The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 17

think, 'Damn. Don't tell me Alice will be there today?'

Chapter 17

Gerald could not describe his feelings for Alice.

Alice is really beautiful, and elegant.

However, Gerald really could not tolerate his attitude because he was not only very rude and arrogant but he also looked down on those who were poor.

Gerald did not understand what Naomi was thinking. How could he possibly have set her up with Alice?

Therefore, Gerald really did not want to join them for lunch before he did not want the situation to be awkward.

However, he could not refuse Harper's heartfelt invitation because he did not want to disappoint his brothers.

The place they decided to have lunch was a western restaurant called Bludhaven.

Naturally, Harper is unable to host a lunch at any five-star hotel unlike second-generation rich kids like Danny or Yuri.

The six girls from Alice's dorm showed up for lunch today.

In addition, six people from Gerald's dorm also came with Naomi.

However, since Gerald wasn't with the other boys in the dorm, he didn't go to the luncheon with Harper and the other boys.

“In my opinion, Naomi, we only need five boys from Harper's dorm, you, and the six of us from my dorm to come to lunch! Getting the twelve of us to eat together was already good enough! ” Alice said as she sat in her chair while drinking her juice.

The meaning behind his words was clear by itself.

In fact, Alice had a good impression of Harper and she felt that he was also a very stable and mature man.

However, Harper's parents were just ordinary people who became teachers in high school. Therefore, she naturally did not meet Alice's standards.

“Yes, I agree with Alice. Why would Gerald have to join us for lunch today? As soon as I saw him, I started thinking about everything he had done last night! It's so annoying!” Hayley also said in a joking manner at this moment.

"OK okay. Alice, Hayley, please stop hating Gerald. Did you know that she is actually a very good person if you give her a chance and get to know her better?” Naomi answered with a smile.

“Ya, Gerald is really a very good man..” said Harper soon after.

“Well, if he was really a good person, he wouldn't make the two of us sit here just to wait for him alone, would he? Don't you think I'm right, Hayley?” Alice said while grunting coldly.

"Oh look! Gerald's here!"

At this moment, Naomi stood up excitedly as she waved at Gerald, gesturing for him to come and join them at the table.

“I'm sorry for being late. I had to go back to the dorm to make an important phone call. There's something I have to deal with.”

Gerald said with a smile to Naomi.

Naomi was sitting right across from Alice at the moment.

His eyes wandered for a moment before he stood up and pulled Gerald into his chair and said, "Gerald, sit here!"

Gerald knew what Naomi was trying to do.

He just sat down without thinking too much about it.

“Jacelyn! Let's switch seats!”

Unexpectedly, Alice had a cold expression on her face as she asked one of her girlfriends to swap seats with her as soon as Gerald sat in front of her.

“Sorry, Alice! I'm not going to switch seats with you. If I sit across from that poor fellow, I'm afraid that the one who doesn't know the truth will misunderstand and think he's my girlfriend!”

"Why? Wouldn't you be happy if Gerald was your girlfriend? He can buy you a Hermes bag for fifty-five thousand dollars! Ha ha ha!"

“Yes, yes, Jacelyn! You must seize this opportunity that was given to you! ”

Jacelyn Leigh is a very beautiful girl who is very interested in fashion and makeup.

Since he also came from a wealthy family, he naturally hated Gerald as well.

When Jacelyn heard her roommate making fun of her, she quickly replied, "If you think Gerald is so good, then you should ask him to be your girlfriend!"

“Ah! I surrendered. I give up."

The beautiful girls stopped joking as soon as they heard his words.

They are obviously very sensitive to the fact that Gerald might actually end up being their girlfriend and they would definitely be ridiculed then!

Harper and Benjamin were both slightly upset when they heard the girls' conversation. However, they could only endure it silently.

Afterwards, Gerald decided not to sit down with Alice.

“Naomi, come and sit here. I'll sit next to it!”

Gerald could not help but laugh as he was treated like a plague in the eyes of all these beautiful girls.

Even though he was a second generation rich kid like everyone else, the treatment he received from all the beautiful girls was completely different.

Gerald had so many assets to his name, but why was he disliked by these beautiful girls?

Gerald thought of using the money to win these girls over, but he was unable to force himself to do so

Uh!

