Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 697
The entire classroom was still in a daze after all that exhilaration.
The news had obviously gotten to the ears of their class lecturer as well. Since Stella and Fabian were getting
honors and both of them were in his class, that meant that even he was going to become well-known!
An announcement soon came, stating that everyone from the degree program needed to attend the donor
appreciation event. Such an event was a big deal in the campus since only a few other events—like sports day—
gave students a chance to increase their popularity.
Upon hearing that, the duo’s classmates were all in for it! After all, how couldn’t they be after finding out that two
of their classmates were soon going to be famous?
It was after a short lunch break when everyone from the degree program started heading toward the school hall.
Gerald, however, started heading for their classroom instead.

“I’m not!” replied Gerald.
He had attended numerous events like this in the past. This was nothing special to him. To him, the act of donating
was simply a way to express love and care for others. Since he had already done that through his donation, he
didn’t feel the need to attend such an event with the others.
“But Gerald, look! The two goddesses are attending as well!” said Marven as he pointed toward the school hall’s
entrance.
Squinting his eyes, Gerald realized that he was right.
“Come on, let’s just go! Since everyone else is going, we won’t look good if we choose not to attend, right?” added
Marven.
“I guess… Alright then!” replied Gerald as he shook his head helplessly.
Marven had a point. It wouldn’t do him any good to be seen as a weirdo. After all, he still had to mingle with the
students there for quite a while.
Thus, Gerald ended up following Marven into the hall.
Once they were inside, they saw the two girls sitting alone in the last row, being low-key as usual.
Nobody even dared to sit remotely close to them, preferring to stand rather than to do so.
“Darn it, there aren’t any seats left!” said Marven as he scratched the back of his head.
“What do you mean? There’s plenty of empty seats there!” replied Gerald as he looked toward Jasmine’s direction.
Before Marven could stop him, Gerald was already walking toward them.
“Well hello there beautiful, I assume these seats aren’t taken?” said Gerald with a smile.
His statement, however, garnered no response from both girls. They simply continued staring ahead coldly.
Marven himself was now nervously tugging on to Gerald’s elbow, desperately trying to hint at him to sit anywhere
else but there. After all, if they triggered the two goddesses, both of them would be as good as dead.
Gerald, however, simply shrugged nonchalantly before pulling Marven to sit right next to him.
Jasmine could feel her eyebrows raising though she continued remaining silent.
Once everyone arrived, the event then officially began. To start off the event, the principal gave a speech which
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwas then followed by another from the student representative.
During the speech, it was mentioned that only ‘excellent donors’ would have their names announced. ‘Excellent
donors’ were those who donated over fifteen dollars.
It was also stated that the names would be announced randomly instead of in ascending order of how much one
donated. While that was so, the exact amount donated by the ‘excellent donors’ was still going to be mentioned.
It didn’t take long for someone who donated a hundred and fifty dollars to be announced. When the students heard
that, whispering could be heard among the crowd.
The whispering intensified into exclamations of awe and surprise when another person was announced to have
donated over four hundred and fifty dollars.
Among the ‘excellent donors’, Gerald heard Maia and Warren’s names being mentioned as well.
It would appear that both of them had donated nine hundred dollars respectively.
Naturally, this stirred a sensation among the students when they heard such high numbers being donated.
“Now, according to this list, a total of twelve students donated nine hundred dollars and above! Because of that, we
hope to invite them up to the stage to each accept a certificate of honor!”
The host then cleared his throat before reading out, “Mr. Warren and Ms. Maia! Please come up to the stage!”
What followed was an eruption of applause as both Warren and Maia walked up the stage.
“Woah! Brother Warren looks so hot!”
