Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 307
“I’m sorry, Gerald. I’ve disgraced you too,” Queta wept. “I shouldn’t have come here, to a place like this!”
It was her birthday today and she was spending it with her only friend in the world. Even Queta’s feelings would be
hurt by such ridicule.
No one understood her feelings better than Gerald. He too had once been poor. Whenever his pride had been
trampled on like that, it felt like he was being stabbed through the heart.
When Queta was being attacked by those girls, Gerald had wanted to retaliate.
But if he’d done that, how much more would Queta suffer in class with them from that point onwards? Anyway, he
hadn’t really understood what was going on until the end, just as they were walking away, and it’s not as though
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGerald could chase after them and give them five across the face, right?
“Don’t mind it. The day will be over before you know it,” Gerald consoled her. “What you’ve got to do right now is
work hard at your studies!”
He wondered if he ought to ask Aiden to help look after her here.
Queta nodded vigorously.
“Wait right here for me. I’ve got to go get something. I’ll be right back!” Gerald told her with a smile, and then
slipped outside.
He was going to get her a cake.
Earlier, he’d placed an order online with a dessert shop on campus.
Outside, he had encountered two dozen young men and women crowding around a girl with sunglasses. They had
all gone inside together and everyone was wearing the latest fashions.
Gerald didn’t have any interest in them. Perhaps he’d heard that Linda girl mention something about someone’s
birthday? That was probably her, then.
Whatever.
Gerald found the dessert shop, which was just close to Surati. It took him another fifteen minutes to secure the
cake and then he headed back.
Now there was a massive crowd of students outside the restaurant. They were peering in through the entrance,
with some even taking pictures on their cell phones.
Something must have happened.
“Hot d*mn! I guess that girl must have pissed off Miss Liara! Really, now… of all the people to pick a fight with!”
“Lucky that it’s Miss Liara’s birthday today and she doesn’t want to make too big a fuss over it—otherwise, that girl
would be done for!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“But what exactly did she do wrong?”
“Seems like there was an old grudge from before. Sad…she’s quite the beauty. This is gonna be tragic!”
The onlookers were all in heated discussion over the matter.
Ignoring everything else, Gerald pushed his way through the crowd, and got a great shock!
Several girls were pulling Queta’s hair and holding her down on the floor.
One woman sat imperiously before her, one leg crossed over the other.
Queta’s face was red and raw, as though she’d been hit.
“Let her go!” Gerald roared. Charging in, he shoved away the girls around Queta.
“Hmph! So it really was the two of you…” The woman in charge here rose to her feet. “I’ve searched high and low
to no avail, but in the end you came to me on your own!”
Now that she’d opened her mouth to speak, Gerald finally remembered who she was.
It was the woman he’d quarrelled with, that night at the hospital.
She had connections to Damien Rye.
He hadn’t recognized her right away because she was made up in a different style today.
“Well? Why did this have to come to violence?” Gerald hollered in fury.
