The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 91-100
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 91
Gerald turned around and looked at Xavia indifferently. “Xavia, of course I have not forgotten the things that you said. Indeed, it
was because of you that made me feel that there is hope in my life during that period. Did you know? I was willing to give you
everything at that time. However, it was you who broke up with me. To be honest, I’m still hurting even till now. I just hope that
you can always be well. It will be the same in the future. You should get on with your life!”
It was no longer possible for him to get back together with Xavia after experiencing the things that had happened over the recent
days!
It was not perfunctory, and he meant it sincerely.
Xavia finally calmed down after hearing these words, and her face grew very red.
Once, there was a boy who loved her so much and was willing to sacrifice everything for her.
Alas, she had wanted to seek comfort.
Even now, Xavia did not dare to say that she used to love Gerald whole-heartedly.
At that time, she had just wanted to find a boy who was willing to like her.
Later, she saw that many girls, even those who were not as beautiful as her, had found very handsome and rich boyfriends.
Hence, Xavia’s heart had faltered.
She had only heard of Yuri Lowell before but did not know him.
Thus, she had been tempted when he drove a BMW and stopped in front of her to ask her for a date.
Gerald was no match for him.
She did feel slightly distressed when she had broken up with Gerald, but the pain had soon disappeared when she received an
Apple mobile phone from Yuri.
Now, it turned out that Gerald was a rich second generation, a top-class second generation at that!
Xavia truly regretted it.
She had lost out on the most important person!
And Gerald had already said it now. He would never get back together with her!
She felt as humiliated as if she had been stripped naked and thrown on the streets.
“Alright, I get it!” Xavia’s eyes turned red. She clenched her fists and said, “Gerald, don’t you forget. I will not let you look down
on me forever. I will let you look at my back one day! I will repay all the humiliation that you gave me today!”
Xavia wiped away her tears and glared at him Then, she tore off her work attire and threw it to his feet, leaving immediately after.
Gerald looked at her retreating back that still looked so ruthless at the end, and he did not feel good about it.
All the same, he hoped that she would do well.
No one had expected this to happen, and Jane, who had suffered a slap for nothing, did not dare to say anything at this moment.
Even if she was just an ex-girlfriend, she used to be Mr. Gerald’s girlfriend.
She could only endure it unwillingly.
They soon came to the room.
Mr. Harrison of the Bureau of Commerce and Mr. Henderson of the Bureau of Education purposefully came to meet Gerald
respectively for the investment in some regions as well as some projects for childrens education, such as building a primary
school, and they hoped to get help from Mayberry International Inc.
These were all done under the order of his sister, Jessica Crawford.
Gerald also understood what his sister meant to do, which was to help them as a favor, and so, he happily signed it.
Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson were very grateful as each of these projects signed by Gerald was not simple.
For example, for the Hope Primary School project, a total of more than twenty schools would be built in Mayberry.
They then enjoyed the meal happily, and Gerald also got to meet with other merchants in Mayberry City.
“Mr. Gerald, this is my name card. If you need any assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to call me!”
Mr. Harrison shook Gerald’s hand before he left.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 92
He had never expected Mr. Gerald, who was a top-class wealthy man, to be so down-to-earth.
It was very different from what he imagined!
Moreover, the latter had offered him a great help this time.
For his part, Gerald knew that he was still not very sociable, but he was not in a hurry, and he knew to take his time.
“Mr. Gerald!”
Gerald was preparing to leave after the guests had left. He had an exam to attend tomorrow, so, he needed to go back and
practice again.
Jane was walking over with a blushing face at this time. She had just been slapped earlier, and it was somewhat embarrassing
for her to face Gerald now.
Gerald also felt sorry toward her.
This beautiful senior had always been very fierce, even he had almost surrendered last time!
“Yes? Do you need anything?” Gerald asked.
“It’s like this. I don’t have any shifts in the afternoon. Hence, I’m going home now. Would you like me to drop you off at the
university since we are heading in the same direction?”
Jane purposely tried to get close to Gerald. Other than having a sense of respect toward Gerald, Jane was also bolder toward
him after knowing that he was very down-to-earth and introverted.
After all, if she had a good relationship with Gerald, she might have a chance of being his partner. Even if she was just a sex
partner, Jane was willing to do so.
“Alright!” Gerald agreed without thinking much.
