Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 457

Gerald had not seen Elena in a while, and she seemed much prettier now.

“Elena Larson is gorgeous!” a stunned Hayward exclaimed. Sharon, nonetheless, wasn’t jealous at all.

She had to admit that Elena was a real beauty.

“Of course, she is! Elena is Mr. Crawford’s godsister. She has to be!” Liam smiled.

“Then why isn’t Mr. Crawford here, Liam?” Leila asked.

She was really hoping to see who Mr. Crawford was.

“Let me tell you why. My dad mentioned he’s someone who keeps a low profile and doesn’t like banquets and

functions as such.” Liam explained as if he knew about Gerald very well.

“Aw!” Leila was disappointed.

“Hey Leila, would you like a drink? This fruit juice is imported, it’s excellent! Let me get you some!”

Douglas was unhappy seeing Liam and Leila hitting off well.

“I’m good. Just leave me be.” Leila frowned at Douglas and turned towards Liam again.

“I need one, please!” A waiter passed by Lilian, and she reached out for a drink.

Lilian was parched after what happened earlier on, and she was even more anxious now.

Elena delivered her speech on the stage as her eyes skimmed around the room.

Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone went silent.

It was Lilian.

She had discovered how lovely the drink was, and she wanted to get one for Gerald too, but the glass slipped,

spilling the drink all over him and herself.

“Oh, no! Let me help you!” Gerald quickly offered to help.

He grabbed some napkins, helped Lilian clean her dress, then wiped the remainder of the liquid off his pants.

“How embarrassing! She can’t even hold a glass properly!”

“I know, right! Elena’s still speaking, and she’s only bothered by the food. Ridiculous!”

A few people seated at the same table insulted her.

“There is an obvious difference between finding a rich boyfriend and dating a fraud. Even the standards are worlds

apart!” added Sharon, sniggering away silently.

“Thank heavens I didn’t end up with her!” Hayward exclaimed.

Leila just looked at Gerald and shook her head judgmentally.

“I’m so sorry! I really didn’t mean it!” A scared and quivering Lilian immediately apologized.

Her face blushed a bright beetroot, and she tugged hard on Gerald’s sleeves.

“Gerald, I think we should leave!”

Lilian knew how tall of an order it was to get Gerald acting like someone of wealth, but she chose to follow him

anyway. Never did she think she would embarrass herself like that.

“Why should we leave? It’s just a glass. We’ll be fine!” Gerald found it really intriguing that a girl like Lilian would

have such low self-esteem.

Gerald remembered his first time attending such functions. He was not unlike her.
