Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 419
It was a call from Morgana.
She told him that the gathering for high school friends was going to be held that afternoon.
Morgana had simply called to remind him about the event and to tell him to be there early.
It had been three days since Gerald had last eaten a meal at Mead Hall.
So Giya had been gone for three days now.
Morgana had elaborated on the event the day before. Soon, many of their classmates would start their internships
or work.
Therefore, the gathering was planned for old friends to catch up with one another while they were still here.
At first, Gerald had not wanted to participate. However, Gerald had attended an opening ceremony for a newly
invested company the day before. As he was about to leave, he bumped into Morgana and a few others who had
gone to the carnival to have some fun.
Tagging along with Morgana was another female high school friend by the name of XellaJaquin.
She was their assistant monitor back then and she was definitely one of the class beauties. She was excellent in her
academics as well. Similar to the old Sharon, she had always had a good relationship with Gerald who shared an

Gerald found out that Xella had returned to Serene County for future prospects. She seemed to have also found a
nice job there.
The moment they saw Gerald, they tried their best to invite him over as well.
Gerald found it hard to reject so many people so he ended up promising that he would go.
After telling Morgana he hadn’t forgotten, he hung up.
A few seconds later, he received a message on his phone. It was Xella.
“So when are we going, Gerald?”
Gerald knew that she lived in Serene County. Actually, it wasn’t too far off from the hotel Gerald was currently
staying in.
On the day they met, Gerald had joked that they should go to the gathering together.
However, he hadn’t expected Xella to agree to that.
“I’ll be right there soon!” replied Gerald.
“No need to rush. I need another forty minutes to wash my hair and some other things. Let’s meet up at the
Tranquil Road bus stop later!”
“No problem!”
Though Xella used to be the assistant class monitor, she was a quiet and gentle girl who rarely talked.
She just liked to study and her friends in class were mostly the more studious people.
A good example would be how she didn’t like talking to people like Cameron—who had a powerful family
background—and Waylon Letts—who was the wealthiest in class—since they were both quite mischievous. Money
and power just weren’t how she chose her friends.
Meeting her again, however, Gerald could see that Xella had undergone some big changes from when they had last
met years ago.
The way she presented herself, she had become quite optimistic and capable. She was even able to joke with the
others, much unlike her past self.
It seemed that girls would naturally change after experiencing different things in society.
Ignoring all that, something much more important was on Gerald’s mind. He remembered back when he had an
ambiguous relationship with Xella at the start of their junior year.
She had been with him not because of his charm.
Back then, Gerald was still considerably handsome. However, the things that mattered to her was his honesty and
his studious nature. Adding to that, he also liked to listen to a group of girls—which she was a part of—when they
told him things. As a result, an ambiguous relationship blossomed between the two.
However, his ambiguous relationship with Xella lasted only for a short while. It ended not too long after.
Shaking his head, he batted the old memories away before taking his car key out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGerald then drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the Tranquil Road bus stop.
He didn’t need to keep a low profile anymore since he was no longer in the university.
Besides, he wasn’t driving the car to show off. He simply needed a vehicle to get somewhere.
He knew that there was a chance that Sharon and Lilian might be at the gathering as well. Though they didn’t know
who his true identity was, they at least already knew that he was rich. Knowing that, Gerald didn’t think too much
about them.
When he arrived at the bus stop, there was still half an hour left before the appointed time.
Since he still had some time before she arrived, he parked his car at a nearby parking lot.
He then went to a coffee shop to buy two cups of coffee before finally walking toward the bus stop to wait for Xella.
“Gerald?”
While sitting there, he heard a female voice call out to him.
Gerald turned around.
Before him, was a girl intimately locking arms with a man. Both of them were wearing sunglasses and they were
dressed up fashionably.
Though her eyes were hidden, the rest of her face was beautiful. She even had a nice figure going for her. The
man, on the other hand, looked slightly displeasing to the eye to be absolutely honest. He was short, plump, and
ugly. His face was filled with pockmarks too.
Despite them looking like night and day, they appeared to be a couple.