He felt bad as she had had to endure the humiliation of being slapped by Xavia just now. To put it bluntly, it was also because of
him.
Jane was very happy to hear this and hurried to the car.
Gerald did not expect her to drive so fast and her driving skills to be that good.
It seemed that Jane got along well with the people here, and the two had a little chat in the car.
At this time, Jane’s cell phone rang.
She picked it up, took a look, and hung up impatiently.
Soon, the phone rang again.
She picked it up and hung up yet again.
“Just answer the call. Are you afraid that I might hear it?” Gerald smiled in amusement.
Jane blushed. “No. Why would I? I don’t have any secrets to hide from Mr. Gerald. I will satisfy you no matter what you want to
see or hear...”
Jane said these words gently, slightly lifting her legs to reveal a pair of white thighs.
Gerald felt very hot at this moment.
He was extremely tempted to reach out to them, but he was a little embarrassed.
Just then, the phone rang again.
Jane did not hang up this time. Instead, she answered the call. “Luke, are you out of your mind? Why do you keep calling me? I
have already said that it was not because of your wealth that I left you. It’s impossible for the two of us! I already have someone
in my heart. You’d better go find someone else and move on! You are rich, so there will be many women surrounding you!”
Jane hung up the phone fiercely after she was done speaking.
She had deliberately spoken very loudly. Firstly, she wanted to tell Gerald that she was being chased by a rich guy, but she was
not a person that looked down on the poor.
Secondly, she was trying to tell Gerald that she was single, so, he could do whatever he wanted with her!
It was a pity that Gerald had not taken any action yet. Did she have to take the initiative?
Just as the two were waiting for each other to act first, the car had arrived at the gate of the University of Mayberry, and the
seven million dollar Benz naturally attracted a lot of people.
“Alright, let’s get down here!” Gerald saw the students’ gazes. If they went further in, they would surely be stared at by more
people, and it would be very uncomfortable.
However, Jane remained silent at this moment. She frowned and looked at the men and women standing at the school gate
before shyly whispering, “Mr. Gerald, can I drop you further in, or should we go for a drive outside? Just don’t get down here,
please?”
“Huh? Why?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 93
Gerald glanced at Jane’s expression and realized that something was wrong.
He then looked to the direction that Jane was looking at, and he was quite surprised.
There were two men and one woman. One of the men seemed to be a high society person, and a Maserati was parked in front
of him.
He was currently talking to the other guy and the woman, and to Gerald’s surprise, he knew both the man and woman.
It was Danny Xanders from the same class and Jacelyn Leigh, Alice Bradford’s roommate.
Oh gosh! When had they become a couple?
Gerald was surprised.
Also, it seemed like Jane knew them too.
The man suddenly saw them and quickly ran toward Jane’s car in excitement.
“Dmn! Ah! Mr. Gerald, I’m not scolding you. I’m just scolding that guy—Luke Evans. I did not expect him to be here. He just won’t
go away!” Jane was rather upset. Her plan to seduce Gerald had been going so well. Unfortunately, she just had to run into Luke
at this moment. On the other hand, Gerald did get a rough understanding of the issue. Luke must be Jane’s admirer. However,
Jane did not like him. What Gerald did not know was Jane still had a bit of feeling for Luke, but that was before she had met
Gerald. At this time, Gerald felt that it would be a little awkward to get off the car when he saw Danny and Jacelyn walking
toward them with a smile. “Well, you’d better go down and talk to them. I’ll wait for you in the car. After that, you can just drop me
off at the door of the dormitory!” Gerald scratched his head helplessly. “Alright, Mr. Gerald!” Jane responded and got out of the
car. “Luke, why are you here? And also, why did you keep calling me just now? You’re so annoying!” Jane was truly annoyed.
“Jane, I also did not expect to meet you here. I’m here to send my cousin and his girlfriend back to the university. I remember
you said that you would often pay a visit to your alma mater. Hence, I made a call and wanted to ask you to come around!” Luke
smiled and continued, “Jane, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Danny. He’s a junior. This is his girlfriend, Jacelyn. She’s
from the broadcasting faculty and is also a junior!” “Hey, sister-in-law! You are so pretty!” To be honest, Danny was actually in
awe seeing the beautiful and sexy Jane. Jane then laughed. “Who is your sister-in-law?! I’m not Danny’s girlfriend!” Jane just
wanted to get this over with, and her expression was not friendly. Danny was startled. He could already feel it just now when he
heard the conversation between Jane and his cousin, but Jane’s tone was really cold. It was not like what his cousin said.
