The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 18

“Alice, you look like you're in a bad mood. Is something wrong?" Quinton asked as he walked down the stairs with his hands in his pockets.

Quinton felt his heart slightly moved when he saw Alice, who looked prettier than two years ago.

"I'm doing fine. I'm just a little disgusted with some people!”

Alice then glanced at Gerald with a cold expression on her face.

"Just right! How can you say nonsense without knowing your own place?

Jacelyn and the other girls also seem to hate Gerald. They all glared at Gerald with a sharp expression on his face.

Quinton looked at Gerald.

When she came to the restaurant early, she seemed to realize that Alice was already unhappy with Gerald.

However, after descending the stairs, Alice looks increasingly displeased and unhappy with Gerald.

Is it possible..this child has an ambiguous relationship with Alice?

No, that's impossible!

Quinton found out as soon as he saw Gerald's clothes.

The total price of all her clothes was no more than thirty dollars! How could Alice be in such an ambiguous relationship with someone like him?

“Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? Why don't you just talk about it? You are all classmates so you should try to get along well with each other!”

Quinton smiled but his eyes were focused on Gerald at this moment.

"Hello friend. My name is Quinton. It's good to see you."

Afterwards, Quinton reached out his hand to shake hands with Gerald, revealing the golden Rolex watch in his hand.

The golden Rolex watch looked amazing at first glance and all the girls looked at it with admiration on their faces.

Gerald can soon find out that Quinton is insincere and he instead has malicious intentions.

Just as he was about to shake hands with Gerald, Quinton suddenly asked with a surprised expression on his face, “Wow! Dude, what kind of T-shirt are you from? I've never seen this brand before. Do you think it's because I just came back from abroad?

Quinton looked at Gerald as he made a gaped expression on his face and his lips curved slightly as he grinned at Gerald.

Quinton wants to impress Alice and she knows that Alice has a very bad relationship with Gerald. So, he might as well defeat this child with a few words.

“It's just a regular brand.”

Gerald had no intention of arguing with Quinton.

He can't be bothered with a guy like Quinton.

To be honest, Gerald had already planned to buy clothes using the Universal Global Supreme Shopper Card that his sister had given him. However, he felt that the minimum consumption of fifty thousand dollars was a bit too extravagant!

“Oh. Is it really from a regular brand? By the way, Harold, have you seen this brand before because you have always been in this country?”

Quinton turned to look at his classmates.

The man named Harold was blond and he was busy looking at all the beautiful girls, from Alice to Hayley to Jacelyn.

Harold immediately knew what Quinton meant when he asked the question.

After which, Harold shook his head before he smiled and said, “No, I have never seen this brand before. Do you want me to search it on the internet?”

The two continued their discussion seriously.

In fact, everyone knows that they're just trying to taunt Gerald.

However, Gerald did not look embarrassed at all.

At this moment, Alice and the other girls had satisfied expressions on their faces as they looked towards Gerald.

"Ha ha ha! Serving him right out of jealousy for Quinton! Now we can see others mocking him for being poor!” jacelyn said with a laugh.

“However, Quinton has just returned to the country after studying abroad. How can Gerald compare to him?” Alice also said in a low voice.

Alice clearly knew that Quinton was taunting and making Gerald difficult because of him. However, he did it indirectly compared to Danny.

He implied it without accusing Gerald.

This made Alice very happy because she felt that Quinton was a very intelligent person.

"Quinton, let me introduce you to my friends!"

After glancing at Gerald, Alice quickly introduced Quinton to everyone around the table.

Afterwards, Quinton also introduced Harold to Alice and her friends. The Harold family owned one of the largest training academies in Mayberry City.

The two sat at a table and Quinton naturally sat across from Alice.

On the other hand, Harold seemed to be very interested in Jacelyn and Hayley.

The girls continued to stare at Quinton and Harold as they continued to chat. The original theme of today's lunch should have been the development of the relationship between Harper and Hayley.

Unfortunately, Quinton's presence suddenly changes everything and this makes Harper feel a little unhappy.

Gerald also knew that Harper was a little upset.

He couldn't just ignore this and see his brother being ignored.

Fortunately, Gerald was prepared for a situation like this.

Before leaving the dorm, Gerald had already made a phone call to Zack, the manager of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. She tells him that she wants to bring some friends there today and he asks Zack to make the necessary arrangements for her.

He didn't want Harper to lose face in front of Hayley today!

When Harold learns that Harper has invited Hayley to lunch today, he starts asking Harper all sorts of questions.

He kept asking Harper about his family background and his parents' work. In other words, he indirectly asked Harper if he was rich.

Gerald really wanted to bring up the fact that he had arranged for the group to go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment after lunch.

At this moment, Quinton suddenly said, “By the way, I heard something when I returned to this country. I heard that the Fisher family went bankrupt and they lost the Grand Marshall Restaurant they used to own on Mayberry Commercial Street! My father used to be friends with Nigel's father, Adam Fisher. I tried to get him to buy Grand Marshall Restaurant! ”

Alice's eyelids twitched slightly at this moment.

