Chapter 574
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 574
Willie knew that Gerald had purposely made him wait for that long. After all, he had made Gerald go through a similarly long wait in the past.
While this was happening, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding down the roads of Yanken. It seemed to be heading toward Mayberry.
Sitting at the back of the car was a stylish and young, rich woman. To be frank, âwomanâ would be an overstatement since she looked more like a young lady who had freshly graduated from university.
âAre we there yet?â asked the lady as she opened her eyes slowly. She was focused on the scenery outside the carâs window.
âWeâre almost in Mayberry City, miss!â replied the chauffeur.
âTell the cars behind us to catch up!â ordered the lady after hearing that.
The chauffeur then did as she ordered by relaying the order through a walkie-talkie. Behind the Phantom, around twenty Maybach cars followed closely. Any other cars on the road had to make way for this group of expensive-looking cars.
âMayberry City and its Mayberry University⦠These were the two forsaken places where I had to endure all those insults and humiliation⦠Heh, Iâm finally back,â said the lady as she reminisced while clenching her fists.
She clenched so hard that her long nails almost dug into her skin.
âMiss, your sister is going to be studying at that university, isnât she? Heh, if thatâs the case, sheâs going to be your junior!â said the chauffeur. âIâve also heard that the seniors are going to organize a debate competition. Will you be participating in that?â
âJust shut up!â scolded the lady as she closed her eyes again.
The only sound left after that, was the revving of the carâs engine and it wasnât long before they arrived at Mayberry.
Moving back to Gerald, he woke up fairly early the next morning. Since he was done with most of the projects at hand, he decided that it was high time for him to return to university.
The three months of summer holiday had passed by extremely quickly. In just two days, the debate competition would be held. Hence, Gerald had decided to return to Mayberry and it was also why he had told Xeno to transfer his car over.
After bidding farewell to the Winters, Gerald was sent off by his sisters-in-law. They held onto his hands right up to the moment he got to his car. They even went so far as to chase after the car till they reached the townâs entrance. Only after seeing his car disappear on the horizon, did they return with reluctant looks on their faces.
âLook at Gerald now. Heâs doing so well! Like Iâve always said even from when he was still a child, I always knew that heâd become someone whom everyone would look up to, right guys?â said Sandrilla every time she saw a friend.
While he was driving, Gerald received a phone call. It was from Harper Sullivan, the head of their dorm.
âWhen are you coming back to Mayberry, Gerald?â
âIâm actually on my way right now!â replied Gerald.
âHaha! Well, Benjamin and I are already here in the dorms!â
âD*mn! Are you guys pumped for the exams or something? Wonât your girlfriend nag you to spend more time with her?â asked Gerald with a chuckle.
âMy babyâs gone back to her own university to prepare for her exams as well! Besides, our universityâs debate competition is earlier than theirs! What more, my cousinâs going to start studying in our university, so I just came along with her! Funnily enough, Benjiâs cousin is also studying here so heâs already here as well!â explained Harper.
âAlright, alright, Iâll be at the university by today, so weâll talk then!â said Gerald before hanging up and stepping slightly harder on the carâs pedal.
After their third year, some of the fourth year students had gone for their internships while the others chose to remain in the university for their post-graduation. Those from a select few majors however, still had three months left in their semesters.
During the holidays, Gerald barely had any time to revise at all. He had also missed seeing Harper and Benjamin after being separated for so long.
It was past nine when Gerald finally arrived at the campus. Just as he had anticipated, it would seem that it was the first day for many of the new students, which explained the hordes of unfamiliar faces.
âOh wow, though Iâve heard rumors that Mayberry University was filled with rich heirs, just look at that!
What kind of sports car even is that?â gossiped several girls as soon as Geraldâs car arrived at the entrance.