Women were like this, they needed to be pampered. Still, her attitude and expression was not right, indicating that something
was wrong. There was no need to pamper her! However, Luke felt slightly embarrased and tried to cover it up. He quickly smiled
and said, “That’s enough, Jane. Stop making a fuss. Go and park your car and the four of us will go shopping together!” “Just
who is the one causing trouble?! Luke, I have already said it very clearly. It’s impossible for us. I have someone in my heart. You
are rich, you will be able to find another beautiful girl easily. Don’t waste your time and energy on me!” Jane said mercilessly. At
this moment, many students had come out to play, and they were all attracted by this scene. Two luxury cars, a man and a
woman arguing... it was hard not to be noticed. Especially when Jane was speaking so loudly, it was so embarrassing for Luke.
“Jane, tell me. Who’s in your heart? Don’t tell me, is it your godfather who gave you this Mercedes-Benz? He’s almost sixty!”
Luke’s face turned dark. “Dmn! Luke, can you watch your words?!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 94
Jane was grinding her teeth in consternation.
Beside her, Jacelyn was clinging intimately to Danny’s arm while sizing Jane up at the same time.
Truth be told, when she saw the gorgeous Jane emerging from that fancy car, Jacelyn was immediately overcome with envy.
What’s more, Jane herself hadn’t spared her so much as a single glance, and Jacelyn was not pleased by that one bit.
Having heard something interesting, she whispered to Danny and Luke, “Goodness me, that Jane really gets around! She’s got
powerful friends, buys an expensive car like it’s nothing... but does she have someone special? Perhaps, rather than those big
tycoons, she might have picked up some new toy boy!”
Smack!
The moment Jacelyn said that...
Jane slapped her right across the face. “You’d better watch your mouth. What’s this ‘toy boy’ nonsense?”
“Did you just... slap me?!” Jacelyn held her face, quite nearly slapped senseless.
Jane seemed ready to strike her again.
However, Luke caught her hand. “Jane, dear, tell us if there’s any truth to Jacelyn’s words. Have you gotten yourself a pet
lately?” He seemed genuinely nervous about this.
“Let go of me, Luke! What business of yours is it, whomever I like?” At this point, Jane sorely wished she’d stayed in the car.
Even if Luke had caught sight of her, all she’d had to do was step on the gas and make a break for it.
Now, there was all this talk about tycoons and toy boys... She had gone through so much trouble to improve her image with
Gerald, and now, all that had gone to waste!
But the more she behaved this way, the more Luke feared it might be true.
D*mn it, how much money had he spent on this girl already? And to think she’d been keeping a little something for herself on the
side?!
Gerald sat in the car, listening to them squabble.
Jane loved money. Gerald had known that all along.
Once a hostess at some hot springs resort up in the mountains, she now held an executive position. There was no way she
wouldn’t have some dirty little secrets here and there.
At the moment though, Gerald would much rather for Jane to just drive away right now.
Suddenly, a shadow loomed beside him as someone appeared by his side.
It was Jacelyn.
After the slap she had taken, she was anxious to see if there was any swelling. If so, there would be hell to pay.
As such, she turned her head this way and that in front of the passenger-side window. She even pouted a little to see if her
cutesy charms had been diminished in any way.
Good, still cute!
Jacelyn nodded contentedly. Then, a shiver of alarm ran through her.
Through the glass, she had noticed the vague outline of another person. A man.
How scandalous!
Right now, nothing else could have mattered more.
She smirked at Jane, and said to Luke, “It’s true, Luke! There’s another man she’s been seeing, and he’s in the passenger seat
of her car right now, too scared to step out into the light!”
It was as though Jacelyn had happened upon a whole new world of wonder.
Compared to Danny, Luke came from an even more well-off family. They were very influential around these parts, too.
Jane was about to receive her reckoning. Served her right! Feel the pain!
“What?!” Hearing this, Luke and Danny both peered into the passenger seat. Because the windows were tinted, neither had paid
much attention at first nor noticed anything.
Upon closer examination, there was indeed someone inside there.
