Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 352

“Heh. Hey, your name’s Gerald, right? Why don’t you take out the jade bracelet you bought for Giya and show it to

us too?”

In his mind, Yacob thought that Gerald was most definitely the reason why Giya had been ignoring him all this time.

Therefore, he was targeting Gerald now.

“Forget about mine! The jade bracelet which I bought is nowhere near as good as yours. You don’t have to look at

it!” said Gerald truthfully.

After all, he had simply bought a jade bracelet which cost seven thousand and five hundred dollars for Giya. It was

nowhere near the absurd price of Yacob’s gift.

Besides, if he really wanted to mock Yacob, it’d be easier for Gerald to just slap the boy in the face.

However, Gerald didn’t want to get involved with him or Giya and her friends too much in the future so he

abstained for now.

Mila was sincere to him so he wanted to do the same.

Therefore, there was no reason for him to compete with Yacob. Nothing good would ever come of it nor would he

gain anything.

“That’s right, Gerald! Don’t be shy, we won’t laugh at you. Show us already!” said Tammy.

Before he could even respond, Tammy had already walked up to Gerald. She grabbed the box from his hand and

placed it atop the table.

All the girls were looking forward to it.

Imagine comparing an eighteen thousand dollar jade bracelet to one that just cost a few dollars!

The difference would be like heaven and hell.

Tammy opened the box in one swift movement.

Gerald simply lowered his head, knowing he was about to get ridiculed. After this, he would simply need to look for

a reason to excuse himself and leave.

Everything would be settled and he wouldn’t owe Giya anything anymore.

He waited for the mocking to start.

He waited, and waited, and waited.

But it never came. Neither Tammy nor Yacob were mocking him at all.

Peeking up to see what was taking them so long, he saw Tammy staring at his jade bracelet, an extreme look of

shock on her face.

“Gerald… this… this bracelet… You bought this jade bracelet?” stuttered Tammy when she finally mustered the

strength to speak.

The rest of the girls had still not recovered from the revelation, their mouths left wide open, speechless.

“F*ck! That’s the dragon jade bracelet! I saw this thing online and it sold for about thirty thousand dollars!”

“I’ve heard about it too! Could this just be a high grade imitation jade bracelet? I’d like to believe so but… The color.

It just seems too realistic to just be an imitation!”

“What do you mean a high grade imitation? It’s really easy to authenticate it from a fake so imitating it in the first

place is impossible!”

“That’s true! Oh my god! Gerald’s jade bracelet is worth thirty-two thousand dollars!”

If the girls had not actually seen and held on to the actual product at that moment, they wouldn’t have believed

that statement even if it cost them their lives.

However, there it was. The dragon jade bracelet in their hands.

Gerald was stunned as well and he felt cold sweat begin to drip from his forehead.

F*ck! He had grabbed the wrong box this morning! Even though the two boxes were quite similar, Gerald had

marked them with the numbers, seven and thirty-two, to differentiate them.

He made sure to check that he was holding on to the cheaper bracelet’s box before he left with it, so what was the

thirty-two thousand dollar dragon jade bracelet doing here?

D*mn it!

Gerald’s heart was beating frantically.

Everyone else was still shocked speechless!

Even the surrounding female student customers had gotten off their seats and gathered around their table by this

point.

“Let me see that!” said Giya as she gingerly took the jade bracelet from Tammy’s hands.

After carefully examining it, Giya looked at Gerald with a look of disbelief on her face. “…It’s the real deal. It’s

absolutely authentic. Gerald, did you buy this?”

Gerald had no idea how to answer her.

While all this was happening, Yacob’s face had grown to be as red as a tomato. His cheeks were flushed with both

surprise and anger. He felt as if he had just been slapped hard on the face!

“H-heh! And here I thought that you were an honest guy. You’re just another one of those pretentious folk, aren’t

you? Saying that your own bracelet wasn’t as expensive as mine… You’re doing this on purpose to mock me, aren’t

you?”

Even Yacob’s taunts were said in a slightly quivering voice. He couldn’t help but feel extremely anxious at how he

utterly lost face today.

“I… didn’t… mean it… I really thought that mine was cheaper than yours… Who could have guessed that it was

actually more expensive?”

Those words were true as Gerald had not wanted to compare his bracelet to Yacob’s in the first place.

At that moment, Gerald suddenly recalled that he hadn’t touched the two jade bracelets at all since he had brought

them back to the dormitory. Someone must have either accidentally, or deliberately switched them around. He

would ask Harper and the boys about it when he got back.

Hearing Gerald’s honest reply, Yacob felt like he had received a punch in the gut this time. He was beyond

embarrassed at this point.

“Hurry up and answer us Gerald! Did you buy this jade bracelet?”

All the girls were looking at Gerald expectantly. Their eyes were sprinkled with both admiration and excitement at

the same time.
