The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 672
âIâm sure you know how straightforward a person Maia is, Gerald⦠After all, sheâs been like that even from when she was still our captain! Itâs just the way she is, so please donât take what she said to heart!â consoled Vincy.
âWell, alright!â replied Gerald, peeking at Maia once before nodding at Vincy.
Since Vincy had been the only one treating him well, he chose to follow her advice.
Besides, if he really wanted to embarrass Maia, he could do so any time he pleased. However, he felt that that would be slightly childish of him, so he simply refrained from doing so.
Gerald wouldnât usually have disputes with girls like her anyway.
âI hope you mean what you say⦠Speaking of which, if youâre not too busy, letâs hang out for a short while and catch up with each other! After graduating from high school, I asked about you and found out that you had been accepted into Mayberry University! I told you that youâd be able to do it back then!â
said Vincy.
Back in high school, though she never actually said it, Vincy admired Gerald quite a bit. After all, Gerald was always studying and as a result, his results were top notch. What more, she also knew that he was the kind of person who would always persevere to the very end, regardless of the task at hand.
Once, the two of themâwho were competing together as a small teamâended up becoming champion in one of the many competitions they participated in. Back then, Vincy had been extremely excited since she got to hold Geraldâs hand while receiving the award.
After all, she quite frankly had slight feelings for Gerald back then.
She honestly wanted to see Gerald finally get his moment and rise above everyone else.
However, that moment simply never came. As a result, her feelings for him were also short-lived.
In the end, Gerald was simply too poor. Although she continued treating Gerald well, she no longer tried to gain his affection.
It wasnât as though she looked down on him or anything. She simply still retained a rather immature mindset. Putting it frankly, she wanted a more heroic person to be her life partner.
Gerald however, was rather unwilling to join her, simply because he didnât want to deal with Maia any more than he needed to.
While he honestly wanted to refuse Vincyâs suggestion right there and then, Vincy seemed to have wanted to have a nice long chat with him from the very moment they had met again the day before.
He couldnât really deny that he wanted to chat with Vincy as well. After all, it had been so long since they last met.
Thinking about this made it much harder for Gerald to decline her invitation.
Since the results of the jade pendant wouldnât be out till a bit longer, Gerald eventually nodded slightly in response, not wanting to disappoint Vincy.
âVincy! You-!â
At that moment, Maia and the others were sitting beside a hot spring while taking photographs.
Seeing that Vincy had brought Gerald along, Maia was stunned speechless. She found it weird that Vincy would even want someone like Gerald around.
âWell, since heâs already here anyway, letâs just have a chat together! This is as good a chance as any to catch up with each other!â replied Vincy immediately.
Hearing that, Maia fumed slightly before turning to look the other side.
Jamier himself wasnât going to argue with Gerald. Instead, he turned to look at both Warren and Maia before saying, âWhat do you think? Isnât the scenery here fantastic?â
âItâs definitely something!â replied Maia.
âThanks for today, Jamier. You know, next time when you come over to Mayberry, Iâll get my dad to use his connections to allow us to enter Wayfair Mountain Entertainment to have some fun! Just the few of us together!â said Warren.
âAre you talking about the one in Mayberry? Thatâs the most luxurious place there! Take my word that youâll definitely be satisfied if you go there, Jamier. Honestly, even as a person from Mayberry, Iâve never actually set foot into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. However, Iâve heard lots about it! Itâs not easy to enter if youâre just some random nobody!â added Maia as she let out a heavy sigh.
The way he worded it earlier, Warrenâs father clearly had some kinds of connections. After hearing what Maia said, Warren simply patted his own chest twice before saying, âNot to worry, youâll definitely be coming along as well when we eventually go there to have some fun! Itâll be just the five of us! You, me, Jamier, Vincy, and Lennard!â
It was obvious why he had deliberately mentioned those five names.
âOh? Well now I definitely have to see Wayfair Mountain Entertainment for myself then!â
âOf course you do! Also, anyone who wishes to enter that place needs an admission ticket. You canât just sneak in all willy-nilly!â
As she said that, Maia rolled her eyes slightly at Geraldâs direction.
It was clear as day that she was mocking him.
âWhat else can I say to that? Little do they know that I used to be the owner of that place!â
ââ¦Hmm? Look over there, doesnât that girl look familiarâ¦? Oh god. Vincy, hurry! Look there!â said Maia out of the blue as she started pointing excitedly at a girl standing next to the hot spring.
