The Invincible Rich Man (Gerald Crawford)

Chapter 154-155

Chapter 154
“Is he your boyfriend, Elena?”


Upon entering the house, a group of young men and women of about the same age approached them before the adults even spoke a word.


Each one of them sized up Gerald.


It wasn’t long before these people revealed their mind.


‘Wow, Elena is so beautiful, and yet she has such horrible taste? It’s obvious that her boyfriend is far
from it!’


“Elena, we were going to ask you to join us at the cruise party together, but you always say you have something to do. Hmmm, so you brought your boyfriend with you!” said one of the girls.


“Yeah, but what a coincidence... we can go together!” Elena smiled and held Gerald’s hand, never letting
it go once.


None of her cousins greeted Gerald at all.


Elena knew that they looked down on him too.


However, she didn’t dare reveal Gerald’s identity without his consent. Seeing that Gerald seemed
alright, she was relieved.

But Gerald was far from happy, numbed from attending such occasions too often. He simply chose to remain silent and keep his composure.


“Okay, Elena, have a seat!”


At this time, a middle-aged lady stood up. She was Elena’s aunt, Ruby Larson.


She ran her own beauty company, making tens of millions of dollars in annual profits.


Her skin was maintained exceptionally well, and she was used to seeing many wealthy. When she saw an ordinary person like Gerald, she felt extremely uncomfortable.


“You must be Gerald! Where do you live? What does your family do?” Ruby asked.


The group of rich heirs sneered at Gerald’s direction.


“I don’t think he will answer that question. His family must be from the countryside, and they own a
farm, right?”


“Ugh, I really can’t fathom how Elena could find such a shabby-looking guy when she’s so pretty and rich? If he was my boyfriend, I would’ve jumped out of the building and died!”


“Look at him; he’s been quiet from the moment he entered the house. Obviously, he’s nervous because
he has never seen such a nice house before. He must be overwhelmed by the luxurious surroundings.
He’s no competition for Dickson Wayward!”


“Fuck! What are you talking about? He, a competition for Dickson Wayward?”


On one side, several men and women were crossing their arms as they gossiped about Gerald.

When Amber heard that they were comparing him to Dickson Wayward, she immediately frowned in disdain.


Who was Dickson Wayward anyway? He was the guy that Ruby introduced to Elena; his family owned a hotel chain. He was a graduate of Johnhurst University and the president of the Department of Economics and Management’s student body!


‘He’s someone with great achievements. This guy right here will never be a match for him!’


Gerald heard everything since they were all chatting loudly.


He wasn’t angry, only slightly depressed.


Did a person’s wealth really matter that much? When did the criteria to differentiate between a good or
bad person change from morality to wealth?


If you had the wealth, everything that you said and did was always right; but if you were poor, you were nothing!


Gerald reminisced about all the things that happened in the past.


Only then did he look at Amber. “My family is now in a small town in the country. My parents run a
small business!” Gerald said truthfully.


“Pfft, he really is from a small rural village! His parents probably just run a small kiosk in town... my goodness!”


Amber and the others were even more despicable.


Ruby, who had not said anything about letting Gerald sit down, became more serious when she heard this.

“Then what kind of merits do you have to fall in love with Elena? What nerve!”

Chapter 155
“Auntie, don’t say that!”


Elena glared at her with widened eyes.


She really did not expect such cruel words to come out from her aunt’s mouth.


She really had no idea who the person standing in front of her was. He was truly a great tycoon and a great patron of the Larson family!


Elena was a little shocked.


After being scolded so much, Gerald was only slightly agitated. The words and mockeries seemed to have numbed him.


Ruby was about to reprimand Gerald even more. She wanted to make him understand that he had to stay away from Elena.


Suddenly, her phone rang, and she picked it up to answer the call.


“Oh? Dickson Wayward? Huh? Didn’t I say I’d let you come next time? What? You’re already at the door? Okay, okay, I’ll go get you now!”


The call was from Dickson Wayward. Ruby had already told him that he wouldn’t be coming today.


But who knew that Dickson would still insist on coming here?


It was Elena’s boyfriend who was coming over, after all, Ruby thought. She was quite pleased with
Dickson and wanted Elena to get to know him, perhaps, even get to pull a few strings.

But what if Elena’s boyfriend was even better than the handsome Dickson Wayward?


What if her boyfriend was even richer than the already wealthy Dickson Wayward?


What if…


Ruby had thought of countless what-ifs, but this wasn’t what she had expected.


She did not even want to say it.


Elena had to break up with Gerald, or she would let her dad what kind of mess his daughter was in!


“Woah Woah Woah, Dickson is here! Elena, since Dickson will be attending the cruise party as well, you
can get to know him more, right?”


Amber and the others had already put Gerald aside. As of now, they intended to set up Dickson with Elena.


Right at that moment, Dickson entered the house with Ruby.


“Dickson, you’re looking great!”


Amber smiled sweetly when she saw him.


Dickson was tall and handsome. He wore silver and gold rings and watches on his hands, and it made him look rich.


“Haha! Amber is really getting better with her sweet compliments!”

Dickson shook the watch on his arm and smiled.


His gaze slowly shifted, and that was when he spotted the beautiful, heavenly Elena Larson.


“Let me guess, she must be Elena Lawson, that pretty cousin of yours from Mayberry, right?”


In actual fact, Dickson had met Elena a long time ago. They were both from Johnhurst University, and how could he not notice an impeccable beauty the likes of Elena Larson?


With just a mere glance, Dickson found himself falling in love with her.


She was simply too beautiful, so beautiful his heart was about to explode!


So, when Dickson heard Auntie Amber’s intentionally planned meeting, he was over the moon. But then,
he was suddenly told that their meeting was canceled.


Anyhow, a socialite like Dickson wanted to know why she had to cancel the meeting. The more he was not allowed to come, the more he insisted on coming!


“Well, hi there!” Elena greeted politely but immediately stood next to Gerald after that.


Was he really that unattractive?


Dickson felt grim.


It was then that he shifted his gaze to Gerald.


“So, you’re Elena’s boyfriend?” Dickson laughed confidently, attempting to give off the impression that
he was a generous and capable person.

“I am!”