Unbeknownst to them, Gerald was already belting out wall-to-wall expletives!
For crying out loud! Now he was getting caught up in all this mess?!
He had a bad feeling about this whole thing—because right now, a crowd was rapidly growing outside the car!
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 95
“What’s going on?”
The crowd swelled in size. Curiosity was mounting.
“Not sure yet, but it seems that hot babe had something going with that rich dude, but she’s also been cheating on him with a toy
boy on the side. Now, they’re making a scene!”
“That’s right! The other guy is in the car as we speak! This is going to be the dramatic reveal! I’m dying here!”
“Heh, heh... If only it were me in that car right now. That girl is totally fine! Ah-woo!”
Many of the guys present were making no secret of their envy.
Sitting in the car, Gerald wished he could smash his head against something.
“Danny, what’s going on?” Two figures appeared from the crowd. One, a man, and the other, a woman, both who came over to
join Danny.
“Oh, Victor, Whitney... we need some help over here!” Danny said.
He briefly explained the situation.
Everyone craved the spotlight. When something was going on, especially with such a large audience gathered, there would
always be people who wanted to get themselves involved and be a part of it!
“So that’s how it is. Alright, we’re all friends here. Let’s resolve this matter together. Whoever’s in that car, could you please step
outside so we can clear this up?” Victor wore a mask of disdain.
“That’s right, that’s right! Come out so we can talk!” Jacelyn echoed excitedly.
“No way! Who do you think you are? Get lost, all of you!” Jane snapped and then turned on her heel, storming off. At this rate,
Gerald’s good name was going to fall to ruin. She wouldn’t be able to make up for that!
But this was only making Luke more anxious.
Burning with jealousy, he was losing all sense of reason.
“Jane, don’t you walk away! One way or another, I’m getting an answer out of you!”
Then Danny and Victor were there, trying to open up the passenger door.
However, there was no need.
Seeing how things had reached this point already, Gerald opened the door and stepped out on his own.
The way he saw it, if he hesitated any longer, it would only make matters worse!
“Gerald!”
“I’ll be dmned!” “The hell?!” “What?!” Danny, Jacelyn, Victor, and Whitney all planted their jaws on the ground. “Why are you
here?!” Jacelyn gasped. In truth, these few days, Jacelyn had been harboring a major crush on Gerald. Unfortunately, he had
remained oblivious to all the hints she’d been giving him. The reason she was going out with Danny was thanks in part to Gerald.
Since he had shown no interest in Jacelyn, she had decided to go after one of his classmates instead, hoping to incite his
jealousy! Furthermore, he was her main suspect as the true identity behind a certain legendary figure! For the sake of a catch
like him, a few underhanded tactics were perfectly justified! However, this proved to be too big a plot twist. “Dmn! And here I was
wondering how you’d suddenly struck it rich... Now I see that you were somebody’s toy boy all along! And to think you were
even flaunting your money for everyone to see!” Danny muttered darkly.
Honestly, finding Gerald in there had just made this much more interesting for him.
Gerald put on a relaxed smile. “Jane was just giving me a lift back to school, haha... You guys are making too much out of this!”
It was an embarrassing situation, but he kept his cool.
“The hell we are!” Danny hollered. “Don’t try to wriggle out of this. Our Jane’s been keeping you around as her plaything, hasn’t
she? All that money you’ve been splurging might very well have come from Luke!”
“What’s this? Danny, you know this guy?” Luke regarded Gerald with open hostility.
“Hah! Not only do we know him, but we’re also classmates with him! A penniless wretch who became rich all of a sudden...
spinning some tale about winning the lottery, but it turns out he was just somebody’s pet!”
“Right! That’s right!” Whitney piped up. “I heard Gerald was shopping for clothes once, in that upmarket place outside campus...
He didn’t have enough money on him at the time, but then a girl our age showed up and paid in his stead! And then, he gave
those clothes to me! The young woman in that story was loaded and owned the whole store chain... Maybe she’s also one of the
girls holding your leash, eh?”
What had happened was that when Gerald had given that gift to Whitney just a few days ago, she had paid a visit to that same
shop at the first opportunity to investigate if he had deceived her somehow.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 96
When she’d found out those clothes cost well over ten thousand bucks, Whitney had been shocked beyond words.
