Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 27

“Gerald, you want to book a room for dinner? Based on your ability? Oh my god. Do you even know

how much it costs to have dinner here?”

Whitney looked at Gerald with a cold expression on her face as though she was staring at an idiot.

She thought that this guy was crazy. Why would he possibly think that he would be able to afford a

meal at Homeland Kitchen?

“Beauty, do you know this man?” the manager asked as he looked at Whitney with a smile on his face.

To be honest, looking at Gerald’s dressing and the clothes that he was wearing, the manager did not

feel that Gerald would be able to afford a meal here.

This was because the prices to dine here ranged from one hundred and fifty dollars to two thousand

five hundred dollars per person.

Two thousand five hundred dollars was the price for the booking of a private room, excluding the cost

for the consumption of food and drinks.

This was because on Mayberry Commercial Street, Homeland Kitchen was known for the taste and

quality of their food!

If the customer could only afford to pay one hundred and fifty dollars, they could only get a seat in the

main hall. There was a different entrance fee for each floor.

However, the manager felt that Gerald might be able to afford the cheapest entrance fee. The manager

was not snobbish and she did not look down on Gerald but she had only asked about Gerald because

she was curious as they knew each other.

“Of course we know him! This person is famous for being a pauper in Mayberry University! He’s so

poor that he can’t even afford to pay for his own meals or his tuition fees!”

“Yes, and he’s still thinking of dining at this restaurant?”

The two girls standing behind Whitney also spoke up at this time.

Victor laughed before he shook his head and said, “Whitney, don’t say that. Who knows if Gerald is

here today because he’s running an errand for Danny or any of the other boys? Perhaps he’s just here

to book a room on their behalf?”

“That’s true…”

At this time, the manager smiled before she looked at Gerald and said, “Sir, may I know if you’d like to

book a room for yourself or a friend? I’m not implying anything by this. I’m simply trying to confirm your

booking. Besides that, which package would you like to book?”

Gerald was relieved because this female manager was actually very polite and she was not in the least

snobbish at all.

He quickly nodded before he said, “I’m booking the room for myself. I’m treating some of my friends to

dinner tonight and I’d like to book three tables.”

“Hahaha. You’re making the booking for yourself and also treating others to dinner? Are you kidding

me?”

Whitney laughed as she held onto her belly.

Even though they had already settled the bill, they had no intention of leaving at all. They wanted to

stay and see how Gerald could afford to pay for the private room that he wanted to book.

Gerald could not be bothered with them. He had heard that Whitney and the rest of them had ordered

the three hundred dollars package for each of them.

However, after looking at the menu, Gerald felt that there was nothing delicious on the menu. If he

wanted to treat his classmates to a delicious meal, he had to pay for a more expensive package per

head.

Therefore, Gerald replied, “I’d like to book the six hundred dollar package! Please help me book three

nice tables!”

“Alright then, sir. You’ll need to pay five thousand dollars as a deposit! “

The manager smiled slightly at this time, while Whitney and the rest of them were startled. Gerald was

actually asking for a more expensive package compared to Victor and he was actually booking three

tables for dinner tonight!

Was he going to order this expensive package and eat only spicy and sour potato shreds?

Crazy! This man was absolutely insane!

Was he rich?

This was ridiculous.

Gerald did not even hesitate before he simply took out five thousand dollars from his backpack and

placed it on the counter in front of the manager.

Whitney was stunned for a moment. “Okay, Gerald! It seems as though you have enough money to

come out for a good meal! Then, let me tell you that I won’t be helping you apply for any subsidy to pay

off your school fees! You won’t receive any money to pay for your tuition fee this semester!”

“Thanks for worrying about me but I’ve already paid my own tuition fee.”

Gerald did not know what else to say to this girl.

Even though Whitney was very beautiful, she was very snobbish and she only had eyes for the rich and

wealthy. She always treated those who were poorer as dirt on the ground.

However, Gerald felt that Mila, the girl whom he had met in the auditorium the other day, was really

nice. The impression that Gerald had of her was that she was very beautiful and quiet, and just one

glance at her made Gerald’s heart palpitate uncontrollably. Unfortunately, she was not here today.

Whitney’s eyes widened in shock at this time. “What did you just say? You’ve already paid your tuition

fee for this semester? You even have five thousand dollars on you now? Does that mean you have

some money now? What…what’s going on?”

“Oh, I won the lottery.”

Gerald was helpless. If he did not say anything to clarify the situation, this woman would continue

nagging him until she died. Therefore, he decided to carry on with his lie.

“You won the lottery? How much did you win?” Whitney asked in a hurry.

She felt that Gerald was not acting himself at all. First of all, he was being too generous. The deposit

that he paid for the three tables alone was five thousand dollars! Moreover, he would also have to fork

out money for drinks tonight. After all, this restaurant was famous for their wine and liquors. This way,

Gerald would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for dinner tonight.

In other words, Gerald must have won more than thirty thousand dollars. No, he must have at least fifty

thousand dollars or more! Otherwise, he could not possibly be so arrogant!

“Uh…not much, not much.”

After that, Gerald closed his backpack before he turned around to leave immediately.

Why did he have to reveal so much to Whitney?

Anyway, he did not want anything to do with her at all.

“What? So, he just won the lottery? What’s the big deal? He can’t even be compared to the rich second

generation anyway.”

When he saw the arrogant expression on Gerald’s face and how uncomfortable Whitney felt, Victor

spoke up immediately.

“Whitney, what is the point of getting angry at someone like him? When I return to the university later,

I’ll ask Danny and his friends to take care of this arrogant kid!” Victor said coldly.

“Yes! Isn’t it just tens of thousands of dollars anyway? Why is he acting so arrogant?”

Whitney’s friends also chimed in at this time.

After that, Whitney made up her mind. She had to get to the bottom of this matter and find out how

much money Gerald had actually won from the lottery!
