Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 468

Upon hearing that claim, Gerald’s father immediately coughed aloud.

 

“You… you rascal! What nonsense are you spouting? Just know that my relationship with both of them isn’t how

you’re imagining it! Ignoring that, your Aunt Leia is part of the Jung family as well, and they really need your help

now. Just help them if you can. Think of it as though you’re helping me repay a debt to them! Don’t forget to look

for Xara too! Your mother is here! That’s it for now!”

After saying all that, his father hung up immediately.

Gerald held on to his cell phone, frozen for quite some time before finally coming back to his senses.

…What?

Gerald was tempted to call his mother at that moment to tell her about all this. After all, he had been helping his

father lie to her and he couldn’t help but feel guilty about it.

After giving it some thought, he sighed. He would trust his father for the time being.

Rubbing his forehead, he looked at his phone and saw that it was only 5.30 p.m.

Scratching the back of his head, he sighed again. So be it. Having lost his appetite, he left his room and began

driving to the Jung family’s house.

Upon arriving, Gerald saw that many people were already there.

Inside the house, Uncle Jung was lying on his sofa. He was on a drip and feeling faint from all the things happening

to him. Since he had to take responsibility for the event and was even dismissed from his position in Weston

Merchants Holdings, the sudden wave of anxiety had hit like a truck, causing him to feel ill.

Accompanying him, were some guests who chatted occasionally with the man.

“It’s going to be fine, Willie. No use crying over spilled milk. Since the impact of the accident was so sudden and

huge, the county leaders may have just dismissed you out of pure anger! Who knows, they may even reinstate you

once things have calmed down!”

“He’s right you know. Besides, Leia’s working in a bank now, right? There should be no problems for you,

financially!”

“Thank you, Lucas, Zayne… Why don’t you stay over for dinner tonight?” replied Willie weakly.

“Oh, there’s no need for that. We only came to pay you a visit. We’ll be taking our leave soon!” said both of them as

they stood up.

“Lucas, Zayne, is there really nothing more that you can do to help Willie? Both of you have several good

connections if I recall correctly. There must be some way you can further help him!”

Hearing that, both of them simply shook their heads. They had done what they could and the people who saw their

reactions understood.

“Don’t worry, Aunt Leia. I’ve had a talk with my dad about Uncle Jung’s situation before coming here today…” said

Douglas.

Naturally, he was there too.

Hearing this, both Willie and Leia turned to look at him.

Douglas couldn’t help but think highly of himself. They were all looking at him so expectantly, knowing that he would

be able to help them when they were at their lowest.

“So… how did your father respond?” asked Willie as he continued looking at Douglas.

“He said that the situation wasn’t that serious. The only reason it sounds so terrible is because you’re making a

mountain out of a molehill. After all, you shouldn’t be the one shouldering all this responsibility in the first place!”

“My dad added that as long as you can recruit new developers to fill in the vacancies and achieve a settlement with

the injured workers, everything else should be easily resolved,” replied Douglas with a smile.

To simplify, he just needed to find new funds to take over and support the development of the project.

“But this is already such a messy project! Worst come to worst, we may even have to demolish the real estates that

have already been built! I can’t see why anyone would take up this kind of real estate or project after hearing about

this disaster. What more, the county would be responsible for some of the compensation funds. How could our

county possibly have that much money? We simply can’t afford it!” said Willie as he shook his head slowly.

He had already considered that approach before.

Ding dong!

At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Thinking it was just going to be another one of his colleagues or maybe even a leader who had come to pay him a

visit, he told Leila to help him get up. “Thank you. Please welcome our guest, Leia!”

His wife simply nodded before heading toward the door. The moment she opened it, Leila was taken aback.

“Gerald?”

‘Why… Why is he here?’ Leia couldn’t help but think to herself, disappointed.

Hearing his name, Willie shook his head as well, frustrated.

When Leia returned to his side, he told her to help him lie down again.

To think that he had thought that it could have been a leader or colleague who would be able to help with the

situation. The gap between his expectations and finding out that it was just Gerald was simply too wide.
