Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 49
“What’s the plan?” Gerald could not help but ask out of curiosity.
When Quinton came over to talk to Aiden just now, Gerald also noticed that even though Quinton was
very polite towards Aiden on the surface, it was obvious that they did not have a good relationship.
Quinton was simply being polite and backing off because of the strength and power of the Baker family.
“Hahaha. I’ll let you watch a video!”
After that, Aiden took out his cell phone before he showed Gerald a video that they had recorded.
It was a video in a big bedroom. At this time, Quinton was walking into the bedroom with an
unconscious woman. This woman looked about thirty years old and she was very beautiful.
As for what happened next, there was really no need to elaborate.
Unfortunately, the video was only three minutes long and Quinton was already done.
Even Gerald felt a little embarrassed after watching the video.
“Why do you want to destroy him? Isn’t it normal for young people to pick up girls?” Gerald asked with
a bitter smile on his face.
Aiden remained silent for a moment before he said, “Mr. Crawford, yes it is true that we do enjoy
picking up girls. However, it is different for Quinton! Do you know who the woman in the video is? She
is his stepmother!”
“Damn it!”
Gerald’s eyes widened immediately.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was too much stimulation.
“Do you really hate him so much that you had him followed and investigated?” Gerald could not help
but smile helplessly.
Aiden replied, “Who asked them to break the unspoken rule between all owners of the businesses on
Mayberry Commercial Street? The Baker family was originally intending to buy the rights to run the
Grand Marshall Restaurant. Moreover, we were already the highest bidder at that time and there is a
tacit understanding between all of us who participate in such large auctions. During the last three
minutes, we’re usually not allowed to put in any more bids! However, the Ziegler family placed another
bid in the last minute and that was the reason they had won the rights to run the restaurant!”
“Since he started a war with my family, then I will start a war with him!”
Gerald understood that they did not dare to carry out their plan before this because they were afraid
that Zack would pursue this matter and hold them responsible for it. After all, it was taboo for business
owners on Mayberry Commercial Street to fight among themselves.
“So, you want my acquiescence?”
“Yes! As long as you can back us up and tell Uncle Zack not to blame us, you can just leave the rest to
us!”
Gerald did not say anything but he simply took a sip of red wine from his wine glass.
Aiden instantly understood what he meant and he quickly gave instructions to his younger brother. The
younger brother took the cell phone before he said, “Okay, get ready to watch a good show…”
After that, the young boy quickly ran towards the back of the banquet hall.
Since Gerald had no money in the past, he had no choice but to be bullied and humiliated all the time.
Why should he continue being bullied by others, now that he was already a rich man?
Therefore, Gerald was more than willing to back Aiden and his friends up.
After all, he found Quinton’s behavior very peculiar and disgusting.
The opening ceremony continued proceeding smoothly. Then, it was finally time for the ribbon-cutting
ceremony. As the young owner of Grand Marshall Restaurant, Quinton naturally had to go on stage to
cut the ribbon.
“Alice, why don’t you come with me?” Quinton asked as he gently grabbed Alice’s hand.
Many people in the banquet hall were envious of Quinton at this time. Xavia felt especially jealous
because she could not understand why she was so unlucky. First, she dated that useless pauper,
Gerald. After that, she was dating an ordinary second-generation rich kid like Yuri.
It would be great if she could find a boyfriend like Quinton who had extraordinary wealth and power!
Alice naturally did not turn down Quinton’s invitation.
This way, Quinton and Alice held hands as they walked towards the stage. As they were walking past
Gerald’s table, Alice could not help glancing at Gerald. It felt as though she was trying to show him that
no matter where he was, they would always be a gap between them. She was trying to tell Gerald that
he could never be compared to them.
Quinton also looked at Gerald in a triumphant manner, as though he was trampling all over Gerald
under every one’s watchful eyes.
In fact, the reason why Quinton hated Gerald so much was because as he was growing up, his self-
esteem had been hurt by another poor man similar to Gerald!
“In the days to come, I’ll make sure that I trample all over you and keep you under my feet! You won’t
just be a poor man then!” Quinton thought to himself.
Gerald was still drinking his red wine when Aiden’s younger brother returned to the table. After that, he

have to wait to watch the good show.
At this time, Gerald looked towards Quinton who was looking very energetic on stage.
Both his father and stepmother were there on stage and Gerald could tell that there was a very
abnormal expression on Quinton’s stepmother’s face when she saw Quinton holding Alice’s hand as he
led her to the stage.
“Everyone, I want to introduce my girlfriend to you. This is Alice!”
At this time, everyone sitting in the banquet hall were all staring at Alice, who was holding hands with
Quinton.
After that, Quinton introduced her to the crowd of people.
Alice had a very beautiful appearance that even Gerald could not deny. It was only natural for Quinton
to feel very proud because she was his girlfriend.
“Alice, why don’t you say hello to everyone?” Quinton whispered to Alice.
Alice said nervously, “Hello, everyone. I am Alice!”
“Wow! Beauty, how did you meet Quinton? Or did you decide to start a relationship with him after some
sort of memorable encounter?”
“Yes! Tell us about it so that we can learn from Quinton’s experience!”
At this time, there were many second-generation rich kids who knew that it was impossible for them to
get close to a magnate like Aiden. Therefore, they decided to suck up to Quinton instead.
Alice ran her fingers through her hair before she said, “I’ve already known Quinton for a long time.
Uncle Ziegler and my father used to be comrades in arms. As for the reason why I decided to start a
relationship with Quinton, this is solely because he did something for me after he came back to the
country and that really moved me deeply!”
“Wow!”
