The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 761-770

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 761

Since there were so many people present earlier and she was already feeling so uncomfortable back then, Vincy had gotten off the electric tricycle in a hurry. She must’ve forgotten to take her bag along with her at that moment!

“Oh no, how careless of you! Did you have a lot of cash in it?” asked Xyla.

“Having my money stolen is the last thing I’m worried about! I just hope that Gerald eventually notices it! If it gets left behind, my cell phone, identity card, and bank cards will all be gone!” replied Vincy.

“Hey! Why are you doing back here? Does this look like a car park to you?”

At that moment, a commotion could be heard from the entrance. Upon closer inspection, a few security guards seemed to be trying to prevent a young man from entering the area.

“My friend’s forgotten her bag! I just want to pass it to her!”

The young man in question was none other than Gerald!

“Have a good look at what kind of place this is! Do you think that anyone can just enter this place all willy-nilly? Scram!” shouted the security personnel as they began pushing Gerald away.

Since Xyla and Vincy had both been so close to the entrance when that scene happened, they were able to witness the entire thing.

“Good god! Just look at how embarrassing that guy is! Hurry up and take your bag so that we can make him leave already!” replied Xyla anxiously.

Her anxiety stemmed from the fact that a few rich-looking young men were also looking at Gerald. All of them seemed to be ridiculing him as though he was nothing but a joke.

It was natural for people to want to be prideful before their peers. If her peers ever found out that she was acquainted with such a worthless person as Gerald, then she’d definitely be made fun of as well!

Hearing Xyla’s words, Vincy immediately ran toward Gerald before saying, “I’m here, Gerald! You can hand my bag over to me now!”

While she also wanted to thank Gerald, somehow, the words just never came.

The situation was similar to her high school days. After all, Vincy had slight feelings for Gerald back then. However, she never ended up telling him about it since she wanted to keep her face.

It was at that moment when Vincy realized that not much had changed since then.

Instead of stating her appreciation, she simply said that she needed to go back inside before turning around again.

“Gerald!” shouted a high-pitched female voice out of the blue. It seemed to have come from the stage area.

Finding the voice familiar, Gerald scanned through the crowd and saw that it had come from the young lady of the Larson family, Elena! She and her father had come from Mayberry city, and both of them were standing among what seemed to be a few chairmen who worked under her father’s group.

“Is that really you, Gerald? On our way here, I saw someone riding an electric tricycle who’s back looked similar to yours! I told my father about it but he said it was simply preposterous to think that you’d ride an electric tricycle! To think that my initial guess was right!” said Elena rather excitedly.

Everyone was utterly shocked when they heard that. The young lady of the Larson family actually had a friend who rode on electric tricycles?

“Who is that guy? Isn’t Miss Larson treating him quite well?”

“Indeed! Maybe he’s one of her classmates?”

As the guests discussed among themselves in surprise, Xyla herself was breathing quite heavily at that moment.

‘Elena actually knew Gerald? How on earth did Gerald know so many people?’

“Oh? Elena and Mr. Larson! You’re both here too?” replied Gerald as his gaze momentarily wandered to the front of the stage.

Who he saw, however, surprised him. Standing before the stage, was Xavion!

It was at that moment when Gerald remembered that Xavion had earlier given him a call, inviting him to a party. However, since he was confronting Xyla when Xavion had called, Gerald had turned down the invitation.

Little did he know that the party Xyla and Vincy were attending was the one he was invited to!

“‘You’re both here too’? This kid is really something else! Doesn’t he know how to speak respectfully at all?”

“I know right? Referring to Mr. Larson and his daughter as ‘all of you’… How preposterous!”

“Agreed!”

“Say, Xyla? Vincy? Isn’t he your classmate?” asked Leon out of the blue as he shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

“We don’t know him at all!” replied Xyla instantly.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 762

Vincy herself simply lowered her head without saying a word.

Meanwhile, Xavion finally realized that Gerald was present and when he did, he became so excited that his lips began trembling.

“M-Mr. Crawford! You’re here!”

Assuming that Gerald hadn’t wanted to attend the party since he looked down on all the ordinary rich people who were attending, Xavion didn’t continue pestering him after that call. Yet here he was, standing before him right now!

“Greetings, Mr. Crawford!” said Mr. Larson and his group, replying to Gerald’s earlier greeting as they took a step forward before bowing slightly before him.

At that moment, silence enveloped the entire area. Many of the guests were so surprised that their jaws were now hanging wide.

Why were all these wealthy and powerful figures bowing down to this young man who had arrived on an electric tricycle?

What more, Chairman Gordon appeared to be trembling earlier as he spoke!