However, perhaps because the salesperson in the shop had made a fuss over how that woman’s gift to Gerald had ended up in
another girl’s hands... Whitney had been too embarrassed to bring it up until now.
She had only just found out that he was actually poor.
Indeed, she had always wondered where all his wealth had come from.
Now, it all made sense. Just like he had told her online, he had a patron.
And not just that... She was even chauffeuring him around in a Benz! Last time, it had been a Ferrari!
Now, all the pieces fit into place!
“Hmph!” Victor snorted. “Gerald, you always seemed like such a nice guy. To think that you were up to something like this... and
Mila’s supposed to be best friends with a loser like you?”
The crowd exploded into chaos.
“Wahaha, he’s the king of gigolos!”
“He’s a little fairer than usual, but no God among men. How could he be so popular with so many babes?”
“Ah, you must not know this, but... some women like this type of guy!”
Everyone was abuzz with chatter.
Fuming with rage, Luke was ready for a fight.
Smack!
And yet, it was Jane who vehemently slapped Luke across the face.
“What I do is none of your concern. You lot can just scram!” Jane was going hysterical.
Luke had always been annoying, but Jane had still been able to tolerate it. However, if he laid a hand on Mr. Crawford today, she
would have killed him before he had any idea what was going on!
“Jane, darling... you struck me... for the sake of your little toy boy, you actually struck me!” Sputtering from the humiliation, his
hands were clenched into fists as he turned and stomped away.
As he left, he gave Gerald one last warning glare.
People were taking photos on their handphones now, and he didn’t dare linger here any longer.
That was when Gerald’s phone rang. It was Elena.
What was going on today?! He didn’t know anymore.
“Hello?”
He then heard Elena’s gentle voice. “Mr. Crawford, I just wanted to inform you that the grand banquet at the end of this month
will be taking place aboard the Heaven’s Bounty cruise liner. Reservations have already been made, so you have to be there!
When Aiden and the others heard you’d be coming, they were overjoyed!”
“Oh, the Heaven’s Bounty? That’s great!”
“Well then, shall I pick you up on the day, sir?”
“Pick me up? No need. I’ve got my own car and I should be getting a driving license by this month’s end. Just let me know where
to go and I’ll drive there myself!”
“Very good!”
With the matter concluded, Gerald hung up.
Then, he saw Danny, Jacelyn, Whitney, and Victor all staring at him in awe.
“Heaven’s Bounty?” Victor gasped. “You’re going to the party abord the Heaven’s Bounty cruise liner later this month?”
“You’ll be driving there? Gerald, you have a car?!” Whitney asked in disbelief.
“That event aboard the Heaven’s Bounty... If toy boy here weren’t completely out of the loop, he’d know that the head of the
Mayberry group as well as all the rich kids of the south will be making an appearance there. The whole internet is abuzz over it!
What sort of act is he putting on?”
“Hah, he’s just trying to save himself some face! Just check him out!”
The gathered onlookers smirked at him as though they watching a loony.
Suffering through all this mockery, Gerald wanted nothing more than to lash out at them.
It would be simple. All he had to do was walk over to the park, get into his Reventon, and drive one lap around the campus. Still,
that wasn’t his style.
Heh. Well, say whatever you wanted to!
Gerald thanked Jane and then took his leave.
“D*mn it, what’s that toy boy swaggering around for?! I’ll give you a good what-for!” Danny stared daggers into Gerald’s back.
Gerald then made his way to the driving school.
“Gerald!” All of a sudden, Mila’s voice rang out from behind him.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 97
Gerald turned to look. It was Mila.
“Here to practice driving?” He called out with a smile.
“Yup, yup! I’m taking the second test tomorrow. Oh, yeah! Will you be taking the third test then?” Owing to what had happened
last time, she had run off without finishing the second test.
Naturally, she had to retake it.
Gerald nodded in response.
“Great! Let’s go together and hope that we both pass!”
“Sounds good! Let’s go~ To driving practice!” Seeing Mila was cheering him up already.
In the past, he would have been stuttering and stammering around her.
If you wanted to see the world, it was good to have friends in high places.
It really broadened one’s outlook.
They practiced the whole afternoon, and the next day, they each went to take their respective tests.
Things went smoothly for Gerald both in the theory and practical sections.
In just a couple of days, his driving license had been acquired.
