Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 340
Fortunately, the manager managed to stop Hayward before he could continue attacking Murphy. A few good-
natured people helped Murphy to get on his feet before calling for an ambulance.
“F*ck! Why are you here too, Gerald?”
Lilian finally saw Gerald who had been standing at the side.
“Don’t even mention his name anymore! If it wasn’t for that pathetic jerk I wouldn’t have broken the seven
thousand and five hundred dollar hetian jade bracelet and the thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet!”
replied Sharon with a look of disgust on her face.
“…Come again? More than thirty thousand dollars…”
Harvey was dumbfounded. Through the phone, Sharon had only said that she had met with an accident at the
Trinity Jewelers shop. She hadn’t mentioned anything about the compensation or the outrageous cost.
Naturally, he was speechless for a moment when he heard this. The same went for Lilian.
Due to her nervousness, Lilian began scolding Gerald.
“So what if Sharon got beaten up? What’s that got to do with you? Did you think you needed to step in to stop the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfight? Who do you even think you are? D*mn it! So what’re you going to do about this? Aren’t you going to pay for
the compensation?!”
Lilian pointed toward Gerald as she continued to curse at him.
“I can’t believe that you think you’re that remarkable just because you bought two cell phones! Disgusting!”
“Oh Lilian, just leave him be. Hayward, can both of you please help me figure out what I should do to gather that
much money?”
Gerald wasn’t even prepared for the verbal attack from Lilian.
He was stunned to a point where he didn’t even know how to refute them.
He was upset beyond compare. It had only been three years since they had lost contact with each other but during
that time, any of Sharon’s lingering feelings seemed to have evaporated completely!
“It’s out! The appraisal results are out!” shouted the salesgirl.
She ran over excitedly this time.
Hayward, Sharon, and the others stared at her, anticipating her announcement with eyes wide open.
“Fortunately, the dragon jade bracelet isn’t damaged. Therefore, you only need to pay the compensation for the
hetian jade bracelet, which is only seven thousand and five hundred dollars!” explained the salesgirl.
“Oh, thank god!”
When Sharon heard this, she nearly fainted. The enormous weight on her shoulders had been lifted and so had
most of her anxiety.
However, another problem remained.
Seven thousand and five hundred dollars was by no means a small amount. What could she do to gather all that
money?
“Hayward, Lilian, how much money do you have? You’ve got to help me out!”
Sharon felt like crying again.
“I have about four thousand and five hundred dollars with me at the moment. How about you, Lilian?”
“Only seven hundred and fifty,” she replied.
“I have about seven hundred and fifty too, but adding everything together we’ll have about six thousand dollars. I’m
still short of a thousand and five hundred dollars!” said Sharon as she jumped anxiously.
“Don’t worry just yet, I’ll call my dad first. I’ll just ask him to transfer that amount over!”
Hayward could feel his wallet lighten as he considered how much money he would be spending. However, he would
definitely lose face if he said that he didn’t have any money in front of so many people.
The three of them waited anxiously at the side of the shop as Hayward made his phone call.
“Dad? I need a thousand and five hundred dollars. It’s important. You’ll be receiving a second batch of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcompensation money in a few days, right? I really need the money now, okay? Okay!”
Hayward hung up the phone and a few seconds later, he heard his WeChat notification sound.
The money had successfully been transferred over.
“Alright! We have enough money now!” said Hayward with a smile on his face.
At that moment, Sharon was filled with admiration toward Hayward. She felt that as long as he was there, she
would always be safe and secure.
She affirmed to herself that she would definitely marry him one day.
Lilian on the other hand, felt slightly uneasy watching Hayward spend six thousand dollars on Sharon.
Her jealousy was warranted as who wouldn’t feel that way around such an outstanding man.
“Speaking of which boss, could you give me the broken jade bracelet? After some repairs, it could possibly still be
worn!” said Hayward to the manager.
“Ah… Sure, why not?” The manager then shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
Hayward and the others then took the broken jade bracelet out of its box and inspected it to see if it could still be
repaired.
While this was happening, the salesgirl reappeared again, this time with two, new, beautifully wrapped boxes.
“I apologize for making you wait so long, Mr. Crawford. Both of the jade bracelets have been packed nicely now!”
said the salesgirl respectfully while she passed the boxes to Gerald.
“Thank you,” replied Gerald as he nodded and took the boxes from her hands.
