Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 81
“Quinton, how did you get to know each other? Look at you. You are carrying so many things! Come
and sit here.”
Mila’s mother was Helen Smith, and she was the vice president of their company.
Hence, she had a wide social network.
Although Quinton had been involved in an ugly scandal days ago for his immoral actions, Mrs. Smith
was well aware of the potential of his family. Besides, it was acceptable for a young man to misconduct
sometimes in his life.
More importantly, the Ziegler family had expanded its business in Mayberry Commercial Street. They
would rise to power soon.
If her company could receive help from the Ziegler family this time, wouldn’t it mean that their crisis
would be solved?
Upon hearing Mrs. Smith’s questions, Quinton gave Gerald a dirty look and said, “Of course I know
him! He is a notorious character in the university!”
Thinking of how Gerald was present during his last few embarrassing moments, Quinton’s hatred
toward Gerald began to grow.

Victor had heard of Quinton Zeigler before and knew what kind of a character he was in society, and
so, he smiled and nodded at the latter politely.
Whitney also did the same, hoping that Quinton would take notice of her presence.
She did not mind his nasty past as he was undeniably the son of one of the richest in Mayberry!
However, Quinton’s eyes were on Mila alone.
After what had happened just recently, Quinton and Alice had broken up for good.
Luckily, Quinton’s father was a businessman who had a huge network.
Coincidentally, Mila’s father’s company had a business relationship with theirs.
Previously, Quinton had attempted several times to ask Mila out for dinner but was rejected. So, to
Quinton, Mila Smith was a cold-hearted goddess who had never acknowledged him.
However, the situation had changed. Now that Mila’s family was facing a huge crisis, Quinton could
reignite his plan.
He ought to act as a kind man at the very least.
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith. My father had received news about your company, so, I am here on behalf of my
father to gain a better understanding of you in person. I will make a call to my father later to explain the
situation to him and see if he can help out. Besides, all these friends of Mila who are here today are no
commoners. We can work together to figure out a good way to help you overcome the crisis!” Quinton
said with a confident smile.
“Indeed. You are absolutely right, Quinton. I truly hope those of you who have connections with
influential people can help us if possible.” Helen Smith started to take a liking toward Quinton.
She had decided to turn a blind eye on his nasty past. All she could hope for now was Quinton
becoming her son-in-law!
Victor and the rest nodded in agreement.
“Quinton is right. Although we might not be as powerful as the Ziegler family, we can still contribute as
much as we can. After all, Mila’s company is just facing some capital constraints, it still retains its
potential.”
“Yeah. One of my mother’s friends holds a high position in the bank, maybe we can get a loan from her
bank!”
Everyone was working hard with what they had to help. Some helped with their own money, some used
their connections to get funding.
Helen was very glad to see them all willing to help.
She was very clear about the backgrounds of her daughter’s friends. Not one of them was from a
mediocre family.

Gerald was looking at his phone, swiping his finger on the screen, as if he was looking for something.
How pretentious.
Since when did Mila get to know someone so low?
And it was a horrible nightmare when she realized that this man had feelings for her daughter!
“Gerald, don’t you have lectures to attend? Thank you for your concern, but you should not neglect
your studies. Why don’t you go back first?”
Helen Smith had sensed Quinton’s hostility to Gerald, so, she acted quickly to send him away.
Her action surprised Gerald who was just about to call Zack.
Somehow, he could understand why she did so. She must have thought that he was the useless one
and apparently, she had chosen to side with Quinton.
Gerald felt bitter.
He admitted that he had done some bad things before, but that was nothing in comparison to Quinton’s
deeds. Just because he was a famous second-generation rich, his dreadful past was easily forgotten
by others.
As for him, being forgiven by the other people seemed impossible. To them, he was simply disgusting!
Why did they receive different treatment from others? Well, Quinton was rich, and he was penniless.
“Duh, look at him! He’s acting as if he is calling someone for help. As if he could!”
