The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 581
Though Gerald was aware that the incident had a huge impact on Xavia, he never once thought that it would almost end her life.
âThat was the worst and darkest day in my sisterâs entire life. And itâs all because of you, the infamous peasant! Youâre well aware, Iâm sure, that everyone looked down on you and nobody would even talk to you back then. Nobody except for my sister. She would hold your hand in school, go shopping together, and even dine out with you! But did you ever consider that doing all that with you would affect how everyone looked at her?â
âHey, hey! Everyone, look! Itâs Xavia Yorke! The girlfriend of our schoolâs biggest peasant!â
âThat was what everyone was calling her back then. Despite that, she persevered and ignored the mockery just because she wanted to be with you. However, every girl has their self-esteem and one day my sister just couldnât take it anymore. She felt that she was being treated unjustly and yes, it was the day she broke up with you!â
âBut look at you now, still daring to claim that my sister is at fault!â
Gerald remained silent. He knew very well that Xavia wasnât at fault since everyone had their own right to choose their own partner. Even so, the way Xavia ended up becoming after that event was a surprise even to Gerald.
âDo you remember how my sister begged you that day?â asked Natasha, her eyes baleful.
âDo you remember how you ignored her? As a result, she became so overwhelmingly embarrassed to face you and her classmates that she quit studying completely! Thatâs the reason why she dropped out!
There were only a few more months to go before you guys would graduate but you ruined her at that very last stretch. Ten whole years of studying, gone, just like that!â
âAfter she left, she made up her mind to avoid you as much as possible which led her to move to Yanken since nobody knew you there. She was going to try to find a job there.â
âHowever, upon arriving there, her purse was stolen! Nobody can survive in Yanken without money so what could she do? Thankfully, she found a bar looking to hire which allowed her to finally settle down.
Not that she had much of a choice at that moment since she was already penniless.â
âHer luck, however, eventually turned to misfortune since one of the bosses there had molested her due to her being so pretty. She slapped him out of anger and because of that, she almost lost her life!
The one she had slapped was a very powerful person!â
âAfter getting on his bad side, it became even harder for her to find a proper job there. The boss wasnât allowing her to leave Yanken either. She couldnât even get train tickets to go home, and they continued to force my sister to obey every word they said!â
âDo you even remotely understand how scary it is for a girl to live in fear like that every day?â
âIn the end, she ended up washing plates in a regular restaurant. She wasnât paid in cash, but instead with meals and a place to stay in. All was not well though, since the lady boss kept bullying and even hitting her!â
âAt her lowest when she was about to end herself, a miracle presented itself before her. The Long familyâs butler coincidentally saw her and since they were short of maids to serve their second young master, Fred, he approached her asking if she would like to work for them. It was a blessing and she instantly agreed. What more, the second young master ended up falling in love with my sister and theyâre now engaged!â
âCan you believe it, Gerald? The first half of my sisterâs life was as terrible as what an arse like you would probably have wanted her to experience. Iâm sure you would never have imagined that she would finally have her time to shine! Let me tell you this, my now brother-in-law is very obedient to my sister! Everyone that used to bully her is now bankrupt and the same goes for the boss that had made my sisterâs life a living nightmare. Heâs living in complete misery now, though thatâs beside the point.
What Iâm getting at here, is that her biggest enemy is still you!â said Natasha with a cold-blooded face.
Gerald would never have imagined that so much had happened to Xavia after she left, nor would he have thought that she almost died because of him. However, the more surprising thing now, was that Xavia was now engaged to Fred. So thatâs how Xavia and her sister got so powerful. The puzzle pieces were starting to fit together.
âI see. So why donât you tell me where she is now?â asked Gerald.
âNot a problem. Come with me if you would like to see her!â said Natasha as she motioned a finger before turning around and walking off.
Frowning slightly, Gerald simply followed her.
Eventually, both of them reached a bar and the duo entered a room. Gerald could clearly see that nobody was in there.
âWhere is Xavia?â asked Gerald again.
âYou really wish to see her, donât you? Sure thing, Iâll let you meet her right this instant!â said Natasha as she clapped her hands.
At that moment, the sound of several footsteps could be heard outside. The second the door opened, at least ten security guards dressed in black rushed in before immediately surrounding Gerald.
âHahaha! Did you really think that Iâd bring you to her, Gerald? She despises you! Why would she ever want to see you, idiot! You knew I was going to hurt you eventually, yet you came along anyway!â
