    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1232


    “Hello, Uncle Shadwell and Aunt Wauter!” greeted the charming boy as he quickly headed over to


    them. Of course, the handsome young man in question was none other than Preston.

    Preston had been extremely excited from the moment he received Noelle’s invitation to her birthday


    banquet.


    Due to that, he had made sure to pay extra attention to how he dressed today so that he could give off


    the aura of a young master from a rich family.


    It seemed that his efforts paid off since soon enough, the Shadwell family began praising him endlessly.


    Because of that, Preston couldn’t help but feel a little smug and arrogant.


    Shortly after, they invited him to sit at the main table.


    However, it was at that moment when Gracie suddenly realized that her daughter wasn’t even around.


    Momentarily pausing her chat with Preston before turning to look at Noelle’s roommates, Gracie then


    asked, “Speaking of which, where did Noelle and Yulisa go? I haven’t seen both of them in a while!”


    “From what we heard, both of them went downstairs to receive someone!” replied one of her


    roommates as the rest of them continued sipping on their juice.


    “They what? Isn’t Preston already here? Who else are they nning to receive? Say Preston, did you


    run into Noelle on your way up here?” asked Gracie, feelingly slightly puzzled.


    After all, Preston was undoubtedly the protagonist today.


    “Unfortunately, I haven’t. Since this hotel belongs to one of my uncles, I’ve always used the special VIP


    passage whenever I move around here. If I had known that she would be waiting for me downstairs,


    then I’d definitely have used the regr entrance!” replied Preston, hints of excitement and joy on his


    face.


    To bepletely honest, Preston had already heard about the Shadwell family’s financial crisis from


    his father. With that in mind, it wasn’t hard for him to imagine that the Shadewells were only treating


    him this well because of said issue. After all, they were probably well aware that the Wake family had


    the support of the Mayberry Commercial Group.


    In rtion to that, the status ofpanies such as his family’s—that were under the Mayberry


    Commercial Group—within Mayberry City didn’t even need to be borated on.


    Regardless, Preston knew that it was only a matter of time now before Noelle agreed to be his


    girlfriend. Hell, there was even a possibility that she would ept his confession today!


    “Oh? So you came up here using a special VIP passage! That’s probably the reason why Noelle hasn’t


    come up again yet! Hold on, I’ll call her right this instant!” said Gracie with a smile.


    “Oh, there’s no need to call her, Aunt Wauter! I feel pretty bad for having Noelle wait down there for so


    long so I’ll just go downstairs to look for her then bring her back up!” replied Preston as he shook his


    head with a smile on his face.


    Though Preston had to kneel before Noelle yesterday just to ask her out, now that he had found out


    about the predicament the Shadwells were in, Preston was feeling pretty confident about himself. With


    that, he then began walking downstairs without the slightest hesitation.


    “Wait for me, Preston! I’ming along!” shouted Gracie as she immediately followed after him.


    Gracie felt like she still wasn’t as close to Preston as she would like to be. After all, she was already


    treating him as though he was already her son-inw.


    Upon seeing Gracie and Preston leave, Yulisa’s roommates then said, “Let’s go look for Yulisa and


    Noelle as well!”


    As the small group of people began descending the building, two girls could be seen waiting rather


    anxiously by the street right outside the hotel.


    “Can’t we just stop waiting for him, Noelle? He must’ve been scared off the moment he read from your


    message that Longthorne International Hotel was the venue! I truly believe that from the venue of


    choice alone, he must’ve finally realized howrge the difference between both of you were. From the


    looks of it, he’s probably never attended an event at such a grand ce as Longthorne International


    Hotel! With that in mind, there’s a high possibility that he may be too pressured to even dare to show


    up here!”ined Yulisa, her arms crossed.


    While Yulisa had a pretty good impression of Gerald in the beginning, after everything that had


    happened, her impression of him had severely dropped.


    Quite frankly, if he hadn’t rescued them the day before, Yulisa wouldn’t ever have looked up to him


    again!


    Then again, could she really be med for being realistic? After all, this was Gerald’s own fault for not


    being outstanding enough. Humph!
