Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1118
“So tell me, Gerald, why did you come all the way out here? Could it be that you’re hoping to meet Master Ghost to
have your love fortune read? They say his predictions are extremely accurate, you know!” said Yasmeen.
At that, Gerald simply shook his head.
He didn’t really have much to talk to her about, and through his attitude, Gerald hoped that Yasmeen would
eventually get the hint and understand that he really didn’t want to continue chatting with her.
“I see… Well I certainly did! I hope he predicts nice things about my love life!” replied Yasmeen with a smile.
“Come again? Don’t you already have a husband?” said Gerald.
Though he didn’t show it, Gerald already knew why Yasmeen was treating him so differently compared to before.
After all, he was no longer a ‘poor student’ in her eyes after displaying how rich he was back at the auction.
“And who told you that I’m married? Whoever you’re thinking of, that man definitely isn’t my husband! Regardless,
since we’ve known each other since university, I’m sure you think that I’m the kind of woman who only focuses on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmoney and status rather than feelings. I’ll say it right here and now that I’m actually the complete opposite of that!
You know, women are extremely particular when it comes to their feelings… Even I long for love, and pure love at
that!”
“…I see.”
“…Anyway, just so you know, I’ve always felt that you were a particularly nice person, even from our university
days… You really give people a sense of security and warmth, you know? It’s something many women, including
me, yearn for! Women aren’t just only looking for wealth and luxury all the time! Sometimes the best things in life
for us can be exceedingly simple!” added Yasmeen as she smiled sweetly at Gerald.
Shaking his head in resignation, Gerald simply smiled bitterly before replying, “You’re only yearning for the ‘simple
things’ now since you know I’m rich… If I remained as poor as I used to be then you wouldn’t be saying all that!”
By this point, Gerald had already heard other women saying similar things to him countless times. As a result,
Yasmeen’s motive was clear as day to him.
In the past, he would’ve surely been too shy and embarrassed to retort to her. Now, however, he had grown way
too tired of listening to the same fake compliments over and over again.
“You!-”
Yasmeen was now blushing slightly, feeling extremely awkward at the same time. She truly hadn’t expected Gerald
to be this straightforward.
She was left even more flabbergasted when she saw him starting to walk off—with Wagner—without even bothering
to say anything else to her!
She had initially thought that she was perfectly capable of hooking up with Gerald due to her beauty. To her dismay,
he was completely unaffected by her charm!
Feeling both vexed and ashamed of herself, Yasmeen then thought to herself, ‘…Gerald’s so much more mature
now compared to how he used to be… He seems to give off an aura of security as well… I hate to admit it, but he
truly has become a true man!’
Not wanting to give up so easily, she then ran after him while shouting, “S-stop!”
Naturally, they didn’t and eventually, Gerald and Wagner arrived at the top of the mountain. However, there
actually seemed to be even more people crowded there compared to the foot of the mountain.
As Gerald looked around, he saw what seemed to be a few apprentices of Master Ghost standing before the closed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdoors of the Langvern Church.
They seemed to be actively prohibiting any visitors from entering.
“Let us in! We’ve already waited for a long time, you know? Why are you stopping us from entering?”
“Yeah! By the looks of it, the church may deteriorate soon and we won’t be able to meet the master then!”
For obvious reasons, several of the visitors there were complaining out loud at the apprentices.
“Today, the master will only be granting audience to a single acquaintance of his who comes from afar. For the rest
of you, please descend the hill and come back next time,” replied one of the apprentices.
“Then what if I pay you to see him? I intend to meet him today to have my love life foretold!” asked Yasmeen—who
had been walking by Gerald’s side for a while now—as she nudged Gerald’s arm slightly.
A look of disgust on his face, Gerald simply frowned before moving his arm away from hers.
‘Still… This Master Ghost is just a fortune teller, is he not…? To think that he’d put on such airs!’ Gerald thought to
himself, slightly amused.
As Gerald was thinking to himself, another visitor said, “Mister, I truly have some urgent issues to talk to him
about… Please state any conditions I could fulfill to meet him today!”
“There aren’t any. He simply refuses to meet anyone else today save for his acquaintance. Kindly leave, ladies and
gentlemen….” replied the apprentice as he shook his head.
The moment his sentence ended, the church’s doors suddenly creaked open…
