    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1079


    “I’ll be taking your silence as approval for me to chase after Xadrian then! I’ll start going after him


    starting tomorrow!” said Meredith.


    “…Fine,” replied Giya in a soft tone.


    Taking in a deep breath, she reminded herself again that Gerald was the person she was in love with.


    So what if Xadrian looked like him? In the end, he still wasn’t Gerald.


    If Meredith truly liked Xadrian, then Giya knew she had no right to prevent her from pursuing her own


    happiness.


    ‘You can’t be so selfish, Giya!’ Giya thought, attempting tofort herself.


    Regardless, neither of the girls slept a wink that night due to how preupied they were with their own


    concerns.


    Early the next morning, everyone was packing up—preparing to leave—when Meredith walked over to


    Gerald before saying, “Are you thirsty, Xadrian? I have some water with me if you want!”


    Hearing that, Gerald’s first response was to take a peek at Giya through the corner of his eyes.


    Realizing that Giya herself was secretly staring at him, Gerald turned to look at Meredith, shing a


    gentle smile before replying, “…Sure, why not? I am a little thirsty now!”


    “Hehe… Since you were so focused on saving and protecting usst night, you probably haven’t gotten


    sufficient rest at all! So drink up to make sure you don’t get overly dehydrated as well!” said Meredith


    as she smiled back.


    Taking a sip of the water, Gerald then said, “…Hmm? Why’s the water sweet…?”


    “…Huh? Sweet? How could that be?” replied Meredith, surprised. However, she quickly caught on to


    what he was implying.


    Once she did, she couldn’t help but blush as she added, “Oh,e on, Xadrian! Now you’re just


    teasing me!”


    As the two of them continued bickering yfully, Giya—who was still standing at the side—couldn’t


    help but clench her fists slightly. She wasn’t even sure what expression to make, evident by how she


    asionally scrunched her face up.


    In her mind, she wondered if she truly had been overthinking everything. Perhaps Meredith and


    Xadrian truly were a perfect match. Just by looking at them, she could tell how good they looked


    together!


    Even after leaving the building, Giya saw that Gerald asionally ended up chatting with Meredith as


    they continued on with their journey.


    Gerald, of course, was deliberately doing all this in front of Giya. Since he was well aware that it was


    impossible for a rtionship to bloom between them anyway—regardless of whether he was Gerald or


    Xadrian to her—by flirting with Meredith, he hoped that Giya would just give up and forget all about him


    already and try starting a new rtionship.


    What more, there was no way Gerald could return to his previous life anyway after all that had


    happened. Knowing that, he really had no other choice but to do what he was currently doing. He just


    couldn’t bear hurting Giya any more than he needed to.


    The group had set off early in the morning, and it was near midday when the Master of the Desert


    suddenly shouted, “…Hmm? What’s that in front?”


    As he said that, he stopped his camels from proceeding on for the moment.


    “…It looks like a crashed vehicle! I can see a few human figures lying on the sand!” shouted one of the


    tourists.


    “Nonsense! We’re in the middle of nowhere! Why would a vehicle be out here out of the blue?” replied


    Professor Yale.


    By then, Gerald himself squinted his eyes to look at the wreckage. Slowly frowning, he then said, “…


    That’s not just any vehicle. It’s a helicopter!”


    Upon saying that, Gerald began running toward the crash site.


    To the others, Gerald was now as much of a guide as the Master of the Desert was. As a result, they all


    chased after him, surrounding Gerald once they arrived at the scene.


    Now up close with the helicopter wreckage, everyone could see several of the vehicle’s parts scattered


    all over the ce. Since any mes from the crash had long been put out, Gerald estimated that the


    incident had urred in the early hours of yesterday.


    “Look there! I think those are corpses!” yelled out Meredith as she pointed at a sand dune.


    Hearing that, Gerald ran over to where Meredith was pointing at. All in all, Gerald found that there were


    four corpses lying around the initial crash site. That, however, wasn’t what caused Gerald’s eyelids to


    twitch after getting a good look at all four of them.


    “Why are all of them wearing ck robes…?”


    “Could they be tomb robbers? You know, like the ones they usually show on film and television


    dramas…? Why else would they be dressed like this?”


    As the others began discussing the current situation among themselves in between gulps filled with


    worry, nobody was able to notice the shock on Gerald’s face.

    Checking for all four of the men’s breaths—just for double measure—Gerald confirmed that all four of


    them were dead as he thought to himself, ‘…How could this have happened…? Why are they even


    here in the first ce…?’
