    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 469


    “Uncle Jung, Aunt Leia, I’vee to visit!” said Gerald with a smile on his face as he carried a bag of


    gifts into their house.


    Leia simply looked at him without saying anything else as he ced the bag down.


    Willie himself was already on the sofa again, looking toward the ceiling without even caring to reply to


    Gerald’s greeting.


    Le felt embarrassed seeing Gerald get ignored like this since she knew that Gerald was probably


    doing very well in Mayberry City.


    After all, he had been the one who had sent her to the station the other day in a big Mercedes Benz


    G500!


    In all honesty, Le was slightly grateful toward Gerald.


    However, she hadn’t had the time to tell her father about this yet. By the time Le got home yesterday,


    this series of unfortunate events had already kicked off.


    Even then, her father was already on the verge of copsing from all the pressure. How could she ever


    tell him about how much fun she had had?


    Sensing the awkwardness, Le walked over to Gerald before setting the bag he had brought on the


    table.


    “Thank you foring over to visit, Gerald!” said Le with a smile.


    Dous simply narrowed his eyes at Gerald when he heard his daughter greeting him.


    Gerald didn’t really have anything to say so he simply nodded and took a seat on one of the couches.


    He had anticipated Willie’s poor attitude. Thus, before arriving, he had made sure to fortify his mind


    psychologically.


    “Oh, funding! Where on earth am I supposed to get such a huge sum of money to take over this real


    estate project!” said Willie out of the blue in a saddened tone.


    “Uncle Jung, what about the Dream Investment Group in Mayberry City? They’re going to invest and


    spend one and a half billion dors to develop Serene County. Have you asked for their help in this


    project?”


    “Of course I have. To be honest, I know a few of the managers working for the Dream Investment


    Group. Though we used to share a good rtionship, I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to


    look for them now. After all, whatpany would want to take on this project anymore!” replied Willie


    as he shook his head miserably.


    “They’re the only hope you have left now, Uncle Jung. Besides, we’re talking about the Dream


    Investment Group. This is just a small sum of money for them! As long as you can get them to take on


    this project, the matter can be easily resolved! My dad told me this as well!”


    Knowing that Willie was obviously relying on him to deal with the issue, Dous spoke every word


    confidently.


    “Dous, you’ve helped us ask your father to put in some effort to deal with our situation… Your Aunt


    Leia, Le, and I will remember this favor for as long as we live!”


    “Worry not, Uncle Jung! My father will definitely try to get the Dream Investment Group to help in this


    matter!”


    Though he said all that, Dous was thinking otherwise in his mind.


    Pfft. As if my father would ever worry about this.


    If I weren’t after Le, I wouldn’t even have bothered wasting my timeing here.


    Despite thinking so, Dous still knew that he had to say all that to save his face.


    “Alright then… I feel much more relieved after hearing you say all that… Dous, why not stay for


    dinner tonight? You know what, all of Le’s friends and ssmates are invited to join as well! Aunt


    Leia will be preparing dinner for all of you right now!” said Willie, some color finally returning to his face.


    “Alright, I’ll go clean up first! But wait! I don’t think we have enough vegetables for all of us here! And I


    can’t leave to get any since I still have to prepare the meat!” said Leia anxiously.


    At that moment, she noticed Gerald drinking a ss of water. He had been sitting quietly on the same


    couch ever since he entered.


    Suddenly feeling irritated, she said, “Since you’re clearly free, why don’t you get the ingredients,


    Gerald? I’ll write you a list of things to get and you can run over to the supermarket just outside the


    community to get them for me!”


    “Me?” asked Gerald, startled. Wasn’t he just being treated like a servant then?


    Thinking about it, however, it would still be more awkward for him to stay here since he would have to


    continue looking at Willie’s disgusted face.


    What more, if he left now, he could give Zack a call to tell him to take over the real estate project.


    In a way, that would mean that he had fulfilled the task that his father had entrusted to him.


    Nodding to himself as he got up, he agreed to Leia’s request.


    He was rather d to be able to leave, honestly. He was only here because his father kept insisting


    that he helped them after all!


    He didn’t need to be in their good books and he knew it.


    “I’ll go with you, Gerald!” said Le as she saw him leave with the ingredient list and a basket that he


    had been given.


    “Le! Can’t you differentiate between who’s more important? Hurry up and pour a ss of water for


    Dous!”


    When he had heard Le’s words, Willie started getting anxious again.

    Even Leia could feel that something was wrong.


    What was going on with their daughter? From the moment Gerald had entered, Le’s tone toward him


    seemed to bepletely differentpared to how she used to talk to him.


    The Crawford family weren’t good people after all!
