Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 458

Gerald tried to calm her down.

“Who were these two? How did they even come in here? Did they know the rules?” exclaimed a middle-aged man from the other table. The entire room fell into a hushed whisper.

It was nothing but plain rudeness stealing Elena’s limelight while she was still talking on stage.

All the more, standing up while everyone else was seated must have caught the attention of the Larsons.

Everyone’s attention then shifted back to the stage to see how Elena would react.

Tears welled up in her eyes as she dropped the microphone in her hand.

“You came!” Elena cried.

Gerald cleaned his pants, and when he heard Elena’s voice, he realized she was looking right at him.

“Yes. Happy birthday!” Gerald replied awkwardly.

He looked around, realizing he didn’t actually bring any gifts for her except his car keys.

“I’m sorry I didn’t manage to prepare anything for your birthday. I can only wish,” Gerald said apologetically.

“I thought you’d forgotten me!” Elena wiped off her tears, bolting toward Gerald and embracing him as tightly as she could.

The scene shocked everyone.

Even Hayward and Sharon were stupefied.

Gerald must have gotten lucky—how on earth did he ever get that likeness of a goddess?

Hayward failed to comprehend, and even Leila and the others could not believe their eyes.

“I’ll celebrate with you again tonight!” Gerald smiled.

Gerald had made an effort to be present, only to shut Hayward up and the rest. But this wasn’t what he had in mind, and all turned out to be a mighty embarrassing affair.

“Alright. Now’s your chance to make it up to me.”

Elena’s tears stopped falling.

Once she had calmed down, Gerald left the scene with Lilian.

The two walked in front while Hayward, Leila, and the rest tagged behind.

They felt really embarrassed by what happened earlier, but they were very curious about who Gerald truly was. How could he do that to Elena?

After walking for some distance, they finally reached the car.

“Ms. Cole, I’ve been waiting for you but couldn’t get hold of you through your phone.”

Quartney was waiting next to the car, in her hands, laid the contract…
