    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 407


    “What was that?” Gerald couldn’t believe his ears.


    Stay a few days, at his ce? How would he be cool with that? He talked to M every day, and on that


    note: He was spoken for right now—just that his girlfriend was abroad at present—and yet he’d be


    living together with another woman?


    Even if the rest of the world was cool with it, Gerald certainly wasn’t! What madness was this?


    “No way, forget it!” he answered.


    “Oh… haha, it’s alright… I thought someone would be willing to help me, but I get it now…” Giya’s


    voice was barely more than a whisper.


    “Has something happened over there?” Gerald asked, intrigued.


    Come to think of it, Giya was hardly the sort of girl to suddenly run off to crash at some guy’s ce for


    a few days without rhyme or reason. Had she fallen for him?


    Hah! As though Gerald thought that highly of himself… He was only asking out of curiosity.


    After a pause, Giya suddenly announced, “I’m getting engaged!”


    “Oh, congrat—” As Gerald began to respond to this, he suddenly realized there had been something


    odd in her tone. Changing tack, he instead tried, “That’s wonderful news! Who’s the lucky fellow?”


    “Yacob Lincoln. My dad’s business has recently hit some rough waters, so he’s hoping to win the


    patronage of the Lincoln family to help us get through this. Meanwhile, Yacob’s been after my hand,


    and when his dad brought up the subject of us getting married… well, Yacob’s dad helped save my


    mom, too—so my dad said yes! Now I’m engaged to Yacob!


    “But I don’t want to be engaged to anyone, you know? This whole thing feels like a nightmare! I had so


    many ns… I didn’t think I’d even consider marriage until I was thirty! But here I am, not even finished


    with university yet, and already engaged to somebody—somebody I don’t like! I just don’t know what I


    should do!”


    “I’m looking for a ce to hide—but Yacob knows all my friends, and he’ll definitely be able to find me


    through them—that’s why I came to you, but you’re leaving me out to dry!” Somewhere along the way,


    Giya had started sobbing.


    Gerald felt he more or less understood, now. Indeed, it was a heavy burden for anyone to have to bear.


    Furthermore, it wasn’t as though her predicament had nothing at all to do with him…


    After all, when Giya’s mother was saved, the one behind it had actually been Gerald. He’d kept quiet


    about that, in order to minimize his involvement with Giya.


    Turns out, the Lincolns had taken full credit for it, and had been holding it over Giya’s family. In that


    sense, it was also Gerald’s fault that Giya had now been forced into her current dilemma!


    So, now what?


    It was obvious that Giya was seeking asylum somewhere—and that, by running away from home, she


    hoped to apply pressure upon her father. That was why she’d sought him out.


    If he turned her away, would she be forced into that marriage, after all? To be perfectly honest, a girl


    like Giya falling into the clutches of a guy like Yacob, it was akin to feeding caviar to pigs. Even Gerald


    himself considered it a crime against nature.


    If he agreed to help her… how would he exin it to M?


    But he already knew that he’d never forgive himself for abandoning Giya now. He’d nted these


    seeds himself—now he had to reap the harvest!


    “Alright, you cane stay with me,” Gerald said, “But I’m not at my family home—I’m staying in the


    city. Also… Once this matter has been settled, out you go!”


    Since he was the one to me for all this, it naturally fell to him to resolve the problem. The solution


    was simple: He’d reveal his true identity! Problem solved.


    It would be okay to let Giyae over, because he had it all nned out.


    Giya was jubnt. “Alright! You got it! Thanks, Gerald! You’re the best! Don’t worry, I’m only doing this


    to give my daddy a scare! Once he annuls the engagement, we’ll be in the clear!”


    After the call ended, Gerald had some thoughts about the nature of impropriety.


    Well, toote for regrets—he’d already said yes!


    Anyway, he was renting a suite here, which was convenient for having guests over—besides takingExclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    care of Mr Winters, he also had to meet with Zack Lyle and the others regrly. It wasn’t merely a one-


    bedded room.


    Gerald had decided to drop the ruse with Giya, and let her know who he really was!


    First thing the next morning, Giya arrived by train. Gerald drove to the station in his Mercedes-Benz


    G500 to get her. If not because he’d left it behind at the Mountain Top Vi, he would have taken his


    Lamborghini instead.


    If he was going to reveal his big secret to her, as part of helping to resolve this matter, Gerald was sure


    that all he needed to do was show off a little.