Xyla’s breathing was growing heavier by the minute. Her mind was completely blank and her mouth was so wide open that one could stuff an entire hard boiled egg into it.

“M-Mr. Crawford?! Did… Did they actually just refer to Gerald as Mr. Crawford?! How could that be possible?!”

Vincy was too shocked to even think of a reply. She had no idea what was going on anymore.

“Is… Is he really Mr. Crawford of Mayberry?!”

It was a brief moment later when the crowd of people began getting noisy again as they exchanged gazes with each other in shock.

“Chairman Gordon and Chairman Larson! You’re being way too polite. I honestly hadn’t expected you to be organizing this event!” replied Gerald, feeling slightly embarrassed.

His embarrassment was warranted since he could now feel people staring at him both left and right. Everyone seemed to be experiencing complicated emotions as they continued looking at Gerald.

Though he felt awkward, Gerald simply walked into the hotel in a naturally poised manner.

Xyla could only stare in astonishment as Gerald walked past her and headed straight for the stage.

Realizing that Gerald was coming closer, Chairman Gordon immediately stood up from the middle seat and gestured for Gerald to take it as he said, “Please, have this seat, Mr. Crawford!”

After saying then, he then looked at the rest of the guests before saying, “Everyone, we have a very distinguished guest today! This is Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, an extremely wealthy and powerful figure who also owns Mountain Top Villa!”

As the audience went wild from the confirmation that Gerald truly was the one and only, Mr. Crawford, sudden laughter akin to a madwoman’s pierced through all the noise.

Everyone then turned to stare at the girl who had made such a crazed laugh.

“What are you laughing at, Xyla?” asked Leon who had also been taken aback by her maniacal laughter.

“Haha! What do you mean what am I laughing at? I’m laughing at Gerald, of course! How incredible of him to have deceived so many people! But what’s even more unbelievable is the fact that everyone here actually believes that he’s Mr. Crawford! Don’t any of you find that to be a rather ridiculous claim?” replied Xyla as she walked forward, continuing to laugh.

Upon hearing what she had to say, several of the wealthy businessmen on stage began frowning. This was especially so for Chairman Gordon as he glared at Xyla.

“What do you even think you’re saying? Men! Toss her out of this place immediately!” shouted Xavion angrily.

“Don’t get me wrong, Chairman Gordon. I have no intention of offending you at all! I just hope that you won’t continue being fooled by that guy. After all, I was his high school classmate! I know all about his past and his living conditions very well! Vincy is aware of it too! He’s nothing more than a pauper who can’t even afford to pay for his own meals!”

Once the audience heard that, everyone simultaneously heaved secret sighs of relief. Could this be a fake Mr. Crawford after all?

Seeing how everyone seemed to believe her now, Xyla grew even cockier than before. If everything continued going well, then she would be able to successfully show off in front of all these influential business people!

Claiming that Gerald was actually Mr. Crawford? What a joke! It was simply impossible!

Xyla then turned to look at Gerald, a look of contempt on her face as she laughed before saying, “I bet you didn’t expect this, right, Gerald? I’m here today so that you won’t be able to continue fooling Chairman Gordon and the others!”

Under no circumstances would she ever willingly believe that he was actually Mr. Crawford!

In response, Gerald simply shook his head with a wry smile on his face.

Xavion expressed a similarly wry smile as he said, “Hahaha! Really now… It seems that this young lady has had a huge misunderstanding about Mr. Crawford…”

“He really is Mr. Crawford! The one and only owner of the Dream Investment Group!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 763

Hearing Chairman Gordon’s stern voice, Xyla could no longer bring herself to laugh out loud anymore.

…Was… Was it really true?

Even from back then, Xyla had always hated it whenever she saw Gerald’s desperate face. She just couldn’t ever take him seriously.

It had just been a few years since they had last met… Had Gerald really changed that much?

Why were so many wealthy and influential figures being so respectful and courteous to him?

How could any of this truly be?

As all these questions echoed in Xavia’s mind, Gerald simply ignored her, opting instead to continue talking with Chairman Gordon and the others.

The event then resumed for about half an hour before Gerald bid farewell to Chairman Gordon and the rest. He had honestly wanted to leave for quite a while now.

As he left the hotel, a large group of people followed to see him off.

Before he was able to leave, Elena whispered something into her father’s ear before sticking her tongue out. She wanted to leave together with Gerald and her father naturally agreed.

Xyla herself was feeling extremely anxious as she exited the hotel together with Vincy to see Gerald off.

When they finally caught sight of him again, Gerald had just gotten on his electric tricycle. This time, however, Elena was sitting behind him.
