Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 736

Vincy was stuck between a rock and a hard place. After all, she was the one who invited Gerald. But now her two

best friends were in a squabble with each other, so it was only natural that she started feeling anxious about it.

“A trivial affair? Vincy, do you really think that what happened during our high school days was just a trivial affair?”

Seems like Xyla still harbored resentment towards Gerald for what had happened ages ago.

“You remember the competition we participated in that year, and we won. After we came back, the school treated

the twenty of us to a meal in the city. After the meal, there were only a few of us left. Hence, we played truth or

dare. I was defeated, so I had to choose a person there to confess my love to. Did you forget about that?”

Xyla said.

“Of course I remember it. I know that you didn’t like Gerald back then. But in order to play safe, you confessed your

love to him. Still remember how he just came back from helping out the teacher when you did that. You told him

that you liked him!”

Vincy recalled the incident which happened in the past.

“But in the end, Gerald said that we were unsuited for each other in front of everyone. I was left speechless and

helpless. I can’t believe that the loser really thought that I liked him! I get furious every time I remember his face

when he said that to me. All of the students in our class pointed their fingers and laughed at me. They joked that

even a person like Gerald didn’t like me. The boy who I truly had a crush on was just there at the side. Do you know

how great a humiliation I was forced to accept?”

Xyla said.

“But do you know why Gerald claimed that you were unsuited for each other? It’s because Gerald felt that he was

poor and that he was not a match for you. You’re overthinking things. Besides, he also knew that your feelings

weren’t genuine, so perhaps he blurted out things that he didn’t mean to say. Didn’t you always dislike him because

he’s poor? You didn’t even want to sit beside him in the car. That’s why Gerald was afraid of you!”

Vincy quickly made up an explanation to calm Xyla down.

“What? That loser! I must make him regret it! Besides, I was not the only one who disliked him because he was

poor. Vincy, weren’t you the same? Don’t think that I didn’t notice. You liked Gerald during that time. But you didn’t

want to go into a relationship because of how broke he was back then, didn’t you!?”

Xyla was just a blabbermouth. The moment she started talking, she would talk about literally everything.

What she said made Vincy blush. She had just blurted out the thing which haunted Vincy’s mind to this day.

On the other hand, Lennard’s facial expression turned sour all of a sudden. ‘No wonder Vincy turned me down

when I confessed to her back then. I had no idea that she liked Gerald at that time.’

Then, he recalled how nice Vincy had been treating Gerald. So that was why she acted in such a friendly manner

towards him?

Lennard’s eyes were filled with a tinge of jealousy.

It was totally a different thing now. Previously, Lennard did not intervene when Vincy was being nice to Gerald. It

was because he didn’t even see Gerald as a rival in love. No way in a million years Vincy would fall for Gerald, right?

But now, the realization made Lennard’s heart skip a beat.

It turns out, things had been that way all this while.

Lennard looked at Vincy. Her face was flushed red, which only served to confirm his fears.

What Xyla said had hit Vincy’s sore spot.

Xyla was right. Vincy did like Gerald back in high school.

But Gerald was poor. Vincy did give it a try. But doubts started to spring up when she thought further about it.

‘How would my classmates view me? What would they say about me?’

In the end, she did not reach that stage, and she gave up the chance to deepen her relationship with Gerald.

But it did not stop Vincy from wishing that Gerald would become much better.

Doubt, even if only present in one party’s mind in a romantic relationship, was enough to sink the ship sooner or

later.

At that moment, the atmosphere became weird.

Gerald did not hear the conversation between Xyla and Vincy.

But the driver beside him said, “Isn’t that Chairman Lighton’s son—Leon? My chairman said that Leon came today,

representing his father. He asked us to go and be nice to him, wants us to express our gratitude to him. After all,

Chairman Lighton was the reason why we had so many projects waiting for us. People like them will forever rule

over us regular folks, doncha think?”

“That’s right. Chairman Wacket even made it clear that we should at least go and give him a toast to show our

sincerity and gratitude!”

A few of the drivers and secretaries discussed.

Leon’s family had their own company. It was rather normal for them to have certain kinds of cooperation and

partnership with other companies, it wasn’t uncommon for these companies to become dependent on them for

financial or capital support.

In other words, it wasn’t a bad idea to suck up to him.

“Fine. Since they’ve said it explicitly let’s go there together before the event starts!”

A female secretary said.

Then, that group of people stood up directly.

“Why aren’t yacomin’ with us brother?”

At that moment, the driver, who was sitting beside Gerald, patted Gerald’s shoulder lightly.

Clearly, Gerald was being treated as a driver by these folks…
