The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 568
âSettle down now, todayâs Geraldâs birthday and he said that heâd treat us to dinner. Since all of you donât seem to have anything better to do, letâs just celebrate his birthday together! Show us to the restaurant, Gerald!â suggested Mr. Winters.
âWhat? Weâre busy dad. You know, weâre going to have dinner with some of Bossâs friends. Why donât you come with us instead?â asked the first sister in law.
She then turned to look at Francis before saying, âFran, Jazz, both of you can run along now. You donât have to waste any more time here, and remember to be on your best behavior when your leader arrives!â
Francis and his colleagues nodded immediately. They knew how important the event was. After glaring at Gerald one final time, Francis left with his colleagues.
As for Queeny, she had been quietly observing Gerald the entire time.
Just a while ago, everyone was making fun of Gerald. Some were even openly insulting him. However, Queeny knew better since she was already aware that Gerald had quite a bit of influence in the attraction. Back in the day, Gerald wouldâve just lowered his head in embarrassment. Now, however, he was smiling. He had been smiling the entire time.
âHow is he so confident now? Where did all this confidence even come from?â
âCould Gerald really be a powerful figure now?â
These were the thoughts swimming in Queenyâs mind. Queeny had been very uneasy since the day she last met Gerald. She just couldnât put her finger on why. She was simply afraid of hearing any more about Gerald, thus she hadnât told her parents anything regarding the incident.
However, after hearing Gerald say that he was celebrating his birthday here, she was now growing more and more worried by the second.
âHmm? Mr. Winters? It really is you!â called out an old, husky voice from behind them. Gerald turned to see who had spoken, and he saw an old man. Behind him, followed a family of four.
âWaxham! I didnât expect to see you here!â exclaimed Mr. Winters excitedly.
Waxhamâs family members greeted them politely as well. As Gerald scanned through the family, he froze when he saw the two girls standing behind the middle-aged couple. They were Michelle and XabrinaWaxham.
âSo, how did the blind date go? I tried asking Elle, but she just wouldnât tell me anything! I just want to know how it went. Oh Gerald, is our darling Elle really not to your liking?â
âDad, stop talking about him! Maybe he just backed off because he knew he was too poor to be able to date our dear little Elle!â said Michelleâs mother.
They hadnât expected the old man to ask about the blind date right off the bat.
Though honestly, what else was there to ask about?
She had rejected him before they even met. Did the old man really think that no one would marry his granddaughter?
Mr. Winters then coughed before saying, âWell, Waxham, this here is Gerald. Iâm equally as confused as to what happened that day as well!â
âWhat? Heâs Gerald?â blurted Michelleâs mother. She was now too embarrassed to speak another word. She simply gave a few more peeks at Gerald.
Xabrina on the other hand, immediately started jumping for joy. âGerald! We meet again!â
Gerald simply gave a gentle smile at her. Michelle on the other hand, awkwardly took a few steps backward. It was clear that Gerald favored her sister much more than her.
âMom! Dad! Look there, isnât that Gerald?â shouted a feminine voice. A girl had pointed at Gerald and she was now approaching them.
âHumph! Heâs probably just here to check out what the deal is with this crowd. Who cares if it even is Gerald?â scoffed a middle-aged man.
