Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 399
“Huh?”
A moment of silence broke out in the room. Everyone was staring at the young man who just spoke.
Give you face?
Who are you? Why would I give you face?
The person who just spoke was none other than Gerald.
He had been outside the room, watching in excitement when he saw Douglas getting embarrassed and humiliated.
It had nothing to do with him, after all.
Now, Louie obviously had eyes for Leila, Cindy, and the rest of the girls.
He didn’t have many reasons to worry about Leila.
After all, even though Leila was somewhat polite to him on the surface, Gerald knew very well that this girl actually
despised and looked down on him.
There was no need for him to brag or show off in front of her.
However, Cindy was also here, and Gerald would feel bad if he really did not care about her.
She had treated him well since the beginning, never once despising him in any way. She was also the kind that held
no preconceived judgments or prejudice in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPerhaps, it might not have meant anything to Cindy, but Gerald was still very grateful nonetheless. Thus, he decided
to take a stand for her sake.
“Gerald, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don’t you just get lost? There are some things about the
underground that you will never understand.”
Leila reprimanded Gerald with a cold hard look on her face.
She couldn’t accept it. Leila grew up in a small town, and she was very well-informed. She naturally understood the
situation about to unfold tonight.
be that as it may, Leila’s mind was made up. What was the big deal anyway? At most, she would have to finish up
an entire bottle of white wine like Douglas did, then run out of the room quickly. Louie wouldn’t dare be too
rambunctious, would he?
Unexpectedly, Gerald stepped up and pretended to be a hero. She was annoyed now, really wanting to give him a
tight slap or two across his face.
“Give you face? What right do you have?” Louie asked with a deep frown. The rest of the men in the room also
stared at Gerald.
Gerald put his hands in his pockets, grinning lightly.
“This girl over here is my friend. So, I will settle this issue on her behalf. Mr. Lourdes, if you really want to drink, why
don’t you let me make a call so that I can get some people here to accompany you?”
Naturally, Gerald wanted to pay no attention to a puny roach the likes of him. He looked at Cindy.
Louie gawked at Gerald and sneered. “Young brat! Did you know that there are grave consequences for pretending
to be the hero? Based on your words, it seems you’re getting some people to deal with me too. Hahaha! Why don’t
you take a look at your pathetic face right now? Ask yourself. Are you worthy?”
“Nothing to worry about, Gerald. You should leave now,” said Cindy, her tone worried and anxious.
Gerald gave Cindy a reassuring look.
“It’s okay, don’t worry,” he promised with a smile.
Gerald then looked at Louie.
“So, what about it, Mr. Lourdes? Why don’t you tell me if you dare or not? My people will be coming over here later.
Perhaps they’ll have a good drink with you?”
“Okay. Fine! It’s the first time I’m challenged before so many of Serene County’s reputable folk. It seems I’ll have to
experience it for myself today, but allow me to put in all the ugly words first. I may not be so forgiving later. Know
what happens to those who dare offend me? I believe you will find out very quickly if you just ask around,” retorted
Louie in the most condescending way as though Gerald was a joke.
Gerald simply asked Cindy, Leila, and the rest of the girls to leave now.
Cindy looked at Gerald with worry on her face. She felt suffocated but wanted to stay back and accompany him
anyway.
As for Leila, she simply stared blankly at Gerald, as though he was really an idiot. After that, she dragged Cindy
away forcibly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLouie did not stop them. It was because he knew that there had to be a sequel to this. When the time came to look
for those girls, it wouldn’t be as simple as making them drink a bottle of white wine.
Gerald made a phone call after that.
Of course, the call was to Drake and Tyson.
“Call. Call as many people as you can! Hahaha!”
When the call was done, he looked at Louie with a smile on his face.
For several reasons, Gerald had no choice but to keep a low profile in front of acquaintances. This was the case
when he was at Willie’s house today. It was all because he was an elder.
Gerald was no prodigal son of a millionaire, so he usually tolerated whatever that could be tolerated.
As a matter of fact, it would be elementary for Gerald to give their family a slap in their face if he wanted to.
However, things were different with Louie this time, just like when he dealt with William Rye from Rye Group. It
would be problematic, but Gerald wasn’t afraid.
Very soon.
The sound of cars screeching to a halt could be heard, where a larger number of luxury cars pulled up at the
entrance of the karaoke bar.
Bodyguards, dressed in black, stepped out of the cars in unison. They were all led by Drake and Tyson, Gerald’s
current base manager, and personal bodyguards.
Wherever Gerald was, so would they, providing him with on the clock security support.
“Mr. Crawford is inside. Go in now, double-time!”
