Chapter 1617

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1617 With that in mind, Gerald quickly got the girl off him.

In response, the surprised Nori then asked, “Why have you returned, Gerald? And why didn’t you tell me that you were coming back in advance?”

“I did try to look for you, but your guards told me that you had gone out! Due to that, I came over here to see if I would have any luck finding you!” explained Gerald.

Upon hearing that, Nori was instantly overjoyed. After all, she had missed Gerald dearly ever since they parted ways. She had also been bored out of her mind since then.

Regardless, upon seeing how intimate Nori was being with Gerald, the young man in white furiously stomped over to them before asking, “Who is he, Nori?”

Glaring back at the man in white, Nori then said in a cold tone, “He’s my boyfriend, Johnie Lager! With that said, you’d best stop pestering me or he’ll teach you a good lesson!”

Gerald himself could only frown when he heard Nori’s claim. This woman was far too proficient in using others as her shield…

“…Sorry, but I’m not her boyfriend!” denied Gerald, not wanting to be taken advantage of that easily.

Hearing that, Nori turned to glare at Gerald next, annoyed by his insensitivity. After all, wasn’t it obvious that she was just trying to rid herself of Johnie?

Either way, the angered young man went by the name of Johnie Lager, and he had been pursuing Nori for the longest time. To his dismay, Nori didn’t seem to like him at all, and she seemed reluctant to even look at him! Though it made him deeply upset, her actions only served to fuel his need to make her his.

Ignoring Nori’s glares, Gerald—who very much preferred not to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings—then added, “Whatever the case is, it appears that you have some things to attend to at the moment, Nori. With that in mind, we can find someplace to sit and talk once you’re done settling things!”

Just as Gerald was about to walk away, however, the now nervous Nori instantly reached out to wrap her arms around Geralds!

As if she was going to let him off that easily when he had come with the specific intent to meet her!

Besides, he still owed her one!

Making sure to press her bosom against Gerald’s arm, Nori then whispered, “Don’t forget that you still owe me a favor, Gerald! Look, this man is extremely troublesome! If you pretend to be my boyfriend and help me get rid of him, I’ll consider that favor to be accomplished!”

When she put it that way, Gerald could only silently agree. After all, he was a man of his words.

Understanding that Gerald’s silence signified his approval, Nori then turned to face Johnie before putting on a stern expression as she warned, “Look, Johnie, I’m busy at the moment, so please stop pestering me! I already have a boyfriend, as you can see, so know that you and I won’t ever be a thing!

Now, goodbye!”

Upon hearing that, Johnie instantly felt humiliated. He was the young master of the Lager family… The fact that the woman he loved was being snatched away from him right before his eyes was nothing short of disgraceful!

After a short pause, Johnie pointed at Gerald before growling, “…You there! What’s your name? I’m challenging you to a duel!”

Raising a brow in response, Gerald couldn’t help but feel that Johnie was rather ignorant. After all, he was still unwilling to let go of Nori even though she had explicitly rejected him.

Snorting disdainfully, Nori simply glared daggers at Johnie as she retorted, “Are you seriously challenging my boyfriend to a duel, Johnie? With how weak you are, a single pinch from him is enough to kill you!”

Hearing that, Johnie was instantly infuriated! Wasn’t Nori looking down on him too much? In the end, he was still a Ninth-rank Chakra King!

“Listen here, kid! If you don’t accept my challenge today, I definitely won’t be allowing you to leave this place alive…!”
