Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1102
Then again, she had always been this way. After all, while it wasn’t uncommon for the students in Mayberry
University to date other students there, Yasmeen was on a whole other level. Back then, she had dated the
president of one of the companies in Mayberry who had had a divorce.
Due to their relationship, the president arranged for fireworks to be placed at every corner of the university on
Yasmeen’s birthday. That night, the entire university was lit by the beautiful glow of fireworks, easily resulting in all
the other girls there both admiring and envying her.
However, that wasn’t what Gerald remembered most about the incident. No, what he recalled most about that
event was the fact that Yasmeen had told him to clean up all the firework remains around the university—when
morning came—for fifteen dollars.
That, however, was a lot to him at the time. Once he got the money, he immediately treated Xavia to a meal at
KFC. He even remembered adding another seven dollars of his own to make their feast a little grander.
How the memory played out pretty much summed up how his relationship with Yasmeen used to be. After all, how
could someone like the past Gerald even have the right to befriend her?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was the reason why he was quite surprised that she was willing to greet him now.
“So why did you come over to Halimark City, Yasmeen?” asked Gerald as he looked at all the people—who were
dressed like upper-class individuals—standing behind her.
The city itself was a place that had grown quite strong economic-wise throughout the years due to all the natural
advantages its geographical features granted.
“Well, my chamber of commerce is holding functions here in the next few days. Because of that, my business
partners and I have come over to seek some amusement! I’ve established a cosmetic company, after all! Haha!”
replied Yasmeen as she smiled faintly while smoothening her hair.
“How truly impressive!” said Gerald as he watched her business partners begin walking over, one by one.
One of them was a middle-aged man who seemed to have quite an intimate relationship with Yasmeen. Frowning,
the man then asked, “Who is this, Yasmeen?”
“Oh, him? He’s just a junior from university! I talked about him before, remember? The particularly poor student
while I was studying there? That’s him! You know, he could barely afford to pay for his meals back then! I also
remember his clothes being filled with patches, since most of what he earned—from doing part-time jobs daily and
also from the many errands he ran for others—went into either his living expenses or his tuition fees! He didn’t
have the money for anything else!” jabbered Yasmeen on and on without needing to even stop to take in a single
breath.
Her friends, on the other hand, simply widened their eyes as they continued listening to her.
“How could such a poor person even exist!” said one of them as the others exchanged glances of both shock and
dismay with each other.
“I know right? But that’s not even the most surprising thing! See, even though he was that poor, he still managed to
get himself a girlfriend!”
As the others were filled with even greater surprise, Yasmeen turned to look at Gerald who had been silent for quite
a while. Seeing how calm he looked, Yasmeen realized that she may have said a bit too much already.
Smiling rather awkwardly, she then added, “…Regardless, being able to bump into each other again must be the
work of fate! Pray tell, are you here to attend Halimark City’s Enchanted Feast, Gerald?”
“Afraid not!” replied Gerald as he shook his head.
“Why are you even asking such an unnecessary question, Yasmeen? Didn’t you already tell us how poor he was
back then? How could he even afford to attend the Enchanted Feast?” said a woman as she walked over.
“…That’s true… Since we’re ex-schoolmates, I’d have loved to invite you over to join us for the feast, Gerald…
Sadly enough, I don’t have an extra admission ticket! Regardless, there’s an app you should really download on
your phone later! You can find all my company’s products there! Speaking of my company, since it’s only recently
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeen established, I’m in need of agents to distribute the products! You could try applying to be an agent! Worry not,
one of the makeup sets I’m selling was designed for lower-income people, like yourself! Due to that, I’m sure you
can promote it to your less wealthy friends!” suggested Yasmeen.
Following that, she instantly began detailing the steps required to apply to be an agent, leaving no room for Gerald
to even say a word.
A little later, she handed him the contact number and business card of the regional manager before saying,
“Alright, it’s getting a bit late now and I really should be leaving. After all, I still need to head to the city with my
friends! Also, don’t worry about calling the manager, I’ll let him know in advance to take special care of you.”
With that, Yasmeen flashed Gerald a faint smile before leaving while waving her hand with her other friends.
Watching them walk off, Gerald could only look at their backs as he shook his head while smiling bitterly.
Yasmeen truly hadn’t changed in this aspect.
Tossing the card away, Gerald then continued walking by the beach, deep in thought.
He continued doing so for quite a bit, and the next thing he knew, it was already late at night, with very few tourists
still walking around.
At that moment, he suddenly saw the faint outlines of five speedboats at the corner of his eye. Turning to get a
better look at what was happening, he saw that all five of them were in hot pursuit of another speedboat that
currently wasn’t too far off from them.