Gerald decided to just step aside.

Naomi is eager to correct and dispel the misunderstanding between Alice and Gerald because she truly feels that they will be a good couple.

Moreover, the two are her best friends!

At this moment, the voice of a man suddenly sounded.

A tall and handsome boy wearing branded clothes from head to toe approached their table and he looked at Alice with a surprised expression in his eyes.

"Are you Quinton Ziegler?"

Alice was also stunned. She touched her hair before she stood up with a sweet and pleasant smile on her face.

“Yes, Alice. I've not seen you for over two years and you really look more and more beautiful. I can barely recognize you,” replied Quinton with a smile.

“By the way, Quinton, didn't your father send you abroad to study? When are you coming home?”

“I came back two days ago and I just asked for your contact information! By the way, did you manage to resolve the incident you experienced at Emperor Karaoke Bar? Our High School classmate, Desmond, called me and told me that you are having problems there!” Quinton said with a worried look on his face.

At this moment, Alice closed her mouth in surprise.

Alice's roommate also suddenly realized.

“Ah! Quinton, were you the one who helped us solve the problem last night?”

Alice was surprised.

Actually, Quinton was eager to help Alice last night and he even asked his father to call the manager of the karaoke bar, Flynn.

However, Flynn did not pick up the phone.

When Quinton heard Alice ask him if he was the one who resolved this matter on their behalf, he did not think too much about it.

Instead, he simply nodded as he said, "Well, I asked my father to help me deal with it."

Alice felt very proud and excited at this moment.

Women have always been the most proud and arrogant people!

At this moment, Alice felt as if all her doubts had disappeared. It turned out that the person who helped them solve the problem wasn't Nigel or whoever they called last night. Instead, his childhood friend, Quinton, turns out to be the one who was able to appease Brother Flynn and asks him to free them from losses.

Alice used to be very close to Quinton in the past because of the friendship between their father.

However, as the Quinton family business grew larger, his father decided to send him abroad to continue his studies.

Naturally, the two of them were no longer in contact after he left.

Unexpectedly, Quinton had actually helped her so much once she returned to the country.

Moreover, Alice had no doubt that the Ziegler family would definitely be able to deal with someone like Flynn.

"Quinton, thank you so much for what you did for me!"

Alice was really very happy and grateful.

When Gerald saw how grateful Alice was to Quinton, he inevitably felt a little uneasy.

He had just gotten rid of Nigel but the fruits of his victory were now stolen by this man named Quinton.

Gerald really wanted to tell them that he was the one who helped them solve the problem last night. He was the one who got them out of the situation!

However, she knew that Alice would only hate and hate her more if she spoke now.

Therefore, Gerald decided to stay silent because he did not want to get into another fight with Alice.

He thought he should let her go.

“I'm here to attend a birthday party hosted by one of my High School friends. Birthday party held upstairs. Alice, I'm going downstairs and have a chat with you again after a toast to my friend! You can also introduce your friends to me later! ”

After which, Quinton smiled and bowed slightly as he looked at all the beautiful girls before he excused himself like a gentleman.

"Wow! He is really very handsome!”

"Alice, how do you know her?

"Alice, does she have a boyfriend?"

Jacelyn and the other girls were very curious at this moment.

Alice proudly replied, “Quinton is a very amazing man! Do you know the Southern Food Industry? It's his family's business and they're tycoons in the food industry!”

"Wow! The Southern Food Industries is a public company and is rated as one of the top companies in Mayberry City! It was really amazing.”

All the girls started discussing this matter amongst themselves.

“Didn't the news mention that the Southern Food Industry is currently facing capital and financial problems?”

Gerald silently listened to their conversation but when he heard their conversation, he wanted to contribute to the topic.

As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere around the table turned cold in a matter of seconds.

At this moment, Alice glared at Gerald with an angry expression on her face.

"How's what? Don't big businesses and industries face capital and financial problems? Why are you so jealous?”

“Some people are like this. They are jealous and envious of others and they take advantage of every opportunity to target their weaknesses and shortcomings to bring them down. Such people are truly disgusting! ” Jacelyn replied in a disdainful manner.

Gerald's punishment almost started the war…

“Alice!”

Fortunately, Quinton and one of his classmates started going down the stairs at this time…
