Chapter 226
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 226 Finn didn’t mind spending a thousand five to three thousand dollars. He couldn’t spend more even if he wanted to anyway, let alone spend twelve thousand dollars for a bouquet. She turned to look around, desperately wanting to avoid the mocking glances of the restaurant’s guests. Instead, all she saw was Gerald looking toward her. He seemed to be happily chatting away to that unsightly girlfriend of his. Without warning, Sara burst out in a fit of rage. She stood up and pointed directly at Gerald, who was at the VIP table, before screaming at him at the top of her lungs. “Damn it, Gerald! What are you laughing at?!” That pathetic loser! What was so funny? Didn’t he reserve a VIP table just to act rad? How dare he laugh at her? “Huh? Who said I’m laughing at you? I am just looking at the flowers. Why?? Does that bother you too?” replied Gerald in anger. Since he saw that Queta seemed to fancy those roses a lot, he asked her which ones she wanted. For that, he got one hell of a reprimand from Sara. “Oh, god! Are you actually interested in the roses? What makes you think you’re worthy of them?” Sara sneered. Gerald shook his head helplessly and said nothing after that. Instead, he snapped his fingers and motioned the waitress selling the flowers over to him. When she saw that her services were being required, the waitress smiled and eagerly pushed the cart over to Gerald.
“How many roses are there?” “Sir? Are you asking about the number of roses in this cart?” the beautiful waitress asked in astonishment. “A total of one thousand and one roses, sir!” she went on enthusiastically. “One thousand and one roses. So, that should be about thirty thousand dollars then?”
“That would be about right, Sir. May I ask, Sir, what do you intend to do?” the waitress asked as she stared at Gerald with her eyes wide open. Queta, meanwhile, realized what Gerald was about to do. Indeed, she’d been staring at those Damascus roses for a while now. She remembered seeing them in her textbooks when she was young. A sudden and surprising turn of events today helped her finally see the magic of the Damascus rose. Having only seen the roses in pictures, she couldn’t help but stare at them in a daze. Gerald must be planning to buy all the roses since he could tell that she really wanted them. She was just about to dissuade him when it was already too late. Gerald had already taken out his bank card, and nonchalantly, he said, “I’ll take all of them, and I’ll pay by card.” “Excuse me?” The waitress was stunned. Sara gulped in shock, feeling as though she had just been served a tight slap on her face. This couldn’t be happening. Was that pathetic loser still playing rich? He had to be putting on an act. How could he possibly have that much money? However, the card’s successful transaction’s unmistakable sound felt like countless slaps pattering Sara’s face, one after the other. That was thirty thousand dollars! Oh god. Gerald actually had more than thirty thousand dollars, and he spent all of it as if it didn’t matter the slightest? “I will be sending these to your residence, and I’m sure they’ll find a place in your beautiful home!” Gerald wasn’t even bothered to look at Sara’s shocked expression. Instead, he continued chatting with Queta as they enjoyed their meal together. Once they were done eating, they left the restaurant. Not even once did Gerald bother to look at Sara. Sara felt an awful pain in her after seeing Gerald ignoring her completely.
Good god… a man she’d despised and looked down on all the while turned out to be filthy rich? What?! No. She had to figure it out! Snapping out of her stupor, Sara immediately chased after Gerald. However, all she saw was the rear end of the Lamborghini pulling away from the front of the restaurant. Where were Gerald and that girl he was with? “Isn’t that a luxury sports car? Oh, god, finally! I see somebody driving that thing. It seems as though the mysterious rich young man has already made an appearance. Why didn’t I approach him earlier? If only I was a step quicker, I would have seen who that rich and young man was. What a waste!” Sara stomped her feet anxiously. Once again, the boat had left the dock, and she missed the opportunity to meet the rich and young man. But then… Something seemed to cross Sara’s mind. She gasped in horror. No! Where was Gerald???

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 227 She saw the Lamborghini leaving as soon as she came out. Gerald was gone too. But where could Gerald be then? Could that mean that… Damn! She did not even dare think about it. She really didn’t dare think about it anymore! Sara took a deep breath. Wasn’t that confirmation that Gerald was the Lamborghini’s owner? Sara suddenly thought of the first time she met Gerald. At that time, unceremoniously sliced watermelon on the Lamborghini’s hood. Now, Gerald was here, and that car was also here! Not to mention how Sara personally witnessed Gerald blowing off thirty thousand dollars without hesitation whatsoever! Argh!
Gerald was the owner of that car? How wealthy was Gerald really? Sara was petrified, unable to accept her own unbelievable deduction. It wasn’t right! It couldn’t possibly be true! Gerald, on the other hand, had driven back to school after sending Queta home. He headed to the small remote parking lot, where he usually parked his car. He then got out, locking the car behind him. “Hello, Gerald!” A girl suddenly jumped out from the bushes, leaving Gerald started. “God-damn it! What are you doing?” He took a step backward in shock. He didn’t know if he should cry or laugh when he saw the face of the unintended visitor.
The girl standing in front of him turned out to be Whitney. “Hehehe.! I have been waiting for you for a long time, Mr. Crawford. I know you’ve been parking your car here.” “Wow! You are really amazing, Gerald. I really didn’t expect this car to be yours. You’re one bad guy. Why didn’t you tell me earlier that this car belongs to you? You made me misunderstand you!” Gerald ran into Whitney and her family when he masqueraded as Jane’s boyfriend to meet her parents. Thanks to that meeting, Whitney discovered that Gerald was the owner of the beautiful coupe. Nobody should have known about this. After returning home, Whitney had a sleepless night, where all she could think of when she closed her eyes was Gerald. Memories of everything that had happened between them unceremoniously invaded her mind. The Gerald of the past used to be a pauper who had constantly gotten bullied by her. He would always do whatever she asked him to do. In her eyes, even a dog was worthier than Gerald could ever be. However, Whitney had no idea what had gone wrong with her, not knowing when her attitude toward Gerald had changed. She even wondered if she was in love with Gerald. It did not make sense that she kept dreaming of him. And now, no matter how she looked at him, she couldn’t help feeling Gerald was absolutely stunning and charming. He was so attractive, she really wanted to bite him. Whitney had been thinking about him and dying to see her handsome Gerald as soon as she could; she had come early to wait for him. “Gerald… why don’t you say something?” Whitney gently asked. Gerald could feel goosebumps sprouting when he saw the look on Whitney’s face. “Erm… Whitney, you don’t have to be like this. To be honest, I used to hate you for that constant bullying and mocking…. Now that I think about it, I prefer how you used to treat me. So, stop being like this, okay?” Gerald replied with a gulp.
