Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 381

"Sir Herring Jenkins is the head of the county. Who on earth could make him wait at the bus station?"

Montana could not mask her surprise.

Was it that rich dude from the city?

No way. Why would someone as rich as him come here by bus?

"Wait here; I'll go say hi!"

Montana's boyfriend straightened his suit and tidied up his hair.

He was ready to go over.

"But Jonathan, will this work? Will Mr. Jenkins pay any attention to you?"

Montana couldn't help but worry.

“།

guess so. After all, he knows my dad too, and I've had dinner with him twice."

Jonathan reassured Montana and headed over to the other side.

Montana, however, didn't dare go with him. The other side was filled with big shots, and several heads of the Ministry of Education were also present.

As a fellow staff member, of course, Montana didn't possess the courage to approach them.

As for Jonathan, he went and came back quickly.

While there, he looked very proud, thinking that he had a chance to stand out among the crowd if he just greeted everyone.

But when he came back, he was dejected and his face the color of an eggplant.

"Huh? What happened, Jonathan? Did the mayor ignore you? Ugh, I told you so didn't I? better not go over where all the big shots are!"

"Mmhmm, it seems like the mayor and the others are indeed waiting for someone's arrival, someone important. I heard them talking about a Mr. Crawford, the one about to bring a massive change to the entire Serene Town! He's a big boss, but something isn't right. If it really is Mr. Crawford, why would he come here by bus?"

Jonathan was confused.

"Hmm, the mayor probably did not tell you the truth. Let's go now. The few heads from the Ministry of Education are also there," said Montana in a hurry.

Jonathan simply nodded.

He hoped that Mr. Crawford could speed up his journey as well.

Gerald had been following from behind and heard them mentioning his name. Could they have come here to pick him up, he thought to himself.

But he had already told Zack Lyle not to turn his arrival into some grand event. He simply wanted to return home and get his own stuff sorted out, and he wanted to stay out of it.

Right now, though, it was a bad time for Gerald to go over and ask them.

He pretended that nothing happened.

His hands were full of Montana and Jonathan's luggage. Her driver stopped in front of them as soon as they exited the Station.

"The heat is killing me! Jon, get the luggage inside, and let's leave!"

Montana rudely snapped at the driver.

After putting their luggage inside, Jonathan and Montana got into the car, and the driver drove away.

Gerald was left alone at the station with his luggage on the side, looking like an idiot.

He might be just a servant, but the least they could do was to greet him, right?

Inside the car, Jonathan looked at the rear-view mirror and saw Gerald, now standing stupidly at their pickup spot. He felt a little sorry for him. "Montana, I forgot to greet that classmate of yours. We should've at least asked where he was heading and perhaps give him a lift, right?" "Forget about him. We're not giving him a lift. He's just pathetic, and we're not going to risk soiling our car because of him!" "Alright then."

Cursing Montana under his breath, Gerald decided to call home and prepared to leave.

On the way back, he remembered to give Mr. Winters a call.

He wanted to tell them not to make him any food as he would take away something on the way back.

The phone back home rang for quite a while, yet no one picked up.

He called three times until someone finally picked up the phone. A faint, weak voice came on the other side of the line.

"Hello? May I know who you are looking for?"

"Mrs. Winters, it's Gerald here. May I know where Mr. Winters is?"

"Oh, Gerald? You're back for your break, huh?"

Mrs. Winters sounded a little surprised.

Back when they were kids, Jessica and Gerald were both raised by Mr. and Mrs. Winters.

It was why the siblings had an incredibly deep affection for the old couple, treating them as their own grandparents.

In the past few years, Jessica was the first to rise to the top. Since Gerald still had to support his poor self, he could not provide Mr. and Mrs. Winters a comfortable life. The only thing he could do was give them financial aid discreetly.

So basically, Mr. Winters and his family still retained their original lives.

After Jessica received news that Gerald was about to have a break, the first thing she thought of was helping Mr. Winters and his family settle down.

Gerald would never forget about him.
