The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 711

By then, Marven had already gotten up from his seat and was now approaching them.

He then shook hands with Alexander before saying, "Good day, Mr. Brookes! We've talked over the phone the day before. I tried calling you again earlier but you didn't pick up!"

"I'm terribly sorry Mr. Wadley! I had to resolve some of my daughter's school matters just now! Please forgive my tardiness!"

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wadley, you've told us to prepare a few documents the day before. Here's the office area you were interested in and the 4D showroom model of the outlet," said Mr. Brookes as he took a few documents out.

"Before proceeding any further, here's a general breakdown regarding the payment. The outlet and the office area combined will cost around thirty-five million dollars since you're paying the full lease upfront. I've made sure to give you a few discounts as well!"

"No problem. For now, let's just have a seat first before discussing this any further!" replied Marven as he led Mr. Brookes to the side.

Meanwhile, Raquel was still standing at the same spot, though she was now hyperventilating. She felt as though her soul had just left her body.

'How... How could this be? Why Marven? Since when did he become this powerful?!'

"Don't be fooled by this fatty, Mr. Brookes. As if he could ever cough up thirty-five million dollars in cash!" said Jefferson looking extremely doubtful.

"Yeah, we know him well, Mr. Brookes! He definitely can't pay that amount of money! You're just wasting your time and energy talking to him!" added Raquel, visibly upset.

"Heh, you're the ones who are mistaken. If you aren't aware, Mr. Wadley's Salford Star Travel Agency already has over two hundred projects signed! And the numbers keep on rising! We've checked their funding as well, and they have somewhere around eighty million dollars worth in capital!" explained Alexander as he smiled.

'Do they honestly take me as a fool? As if I could ever make a mistake about something like this! What funny kids.'

The group then watched in pure horror as Marven signed the contract with Alexander. With that done, Alexander immediately bowed respectfully at Gerald who had been watching silently at the side this entire time.

Seeing this only amplified Raquel's embarrassment.

She had only wanted to rent a place but she didn't have the money to do so.

Marven, on the other hand, had just bought two whole units in one go! And to think that his travel agency had already signed over two hundred projects! 'What is even happening anymore?'

With the contract signed, Gerald and Marven decided that it was high time to leave.

Jefferson didn't even dare to look at him anymore, choosing instead to keep his head low. Raquel herself was reluctant to simply accept this colossal defeat. She then ran after Marven before asking, "Marven... You... You started your own company? What is this? Why didn't you tell me about any of this before?"

Raquel could feel her cheeks burning up as she asked the question.

"Oh, I just started it quite recently. We'll officially be operating in a few days though we still have quite a few projects to prepare for!" replied Marven, not feeling any need to hide this.

"I... see... Then, regarding how rich you suddenly became...?"

"Quite frankly, that's none of your business."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and left her there. Marven hadn't felt this satisfied and proud of himself in ages.

"...Y-you!"

Raquel was so upset that she was speechless. She could only stomp on the ground in anger as she watched the two leave her behind.

'How could this be? How could any of this actually be happening?!' Raquel thought to herself repeatedly as she felt her frustration well up in her chest. It almost felt like she was ready to burst into a million pieces.

Meanwhile, Gerald came to realize that after settling all those necessary procedures, it was already nearing noon.

With that, the two had a quick lunch before returning to campus together.

While they made their way back to school, the news about Gerald and Marven starting a new company had already spread like wildfire. There were even rumors that they already had multiple projects on hand! Even though the two had yet to return to class, all their classmates were already talking about it, and all the noise made for a rather huge commotion.x
