Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1619
Regardless, the terrified Johnie could only stare as Gerald slowly walked over to him… before squatting right before him and outstretching his right hand.
Looking at Johnie right in the eye, Gerald then said, “Well, as you’ve promised, a hundred million dollars for losing, please!”
Upon hearing that, Johnie—who had already closed his eyes, expecting the worst to happen—instantly found himself heaving a sigh of relief… As it turned out, Gerald was particularly trying to teach him a lesson…
Either way, Johnie understood that it was his total defeat, so he simply handed the hundred million dollars over to Gerald. Money would always come and go, so that amount was nothing much to Johnie.
However, though he didn’t particularly care about losing the money, he did care about losing his pride. His dignity as the young master of the Lager family had been shattered, and Johnie simply couldn’t stand that…
Whatever the case was, after taking the money, Gerald then left with Nori, leaving the depressed youth lying on the ground… It truly appeared that Gerald didn’t care about Johnie at all…
After quite a while, Johnie finally got to his feet before slowly limping away…
This… This wasn’t over yet…!
By that point, Gerald and Nori had just found a suitable café to chat in.
The second she sat down, Nori immediately displayed an enthusiastic expression as she asked, “So, why did you come looking for me, Gerald? Could it be that you missed me?”
Raising a slight brow, Gerald wondered if the girl had fallen for him to even ask such a question…
No longer a person who entertained the whims of others, Gerald then stood up before saying, “Very well, then. You can just forget about it. I’ll be taking my leave now, and sorry to have bothered you!”
Seeing that Gerald really was getting ready to leave, Nori instantly started to panic. If Gerald really left now, then all her previous actions would’ve been meaningless!!
Gerald, for one, was well aware that Nori wasn’t really angry with him. She was simply pretending to pout so that he would care a bit more about her. Unfortunately for her, Gerald was no bootlicker, so he wasn’t about to fall for her bait anytime soon.
“Fine, fine! I won’t tease you anymore! You really are an insensitive person, you know?” grumbled Nori as she quickly pulled him back to his seat.
Hearing that, Gerald obliged before turning to look at Nori, keenly awaiting her answer.
