    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 556


    As he drove on, Gerald noticed something weird. There seemed to be a sudden increase in luxury cars


    in town. Most of them were parked outside hotels.


    Though it was rather strange, Gerald didn’t think too much about it.


    At that moment, Gerald’s phone began to ring. He saw that it was a call from Mrs. Winters.


    “What’s the matter, Mrs. Winters?” asked Gerald with a smile after picking the call up.


    “Gerald? Where are you? I saw that Queeny had driven home by herself earlier. She looked slightly


    upset. Did both of you get into some kind of argument? Did she leave you there alone?” asked Mrs.


    Winters, her voice filled with concern.


    “Don’t worry, I’m driving back now in a friend’s car!” Gerald had no choice but to say that so that Mrs.


    Winters wouldn’t overthink the situation.


    “I see! That’s good to hear… By the way Gerald, could you get a bag of rice in town on your way back?


    That way your uncle won’t have to go out anymore!”


    “No problem!”


    Gerald then found a supermarket nearby and bought two bags of rice, a bottle of peanut oil, and a few


    other items.


    As Gerald moved the items into the car, he remembered that back when he had just returned to Serene


    County, Mr. Winters had refused to take any money from Gerald. Gerald had promised himself then,


    that since they wouldn’t ept his money, he would just use the money to get necessities for them.


    Realizing that he had almost forgotten his own promise to himself, he rushed back into the


    supermarket. After a few trips in and out to make sure he could carry everything, Gerald ended up


    buying a few boxes of milk, good wine, and an array of herbs and spices as well.

    As he opened his almost filled to the brim car trunk again, he heard a surprised voice call out to him.


    “Gerald?”


    Gerald was holding a pressure cooker in his arms when he turned to see who had called him. It was a


    girl standing at the entrance of a hotel that was right next to the supermarket.


    “F*ck! Le? What are you doing in this town?”


    The girl standing at the hotel’s entrance was definitely Le, and that left Gerald equally as surprised


    as she was. After all, he had never thought he would see anyone from the Jung family again after that


    incident.


    Gerald had just been too disappointed and heartbroken with them. Even after Willie encountered


    further problems, Geraldpletely ignored them despite his father’s constant reminders to look after


    them on his behalf.


    He hadn’t answered any of Le’s calls either. This made their current situation more awkward than it


    should have been.


    “Well, we’ve just arrived and I was about to go buy something from the supermarket. I really hadn’t


    expected to see you here!”


    Le was still very kind and polite toward Gerald. She then began walking over to him. It was obvious


    that she wanted to continue chatting.


    “We? Who else did youe with?” asked Gerald.


    “My parents and my dad’s colleagues… They’re here to enjoy themselves!” replied Le in a soft tone.


    “I see!” said Gerald as he nodded.


    Was there anything interesting in Touin? Why had so many people specificallye here to have fun?


    However, Gerald didn’t really want to continue talking to Le anymore. Therefore, he didn’t bother to


    ask her for further details.


    “Speaking of which, Gerald, are you still living in your house?” asked Le.


    “Of course. Where else would I be living at?”


    “I see! I don’t think I’ve ever been to your house before… After all, you were the one who always came


    to mine when we were still kids!” replied Le as she smiled.


    “Well alright then, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll be taking my leave first! I have to hurry back home to


    cook!” said Gerald, immediately changing the topic.


    Le was aware that Gerald didn’t want to talk to her. However, the more Gerald ignored her, the more


    she wanted to chat with him!


    After all, she was Le Jung! Was she really that undeserving of his time and attention?


    “By the way, Gerald, you only bought one cable for your pressure cooker. Don’t you n on getting a


    spare one? After all, the voltage in viges can get pretty unstable and cables are prone to get burnt


    out easily!”


    “Ah. I didn’t really think of that. Thank you!” replied Gerald with a slight smile. If she had only been this


    kind toward him in the past, things could have been perfect.


    After cing the pressure cooker into his car, he turned to re-enter the supermarket again to get


    another spare cable.


    “Hehe… You know, since I’m going in anyway, you can just leave that to me!”


    Before he could stop her, Le had already ran into the supermarket. Shortly after, she returned with a


    spare cable in hand. Just as she handed it over to Gerald, a middle-aged man’s voice could be heard


    from the entrance of the hotel.


    “Le, what are you doing?”
