The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 668
Almost everyone present at the scene was stunned speechless.
While Molly was equally terrified and sad for Mila as she watched her good friend get shoved to the floor, Hallie was contrastingly sneering like there was no tomorrow.
President Crawford herself, who was getting a massage at that moment, pretended like she had seen nothing.
âHumph! How bold of you to offend Mr. Crawford! If I donât personally teach you a lesson now, youâll never learn!â shouted Yoel as he raised his arm, seemingly ready to beat Mila up.
However, before he could launch his first blow, he paused right in the nick of time.
He had noticed just in time, that the lock screen on Milaâs phoneâwhich had earlier fallen to the sideâ
contained Mr. Crawfordâs photograph!
ââ¦Hmm? What?!â said Yoel, startled.
âDo you know Mr. Crawford?â asked Yoel, clearly surprised to see his godbrotherâs photo in some assisting staff memberâs phone.
He then picked her phone up, trying hard to figure out who she really was. Since he wasnât able to come up with any logical conclusions yet, he refrained from beating her up just yet.
âReturn my phone to me!â said Mila as she snatched her phone from Yoelâs hands.
âIâm asking you now. Why do you have Mr. Crawfordâs photograph as your lock screen photo?â asked Yoel again, his voice filled with confusion.
While her eyes were closed at that moment, even President Crawford had heard his question. She then gestured for the person massaging her to leave before glancing suspiciously at Mila, even scanning her from head to toe.
âThatâs a personal question!â replied Mila, holding on to her phone carefully.
âThen whatâs your name?â asked Yoel as he scratched the back of his head. He seemed to have just remembered something important, which was what prompted the question.
âMila Smith!â
Hearing that, Yoelâs eyes widened slightly.
âMila Smith⦠Why does that name sound so familiarâ¦? Where have I heard it beforeâ¦?â
âHold on⦠Aiden told me that Mr. Crawfordâs girlfriend was doing her internship in Northbayâ¦â
ââ¦Are you from Mayberry University?â asked Yoel, slightly astonished by his own conclusion.
âI am!â replied Mila with a slight nod.
âF*ck!â Yoel was even more surprised now that his deduction was actually correct!
âThen you definitely know my brother, right? Gerald? You even have his photo in your phone! Could it really be that youâre his girlfriend? Do you know who Aiden and Zack are?â
âI know them, yes!â replied Mila, giving another nod.
Yoel almost jumped in place after hearing her reply.
âSh*t, she really is my sister-in-law! What have I done? How could I nearly have beaten her up?â
âIâm screwed for sure this time!â Yoel thought to himself as he turned to look at President Crawford meekly.
Seeing his reaction, she immediately stood up.
She had naturally overheard their entire conversation, and she too was surprised by the revelation as she walked toward Mila.
âAre you really Geraldâs girlfriend?â asked the president.
âYes, she is! Sheâs Geraldâs girlfriend, Mila!â shouted Mollyâwho had taken a step forward at that momentâout of the blue.
Seeing that she could no longer deny it, Mila simply bit her lower lip slightly before nodding in agreement.
Mila had been extremely reluctant to admit it since she wanted to be more independent instead of solely relying on Gerald. It was the reason why she had endured all her hardships alone. She simply didnât want to only be known as eye candy for Gerald if she was to continue being his girlfriend.
Because of her lack of reliance on Geraldâs name in her workspace however, the truth only served to amplify how stunned the people there were.
âH-hot d*mn! Is she really Mr. Crawfordâs girlfriend?â
âI guess so! While she really is beautiful, I wonder why sheâs working as a receptionist hereâ¦?â
As the others began discussing the current situation, Mila noticed that President Crawford was staring at her.
âP-President Crawford, I-â
âYou donât have to call me President Crawford anymore. After all, if youâre Geraldâs girlfriend, you should be addressing me as your sister!â replied Jessica, a faint smile on her face.
âSister⦠Are⦠Are you Jessica? Geraldâs elder sister?â
At last, Mila finally knew who President Crawford really was.