As he had made an agreement with Mila, they met up at the gates and went for lunch together.
Since his was a double test, he naturally came out later than her. When he did, sure enough, there was Mila, waiting for him.
Just that, there was a young couple with her as well, and all of them were chatting about something.
Gerald slowly made his way over. All three were engrossed in their conversation, and no one noticed him approach.
“Mila, besides our family gatherings, we almost never see you at all! What are you doing out here all by yourself?” The girl wore
a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. There was something faintly mocking in her tone.
“That’s right, Irene. We never talk at all! But I must say, you always amaze me... Is this your latest boyfriend?” The way Mila
spoke to her was completely off as well.
It was as though they were bitter enemies, always ready to attack on sight!
A lifelong feud!
This last line invoked a slight grimace from the handsome young man beside Irene.
never learned any manners?” Irene seemed angered.
Certainly, they were both Smiths. Irene’s father was Mila’s uncle. Along with Kyle, they were all cousins.
The thing was, while it was nice to be among people the same age as you, there were pitfalls as well.
Since childhood, the equal standing between both girls had always been a problem. As such, they competed over everything,
just as they’d done since they were little girls.
Whether it was about studies or popularity, Mila had always been ahead of Irene.
During family gatherings, one thing the elders always liked to say was, “Irene, you could learn a thing or two from Mila!”
Irene had grown up in Mila’s shadow, and it had made them bitter rivals, always trying to get one up over the other.
They were grown up now, but they still hadn’t gotten over their long-standing grudges.
You could hear it in the way they spoke to each other!
“Mhmm... I know, Mila. You’ve always been a little withdrawn and you’ve got high standards... and for all that, after all these
years, not a single boyfriend in evidence. What can you pretend to know about love and heartbreak?”
Irene crossed her arms and went on with a sneer, “Here you are, alone as usual. Kenneth can’t stand being left alone for even a
moment and always needs to have someone with him!”
Kenneth Lee smiled shyly, his arm around Irene’s slim waist.
If he helped defeat her hated enemy, perhaps Irene would be in a good enough mood to spread her legs for him!
Indeed, this line of conversation was starting to upset Mila.
She had been single all this while, unimpressed by all hopeful comers.
She hadn’t expected that she would bump into her cousin Irene while taking her driving test here, boyfriend in tow, putting on all
kinds of airs...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 98
After years of bitter rivalry, even the smallest conflict could lead to explosive consequences.
Mila was on the verge of losing it... but there was nothing she could say.
“Mila!”
Gerald had been watching from a distance for a while now. Now that Mila was losing, it was time to join the fray.
“Ah! Gerald!” Mila leaped in shock when she saw him.
He wasn’t supposed to catch her like this with her weakness in full view!
“Whoa, Mila, who’s this?” Irene looked him up and down. Seeing his plain clothes, a smile bloomed across her face. All her own
friends were people of note. Mila, on the other hand, was keeping this kind of company...
And the casual way he called out to her... Did that mean that something was going on between them?
“This is my friend, Gerald. What about it?” Mila announced without reservation.
“Oho, and here I was thinking that this might be your brother-in-law, Irene!” Kenneth was holding out his hand to show off his
watch, a golden Rolex, by way of challenging Gerald to a cockfight.
But if he was just a friend, then never mind.
“How could that be, Kenneth?” Irene cried out in mirth. “How could Mila have possibly found herself a boyfriend being the ice
queen that she is! Besides, just take a look at this friend of hers... what is he even wearing? Mila’s boyfriend, indeed!”
She attacked Mila viciously, never sparing a thought for Gerald’s feelings. Evidently, she already regarded him as less than
nothing.
“Haha...” Faced with these insults, Mila was strangely more pleased than vexed. “How wrong you are, Irene. Gerald and I are
more than just friends—we’re going steady!”
With that, Mila traipsed over to Gerald and embraced his arm.
This soft sensation... it set his whole body quivering.
So now, he had become Mila Smith’s boyfriend?
It was something he had always desired, but he had never imagined his dream coming true thanks to such a turn of events.
It was a complicated tangle of emotions he was experiencing right now.
Meanwhile, Irene and Kenneth were both dumbstruck.
“Heh... Mila, you’re just saying that to get a rise out of me, right? Even if you’re out of your mind and wanting to get a boyfriend
so you can keep up with me, perhaps eventually even a husband to give you the good life, he would still have to be a somebody,
am I right? Not something like... him.”
