The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 171

Gerald was truly shocked when Sara splashed the entire glass of red wine directly on Gerald.

Insane! This woman was absolutely insane!

“Sara, what is wrong with you?”

Felicity asked nervously because she did not know that Sara was seriously jealous because of her.

“I am fine, Felicity. I really feel very unwell today. So, I will go back first!”

Sara did not even want her cell phone anymore and simply left the room after grabbing her bag.

She also could not understand what was wrong with herself?

Brother Ordinary Man was indeed very powerful but he did not even know about her existence anyway. So, why was she so jealous because of Brother Ordinary Man?

Everyone did not know this.

They did not know how uncomfortable Sara felt when everyone was talking about how Ordinary Man had a crush on Felicity.

Women were born to be extremely jealous creatures.

This was even more apparent when a beautiful woman was facing another beautiful woman.

Therefore, even though she was angry, she could not get angry at Felicity. That was the reason why she chose to vent her anger and frustrations on this pathetic jerk, Gerald instead.

Anyway, she had never respected or looked up to Gerald before. Therefore, she simply ignored Gerald and left.

“Hmph! Gerald, this is all your fault! You must have made Sara angry and that is why she is leaving earlier! I really regret it. Why did I allow you to come along with us today?”

Felicity said as she glared coldly at Gerald.

Gerald did not have time to be bothered about Felicity. He wanted to take revenge against Sara.

Therefore, he also followed suit and walked out of the room directly.

Oh! She was thinking of leaving after she poured red wine all over his face and scolded himself like this?

Gerald was no longer the same Gerald that he was before.

She really wanted to give Sara a slap across her face.

However, after running out of the room to chase after her, Sara’s figure was nowhere to be seen at all. This made Gerald feel very angry and furious.

At this time, Gerald suddenly received a text message on his cell phone.

At first glance, it was a text message sent by his classmate, Layla.

It seemed as though Layla seemed a little unwell today. So, that was the reason why she did not come to attend Felicity’s celebration banquet today.

Gerald’s eyelids started twitching when he saw the content of the message.

“Gerald, can you tell me why people often suffer and feel a lot of pain? I will only drag my family down with me. I cannot do anything to help my family at all. I have worked hard and struggled my whole entire life but I cannot be compared to others at all. I am completely useless. My father cannot even lift his head high and my family cannot even afford to buy my sister any new clothes. Now that my sister is ill, as her elder sister, I am so powerless and helpless and I can only watch her suffer because we cannot afford to send her to the hospital. My family has already spent all their money to pay for my education but I can’t even do anything for them in return!”

“Gerald, why don’t you tell me how I can set myself free from all this pain and sufferings?”

Layla sent a very long text message to him.

Gerald suddenly understood that something had happened to Layla’s family. She could not do anything to help her family and she is blaming herself for it. Gerald could hear that something was not right, based on Layla’s last sentence.

This made Gerald panic a little.

Layla was a member of the poverty group. She usually did not speak much but Gerald had been observing her in secret. Although she was very inferior on the surface, she had a very competitive heart and spirit.

She wanted to be better than everyone else.

Moreover, he could see that she had greater pursuits and she really wanted to live a carefree life.

She had even stronger ambitions compared to him.

However, the reality was often very cruel. The more a person hoped for something, the more it would happen to go in the opposite direction.

Therefore, this depressing problem in Layla’s heart had already existed for more than just a day or two. Now that her sister had fallen ill, her family must not have any money and she did not have any money too.

Therefore, this must have seriously hurt her self-esteem.

Gerald understood this feeling very well.

He was worried that she would do something stupid. Therefore, Gerald hurriedly said:

“Layla, where are you? Are you in the dormitory?”

“Yes, I am here!”

Layla responded very quickly. There were very few people that she could chat with in class. Gerald was the one that she could talk to the most.

Since Gerald did not know where the live broadcast anchor Sara had gone, Gerald knew that he would definitely face the ridicule of Felicity and the others if he went back now.

However, Gerald did not want to expose his own identity.

Although he did not have a very close relationship with Layla, both of them had worked together for the past three years because they were all members of the poverty group. Therefore, Gerald could not bear to see Layla continue suffering like this.

He did not return to the room and he called for a cab before he headed directly to the girls’ dormitory and registered his name with the aunty downstairs.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 172

He arrived at Layla’s dormitory door.

“Gerald?”

Layla, who had cried until her eyes were red and swollen, opened the door. She was obviously very surprised when she saw Gerald.

“Layla, are you okay? I came to see you!”

Gerald quickly replied.

“I am fine. I do not want to trouble you. Anyway, I feel that my existence in this world is superfluous and I will only drag many people down with me if I continue living in this world!”

Layla sat on the edge of her bed as she covered her eyes and started crying again.

“What nonsense are you talking about, Layla? In fact, I used to be just like you. Ever since I was young, my father told me that my family was very poor and we owed people a lot of money. My sister did not even finish high school and she went out to work at a young age because of me. My sister was actually very smart and she did very well in her studies but she gave up on her high school exams because of me!”

Gerald wanted to persuade Layla. Perhaps it was because both of them were very poor, Gerald could not help but think of his past self.

It proved to be very effective. Layla stopped crying as she looked at Gerald.

Gerald continued speaking:

“Do you know how much psychological pressure I was facing at that time? Do you know how much responsibility I was carrying on my shoulders at that time because my family had placed all of their hopes on me? That was the reason why I tried hard to study desperately. I desperately wanted to stand out so that I would not be looked down on.”

“But what could I do? I was still being bullied and insulted often. I feel inferior when I compare myself to others. Because of my own inferiority, I did not even dare to speak to girls when I saw them because I was afraid that they would look down on me!”

