    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 561


    “Lolita?” said Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile.


    He treated the girl like a younger sister. Lolita grew up with both Gerald and Xeno. She was also


    somewhat rted to Xeno’s family.


    Unlike Gerald and Xeno, Lolita had a pretty good family background. Her family owned a shop in town,


    specializing in making cakes and snacks. Because of that, she usually lived in town, rarely evering


    home.


    Since Gerald and Xeno were still paupers who couldn’t even afford any good clothes back then, Lolita


    rarely yed with both of them.


    She didn’t talk to them much either, even though they were all ssmates from the same elementary


    school. In short, there wasn’t much interaction between the two boys and her at all. One could say that


    it was simr to Gerald’s rtionship with Queeny.


    Unlike Queeny, however, they started interacting and forming a friendshipte in junior high school.


    In their first and second grade, Lolita coincidentally continued to share the same ss with Gerald and


    Xeno. Even then, both parties still rarely interacted.


    Things changed, however, when they were in their third grade.


    Lolita had gotten into a fight with another girl then, and it was a huge one.


    After school that day, Lolita’s way home was blocked by several ruffians from the same grade. The girl


    had ordered them to give Lolita some trouble to teach her a lesson.


    However, Gerald and Xeno had seen what they were up to, and they led Lolita away from them.


    Though Gerald was still a nobody back then, Xeno was famous for his fights at school.


    When the group of ruffians saw him, they didn’t dare to do anything to the trio. In short, they had saved


    Lolita from a world of trouble that day.


    From that day onwards, Lolita treated both Gerald and Xeno nicely, and they became friends just like


    that.


    She would always secretly buy cigarettes for Xeno. As for Gerald, she would bring him cakes and


    pastries.


    When they reached the age of high school, Lolita found that she had been admitted into the Third High


    School. It was considered to be the worst high school in the county.


    Since none of them had cell phones when they were in high school, they couldn’t keep in constant


    contact with each other. They would only get a chance to get together and chat during New Year.


    “When did you get back? Why didn’t you send me a text message or something?”ined Lolita.


    “I’ve just been back for a few days! I’ve been wandering around town and the county. To be honest, I


    was just about to ask Xeno for your phone number!” replied Gerald as he smiled.


    He wasn’t lying about that either. After all, he was nning to invite her over to celebrate his birthday


    with him too.


    “Humph! Well at least you haven’t forgotten about me yet! By the way, aren’t you up to date with the


    messages in our junior high school ss group chat? …Actually, wait. I don’t think you’re in it. But


    either way, today’s Chase’s birthday! He’s said that he wanted all our old ssmates to get together


    since we haven’t met each other in such a long time.”


    “Since he was going to host a birthday celebration anyway, he decided to make it a ss gathering as


    well to kill two birds with one stone! Even our junior high school ss teacher and English teacher will


    be attending today. Will you join us?” asked Lolita.


    “Mr. Weiss will be attending as well? Hasn’t he already retired this year?” asked Gerald as he tried to


    recall who Chase was.


    Though he had trouble remembering who the ssmate was, Gerald could easily remember his ss


    teacher, Mr. Carson Weiss. In fact, the memory of his teacher was very clear.


    Mr. Weiss had been a particrly kind teacher who taught him the Weston dialect.


    Back then, Gerald had a very difficult time at home and he couldn’t even afford to pay for his own


    textbooks. Mr. Weiss had always been there to help him, even going so far as to pay for Gerald’s


    textbook with his own money.


    Gerald could still remember those scenes clearly in his mind.


    In his first two years of university, Gerald would live a frugal lifestyle just so that he could save up some


    money. When he returned to his hometown for the New Year’s, regardless of how expensive it was, he


    would always bring some gifts with him whenever he visited Mr. Weiss. In the past two years, however,


    Gerald found it hard to even afford to pay for his own tuition fees. He was in such a destitute state back


    then that he couldn’t even visit Mr. Weiss at all.


    “I heard that Mr. Weiss fell critically illst year… Is he doing alright now?” asked Gerald.


    “He’s recovered from that a long time ago. How else could he possibly have agreed to attend Chase’s


    birthday celebration today?”


    “Actually, stop asking so many questions! You’ll be able to ask him personally when you meet him face


    to faceter! He’s always thought very highly of you and Xeno, even from back then! He’ll definitely be


    very pleased to see you today. Though we’ve arranged to meet up at eight, you can bet that Mr. Weiss


    will definitelye earlier than that just so that he can chat more with us!”


    “That’s great to hear! However, I don’t think I’ll be able to participate in the gathering,” said Gerald
