Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 584
Back then, Gerald knew little about Maia aside from the fact that she was the team captain.
The only other things he knew was that she was very close to her grandfather and her parents were in politics. This
resulted in her growing up in a rather lavish environment.
He also knew that while she and her family were locals, after the final examination, all of them moved to Mayberry.
Though Gerald was excellent in his studies, he was never good enough for Maia. She would only talk to him as the
captain whenever they were representing the school in a competition. Outside that, they weren’t close at all.
Gerald on the other hand, had a very good impression of her since she was both hardworking and capable. To top it
off, she was also very pretty and she had good tastes too.
In short, she was a goddess to his past self.
Many guys had tried to befriend her but she would only befriend those who had their own ‘specialties’. Such

Normal people would never get the chance to even get close to her. This caused the past Gerald to be satisfied to
just be able to momentarily talk with her.
Gerald hadn’t forgotten that feeling, so he was rather nervous now that she was in front of him again.
“It’s been pretty long, hasn’t it? I heard you went to police school. Are you still practicing?” asked Gerald.
Maia simply nodded and continued looking at him for a while before saying, “So, why are you at this bar? Shouldn’t
you be working?”
Though she was the one who had initiated the conversation, she wasn’t really paying attention to him. Her eyes
were clearly looking elsewhere.
“I haven’t found a job yet. Also, what are you looking at?” asked Gerald as he turned to look where her eyes were
gazing at.
“Don’t look. I see, so you have time to talk to me then!” commanded Maia in a strict tone, just like she used to back
in high school.
Gerald had no idea what was going on so he simply nodded.
She then took another sip of her champagne before looking at Gerald with a smile, immediately causing him to
blush. At that moment, something caught Maia’s eye and she instantly grabbed her walkie-talkie before shouting,
“Action!”
Maia then rushed out of the bar, running toward a young man. Gerald saw a few other young people running over
as well, and in no time at all, the young man had been surrounded. It looked just like a movie scene.
The young man who had been drinking was stunned as he was pressed against the ground by a few people. A few
bystanders witnessing the scene screamed as one of the young people shouted, “Don’t move! Police!” The person
on the ground was then cuffed up.
Well d*mn! So she already was a cop and she was even on duty!
So that’s why she was talking to Gerald. She had even smiled at him! It was all just for show, and Gerald smiled
bitterly as he came to realize that.
At that moment, Gerald remembered that Drake and Tyson were still inside beating up the guards from before.

extremely awkward.
“We’ve finally caught the little rascal after so many days! Good work, Maia. Let’s go for a drink later!” said a tall,
good-looking guy as he smiled at Maia.
As the suspect was taken away, a few other female cops came over and said, “Wow, Warren, we want drinks too!
Why don’t we get invited over for drinks?” asked the girls rather enviously.
“I’ll get drinks for all of you! Let’s head to another bar right now!” replied Warren.
“Oh, by the way, Maia, did you know that guy? I saw you talking to him earlier!” said one of the girls as she pointed
toward Gerald who was still sitting in the bar.
“Yeah, he’s one of my high school acquaintances. Back then, I was the competition team captain while he was one
of the members!”
“I see! I thought your relationship would be something like that! Haha! Why not ask him to join us? He’s quite good
looking! Also, what does he do?” asked the other girls.
“I’m not too sure about that and I was just about to ask him if he’d like to come along!” said Maia as she shook her
head with a smile.
She then looked toward Gerald before saying, “Hey Gerald, come over here!”
