    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 704


    She was well aware that Marven had a crush on her. However, even though she had made it extremely


    clear that she wasn’t into him, why on earth was he still pestering her?


    Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to rtionships. If Raquel had received the same


    treatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded.


    However, Marven was apletely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a bad


    image if she was going to bepletely honest about it.


    After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was any


    less morally aware!


    “B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up.


    While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a few


    of the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurt


    because of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there.


    The two continued walking on until they arrived at the garden located right outside their campus.


    Upon finding a ce to sit, Marven soon found himself sobbing as he said, “It’s all my fault, Brother


    Gerald! While Raquel may have attacked you, please ce the me on me! After all, it’s true that I


    was the one who had humiliated her in front of all those people!”


    Though he had indeed received a kick to the chest from Raquel, Gerald simply remained silent. It was


    because he saw his past self in Marven.


    Back then, he had been willing to get beaten up just to keep Xavia safe!


    Understanding Marven’s pain, Gerald then patted him on the back while saying, “Alright, alright I


    won’t… For now, let’s focus more on getting you to stop crying… Still, you told me that both of you had


    quite a good rtionship! No offense, but that scene from earlier clearly suggested otherwise!”


    “Well… We truthfully were on good terms in the past… After all, both of us grew up together! However,


    once Raquel got into college, she began changing rather drastically…”

    Marven then began detailing his past with Raquel to Gerald.


    Both of them had apparently been extremely friendly with each other in the past, up to the point where


    Marven would always stand up for Raquel whenever she got bullied in school.


    The worst bullying Raquel had ever received happened when they were in their fourth year. Back then,


    Raquel’s path had been blocked by a few older students.


    Being the immature youngsters that they were, the older students had assumed that they simply


    needed to write a love letter to Raquel for her to fall head over heels for them. When that obviously


    failed, all of them ganged up on her. Marven however, came to her aid and fought against all of them.


    By the time they were done, his knees were bleeding so much that the scars from then remained till


    this very day.


    The incident Marven faced was honestly quite simr to what had happened with Gerald and Xavia


    back in the day.


    That was basically why for a period of time, Marven and Raquel were near inseparable. In fact, after


    graduating high school, both of them had even be a couple for a while.


    It was at that time, however, when Marven started noticing small changes in Raquel’s behavior.


    Eventually, it got so bad that Raquel actively tried to hide from him. It even got to the point where she


    told him not to tell others that they were actually a couple!


    One day, Raquel told him that she needed some time away from him…


    And that was how their rtionship remained for quite a period of time.


    Marven simply couldn’t ept how quickly Raquel had moved on from him so he kept on pestering her.


    Eventually, it led to the events of today.


    Gerald simply shook his head in pity. He didn’t even know what to say. After all, Marven’s story had


    be strikingly simr to his own past rtionship with Xavia. All he could do was pat him on the


    back.


    Not long after, Marven wiped thest of his tears away, affirming that he was fine now. Sharing his sad


    tale and crying it out had definitely helped.


    Hearing that, Gerald felt a sense of relief wash over him.


    Just as they were about to leave, Gerald’s phone rang. It was a call from Queta.


    “Gerald, you have to return immediately!”


    “What’s wrong?”


    Queta’s tone sounded desperate…
