Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (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!”

rest of them continued sipping on their juice.
“They what? Isn’t Preston already here? Who else are they planning 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 regular entrance!” replied Preston, hints of excitement and joy on his face.
To be completely 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 relation to that, the status of companies such as his family’s—that were under the Mayberry Commercial Group
—within Mayberry City didn’t even need to be elaborated 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 accept 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’m coming 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

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 how large the difference between both of you were. From the looks of it, he’s probably never
attended an event at such a grand place 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!” complained 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 blamed for being realistic? After all, this was Gerald’s own fault for not being
outstanding enough. Humph!