“By the way, I guess I haven’t properly introduced Kenneth to you yet. He’s the heir to the Lee family enterprise. Do you know
what car he drives? A Ferrari. By this token alone, Mila, you’ve already lost to me!”
Irene was red in the face now.
Well, now... Mila, you’ve never been willing to admit defeat to me, huh? Show me what you’ve got, then! We’ll see who gets the
last laugh!
Sure enough, Mila refused to back down. “Heh! And what does that mean? My boyfriend, Gerald, is a wealthy heir in his own
right. He just doesn’t parade it around everywhere unlike some people’s boyfriends who can’t stop showing off!”
Mila was gripping both of Gerald’s hands tightly. She was really putting herself out there right now.
“Ahaha! What? This Gerald guy is rich? He’s just keeping a low profile?” Irene guffawed raucously. “You’ve got me there, Mila,
you’ve truly beaten me this time! In this respect, I definitely can’t hold a candle to you!”
Meanwhile, Gerald’s heart was steeped in doubt.
A moment ago, he had been amazed at how serious a childhood rivalry could be. Not even a goddess like Mila could rise above
it.
Calling him her boyfriend... it was only for the sake of this contest with Irene.
However, that last thing Mila said had caught him completely off-guard!
“Mila, did you already know about it?” He had been agonizing over how to reveal the truth to his friends, but now that she had
said it herself, he felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.
Taken aback, Mila asked, “Did I already know about what?”
“About me being a wealthy heir!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 99
“What did you say? Wealthy heir, are you?! Hahaha!” Irene was thoroughly enjoying herself now.
Mila had always been untouchable, beyond anyone’s reach... to think that she would have picked such an oddball as her
boyfriend!
What a moron.
Kenneth was sneering as well. “In that case, Gerald, if I may be so bold, what sort of work do you do? Which field is your family
involved in?” As he said this, he brandished his wristwatch again, as though worried people might fail to notice his Rolex.
Gerald regarded the two of them coldly. “You don’t deserve to hear about my family business.”
“Bwahahahahaha!” Clutching their bellies, they burst into laughter.
Mila tugged gently on his shirt, pleading for him to stop talking.
She had said all of that just now because she had been in a panic. She hadn’t expected Gerald to take the ball and run with it.
Mila was well aware that Gerald came from modest means and was always getting bullied too. It was just that he had won a
lottery later on.
Still, lottery or no, he was nowhere near someone like Kenneth Lee.
She had just wanted to stand up to Irene.
Instead, this had only made things worse!
As the four of them were wrestling with their own inner demons...
Bang!
A bottle was hurled to the ground in rage.
“I don’t care, I don’t care! I just want my license! I want to start driving today! I don’t care what you have to do as long as it gets
me my driving license!”
Gerald glanced over.
A young woman in her twenties was throwing a tantrum at her boyfriend, and both were fashionably dressed.
The girl had probably failed her test, hence, her current mood.
“Calm down, Mina. I’ll think of something. Maybe I can pull some strings and get that license issued for you somehow!”
“Hmph! That’s more like it. It’s not fair that all the other girls can get theirs so easily. Anyone could see that there was something
wrong with my car, otherwise, how else could I have screwed up reverse parking?! Aaah! I have to be in your Lamborghini
Gallardo as soon as possible so I can show off at my old school!”
Mina was losing her mind while the guy was just trying to reason with her.
Gerald sighed gently. Those two seemed familiar but he couldn’t quite place his finger on it just at the moment.
“Sean, Mina!” Kenneth called out cheerfully.
“Oh? Kenneth, you know that big guy with the Lambo?” Irene asked, combing her hair a little.
“Yup. Sean Girard, my senior back at Sunnydale University. His family is in dairy, they’re old money. When I checked up on him
recently, he had just bought a Gallardo for almost six hundred thousand dollars. Holy cow!” Kenneth was clearly delighted to be
acquainted with such a personage.
“Wow! Half a million for a sports car! That’s awesome!” Irene was seeing stars now.
Kenneth’s Ferrari had only cost a trifling hundred thousand or so.
This new guy sounded very sexy.
Kenneth took a moment to tidy his clothes and then hurried over to say hi.