“In fact, they really looked down on me and they would often talk and gossip about me. However, I would often tell myself that I have to continue living a good life because all of these humiliations would pass eventually. Moreover, I also begin to understand one truth!”

Gerald was filled with emotions as he spoke.

Layla hurriedly asked, “What is that truth?”

“A person should think and do things according to the stage that they are at. This is the only way not to be in too much pain and suffering. You are still studying and gaining more knowledge at this time, but you are constantly thinking about how you are going to earn money and make more money. Is that realistic?”

“Yes, I really want to make a lot of money but I cannot do it. However, it is only natural for you to say all this now. After all, you won the lottery and you have better luck compared to everyone else!”

Layla replied depressingly.

“I am indeed luckier than others. However, you have to believe that something like that will happen to you one day too! In short, all things will pass sooner or later. You do not have to feel so stressed and depressed all the time because of this. Instead, what you should be thinking of now is a solution to this matter!”

Gerald advised.

Layla lowered her head before she said, “Okay, okay. I understand now. Thank you, Gerald. Let me think about it!”

Gerald had never persuaded anyone before this, nor did he know how to persuade anyone at all.

However, since he knew about Layla’s problem now, and since she was actually a pretty good classmate, he definitely had to help her since he encountered this incident himself.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

At this time, there was a loud slamming noise outside the dormitory door.

It felt as though someone was going to break down the door from the outside.

After that, Layla walked over and opened the door immediately.

At this time, a chubby middle-aged woman rushed into the room. She had a very broad face and her eyebrows were tattooed and it looked as though she had two caterpillars crawling on her face.

“I was wondering why you didn’t open the door! You little btch! It is simply because you have a man in your room! Your dad was even saying that you were studying hard at school! Pfft! You little btch!”

“Mom! Don’t say that! Gerald is my classmate and he came here to see me!”

Layla cried out.

“Don’t call me mom! I am not your mother! You! What are you looking at? Are you trying to force yourself on my daughter? Do you believe that I will call the police now?”

The middle-aged woman took out her cell phone immediately.

Layla started panicking and she immediately said, “Gerald, you should leave first. Thank you for everything today!”

“Okay!”

Gerald really wanted to scold this crazy woman but he knew that he should not say anything because no matter what it was, she was still Layla’s mother.

“How can a mother be acting like this?”

Gerald simply muttered a sentence before he left.

He really could not help but wonder if Layla’s mother was really her biological mother since she was scolding Layla and calling her a little b*tch as soon as she saw her.

After encountering and getting scolded by crazy women, one after the other today, Gerald was in a bad mood.

He wanted to go and take a walk in the park to relax a little.

At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from his sister, Jessica.

Gerald answered the phone immediately and he was about to ask his sister about Mayberry Commercial Street.

Unexpectedly, his sister’s nervous voice sounded over the other end of the line as soon as the call was connected:

“Brother! Something bad has happened. Your sister has gotten into big trouble!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 173

”Ah? Sister, what big trouble could you possibly get in?”

Gerald felt very nervous.

He had a very close and deep relationship with his sister. Gerald was not lying to Layla when he mentioned that his sister did not take the high school examination in order to support his own education.

Both the siblings were very poor at that time.

Therefore, his sister dropped out of his high school examination directly.

There were also countless unforgettable things that his sister had done for him.

“Don’t mention it, brother. You should already know some of the strict and perverted rules that our family has! One of these rules is that no matter how much money you spend, you have to keep a record of it!”

“Even if you spend a small amount such as a few millions of dollars, all of it has to be reflected in the family’s records. You should not hide anything from the family at all! This is also the same for you! All of your spending on your bank card now are all recorded in our family’s records!”

“Oh, oh, yes. I know this!”

This was a rule of the Crawford family. You could spend as much money as you had and you could use the family’s money at will as you pleased. However, you would not be allowed to hide the money from the person who is at the helm of your family. That would be their father.

They were also not allowed to hide any money under any other names.

“Sister, do you have any unrecorded money?”

Gerald asked.

“Yes! D*mn it! I just found out about it today! When I had just gotten out of my poverty, I used the fifteen million dollars that mom gave to me for various consumption. One day, I drank a little too much and I wanted to eat something from a franchise so I asked my assistant to buy one for me!”

“D*mn it! Do you know what the idiot did? He bought this franchise over for nine million dollars! That franchise was not popular at that time but after so many years, that shop suddenly became very popular and it has already made a profit of more than three hundred million dollars now! I did not pay any attention to this matter at all because who would have expected that fool to buy the franchise over directly?”

“Then, I thought of spending the three hundred million dollars in secret! However, after spending only half of it, dad suddenly became aware of the situation! He was wondering why there seemed to be no movement in the family’s money even though I have already bought so many things! I am really scared! I broke the family’s rule so I will have to live a life of poverty for one month! Our dad is very old-fashioned and he really abides by the rules. It would be useless even if mom tries to intercede on my behalf!”

“I was wondering what the big deal was. Don’t you just have to live in poverty for one month? It will pass by very soon!”

Gerald could not help but wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. His sister really loved to make a fuss.

“No! Brother, I cannot even stand living in poverty for one day, let alone one whole month! I don’t care! No matter what it is, you have to help your sister!”

His sister was about to cry over the phone.

“Okay. Okay. How am I supposed to help you?”

“Well, you can help me to spend the remaining one hundred and fifty million dollars for me within the next seven days! Don’t leave even a single cent behind! Dad cannot supervise you in detail since you are not living with the family now!”

“Huff!”
