    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 468


    Upon hearing that im, Gerald’s father immediately coughed aloud.


    “You… you rascal! What nonsense are you spouting? Just know that my rtionship with both of them


    isn’t how you’re imagining it! Ignoring that, your Aunt Leia is part of the Jung family as well, and they


    really need your help now. Just help them if you can. Think of it as though you’re helping me repay a


    debt to them! Don’t forget to look for Xara too! Your mother is here! That’s it for now!”


    After saying all that, his father hung up immediately.


    Gerald held on to his cell phone, frozen for quite some time before finallying back to his senses.


    …What?


    Gerald was tempted to call his mother at that moment to tell her about all this. After all, he had been


    helping his father lie to her and he couldn’t help but feel guilty about it.


    After giving it some thought, he sighed. He would trust his father for the time being.


    Rubbing his forehead, he looked at his phone and saw that it was only 5.30 p.m.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Scratching the back of his head, he sighed again. So be it. Having lost his appetite, he left his room


    and began driving to the Jung family’s house.


    Upon arriving, Gerald saw that many people were already there.


    Inside the house, Uncle Jung was lying on his sofa. He was on a drip and feeling faint from all the


    things happening to him. Since he had to take responsibility for the event and was even dismissed from


    his position in Weston Merchants Holdings, the sudden wave of anxiety had hit like a truck, causing


    him to feel ill.


    Apanying him, were some guests who chatted asionally with the man.


    “It’s going to be fine, Willie. No use crying over spilled milk. Since the impact of the ident was so


    sudden and huge, the county leaders may have just dismissed you out of pure anger! Who knows, they


    may even reinstate you once things have calmed down!”


    “He’s right you know. Besides, Leia’s working in a bank now, right? There should be no problems for


    you, financially!”


    “Thank you, Lucas, Zayne… Why don’t you stay over for dinner tonight?” replied Willie weakly.


    “Oh, there’s no need for that. We only came to pay you a visit. We’ll be taking our leave soon!” said


    both of them as they stood up.


    “Lucas, Zayne, is there really nothing more that you can do to help Willie? Both of you have several


    good connections if I recall correctly. There must be some way you can further help him!”


    Hearing that, both of them simply shook their heads. They had done what they could and the people


    who saw their reactions understood.


    “Don’t worry, Aunt Leia. I’ve had a talk with my dad about Uncle Jung’s situation beforeing here


    today…” said Dous.


    Naturally, he was there too.


    Hearing this, both Willie and Leia turned to look at him.


    Dous couldn’t help but think highly of himself. They were all looking at him so expectantly, knowing


    that he would be able to help them when they were at their lowest.


    “So… how did your father respond?” asked Willie as he continued looking at Dous.


    “He said that the situation wasn’t that serious. The only reason it sounds so terrible is because you’re


    making a mountain out of a molehill. After all, you shouldn’t be the one shouldering all this


    responsibility in the first ce!”


    “My dad added that as long as you can recruit new developers to fill in the vacancies and achieve a


    settlement with the injured workers, everything else should be easily resolved,” replied Dous with a


    smile.


    To simplify, he just needed to find new funds to take over and support the development of the project.


    “But this is already such a messy project! Worste to worst, we may even have to demolish the real


    estates that have already been built! I can’t see why anyone would take up this kind of real estate or


    project after hearing about this disaster. What more, the county would be responsible for some of the


    compensation funds. How could our county possibly have that much money? We simply can’t afford it!”


    said Willie as he shook his head slowly.


    He had already considered that approach before.


    Ding dong!


    At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.


    Thinking it was just going to be another one of his colleagues or maybe even a leader who hade to


    pay him a visit, he told Le to help him get up. “Thank you. Please wee our guest, Leia!”


    His wife simply nodded before heading toward the door. The moment she opened it, Le was taken


    aback.


    “Gerald?”


    ‘Why… Why is he here?’ Leia couldn’t help but think to herself, disappointed.


    Hearing his name, Willie shook his head as well, frustrated.


    When Leia returned to his side, he told her to help him lie down again.


    To think that he had thought that it could have been a leader or colleague who would be able to help


    with the situation. The gap between his expectations and finding out that it was just Gerald was simply


    too wide.
