Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 559

"You know, tomorrow's my birthday and I won't be celebrating it at home this time. I've already booked a hotel for it. Will any of you have the time to attend?" asked Gerald.

In the previous years, Mr. and Mrs. Winters had always been the ones celebrating Gerald's birthday with him. This year would be no exception.

However, since everyone was already here, Gerald naturally felt obligated to invite all of them over to his birthday banquet as well.

The third sister-in-law coughed before saying, "As if we'd have the time to go there. Francis and the rest will be working tomorrow. We don't have time to celebrate your birthday with you."

"That's right. What more, if you're celebrating your birthday, shouldn't you just be eating at home? Why did you have to book a hotel? Have you forgotten your roots just because you have some money now?" said the second sister-in-law coldly.

Since Gerald was initially very poor, everyone was used to looking down on him. The fact that he suddenly became rich from winning the lottery caused the power dynamic to flip, resulting in their increased dissatisfaction. This was the main reason why they were speaking to him even more coldly compared to how they used to.

"Well, it seems that we're all busy. Looks like you'll have to celebrate your birthday alone!" said the eldest son next.

Just as his sentence ended, his phone began ringing.

"Hello? Mr. Walts! How are you? What's that? Congratulations! Oh, I'll definitely be coming with my family the day after tomorrow! No, no, I'm free! I'll definitely be free once I'm done with everything that I need to finish tomorrow! Haha!"

After that, the eldest son hung up. He looked somewhat excited.

"What's the matter?" asked the eldest sister-in-law.

"It's Mr. Walts's son's eighth birthday the day after tomorrow. We've been invited to attend his birthday celebration so of course I agreed!"

"Hmm? Didn't you say that you had an important chamber of commerce meeting to attend on that day?"

"Humph! Mr. Walts's son's birthday has a higher priority! I'll just cancel my participation in the chamber of commerce meeting!" lamented the eldest Son.

"Uncle, second uncle, I think we should start eating now. I still have a lot of important things to do tomorrow. I need to get back and rest as soon as possible! Actually no, I still have to make some plans once I get home since I'll be meeting up with Mr. Jung tomorrow!" said Francis.

Naturally, he too would be busy tomorrow.

"Isn't Mr. Jung already here? I said that I'd treat him to dinner tonight. Just ignore the fact that he's only a department chief now. After all, since he was a pretty reputable figure in the past, he still has several relationships and connections in Serene County!" replied the third son in a prideful tone.

"It's really a pity that he wasn't free tonight. It seems that his schedule is already fully packed!"

As everyone began to chime in one after another, Gerald simply listened. He could only conclude that the Mr. Jung they were talking about was most definitely Willie.

However, he remained silent.

Since everyone said that they wouldn't be free tomorrow, Gerald didn't try to insist for them to attend his birthday celebration anymore.

Not that it mattered to him. Everyone had their own things to do.

After eating a simple meal at Mr. Winters's house, Gerald went back home.

Not too long after, he received a call from Mila.

"Happy birthday, Gerald!" shouted Mila.

"It's not my birthday yet, why are you wishing me happy birthday so soon?!" said Gerald before laughing as he lay on his bed.

"What's stopping me from wishing you twice? I'll wish you happy birthday again at midnight! Not like I can take back my earlier wish anyway. By the way, Gerald, could you come over to look for me in two days' time? Once you're done settling your own matters of course. I'm at the television station now. I've just transferred to become an intern reporter today. I can finally do something that I've always wanted to do now!" said Mila happily.

Mila had told Gerald about this some time ago. She would take an examination to apply to become an intern reporter.

She managed to pass and she was now officially an intern reporter. Gerald was equally happy for her.

"Sure thing! I'll come look for you in two days' time. We'll have a big celebration together for you then!" replied Gerald as he smiled.

"Alright! Ah, do note that that date may not be fixed. I may have a short holiday in a few days' time so we may need to discuss it again then. Speaking of celebrations, how do you plan to celebrate your birthday tomorrow?"

After the two talked about his birthday plans for a short while, Mila eventually said that she needed to take a bath, so they both ended the call.

Just as Gerald was about to put his phone down, his phone started ringing again.
