy with a smile before leaving the bank with the bag.
ââ¦So⦠He actually still had money!â shouted Aunt Leia, devastated.
âThat Gerald! How much did he actually win from the lottery?â asked Leila anxiously.
âD*mn it all! I think heâs just doing all this on purpose! Heâs just pretending to be poor in front of us!â
Douglas was beyond annoyed at that point.
After all, he had just received a huge mental slap from Gerald. All his intentions of having fun were now down the drain.
As for Gerald, he soon arrived at the sales office and the salesgirl from before definitely felt the same mental slap that Douglas received when Gerald fully paid for the house in cold, hard cash.
One hundred and five thousand dollarsâ worth of cash in one go.
This was a big boss.
