The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 540
As they were mocking Gerald, they suddenly stopped talking. They then looked outside in shock.
Two Yamaha motorcycles were parked at the restaurant. There were three men and a woman who got down from the motorcycles.
It seemed like they were going to have their meals in Dominoâs too.
âDmn! Xabrina, look! Itâs that btch, Lily!â
âF*ck! When we were studying in middle school, you had a bad relationship with her. And what a coincidence that the both of you even went to the same university after. You even beat her up a while back. What are you going to do if she sees you later?â
âOh, god. That tall dude is her boyfriend, and heâs a thug. He has quite the influence around here.
Bree, hurry up and hide from her!â
Their state of arrogance immediately changed to anxiousness.
Xabrina sneered. âWhy should I hide from her? I donât have to be afraid of her. I donât think that sheâll dare to do anything to me!â
At that moment, Xabrina did not have the time to bother about Gerald anymore. She crossed her arms around her chest, arrogantly, and glared at Lily, who had just entered the place.
âDoes Xabrina bear some grudges against that girl?â
âOoh⦠it looks like theyâre about to get into a fight. What am I even doing lingering here⦠this feels so awkward.â Gerald wanted to leave.
âD*mn! Well, well. It seems like enemies are surely bound to bump into each other. Xabrina, fancy seeing you here too!â
At first glance, Lily immediately spotted Sabrina and called out smugly.
âFranklin, this is the girl I told you about. Wanna know what happened in the university? Just because there was a man who liked her and was on her side, she slapped me when I got into a fight with her!â
Lily blurted the details of that past incident on the spot.
Xabrina did not give in either. The moment she saw Lily, her fury just grew.
It wasnât long before they were already at each otherâs throats.
Gerald merely listened to their quarrel from the sides.
He gathered from the rough observation that they had quite a good relationship with each other in middle school. However, they fell in love with the same guy at the same time, who was their classmate back then.
It all happened during their middle school, and everyone was in the phase of rebellion. If they were to compete for a boyfriend, the girls were much fiercer.
Xabrina was the teacherâs daughter. Hence she was quite famous at that time. She was not the typical miss goody two shoes, so she redeemed herself by having many friends she treated like her own brothers and sisters.
At the same time, Lily also knew a lot of senior girls from the society.
So the best friends ultimately turned against each other, and they even made an appointment to fight live on a broadcast platform on the internet.
Since then, they held deep resentment toward each other.
It lasted until they went to university. There was a rather powerful and influential rich heir who was trying to gain Xabrinaâs affections at that time.
Xabrina started finding fault with Lily and beat her up. She always bullied Lily.
They then returned home during the summer break. Lily wanted to take revenge on Xabrina.
âDonât worry, Lily. Is she the girl youâve been talking about right? Go ahead and slap her now. I just want to see who dares to make a move! Iâm Franklin Lockwood. Iâm sure youâve heard of me. Donât you?â
Franklin flashed a smile filled with menace.
The three gangsters were around three years younger than Gerald. Besides, their hairstyles and the way they dressed stood out quite a bit. To put it simply, they looked as though they werenât part of the societal norms.
But they were so slim.
Gerald did not bother meddling in such affairs which concerned those bunch of ignorant youth.
So he was about to leave soon.
âLet me tell you. Iâll definitely call Jimmy over if you dare to beat me up!â
Xabrina shrieked.
She noticed that Gerald was about to leave and cursed again.
âD*mn it, Gerald. You never fail to impress me. Iâm not afraid even though Iâm a girl. What are you afraid of? They want to beat me up, not you. What a coward!â She scowled and mocked him.
âIâve got some other business to deal with. I donât have time to play along with you. Whoâs the coward here? I just choose not to bother about this.â He retorted and continued walking away.
âFine! Go ahead and call him over so that I can take a good look at him. Let me tell you, my elder brother is a big gangster in Mayberry too. His name is Yale. Come at us if you dare. Iâm not afraid of you! Besides, if it doesnât concern the lot of you, get the hell out of here!â Franklin smiled coldly and replied.
Gerald had now reached the door. The moment he heard the name, he stopped right in his tracks and froze, stunned.
He then put one of his hands in his pocket and walked back over to them.
He tapped Franklinâs shoulders slightly. âBro, you mentioned just now. Whoâs your elder brother?â
