Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 638
Gerald’s main purpose of attending the event was just to intimidate them.
He wanted the Longs to know that they were messing with the wrong person, and that they should re-evaluate their
decision of pursuing their revenge against him.
Now that he had completed what he had set out to do, Gerald was ready to leave.
Sometime after getting into his car, he noticed that someone was tailing him.
Looking into his rear-view mirror, he realized who was in the car, so he simply paid the vehicle no further attention.
Once he arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Gerald was just about to enter when a girl’s voice called out to him.
“Are you planning to just ignore me forever, Gerald?!”
Of course, the person in the car earlier was Giya.
“There’s no reason for us to maintain our relationship anymore. Yunus should no longer pester you either, so isn’t
that good enough?” replied Gerald.

She was discontent with the way Gerald was currently treating her.
Pausing for a moment, Gerald eventually turned around and simply walked away from her without saying another
word.
The truth was, Gerald was feeling quite upset about the entire thing. After all, Giya was a nice person and she even
treated him well.
This was the exact reason why he had to be firm with his decision. He could no longer afford to be the obsequious
person he had been before.
“S-stop right there you son of a b*tch!” shouted Tammy as she huffed and puffed while running toward Gerald.
“You’re such a bad person, Gerald! How could you do this to Giya? Do you know how much she always mentions
your name in front of us? While it’s true that you’ve had some trouble with Giya misunderstanding you, you should
also know how terribly sad Giya was! She had even gone to find Rosalie in hopes that she would forgive you and not
pursue the matter any further! Though the Owens hadn’t promised her that they would forgive you, that still
doesn’t mean you can treat her like this!” shouted Tammy.
This was true as the day that incident happened, Giya had personally met up with Rosalie. Despite her efforts, the
Owens had been reluctant to let go of the matter that easily.
“Aside from that, there’ve been rumors in Mayberry that Giya is your girlfriend! They all thought that the reason
you attended Yunus’s birthday ceremony was to make a scene for Giya’s sake! While I know that the rumors don’t
affect you, have you actually thought about what Giya will be going through now? How the Long family now thinks
of her? What do you even suppose Giya should do now?”
“That’s quite enough, Tammy! I already know why Gerald is ignoring me!” said Giya as she wiped her tears.
Staring straight at him, Giya then added, “I… I know I was being selfish. However, I have one final request from
you, Gerald. Remember that time I was hospitalized after being kidnapped? You told me that you would do one
thing for me as long as you could manage it. Tell me Gerald, does that statement still stand?”
“It does,” replied Gerald with a nod.
Gerald also remembered that Giya had gone over to look for him back then to escape her marriage. Once she
arrived in Mayberry, she had been kidnapped because he hadn’t paid any attention to her.
He had blamed himself for the entire situation back then, which was why he had told her that she could make a

At the time, Giya had playfully said that since Gerald had been the one who suggested it, he wasn’t allowed to take
back what he had said.
Gerald however, knew that he had meant every word that he said.
While that promise had laid dormant all this time, it had finally resurfaced again.
“Tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I’ll help you with it!” said Gerald.
After all, a promise was a promise. In addition, Gerald just couldn’t bear breaking her heart any further. He didn’t
even know how to refuse her anymore.
“That’s good to know… Rest assured, once you fulfill that favor, I’ll never pester you again. I’ll disappear from your
life for good!”
“So… What exactly is the favor?”
“I want you to marry me!”
“…Come again? Marry?”
Despite having mentally prepared himself for whatever she was going to throw at him, Gerald still ended up being
shocked when he heard those words.
“Ah, there’s no need to be afraid. I don’t mean an actual marriage. I just need you to fake a marriage with me in
front of the Owens and Long family. Will you be able to do that for me?” asked Giya.
