Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 789
“Why don’t we make up now, Gerald? I’m even willing to be your concubine!”
“I beg your pardon?” replied Gerald as he stared at Xavia in disbelief.
“…U-um… What… was I even saying…”
Due to how anxious she was, in her panic, she had accidentally blurted out what she truly felt. It was now beyond
awkward and embarrassing for her.
“I-It was just gibberish… S-say Gerald, we’re still friends, right?”
“… If there’s nothing else, I’ll be taking my leave,” said Gerald as he turned around to leave for good, a bitter smile
on his face.
His relationship with Xavia was nothing but a thing in the past now. Since he no longer had any feelings for her, he
knew it was best for him not to get involved with Xavia anymore.
A little while after he had gotten into his car, he received a phone call. It was from Mila.
Though Mila hadn’t contacted him for almost half a month now, Gerald had sent her a message every now and

“What is it, Mila?” asked Gerald as he smiled.
“Are… you done with whatever you’ve been doing?” asked Mila in return.
Throughout Mila’s period of silence, Gerald had constantly updated her on news regarding himself. Because of that,
Mila always knew what Gerald was up to.
“That I am. I’ll be returning to Northbay today, but before that, I’ll head to Hong Kong to look for you first,” replied
Gerald, still smiling.
“Alright! Ah, if you’re coming over, could we meet before tomorrow morning? I’m leading an overseas expedition
team for an interview tomorrow, but I still want to meet you! I… I really, really want to meet you!”
Since she had remained silent for so long, not once had she told him about any of the grievances that she had gone
through.
After all, what Jessica had meant was crystal clear. Back then, she had said that Mila wasn’t cut to be part of the
Crawford family. That her relationship with Gerald wasn’t going to last long.
Even if Jessica had said so, as long as an opportunity existed, Mila was willing to work hard to make it happen.
She had been putting in extra effort in her work throughout her period of silence. Mila wanted to prove that she
wasn’t just some trophy wife, but also someone who would be able to support and actually help Gerald in the
future.
It was honestly because of her hard work that Mila was being given the opportunity to lead her own team to
conduct an interview tomorrow.
Still, the more effort she placed in bettering herself, the more Mila ended up missing Gerald.
“I can do that. I’ll be meeting you tomorrow then!”
After exchanging a few more words, both of them hung up.
“How’s the situation, Mila? Will Gerald be coming over?” asked Molly and her other roommates as they continued
packing the things they needed for the interview.
Most of her roommates had only caught a glimpse of Gerald back when they had gone looking for him with Mila
half a month earlier. Back then, they only knew that he was a rich person from Mayberry City.
For Mila, however, it wasn’t until quite recently when she came to know that his wealth was actually world-class!
The difference in power and wealth that he had at his disposal was so great compared to what she had initially
thought of him, that he may as well be a completely different person!
Molly and the others hadn’t gotten the chance to get to know Gerald back then, and all of them were quite eager to

As the main reporter for the overseas interview this time around, Mila was given the right to bring two assistants
along with her. The two she had chosen were Molly and Wanda.
Though Wanda had been both angry and jealous of Mila on multiple occasions, ever since the incident at the
television station festival, she and Mila had grown to have a pretty good relationship.
“He said that he’s coming!” replied Mila as she smiled sweetly.
“Wow! That’s great to hear! Since he’s personally coming over, I can only imagine the scene that will play out! Our
boyfriends will also be coming to see us off then! Think you could use that opportunity to introduce him to them,
Mila?” asked Molly with a smile.
“Of course!”
As the three girls continued chatting happily among themselves, a sudden knock was heard on the door.
The moment the dormitory room door was opened, the girls saw that it was Narissa.
“I saw a few express delivery packages for you downstairs, so I’ve brought them up!” said Narissa as she handed
the three small packages over to them.
“Humph. Thanks, I guess!” replied Wanda with a cold sneer.
After all, everyone was pretty much still angry with her for siding with Hallie to set Mila up back then.
Naturally, after hearing her part of the story, Mila herself didn’t hold anything against her.
