Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 478
“Job…? Also, you still haven’t told me why you came to look for my grandpa today!” said Cindy, her curiosity
growing.
“It’s nothing serious, I just came to ask him for a favor, no big deal,” replied Gerald.
“I see… Oh! Since you’re already here, why not come in? I’ll make some tea for you!”
“Maybe next time, I’ll be back soon anyway. I’m just going to head to the bank now to withdraw some money,”
replied Gerald as he smiled.
“What a coincidence! I’m also going to the bank to pass my mother’s cell phone over to her. Let’s go together!”
said Cindy as she walked out of the shop and stood beside Gerald.
Gerald could only nod awkwardly.
All he wanted to do was to leave quietly after leaving the pendant for Matthew to analyze and withdrawing his
money. He really hadn’t anticipated running into Cindy here today.
“So, your mother forgot to bring her cell phone out with her?” asked Gerald to break the silence as they walked to
the bank.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Well, that’s sort of correct. See, my mother has several cell phones. The bank that she works with urgently needs
to attract funds and capital. Since my mother is a deputy director and she needs to meet her targets, she requires
several cell phones to call different customers. She’s just really busy all the time!” replied Cindy.
Both of them arrived at the bank not too long later.
“Mom, I’ve brought your cell phone here for you!” called out Cindy to a middle-aged woman who seemed to be
waiting for someone.
Hearing Cindy’s voice, she turned to look at Gerald and her daughter.
“Thank you Cindy, and who might this be?” asked Cindy’s mother.
“Just a friend. His name is Gerald. I think I’ve mentioned him to you last time! He was the one who had invited me
to have French cuisine at the western restaurant. Hehe… It just so happened that we met while we were both on
our way over to the bank! He’s here to withdraw some money!” replied Cindy with a smile.
“Oh? So this is the young man. Not bad, quite good looking as well! Are both of you going out together later to
play?” asked her mother.
Gerald didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to tell that Cindy’s mother must already have considered him to be
Cindy’s boyfriend at that moment.
“Oh, not at all! Once I withdraw some money to pay for my house I’ll be on my way!”
“Oh? You’ve already bought yourself a house!” said Cindy’s mother happily.
As she said that, she recalled when her daughter had told her about everything that had happened that night. The
French cuisine was apparently very expensive and this was proof that this young man was at the very least,
financially capable.
He had even bought a house for himself.
“Who’s bought a house, Deputy Director Lacy?” said a cynical voice out of the blue.
At that moment, another middle-aged woman walked up to the trio.
Gerald couldn’t help but feel surprised when he finally saw who had spoken. It was Leila’s mother, Leia.
Leia was also working at the bank, and she was a leader and deputy director as well. She and Cindy’s mother were
of similar rank.
“What are you doing here, Gerald?”
She certainly hadn’t expected to see him there.
“I came over to withdraw money!” said Gerald without even bothering to address her as ‘Aunt Leia’ anymore.
“Oh, I see how it is. Can’t even be bothered to greet me by my name now? Why even bother trying to show off if
you’re penniless now?”
“Also, you could have started working at a labor dispatch unit by this month if you had just paid according to what
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas agreed. You know, there were many others who donated much more than you had. Since you only donated
seventy thousand dollars to your Uncle Jung, you’ll have to wait a little longer before you get your job!”
Leia was taking every chance she could to widen the gap between Gerald’s status and hers.
“Deputy Director Tolbert, what are you talking about? Penniless?” asked Cindy’s mother, surprised.
“Oh, you didn’t know? So that’s why you were talking to him! I guess poor Cindy doesn’t know about this either.
Well, you see, Gerald here is now…”
And with that, Leia took the opportunity to share how Gerald’s family used to be very poor. She even told them
about the car he had sold to buy his new house.
Naturally, she also kept emphasizing how much of a pauper Gerald was now.
‘F*ck! I almost pushed my own daughter into a lion’s den!’ Cindy’s mother thought to herself as she shuddered.
At that moment, the sound of tires screeching could be heard as a car stopped right outside the bank. As the four
people turned to look, they could see several men in suits running into the bank.
“Mom! Your cell phone’s here! Come get it!”
Leila, Douglas, and the two girls from the day before entered the bank, with Leila calling out. It seemed like the
group was heading out to play again.
By some wild coincidence, they were here to pass Leia’s phone to her as well.
“Gerald? What are you doing here?” asked Leila as soon as she saw him.
