    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 736


    Vincy was stuck between a rock and a hard ce. After all, she was the one who invited Gerald. But


    now her two best friends were in a squabble with each other, so it was only natural that she started


    feeling anxious about it.


    “A trivial affair? Vincy, do you really think that what happened during our high school days was just a


    trivial affair?”


    Seems like X still harbored resentment towards Gerald for what had happened ages ago.


    “You remember thepetition we participated in that year, and we won. After we came back, the


    school treated the twenty of us to a meal in the city. After the meal, there were only a few of us left.


    Hence, we yed truth or dare. I was defeated, so I had to choose a person there to confess my love


    to. Did you forget about that?”


    X said.


    “Of course I remember it. I know that you didn’t like Gerald back then. But in order to y safe, you


    confessed your love to him. Still remember how he just came back from helping out the teacher when


    you did that. You told him that you liked him!”


    Vincy recalled the incident which happened in the past.


    “But in the end, Gerald said that we were unsuited for each other in front of everyone. I was left


    speechless and helpless. I can’t believe that the loser really thought that I liked him! I get furious every


    time I remember his face when he said that to me. All of the students in our ss pointed their fingers


    andughed at me. They joked that even a person like Gerald didn’t like me. The boy who I truly had a


    crush on was just there at the side. Do you know how great a humiliation I was forced to ept?”


    X said.


    “But do you know why Gerald imed that you were unsuited for each other? It’s because Gerald felt


    that he was poor and that he was not a match for you. You’re overthinking things. Besides, he also


    knew that your feelings weren’t genuine, so perhaps he blurted out things that he didn’t mean to say.


    Didn’t you always dislike him because he’s poor? You didn’t even want to sit beside him in the car.


    That’s why Gerald was afraid of you!”


    Vincy quickly made up an exnation to calm X down.


    “What? That loser! I must make him regret it! Besides, I was not the only one who disliked him because


    he was poor. Vincy, weren’t you the same? Don’t think that I didn’t notice. You liked Gerald during that


    time. But you didn’t want to go into a rtionship because of how broke he was back then, didn’t you!?”


    X was just a bbermouth. The moment she started talking, she would talk about literally


    everything.


    What she said made Vincy blush. She had just blurted out the thing which haunted Vincy’s mind to this


    day.


    On the other hand, Lennard’s facial expression turned sour all of a sudden. ‘No wonder Vincy turned


    me down when I confessed to her back then. I had no idea that she liked Gerald at that time.’


    Then, he recalled how nice Vincy had been treating Gerald. So that was why she acted in such a


    friendly manner towards him?


    Lennard’s eyes were filled with a tinge of jealousy.


    It was totally a different thing now. Previously, Lennard did not intervene when Vincy was being nice to


    Gerald. It was because he didn’t even see Gerald as a rival in love. No way in a million years Vincy


    would fall for Gerald, right?


    But now, the realization made Lennard’s heart skip a beat.


    It turns out, things had been that way all this while.


    Lennard looked at Vincy. Her face was flushed red, which only served to confirm his fears.


    What X said had hit Vincy’s sore spot.


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    X was right. Vincy did like Gerald back in high school.


    But Gerald was poor. Vincy did give it a try. But doubts started to spring up when she thought further


    about it.


    ‘How would my ssmates view me? What would they say about me?’


    In the end, she did not reach that stage, and she gave up the chance to deepen her rtionship with


    Gerald.


    But it did not stop Vincy from wishing that Gerald would be much better.


    Doubt, even if only present in one party’s mind in a romantic rtionship, was enough to sink the ship


    sooner orter.


    At that moment, the atmosphere became weird.


    Gerald did not hear the conversation between X and Vincy.


    But the driver beside him said, “Isn’t that Chairman Lighton’s son—Leon? My chairman said that Leon


    came today, representing his father. He asked us to go and be nice to him, wants us to express our


    gratitude to him. After all, Chairman Lighton was the reason why we had so many projects waiting for


    us. People like them will forever rule over us regr folks, doncha think?”


    “That’s right. Chairman Wacket even made it clear that we should at least go and give him a toast to


    show our sincerity and gratitude!”


    A few of the drivers and secretaries discussed.


    Leon’s family had their ownpany. It was rather normal for them to have certain kinds of


    cooperation and partnership with otherpanies, it wasn’t umon for thesepanies to


    be dependent on them for financial or capital support.


    In other words, it wasn’t a bad idea to suck up to him.


    “Fine. Since they’ve said it explicitly let’s go there together before the event starts!”


    A female secretary said.


    Then, that group of people stood up directly.


    “Why aren’t yin’ with us brother?”


    At that moment, the driver, who was sitting beside Gerald, patted Gerald’s shoulder lightly.


    Clearly, Gerald was being treated as a driver by these folks…
