The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 534
They threw death stares at Gerald.
Gerald had unintentionally embarrassed them previously at the hospital.
Because of that incident, any word that came out of his mouth at the moment seemed to be just infuriating.
âOkay, thatâs enough. It has been a while since Gerald came back, so letâs eat first.â
The eldest brother gestured everyone to the dining table after hearing what Gerald had said.
Upon the eldest brotherâs persistence, only then did the family get seated at the dinner table.
Regarding the housing matter and seeing the angered expression on their fatherâs face, he was afraid that he would fall sick once again from the stress and tension.
Hence, for the time being, no one touched on the topic.
âGerald, have you finished your internship? Have you found a job already?â The third brother quizzed.
âHah, seems like he hasnât found any job yet, though. Itâs difficult to look for a job these days, and if it wasnât for our third bro pulling some strings, even Francis wouldnât have found a job. But look at him now, he works in an office for an insurance company, isnât that great?â The third sister-in-law boasted proudly.
âQueenieâs job is even better! Although her job is quite laborious, it holds the infinite potential for future developments! Francis is still young for his age; being able to live so comfortably is not a good thing!â
The second sister-in-law scoffed and replied.
âIâm not looking for a job,â Gerald said, cutting the conversation.
âYou canât afford to not get a job! Are you planning to get by your days with just your lottery money and do nothing? Youâll starve to death sooner or later, and besides, without a decent job, whoâs going to look up to you?â The second sister-in-law sneered.
âYeah, Iâm afraid itâs quite difficult for someone like Gerald to find a good job, but hey, our company is short of a toilet cleaner. I remembered last time Aunt Lacy, who cleaned the hallways, said their cleaning company was short of cleaners, so she told us to help her find one. Although the job seems pretty shabby, it is still a job nonetheless!â
Queenie spoke up; her voice was cynical.
âHmmm, Queenie is right. Gerald, if you want to find a job, I can persuade Aunt Lacy with some gifts to get you the position!â The second sister-in-law nodded in agreement.
âYeah, that wonât be a problem!â Francis chuckled as he, too, agreed.
When they first met a while back, Francis and Queenie were still on probation.
After Gerald had embarrassed them with tens of thousands of dollars, their pride was hurt. But now, after entering the working world, their knowledge had widened. To them, Gerald was still a nobody who had just won a small lottery.
They continued to take turns to throw jabs at Gerald.
Gerald lowered his head as he ate his food.
After a while, he finally spoke up, âMy birthday is in another three or four days. Iâve invited my friends to come over, and Iâm treating them to dinner; all of you should join us too.â Gerald extended the invitation in a low voice.
âHuh, okay⦠Well, Gerald, itâs not like we like to ridicule you or anything; you may have some money, but why even bother holding a birthday celebration? Itâs not like you can compare with others anyway!â
âWeâll see when the time comes; weâll go if weâre free.â
âYeah, weâre all kind of busy at the moment; we donât have time for your birthday!â
âOh right, during my meeting today, my leader told us there will be a major event happening in just a few days. Itâs said that all the leaders from the province will be attending this event, so weâve got many things to handle. Iâm sorry, but I have no time to spare.â Francis said.
Queenie, too was busy with something else.
Gerald caught on to their intentions immediately. None of them would spare even a minute for his birthday.
âYeah, no problem, if youâre not busy, you can come over. Just saying. Thatâs all.â Gerald replied.
Everyone stopped talking at that instant.
âGerald, you can ask your friends to come over. Weâll still celebrate with you, and Iâll even prepare a big feast!â Mr. and Mrs. Winters said in unison.
Upon hearing their words, Geraldâs heart warmed up, âOkay, Iâll let them have a taste of your cooking Mrs. Winters! Iâll get the groceries!â
They then continued briefing chatting.
Once dinner was over, the brothers drove home.
Everyone was ready to go to bed. Suddenly, Mr. Winters called out to Gerald.
âGerald, wait a minute! Iâve something important that I must tell you!â
