The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 469
"Uncle Jung, Aunt Leia, I came to visit!" gerald said with a smile on his face as he brought a bag of presents to their home.
Leia simply looked at him without saying anything else as she put down her bag.
Willie himself was on the couch again, looking up at the ceiling without bothering to return Gerald's greeting.
Leila was embarrassed to see Gerald ignored like this because she knew that Gerald might be fine in Mayberry City.
After all, he was the one who sent him to the station the other day with the big Mercedes Benz G500!
To be honest, Leila was a little grateful to Gerald.
However, he did not have time to tell his father about this. By the time Leila came home yesterday, this unfortunate chain of events had already begun.
Even then, his father was already on the verge of collapse due to all the pressure. How could she tell him how much fun he was?
Feeling the awkwardness, Leila walked towards Gerald before putting the bag she was carrying on the table.
“Thank you for coming to visit, Gerald!” leila said with a smile.
Willie only narrowed his eyes at Gerald when he heard his daughter greeting him.
Gerald had nothing to say, so he simply nodded and sat down on one of the sofas. He had anticipated Willie's bad attitude. So, before arriving, he had made sure to fortify his mind psychologically.
“Oh, funding! Where can I get a large amount of money to take over this real estate project! ” said Willie suddenly in a sad tone.
“Uncle Jung, what about Dream Investment Group in Mayberry City? They will invest and spend one and a half billion dollars to develop Serene County. Have you asked for their help in this project?” Douglas asked
“Of course I have. To be honest, I know several managers who work for Dream Investment Group. Even though we used to have a good relationship, I don't think it's appropriate for me to look for them now. After all, which company wants to take on this project again!” willie replied while shaking her head sadly.
“They're the only hope left now, Uncle Jung. In addition, we are talking about the Dream Investment Group. It's just a small amount of money for them! As long as you can get them to take on this project, this problem can be solved easily! My father also told me this!”
Knowing that Willie was clearly relying on him to deal with the matter, Douglas uttered each word with confidence.
“Douglas, you have helped us ask your father to make some effort to deal with our situation.Your aunt Leia, Leila, and I will remember this favor as long as we live!”
“Don't worry, Uncle Jung! My father will definitely try to ask Dream Investment Group to help in this matter!”
Although he said all that, Douglas thought otherwise in his mind.
If I hadn't chased after Leila, I wouldn't even bother wasting my time coming here.
Despite thinking so, Douglas still knew that he had to say all that to save his face.
“Alright then... I feel much more relieved after hearing you say all that.... Douglas, why not stay for dinner tonight? Did you know, all of Leila's friends and classmates were also invited to join! Aunt Leia will prepare dinner for all of you now!” willie said, some colors finally returned to her face.
“Alright, I'll clean up first! But wait! I don't think we have enough vegetables for all of us here! And I can't go to pick it up because I still have to prepare the meat!” leia said worriedly.
At that moment, he saw Gerald drinking a glass of water. He had been sitting quietly on the same sofa ever since he entered.
Suddenly irritated, he said, “Because you are clearly free, why don't you get the ingredients, Gerald? I'll write a list of the items you have to buy and you can go to the supermarket outside the community to pick it up for me!”
"I?" gerald asked, surprised. Wasn't he just treated like a waiter?
Thinking about it, however, it would still be more awkward for him to stay here since he had to continue seeing Willie's disgusted face.
What's more, if he left now, he could call Zack to ask him to take over the real estate project.
In a way, it meant he had fulfilled the task his father had entrusted him with.
Nodding to herself as she woke up, she agreed to Leia's request.
He's kind of happy to be gone, honestly. He was only here because his father kept insisting that he help them!
He doesn't need to be in their good books and he knows it.
"I'm coming with you, Gerald!" leila said as she watched him leave with a list of ingredients and a basket that had been given to her.
“Leila! Can't you tell who's more important? Quickly and pour a glass of water for Douglas!”
After hearing Leila's words, Willie started to get anxious again.
Even Leia could sense that something was amiss.
What happened to their daughter? Ever since Gerald entered, Leila's tone toward him seemed very different compared to the way she spoke to him.
After all, the Crawford family were not good people!