Of course, they knew everything that happened to Nigel and the Fisher family.

This was because Nigel was right beside them when everything was revealed!

When the girls heard that Quinton was planning to take over the Grand Marshall Restaurant, they couldn't help but feel very excited. They quickly decided to be best friends with Quinton.

Alice nodded slightly before she said. “Yes, we know about what happened to Nigel and his family. We heard that he offended a very influential person in Mayberry City and that was the reason why his entire family business went bankrupt overnight! The Fisher family had always relied on the profits they had earned from the Grand Marshall Restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street, so I really wonder what they will do now that they are forced to immediately withdraw their shares.”

Quinton watched with satisfaction as all the girls looked at him with admiration in their eyes. He really enjoyed that attention.

He nodded before saying, “Well, my father agrees with me and he wants to take over the restaurant as well. After all, everyone knows the commercial value of any business or store on Mayberry Commercial Street. Just to be able to open a business there, definitely make money like running water! My father also mentioned that there is a very magnificent and luxurious house there with a hot spring in it!”

“Holiday Mount Wayfair!”

Everyone was very happy when they heard the mention of the manor with the hot spring.

Quinton nodded and smiled before saying, "Have any of you been there before?"

When Quinton asked this question, Alice suddenly recalled how embarrassed they had been the night before.

However, he did not want to hide the truth from Quinton.

Therefore, he quickly informed her of everything that had happened.

After listening to his explanation, Quinton smiled before saying, “Well, I really didn't expect Nigel to make himself so stupid. Alice, since you did not manage to go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment last time, I can take you there today! I just need to call my dad.”

“Ah! To serious? You're the best, Brother Quinton!” Jacelyn said in a charming way.

“Of course I'm serious. Give me a minute. I'll call my dad now.” Afterwards, Quinton pulled out his phone before he called his father.

After explaining the situation to his father, Quinton immediately hung up the phone.

“Should we head there now? I'm afraid they'll have more guests in the afternoon. If the place is crowded, there's nothing my father can do for us then. ”

"okay! Sure did!"

All the girls were more than willing to leave at this moment.

“Alright then, I'll go and take the car with Harold. We will leave with two cars.” Quinton said as he prepared to leave and took the car with Harold.

"But Quinton, there are seven girls so two cars are enough for us..but what about them?" Alice asked as she pointed at Harper and the other boys.

Quinton looked at Harper before he asked, "Are you not driving here?"

Harper shook his head and he felt extremely embarrassed at this moment.

"Forget over. We will not join you.”

Naomi felt very uncomfortable being stuck in the middle. Therefore, he said, "Well, if they don't go, then I don't want to go either!"

Gerald doesn't want Naomi to be put in a tough spot every time. He knew that he really wanted to go and see Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.

Therefore, he quickly said, “Naomi, you can continue with the others first. We'll join you later. After all, we have already ordered a table full of dishes!”

In fact, Gerald deliberately said those words and he was targeting Alice and Hayley at the moment.

After all, Harper bought them lunch today and he had already ordered a table full of dishes but they left without taking a single bite. Gerald felt as if they were not taking Harper seriously.

Being a sensitive person like her, Alice could instantly hear the insulting tone in her voice the moment she heard her words. He quickly replied, “You will come and join us later? Do you really think you can enter Wayfair Mountain Entertainment without Quinton? Besides, why are you so sarcastic? It's just a table full of plates. Do you want me to pay for the food, then? ”

Harper waved his hand hurriedly before he said, “No, no, you guys can go first. See you soon, Hayley!”

Harper glanced at Hayley. He really hoped that he would be able to see her later, but he knew that Alice was right. How could they possibly enter Wayfair Mountain Entertainment later?

Afterwards, Alice and the other girls left with Quinton and Harold. Harper was just happy that the situation did not end awkwardly like last night.

However, after the girls left, Harper felt as if she no longer had any appetite.

He was feeling very desperate at this moment.

“Harper, don't feel hopeless. I said that we were going to the manor and I would make sure that we did. Just trust me.”

Gerald comforted Harper while patting her on the shoulder gently.

Harper smiled bitterly before saying, “I know you mean well, Gerald. Forgetit. Let's eat and enjoy the food before we go back to the hostel to sleep after this!”

Gerald knew that Harper only thought that he was stubborn.

He smiled because he knew that he could not be as low as he wanted anymore. This was because he knew that most of the time, Harper and his other roommates were ridiculed and humiliated because of him.

Gerald was also very upset about this situation.

Therefore, Gerald pulled out his phone before calling Zack. “Zack, I'll go to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment with my friends later. If it is convenient for you, can you send two cars here to pick me up?

Zack has a lot of respect on the other end of the phone. “Of course, Mr. Crawford. Anything for you. Can you send me your location? ”

Gerald gave Zack his location over the phone before he immediately hung up.

Harper looked at Gerald in surprise.

“Damn, Gerald! Who did you just call?”
