    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 554


    “…Oh yeah. So Sharon, why are you looking for a job now? What about Hayward?” asked Gerald.


    Though he used to have a crush on her, he no longer had any feelings for her.


    “Ah, well, after Hayward found out that you’re Mr. Crawford, he was so shocked that he refused to


    leave his house for days. Besides, he knew about our past rtionship, so…”


    Sharon stopped there and simply left her sentence hanging.


    ‘…Ah, so Sharon’s looking for a job partially because of me!’ Gerald thought to himself.


    Gerald then shed an awkward smile before saying, “But you know, I’m still truly ttered, haha!


    Remember back in high school? The best birthday I’ve ever had then was in the canteen!”


    Hearing that, both Sharon and Xe began reminiscing. During high school, almost everyone refused


    to hang out with Gerald, and his birthday didn’t change that fact.


    His birthday that year had been on result day, and everyone had to go back to high school during the


    holidays to get their certificates. It was Xe and Sharon who had suggested that they celebrate


    Gerald’s birthday in the canteen. They wanted to celebrate it with him before he joined the military.


    The two girls, along with Lilian, had bought arge cake for Gerald back then. Lilian was there since


    she was close to Sharon and though she was slightly hesitant at first, she still ended up celebrating his


    birthday with him anyway.


    That was the first time Gerald ever had cake, and he felt extremely touched. That was the moment


    when he decided to stay friends with them for eternity.


    Now, however, he realized how one-sided that decision had been


    When university started, he continued staying in touch with both Xe and Sharon. Eventually,


    however, both of them started ghosting him. They didn’t bother to even reply to any of his texts.

    Two yearster, Gerald was excited when he bumped into Sharon in Mayberry. Sharon had to admit


    that since he was still so friendly and talkative, he clearly valued their friendship very much even after


    so much time had passed.


    However, Sharon had felt embarrassed being around him, so she avoided him at all costs. She even


    insulted him multiple times! There were times when she went overboard as well, resulting in him getting


    physically hurt.


    Despite all that, Gerald continued to help her on multiple asions and he didn’t even hold any


    grudges against her. She had taken advantage of that, which led to Gerald getting hurt even more. This


    was why Gerald eventually started giving her the cold shoulder.


    As for Xe, she had looked down on him from the moment they bumped into each other again after so


    many years. She had been slightly embarrassed when they met, so she only had a polite conversation


    with him, even cracking a few light jokes here and there.


    However, Gerald still thought that she valued their friendship just as much as he did back then. They


    were even supposed to go to the ss reunion together! However, she went with Waylon instead which


    resulted in her feeling ufortable for most of that day.


    Waylon had bullied Gerald a lot back in high school. Gerald simply never stood up for himself. There


    was even a time when Waylon threw a chair at Gerald which sent him flying to the back of the ss.


    He was without a doubt, Gerald’s arch enemy.


    Despite being aware of that, Xe still ended up getting close to him. Gerald had been incredibly hurt


    after finding out about that.


    Now that the two girls realized that Gerald was the actual Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, they couldn’t


    help but regret their actions. Both of them thought that he was no longer the Gerald they knew, when in


    reality, Gerald had never changed. They were the ones who had changed.
