    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 452


    Lilian looked at Gerald reproachfully, “You did a pretty good job but I don’t want you to be touching me.


    Do you really think that I am your girlfriend?”


    “Oh? So, now that Hayward’s gone, what should we do?” asked a perplexed Gerald.

    “Hmph! Don’t worry. He will definitelye back for me… One, Two, Three…”


    Lilian counted with her fingers when suddenly, Sharon’s voice suddenly came over her shoulder.


    “Hayward, what are you doing?”


    “Lilian, there are some things that I need to clear up with you. I don’t know what you think of me now,


    but I admit I was wrong for not standing up for you when Sharon hit you yesterday. I’ve been regretting


    it a lot. I sincerely hope that you’ll give me a chance. I wish to prove that I am way stronger and


    capablepared to a nouveau riche like Gerald!” replied Hayward, his tone contrite, much humbler


    than he always sounded.


    Obviously, his self-esteem seemedpletely diminished, which was once held so highly by him.


    Gerald couldn’t help feeling a deep sense of admiration toward Lilian as he watched the scene unfold


    from the sidelines.


    “But I already have Gerald, a guy who has a luxury car, and he’s about to buy me lots of branded


    cosmetics and bags too! What about you? What can you offer me?” Lilian asked in response.


    “Wow! So, you and Gerald are together simply because he’s wealthier than me, right?” Hayward asked


    in disappointment and disbelief.


    Gerald remembered how the conversation sounded eerily familiar. Wasn’t that what Xavia said at the


    small grove the other day?


    Hepletely understood what was going on; it wasn’t because Hayward really loved Lilian but rather,


    a question of the very fabric of the dignity of a man.


    It had always been the case, whether he liked it or not. Men like Hayward, with a wall of ego


    surrounding him, would never be able to swallow the fact that the person who was once head-over-


    heels for him was now in love with someone else.


    He desired to conquer Lilian in her entirety to reim his dignity.


    “Say whatever you like! Let’s go for a ride, Gerald.”


    Lilian then grabbed Gerald’s arm before the two headed off to his car.


    “Get out of my way! You’re standing in my way,” said Gerald as he patted Hayward gently on his chest


    before walking towards the parking lot.


    Unwilling to yield, Hayward chased after the two.


    “Gerald, can I drive your car? I have never driven something this good before,” begged Lilian with a


    sparkle in her eye.


    “Yeah sure! Here, take the keys,” Gerald grinned as he tossed the car keys to Lilian.


    “Lilian… don’t go! Please. Can you just listen to me? I was wrong. I was really wrong! Can you please


    just give me another chance? I will cherish and treasure you more than Gerald ever would! From now, I


    will buy you whatever you want as long as I can afford it! Allow me the chance to prove that I am


    definitely a hundred times more capable than Gerald!” Hayward implored Lilian as he held her arm


    tightly.


    “Is that so? But don’t you already have Sharon?” Lilian asked as she looked at Hayward with using


    eyes.


    Hayward looked into Sharon’s eyes, lowering his tone by a notch. “I’m sorry, Sharon. I just discovered


    that Lilian is the person I really love. Let’s end this.”


    “Hayward? How could you?!”


    In a dejecting mix of rage, anger, and confusion, Sharon instantly broke into a fit of tears, weeping and


    sobbing uncontrobly.


    A smile finally appeared on Lilian’s face. She felt that her pride had been rightfully restored and a


    sense of satisfaction and contentment filled her heart.


    As for Hayward, Lilian had taken advantage of his ego and pride, knowing how he would undoubtedly


    be stimted once he found out that she had gotten a far more capable boyfriend than him.


    After all, no matter how beautiful a person turned out to be, her value would certainly depreciate if


    nobody pursued her. Not to mention how countless gorgeous women were walking the earth.


    That would all change the moment a capable man of robust standing was head over heels for you. It


    was then that your value would skyrocket beyond the bounds of social strata.


    Otherwise, even if a man finally managed to capture your heart, they wouldn’t cherish you anyway.


    Through this, Lilian’s importance to Hayward had far surpassed that of Sharon.


    After all, Murphy, Sharon’s ex-boyfriend’s capabilities were simply no threat to Hayward at all.


    Hayward grabbed Lilian’s hand as he continued to speak to her.


    Gerald felt strangely embarrassed, and since he just had a massive mug of coffee, he had to use the


    toilet urgently.


    “This time, since I can tell you’re sincere, Hayward, I promise to be with you then.”


    Lilian replied with a smile on her face when she saw that her goal had been achieved.


    At that moment…


    “Eh? What a coincidence, Miss Cole! You are here? I happened to be looking for you…” said a woman.


    When Lilian caught a glimpse of the person walking towards her, her pupils instantly contracted…