“Kenneth, so it’s you!” As he approached, Mina stopped her boo-hooing instantly, and everyone began exchanging pleasantries.
“What a coincidence! Come to think of it, it’s been years since graduation, huh? Yo, let’s see, here... You’ve got a Ferrari?
Looking good!” Sean laughed wryly.
“What’s my car compared to your Lamborghini? Oh, right—have you got it here now? I’d love to see it up close!”
Clinging to Kenneth’s arm, Irene gave Sean a little smile.
That counted as a greeting too.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 100
“Oho, you must be Kenneth’s girlfriend, Irene! My car is right over there, haha! Look all you want, it’s nothing special. Half a
million, barely worth anything! After you’ve finished your inspection, let’s all go grab a bite to eat!” Saying this, Sean led them off
jovially.
“Hey, hey! Mila, don’t you want to see it too? Oh, that’s right... best not to, perhaps. Even if you saw it, it’s not like your boyfriend
could afford one for himself. Not like Kenneth, who has a Ferrari. Also, also, Mila... Do you need some spending money? I hope
you understand. If it were not for Sean offering to treat us to a meal, I’d ask Kenneth to give you guys a lift. However, since we’ll
be leaving with Sean in a bit, if you need some cash for a taxi, all you need to do is ask!” Irene hugged herself and giggled.
She absolutely had to capitalize on every advantage.
Coming from anyone else, Mila wouldn’t be troubled. But this girl, whom she had always beaten at everything over all these
years, to finally be lording it over her like this... it irked her all the way to her bones.
“Who cares! No one wants to see it, anyway!” Mila was spitting fire and was just about to drag Gerald away with her.
“Let’s go see!” Gerald suggested suddenly, rubbing his nose with a grin.
Firstly, it felt as though Mila was curious to see this Lamborghini herself, and she definitely didn’t want to walk away still fuming
over Irene.
Secondly, Gerald himself wanted to see it. He was interested in making a comparison against his own Lambo!
More importantly, there was something very familiar about those two...
“Alright, alright, let’s all go have a look. But Sean is only friends with Kenneth, don’t expect him to treat you guys as well!” Irene
grinned.
Gerald then led Mila over to join everyone.
The moment he clapped eyes on that Gallardo, a memory came flooding back to him!
No wonder he felt as though he’d seen them before.
These two had been with that salesperson, back when Gerald had been shopping for his car!
The girl had been wearing heavy make-up at that time. Today, she’d had to take a test, so she was only wearing light make-up.
That was why he had failed to make the connection right away.
He could remember this Mina girl sitting in the car, refusing to get out.
Haha, what a small world!
“I say, you can really tell this sports car cost over half a million. It’s simply majestic! It’s something else!”
“Sean, will we all be going in your car later?” Irene cooed enviously.
“No problem! Oh? Kenneth, are these two here your friends?” Sean turned when he noticed Gerald and Mila.
Of course, the one he noticed wasn’t Gerald, but rather, the invigorating, captivating, and otherworldly beauty named Mila.
Gorgeous. Even more of a looker than Kenneth’s girlfriend, Irene.
“Hoho, this is my younger cousin, and that loser beside her is her boyfriend!” Irene announced sourly.
She put particular emphasis on the word ‘boyfriend’ as though she wanted everyone to pay close attention to that fact.
“I see!” Sean smiled brightly and walked up to shake hands with Mila.
Put off by the unconcealed lust in his eyes, she backed away from him.
Sean’s handshake was intercepted by Gerald, instead. “How do you do?”
“Argh!” Sean frowned darkly, annoyed to be shaking hands with some bum. Deflating somewhat, he glanced at Gerald briefly.
“How do you—the hell?! You again?!”
He instantly recognized Gerald and stood there stunned. In fact, he was shaking with disbelief.
Not that Gerald was ugly by any measure, but stick him in a crowd and he’d blend right in, especially with the sort of clothes he
typically wore. He wasn’t the eye-catching sort of guy.
It was only at this moment that Sean had detected his presence here and was paralyzed by this discovery.
This was the Mr. Crawford who had put down nearly three million for a car without so much as batting an eyelash!
“Why, Mr. Crawford! What a pleasure to see you again!” Sean shook his hands enthusiastically.
“What, what?” Irene gabbled.
“Sean, what did you just call him?!”
