The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1207
Gerald knew Naomiâs personality well. As long as she thought that she was able to solve an issue, she simply wouldnât rely on others to help her. In fact, she would still refuse to beg others for help, even if she couldnât solve the issue in the end!
He also knew that she was probably feeling guilty about asking for hisâand in turn, Zackâsâhelp after receiving so much of his money during their last meeting.
âFor a teacher, she still behaves like a silly girlâ¦â Gerald thought to himself as he drove Naomi to Mayberry First High School.
Upon parking his car at the entrance, both of them had just taken a few steps into the school when a female studentâcarrying a backpackâsaw Naomi and called out, âMiss Milton! Hello!â
From her greeting, it was evident that she was one of Naomiâs students. Though her clothes were well kept and her face was considerably beautiful, Gerald could tell that the girl barely had any confidence in her. After all, she hardly even dared to raise her head while talking to others. While observing her, Gerald also noticed that her backpack was slightly torn.
âYou havenât gone home yet, Sherry?â asked Naomi in a slightly concerned tone.
After lowering her head even more, Sherry then replied, âI-I was told to stay back at school, miss⦠Iâve already written about how you remained at school throughout the entire day the day before yesterdayâ¦
They told me that it could be used as evidence! Iâm really sorry I canât help with much, Miss Milton! But I truly believe that you werenât the one who had taken the money!â
Sherryâs voice slowly got softer and softer, and by the end of her sentence, the now teary-eyed girlâs voice was barely audible.
Smiling subtly, Naomi then said, âItâs fine, Sherry. You said the truth and thatâs all that matters to meâ¦
Regardless, your results have been wavering slightly of late⦠Itâs almost time for the final high school exam you know? Focus more on that and give it your all, alright? Now, itâs getting pretty late. Hurry along home, now!â
After getting patted on the head, Sherry then nodded before leaving the school.
As Naomi watched her run off, Gerald averted his gaze from Sherry, disallowing Naomi from noticing the sudden seriousness in his eyes.
ââ¦Sheâs the most obedient student in the class, you know? Sheâs extremely diligent when it comes to her studies as well. Seeing her that hardworking, I was always willing to stay back at school to teach her⦠However, it was about a month ago when her mood suddenly turned slightly bad⦠Iâm not sure what happened, but it influenced her results slightly negatively as well!â said Naomi, concern in her voice.
âStudies arenât the only thing you should be concerned about, you know? If you think the student deserves it, then as a teacher, you should be concerned about her life as well. You should take note of whether there are any sore spots that she refuses to talk about, or whether somethingâs happened to her family⦠Things like that, you know?â replied Gerald as he smiled at Naomi.
âYou almost sound like youâve previously worked as a teacher yourself,â said Naomi as she returned the smile.
âI have, but nowhere near your level of dedication, of course! I was a Biology teacher for a short period, but then again, I only taught by reading out of the textbook!â
Amused, Naomi simply chuckled at his reply, and soon enough, both of them arrived at the principalâs office.
Before they even entered, however, both of them could already hear the frantic yells of a woman from inside the principalâs office.
âIâm telling you, officers, sheâs the culprit! You really donât have to investigate any further! I swear to god that thereâs nobody else capable of doing the deed! Besides, not only do we have a testimony now, but we also have material evidence! I mean, just look at the house sheâs just bought for herself! Iâve been wondering for a while how she was so willing to suddenly fork out so much to buy that house! At long last, I finally realized that she had her eyes on the cash this entire time! Itâs been her plan this entire time, I tell you! So again, thereâs no need to investigate anymore! Just capture and take her away already! Imprison or shoot her in the head, I donât care! Just do whatever you need to do!â
âMiss Yallop, please be quiet⦠Solid evidence is needed before we do anythingâ¦â replied the male officer as both of the police looked helplessly at Yasmine.
It was at that moment when Gerald and Naomi decided to step into the principalâs office.
Staring at the teacher who looked to be around the age of twenty-four, Gerald remembered how Naomi had said that Yazminâs husband was quite capable.
While Naomi had only been able to join the school after passing the official teacher examination, Yazmin was simply given an important position in the school the moment she was recruited.
As time passed, the difference between Yazmin and Naomiâs capabilities became more and more discernible. With Naomi clearly being more adept at her job, it was no wonder why the principal had handed the more important tasks for Naomi to deal with.
Knowing that only caused Yazminâs jealousy to skyrocketâ¦
