Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 999

“Well, hello there! We meet again!” said Haven Lovewell—one of the charming women—as she waved at the youth.

“We do, indeed…” replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he closed the door behind him. Placing his baggage down at

a specially designated area for tourists, Gerald then headed over to an empty table that was coincidentally beside

Haven’s.

As Gerald sat down, Haven added, “Do you remember our little conversation on the train earlier? It was so pleasant

that I even wanted to ask you for your Line number at some point! Still, I never expected to meet you again so

soon… I guess our meeting must have been written in the stars!”

“That’s quite enough, Haven. He came here to have his meal so don’t trouble him any more,” said Xareni—Haven’s

elder sister—as she gently stepped on Haven’s foot, reminding her to be courteous.

“She’s right, Haven. Why did you even ask him for his Line number?” added Quintin.

Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before smiling wryly.

As Haven had said, Gerald had earlier bumped into the three Lovewell siblings while they were still on the train. At

the time, the Lovewell siblings were sitting right across Gerald.

Quintin, however, had been dissatisfied with his window-side seat since the old man—who looked to be around

eighty—sitting beside Gerald was an eyesore for him. The old man himself had been sleeping with his head leaned

against the window throughout most of their journey, and Quintin couldn’t bear having to look at his sleeping face

for any longer.

As a result, Quintin asked Gerald to switch seats with him. Though Gerald initially had no problem with that, Quintin

had tossed a hundred dollars at Gerald while asking.

If he had been a bit nicer and more polite, Gerald would’ve switched seats with him anyway. However, from the

moment the hundred dollars were tossed his way, Gerald completely ignored Quintin’s request.

Had Haven not stepped in to advise Quintin, he would’ve definitely started a fight with Gerald.

Later on, Haven herself began chatting with Gerald. Since Gerald has traveled so much in the past year, he was no

longer the same person who only knew about Serene County and Mayberry City.

Due to his extensive knowledge of many different places, Haven soon found herself getting fascinated by him.

Xareni, on the other hand, never said a word to Gerald. Being the eldest among the three people, she was slightly

colder and more aloof in general.

That was the gist of their interaction back on the train.

“So, where are you headed to next? Did you come to the Logan Province to study or work?” asked Haven curiously.

“I’m just here to travel!” replied Gerald with a smile.

“Oh! If you’re traveling around here, then I recommend that you go to a place called Balbrick Manor! There are lots

of amusing things to do there, from golf to even horse racing!”

“Haven, not everyone can go there… You can’t expect an ordinary person to just go there! Regardless, just hurry up

and eat already,” said Xareni who clearly didn’t like Gerald one bit.

If it wasn’t already obvious, all three of them shared a rather extraordinary background.

Being born with great pride and elegance, Xareni was the least realistic among the three of them despite being the

eldest. She was simply too used to only meeting up with prestigious people. As a result, she looked down upon

normal people like Gerald. To Xareni, such people didn’t even have the right to befriend her!

“Alright…” replied Haven, saying nothing more.

With that, Gerald ordered a plate of fried rice with an egg on it. Once his meal arrived, he immediately began

eating slowly.

As he ate, he realized that the Lovewells didn’t really eat much based on what they ordered.

Sometime later, all three of them got up to get their baggage. Before they left, however, Haven sneakily returned

to Gerald’s side before whispering, “Hey, I live in the Lovewell Manor in the Logan Province! If you find the time,

come over and have some fun with me! Also, just in case you’ve forgotten, my full name is Haven Lovewell!”

Before Gerald could even reply, Xareni was already dragging Haven by the arm out of the restaurant.

“…What a naïve girl she is…” muttered Gerald to himself as he smiled in resignation.

He, for one, was in no mood to have any sort of fun with her.

Now that he was finally getting a chance to ignore all his past resentments and grudges for a few days, Gerald

wanted to take the opportunity to properly relax.

With that in mind, Gerald began touring around tourist spots in the Logan Province. Before he knew it, evening had

come and night was swiftly approaching.

Realizing that he still needed to find someplace to stay, Gerald was just about to go hotel hunting when he heard a

voice saying, “What do you plan on doing?”

The feminine voice had come from the entrance of an alleyway. Taking a few steps back to look down the darkened

area, Gerald realized that a few drunk youths had dragged a woman into the alley which only led to a dead end.

“What do you think? We’re going to have some fun with you, of course! Now, come on!” said one of the three

hooligans who instantly began dragging her further down the alley.

As she desperately struggled to escape, the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of another youth walking toward

them. Seeing that someone was coming over to help, the woman used all of her strength to shove the hooligan—

who was pulling her arm—away from her.

Thankfully, the hooligan was drunk enough to let go and the woman immediately ran over to the new youth’s side

before clinging on to his arm and crying out, “They’re trying to take liberties on me, hubby!”

She made sure to pinch his arm as well, a clear indication for him to cooperate with her.
