Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 624
Aidenâs voice was dispirited, almost as though he had just lost a great battle.
âItâs fine. Just hurry up and get inside first!â replied Gerald as he patted both their shoulders before heading inside with everyone else.
âGerald! Gerald!â
However, before he managed to get far, he heard a femaleâs voice calling out for him.
Turning back to see who it was, he was surprised to see Felicity standing there.
Though he hadnât met her in quite a while, he was still slightly taken aback at how much her beauty had increased within that period of time.
âFelicity? What are you doing here?â asked Gerald.
He wasnât sure how she had managed to find him. Thinking back, however, it was probably because his home address was no big secret.
âHumph! Since I hadnât managed to catch you at all after returning to school, I decided to personally come over to see you!â
For a period of time, Felicity had struggled with herself when she found out about Geraldâs true identity.
Though it took her a while, she eventually had a complete change of heart and attitude toward Gerald.
Back when she was still unsure whether Gerald was truly Mr. Crawford, she had constantly been confused as to whether she was truly in love with Gerald or not.
However, that changed the day she saw all those people bowing before Gerald in that small neighborhood. It was at that moment when she no longer felt conflicted about her feelings.
âWell now youâve seen me! Youâve achieved your goal!â replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
âPfft! Since when have you become this way? I know, you must have several girls by your side now so youâve forgotten all about your classmates! Regardless, thereâs actually another reason I came looking for you today!â
Gerald simply nodded, signaling for her to go on.
âSo hereâs the thing. I recently started a celebrity company and Iâm an anchor now. Since my company is under yours, I thought that we could go to Yorknorth Mountain to try attracting more attention and customers! However, the people there told us that we werenât allowed to enter!â replied Felicity.
âI can help with that. From now on, youâre all free to enter!â said Gerald with a smile.
Felicity pursed her lips slightly when she saw how kind he was treating her.
While she was filled with joy, her heart bore equal amounts of sorrow.
She was naturally happy because Gerald wasnât blaming her for being so rude and mean to him in the past. He was still treating her as a classmate and friend.
However, she was also sad because she couldnât help but recall the time when they were just starting university. Back then, Gerald would constantly sneak peeks at her. As a girl, she definitely understood what that meant.
Gerald was interested in her.
At the time, however, how could she possibly have been interested in someone like him? Looking back at it now, she was filled with regrets.
It wouldâve been great if she had gotten together with Gerald back then!
âSpeaking of which, could you do me a favor as well?â asked Gerald out of the blue while Felicity was still reminiscing in her head.
ââ¦Huh? A favor? Is there anything I can help you with?â asked Felicity, visibly surprised.
âYes. Why donât you come in first? We can further discuss the matter inside!â replied Gerald with a smile.
While this was happening, a crowd had already formed in Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, and the banquet was getting livelier by the minute.
Ever since Jessica disbanded and auctioned off the initially named Mayberry Commercial Street so that Gerald could focus on starting his own business, Wayfair Mountain Entertainment had been auctioned off as well for management purposes.
Since Yunus had inexplicably decided to host his birthday banquet here of all places, everyone attending naturally knew what this meant.
To put bluntly, the Long family was going to plant their flag here again in the future! They were going to rise again from where they once fell in the past!
âAh, Mr. Long! So many people came over today! Theyâre all certainly giving you a lot of face!â praised a servant as he looked at how festive the banquet was.
âHaha! But of course! Also, have Giya and her family arrived?â asked Yunus.
âIâve asked about them and it seems that theyâre all on their way here. Looks like sheâll finally be yours, Mr. Long!â
âHumph! I treat her so well and Iâm even willing to lower myself in front of her. To think that she was in love with Gerald before this! If I hadnât pressured her, she wouldâve just continued treating me as though I didnât exist! Yet the more she acts that way, the more I want her to be mine! D*mn it! Iâm only getting angrier by talking about this! I donât want to talk about it anymore!â
âOh no-!â
At that moment, a waitress had been trying to refill Yunusâs wine glass. However, she accidentally knocked the wine glass over!
âD*mn it! Donât you have any-â
While Yunus was already prepared to launch an onslaught of curses, the moment he saw how beautiful the waitress was, he immediately stopped.
