The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 468
Upon hearing the claim, Gerald's father immediately coughed loudly.
“You... You bastard! What nonsense are you spouting? Know that my relationship with both of them is not what you imagined! Ignoring that, your Aunt Leia is part of the Jung family as well, and they really need your help right now. Help them if you can. Think of it as if you helped me pay 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 the phone.
Gerald held onto his phone, freezing for some time before finally regaining consciousness.
…What?
Gerald was tempted to call his mother at the time to tell her about all this. After all, he had helped his father lie to him and he couldn't help but feel guilty about it.
After thinking about it, he sighed. He would trust his father for now.
Rubbing his forehead, he looked at his phone and saw that it was only 17:30
While scratching the back of his head, he sighed again. So that's. After losing her appetite, she leaves her room and starts driving to the Jung family home.
Upon arriving there, Gerald saw that many people were already there.
Inside the house, Uncle Jung was lying on his couch. He shed tears and felt faint because of all the things that happened to him. As he had to take charge of the event and was even dismissed from his position at Weston Merchants Holdings, a wave of anxiety suddenly hit like a truck, causing him to feel ill.
Accompanying him, there were some guests who occasionally chatted with the man.
“This will be fine, Willie. There is no point crying over spilled milk. Since the impact of the accident was so sudden and huge, the regional leaders might have just fired you out of anger! Who knows, they might even return you after a state of calm!”
“He's right you know. After all, Leia works at the bank now, right? There should be no problem for you, financially!”
“Thank you, Lucas, Zayne.. Why don't you stay for dinner tonight?” willie replied weakly.
“Ah, no need for that. We just came to visit you. We'll be leaving soon!” they both said while standing.
“Lucas, Zayne, is there nothing else you can do to help Willie? You both have some good connections if I remember correctly. There must be a way to help him further!”
Hearing that, both of them just shook their heads. They have done what they can and the people who saw their reaction understood.
“Don't worry, Aunt Leia. I talked to my father about Uncle Jung's situation before coming here today.” Douglas said.
Hearing this, both Willie and Leia turned their heads towards him.
Douglas could not help but think of himself. They all looked at him expectantly, knowing that he would be able to help them when they were at their lowest.
“So... how did your father respond?” willie asked as she continued to stare at Douglas.
“He said that the situation is not too serious. The only reason it sounds so bad is because you made a mountain out of a rat's nest. After all, you shouldn't be the one to shoulder all of these responsibilities from the very beginning! ”
"My father added that as long as you can recruit new developers to fill vacancies and reach a settlement with injured workers, everything else should be resolved easily" Douglas replied with a smile.
To make things easier, he just needs to find new funds to take over and support the development of the project.
“But this is already a messy project! Worst comes to worst, we may even have to destroy the real estate that has been built! I don't understand why anyone would take on this kind of real estate or project after hearing about this disaster. What's more, the county will be responsible for a portion of the compensation fund. How could our country have that kind of money? We really can't afford it!” willie said as she shook her head slowly.
He had considered that approach before.
Dong ding!
At that moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Thinking it would just be one of his other comrades or maybe even a leader who came to visit him, he told Leila to help him wake up. "thank you. Please welcome our guest, Leia!”
His wife simply nodded before heading for the door. When she opened it, Leila was shocked.
"Gerald?"
'Why... Why is he here?' Leia was unwilling to think to herself, disappointed.
Hearing her 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 be a leader or colleague who would be able to help with this situation. The gap between his expectations and knowing that it was just Gerald was too wide.
