Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 691
Not sure what else to say, Gerald simply followed Marven into the café.
“F*ck! They’re really tailing us!” whispered the cold and unapproachable Mindy as she saw Marven and his friend
enter the café through the corner of her eye.
“Looks like I’ll need to investigate that man’s background as well!” whispered Jasmine—who was sitting across the
table—in return.
“There’s no need for that, I think. Judging by his looks alone, he seems to be the honest kind of guy. You know, the
type of person who’ll immediately spill the truth out when he’s enquired about it? If you ask me, I say you’re just
being overly sensitive about this.”
“You’ll definitely scare the cr*p out of him, just like you do to all other men. I mean let’s be honest, how many men
haven’t fled for the hills after meeting you? And I’m not even talking about those trying to woo you! I’m referring to
those who’ve had an interest in me!”
“And while it’s true that we can now come out to study and get a degree and all, is there really a difference

“I can’t believe you actually said that! If grandpa heard that, he’d definitely yell at you without a doubt! In fact, it
wouldn’t be farfetched to assume that he’d even stop paying for your tuition fees! Remember what he said! We
have enemies lurking behind every corner, so you better watch out!” reminded Jasmine.
“I get it, I get it… I guess you’re right…”
After that, Mindy simply stopped talking.
Meanwhile, Gerald and Marven had just taken a seat at the table next to theirs. Quite honestly, Gerald wasn’t
looking forward to any of this.
Deep down, he had a feeling that something set him apart from these people. In fact, his gut was telling him that
that would be the eventual cause of their imminent quarrel.
However, Marven’s confidence alone made it extremely difficult for Gerald to turn his offer down.
While his ears were perked, Marven was disappointed when he realized that the girls weren’t chatting at all.
At long last, however, he was finally able to hear them say a single phrase.
“Let’s go!”
As soon as he heard that, Marven watched as both of the girls finished the rest of their coffee before getting up and
leaving the café. As per usual, Jasmine’s face was stone-cold.
This time, however, Gerald received a scornful glare from Mindy before the two girls left for good.
“Wow! She was totally checking you out, Gerald!” said Marven sounding genuinely impressed.
“What a pity though… We didn’t even get a chance to hear them speak at all! It hardly makes any sense! Why did
they choose to whisper to each other this time around? I swear I could hear them speaking normally the last time I
tailed them!” added Marven with a sigh. What a let-down.
Gerald simply patted his friend on the shoulder while shaking his head in sympathy.
Regardless, if his hunch was correct, then their plan had already been uncovered by the girls! Sadly, Marven truly
seemed to be completely oblivious to this.
After parting ways with him, Gerald didn’t even bother attending his afternoon lectures, opting instead to return
home.
It was around then when he realized that he really had to find a chance to have a chat with Jasmine.
As he thought about it, his phone started ringing.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo his surprise, the caller ID displayed a special number. It was a call from the Drake & Tyson duo. Since they rarely
called him unless there was truly an emergency, Gerald immediately picked the call up.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Crawford! You need to return home right this instant! A few people have been tailing you and I can only
assume that they’ve found out about your real identity!” replied Drake, sounding rather urgent.
“…Huh?”
After hearing that, Gerald slowly tried to look behind him without making it too obvious. However, all he could see
was a crowded street. He was still on campus after all, so sights like this were common.
The Drake & Tyson duo had been able to tell that he was being tailed through the use of the highly-sophisticated
safety device which Gerald always carried around. Through it, they were able to constantly monitor his movements
and alert him to any peculiarities they detected.
“I’ve sent some men over, Mr. Crawford! Please refrain from lingering around outside any longer!”
“Roger!” replied Gerald before hanging up. He then immediately hailed a taxi to head home.
He had been careful not to reveal his identity to anyone, right? Who on earth could be tailing him?
“Big brother! That kid’s slipped away!”
