The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 22
Is over. The oil painting is completely destroyed.
One hundred and fifty thousand dollars!
Everyone could not help but swallow their saliva at this moment.
Only Quinton and Harold were laughing in their hearts at the moment. Inevitably they wondered how Gerald would be able to afford an oil painting worth a hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Even if the manager of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment owed him a favor, he would never be able to explain himself in regards to that oil painting.
Hehe!
“Gerald, why don't we go now? Anyway, we are almost done with the food, ” Naomi said carefully at this time.
If they continued to stay here for another second, Gerald would never be able to pay for that oil painting!
"Oh! Things don't look good. Looks like someone will come now! ”
Jacelyn pointed to the stairs at this time and Gerald also looked in the same direction. At this moment, Zack was walking towards them with a few servants and a bottle of good wine in their hands.
He came to give them a toast.
Gerald felt very helpless. He had already told Zack that he did not want to reveal his identity for now. Why did he still come here to make a toast?
Zack arrived a short time later.
Quinton also naturally knew who Zack was.
“Lyle. Lilies!”
Quinton quickly greeted him.
Unexpectedly, the manager Gerald was talking about turned out to be one of the richest men in Mayberry City, Zack Lyle!
Alice was very surprised at this moment and she did not dare to speak at all.
Success to Gerald!
As soon as he arrived, Zack slightly nodded towards the crowd.
Afterwards, he looked at Gerald before he greeted him respectfully, “Master. Ger...”
Just as he was about to greet her, Zack suddenly remembered that Gerald had already told him that he did not want his identity to be revealed.
Zack said: "Brother Gerald, are you satisfied with the arrangements I made for you today?"
Gerald smiled as he nodded.
At this moment, Quinton suddenly spoke up and said, "But Mr. Lyle, Gerald just ruined your oil painting by dropping it into the water!"
“Yes, Mr Lyle! Even though we told him not to do it, Gerald took down the oil painting and he dropped it into the water!” Jacelyn quickly chimed in because she was unwilling to assume responsibility for the oil painting.
Meanwhile, Naomi quickly defends Gerald. "Trs. Lyle, Gerald didn't mean to!”
At this time, Harper also defends Gerald and he asks Zack what they can do to avenge Zack's oil painting.
Zack immediately understood the situation that was happening before him.
It doesn't seem like everyone here is Gerald's true friend and Zack knows that Gerald hasn't revealed his identity to anyone.
He also knew that Gerald was a very quiet and reserved person. It seemed like he did not want to brag about the fact that he was actually very rich and powerful.
What's more, Zack isn't stupid and he clearly remembers Gerald's reminders of him. As such, he would do nothing to cause the crowd to be suspicious about Gerald's identity.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense and Naomi asked anxiously, “Pak. Lyle, we are really sorry about that oil painting!”
“Brother Gerald, did you know that oil painting costs more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars? Moreover, my boss is very fond of this oil painting. Tell me, what should I do if my boss asks about this painting?” Zack asked as he looked at Gerald.
Gerald knew that Zack wanted to give him a way out of the matter without revealing his identity or the fact that he was indeed the true owner of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. That was the reason why he could only react like this, though,
Hehehe.Zack is quite an interesting person.
Gerald had a very sorry expression on his face as he said, “Master. Lyle, I really didn't expect this to happen, but I can tell you that it's not entirely my fault.”
"It's not your fault?" Zack asked while frowning.
Jacelyn, who was standing at the side, thought that Gerald wanted to blame her. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Gerald, this is your fault! The oil painting falls into the water as it comes out of your hands! You should not try and blame others for your own mistakes!”
"Just right! If you have done something wrong, you must have the courage to go forward and admit your mistakes. Otherwise, how can you call yourself a Man?
The girls are all very insulting at this moment.
“I think Gerald is just afraid he has to pay a hundred thousand dollars out of his own pocket. That must be the reason he tried to get rid of the blame from himself,” Harold quickly said because he was still jealous of Gerald.
Not only did Gerald prove that he was better than Quinton or Harold, but he also made them very envious and envious of him.
Gerald smiled before saying, “Master. Lyle, I admit that I was the one who first took down the oil painting. The reason why I say it is not entirely my fault or responsibility, because there was a gust of wind when I tried to restore the oil painting and it blew the oil painting away.”
"Gerald, you're really ridiculous!"
The crowd couldn't help but feel disgusted at this moment.
Quinton said, “Gerald, are you seriously trying to blame the gust of wind? Don't you think you're trying too hard? ”
Zack seemed to think hard about what Gerald had just said.
After a while, he finally patted his forehead and said, “Brother Gerald, thank you for explaining the situation to me. So is that really what happened? I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. I guess we can only blame a gust of wind for blowing the oil painting and causing it to fall into the water. I don't think it's your fault at all!”
“Yes, you should not hang oil painting here. Very dangerous if the wind is strong,” replied Gerald in a hurry.
“Yes, yes, Brother Gerald. Thanks for the reminder. I will ask my staff to handle this matter. I guess it was our fault for putting this oil painting here in the first place. ”
Whahuh?
Everyone was shocked by Zack's reaction. Is Zack convinced just because of a few words from Gerald?
Quinton felt something stuck in his throat at this moment. She felt very uncomfortable, while Alice and the other girls felt even more uncomfortable.
“Yeah, then, I'd like to thank you for your hospitality today, Mr. Lyle. If you're okay, we want to go home now. ”
Gerald smiled. He thought that the way Zack cooperated with him in regards to this situation was indeed very funny.
After leaving Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, all of them could not help but look at Gerald in a daze. This was especially true of Alice, who felt that everything was too unreal and she could not understand Gerald at all.
“Gerald, you are absolutely amazing! I can't believe that you actually managed to persuade Mr. Lyle with just a few words when he seemed to care so much about that oil painting!”
Naomi could not help but admire Gerald after leaving the manor.
Alice was listening at this moment as well.
He felt very doubtful about the whole situation. Are things really as simple as they seem?
