Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 423
Once he had parked his car, Gerald entered the private room. Almost half of his classmates were already there.
There were about twenty people and the atmosphere was quite lively.
The dining table that they had booked was huge as well.
Most of the students there only greeted Gerald casually before turning to look away and continuing talking among
themselves.
To them, Gerald was simply a poor loser so he was naturally easy to be ignored.
Going back to Gerald, there was one thing that surprised him.
Both Lilian and Sharon were nowhere to be seen.
“By the way, Waylon, why aren’t Lilian and Sharon here? Didn’t they say they would join us?”
Similar to Gerald, some of the other classmates were also puzzled.
Waylon simply smiled faintly. “They won’t be joining us. They’re not the same as they used to be. They’ve entered
rich and powerful circles. They’re arguably the most powerful among us! Why would they ever attend such a small
event such as this?”

had gotten the better of her.
“Well, Sharon’s found herself quite a powerful boyfriend in Mayberry. Do any of you know about Yorknorth Mountain
Entertainment City?” said Waylon as he lit a cigarette.
“Of course we all do! It’s net famous! Yorknorth Mountain is going to be developed and transformed into a tourism,
food, and culture focused city. Literally everyone has heard about it!”
“Well, Sharon’s boyfriend came from Yorknorth Village, though the village has now been demolished. But that’s
beside the point. See, her boyfriend’s family owns a few shops on the commercial street in Yorknorth Mountain
Entertainment City. The amount of money they’ll be earning in the future will be almost impossible to calculate!”
“Holy cr*p! They sound really powerful!”
Hearing that, everyone was astounded.
“Her boyfriend’s name is Hayward, and he’s quite famous in Mayberry. I had visited Mayberry last month for a little
entertainment and fun. I called Sharon while I was there and met up with her boyfriend too. We had a meal
together and exchanged contact information too,” said Waylon rather proudly.
“D*mn Waylon! You’re so great!”
“Back when we were in school, Waylon and Cameron were equally influential and powerful! Waylon still is! How
about you Cameron? No news from you? You’ve got to work harder!” teased a few girls who were sitting casually
beside Cameron.
A hint of jealousy could be seen in Cameron’s eyes.
Cameron knew that he couldn’t compare himself to Waylon.
This was especially true now since Waylon had already grown to know a lot of people from Mayberry whereas
Cameron’s contacts were only limited to those from the health department.
Thinking about it made Cameron both anxious and restless.
He felt like he was being humiliated.
“Hey, hey, don’t say that! Cameron’s a great guy too! If your family or relatives work in hospitals or something
close to that you can just give Cameron a call! Come over here Cameron! The guest of honor seat is your’s to
claim!”
Waylon was already sitting on the main seat while Xella was sitting to his left as the secondary guest of honor. The
only seat left was reserved for the guest of honor so who else could sit there other than Cameron?
“But Waylon, wouldn’t it be better for you to take the guest of honor seat? You’re definitely the most powerful
among us here! Besides, I’ll let all of you know something. Waylon’s company has also received funding from the
Dream Investment Group!” said a classmate as he smiled while looking at Waylon.

When his other classmates heard that, their eyes widened as they turned to look toward Waylon.
“They are companies that belong to my family, so they’re none of my business. I’ve established my own company
but it’s still quite useless since I’ve yet to yield any results!” said Waylon while smiling bitterly.
Many of his classmates were both jealous and envious of him.
His declaration only made Cameron feel more and more inferior.
As he smiled awkwardly, he suddenly noticed Gerald who had been sitting near the door. With a cold smile on his
face, he said, “Speaking of which, Waylon. We shouldn’t just pass the seat of honor among ourselves. Gerald should
be the rightful one sitting there!”
Cameron had had enough. He was annoyed and he didn’t want to be compared to Waylon anymore so he changed
the topic to Gerald.
“What? You’re suggesting Gerald take it?” said a random classmate as he burst out laughing.
Cameron simply sneered.
“Of course he should. You may not know it, but Gerald’s quite close with our Serene County’s Louie. We met two
days ago at a restaurant and Louie even wanted to pay the bill for Gerald!”
