    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 324


    Harper repeated his question, his voice full of anxiety.


    However, Yvonne simply ignored him and walked toward Gerald’s bed.


    “Get up immediately, Gerald!” she sneered.


    She then pulled Gerald’s nket off him without bothering to consider what he had on at the moment.


    Once he was in in view, she yanked him off the bed recklessly.


    “What are you doing?!” Gerald yelped as his hands moved to cover his crotch.

    These women were terrifying.


    But instead of answering his question, Yvonne simply began rummaging through his things. Not too far


    away, both Cassandra and Felicity had their arms crossed as they watched the scene y out. Naomi


    simply hid in a corner.


    “Counselor, Felicity! I found his coat and phone here!” Yvonne shouted as she held the two items up for


    them to see.


    All the girls were stunned. All of them were thinking the same thing. ‘So it wasn’t Gerald after all!’


    They felt relief wash over them as if they were prisoners who had just been freed after many years.


    This was especially the case for Cassandra who felt almost overjoyed. ‘I’m d it wasn’t him.’


    After calming themselves down, they soon came to the realization that all the men in the dormitory


    were staring at them in shock.


    Cassandra coughed before clearing her throat. She then asked, “Gerald, after you received a call from


    Naomi asking for help, where exactly did you go? And what were you doing at the time?”


    “Well I was nervous of course, and I wanted to call the police. Before I could, Xyleena sent me a


    message asking me where Naomi was and I told her what I knew. She immediately arranged for some


    people to rescue you. I’m d to see that all of you are safe and sound,” said Gerald with a smile on


    his face.


    “…It seems you hit the nail on the head, Counselor. So much for overthinking earlier! We really were


    saved by Naomi’s cousin!” shouted Yvonne excitedly.


    “And why don’t you wear pajamas when you sleep? Disgusting!”


    After condemning Gerald onest time, the women were finally willing to leave.


    Naomi however, stayed back for a while to exin to Gerald about the incidents that had happened.


    Gerald couldn’t help but smile bitterly. ‘Thank god I reacted quickly enough…’ thought Gerald to


    himself.


    The truth was that he had been extremely nervous throughout the entire rescue mission. He was


    sweating profusely so he had to take off his coat in the car.


    Before the limousine arrived, he spent every second nervously observing the girls as they left the


    building. He did so through hisptop which had ess to a surveince camera.


    Once he actually entered the limousine, his eyes were still glued onto theptop’s monitor. It took him a


    while, but he eventually realized that his coat and phone were still in the previous car.


    In his mind, Gerald knew that his identity would definitely be exposed if he didn’t act swiftly.


    In the nick of time, an idea came to him. He immediately went off to get a simr phone and jacket.


    However, he could only hope that the battery in his old phone died quickly so that the phone would turn


    off on its own. If someone made a call before the phone died, it would all be over.


    Thankfully, the phone seemed to have died before they managed to call him.


    To be safe, Gerald even canceled his number at thest minute so that the phone would no longer be


    able to receive any calling signals.


    From that point on, Gerald would have little need to contact the women aside from Naomi.


    ‘There’s no reason for me to expose my identity to them.’


    The night had been an anxiously eventful one, but they somehow managed to subdue all the danger in


    time. It was finally time to get a well deserved rest.


    A few hourster, Saturday morning came.


    It was ten in the morning and Gerald was doing some revision in his dorm.


    Out of the blue, Naomi gave him a call.


    Though he canceled his number the night before, Gerald had told Zack to help register his number


    again with his ID before he slept. It wasn’t exactly a difficult task.


    Earlier that morning, Gerald had gone to the service hall to retrieve his new contact number card.


    “Good morning, Gerald. My cousin came to visit today and after the chaos yesterday, she’s nning to


    hold a feast for a table at a restaurant near our college. I’m indebted to you for your help yesterday.


    Pleasee! My cousin could even arrange a job for you. Harper and the others are free to attend as


    well.”


    “I think I’ll pass. Besides, I hardly helped at all,” Gerald said, a bitter smile on his face.


    “You had bettere immediately, Gerald. Otherwise, I’lle to your dorm to invite you over


    personally! On a serious note, my cousin really wishes to express her gratitude toward you.”


    “Well… Alright, we’ll be there soon.”


    Gerald couldn’t bring himself to decline Naomi’s invitation. In truth, he had indeed helped them. It was


    fine to indulge himself with a simple meal like this every once in a while.


    The problem wasn’t meeting up with Naomi. Gerald was simply reluctant to meet up with her cousin.
