Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1412
Turning to look at who had called out to him, he saw that it was a rather pretty young girl whom hedidn’t recognize…
“… ‘That guy?’” asked Gerald in a casual tone.
“Yeah! You’re a graduate of Mayberry University, right? Do you know Harper?” asked the girl.
“Indeed! He was my roommate, but before that… Have we even met before?” replied Gerald.
Nodding with a smile, the girl then laughed before saying, “So I wasn’t mistaken! It really is you! Nowonder you looked so familiar!”
“Who is he, Westlyn…?” asked the other girls from the group—who were each carrying their ownhandbag—as they curiously began scanning Gerald from head to toe, arms crossed.
‘While he does look pretty handsome, judging from his clothes alone, he’s probably not even anywhereclose to being wealthy!’ Thought the girls to themselves.
“Oh, him? He’s just the roommate of one of my hometown friends! I remember him rather distinctlysince he used to be willing to do just about anything to obtain a little money! He’d oftentimes be foundcleaning the trash up in our school and even running errands for others! That’s just how poor he was!”replied Westlyn as she introduced him to the rest of the girls.novelbin
“It’s not all that out of the ordinary, really. Every school has such a person, and if you’re sharp enough,you’ll realize that a person like this definitely exists in every other stage of your life, from elementaryschool till university! As they say, outstanding people will always be great, and those who live difficult
lives will always remain miserable!” said a good-looking boy donning branded sports attire—who hadbeen standing next to Westlyn this entire time—out of the blue.
“Hahaha! You truly are a natural at speaking, you know that, Micah? Just about anything that comesout of your mouth sounds philosophical! It’s hilarious, really! No wonder Westlyn was interested in you!”said one of the members of the group, prompting the rest of the young boys and girls to laugh aloud.
“Regardless… What are you doing now? Also, I heard that Harper’s doing pretty well these days. Heowns his own public-listed company now, right? Do both of you still keep in touch? From what I cansee, it almost seems like Harper hasn’t been looking out for you!” asked Westlyn rather curiously.
To be entirely honest, Westlyn had been asking around for Harper’s contact information for quite awhile now. It was the only reason why she had called out to Gerald in the first place.
Since both of them had been from the same hometown, it was no surprise that she was Harper’s highschool classmate. Since Harper had been rather famous back in high school, Westlyn had liked him forthe longest time back then.
However, upon entering university, she became a textbook example of an ugly duckling turning into awhite swan. Due to that, her taste and what she looked for in a man grew extremely different comparedto how it used to be back in her high school days.
Those who used to seem outstanding and cool back in high school felt like boring nobodies uponentering university. In fact, many of them even ended up changing even more upon entering society,and not in a good way, at least to Westlyn. To her, they simply ended up becoming exceedinglyordinary people.
As for Westlyn, her own temperament and attitude toward Harper grew increasingly different with everypassing stage as well. Essentially, she went from liking Harper, to ignoring Harper, and eventually,despising him. In fact, she didn’t even bother talking to him throughout their later years in university.
Thinking that Harper would only end up becoming an office worker once he stepped into society, sheeven ended up deleting his contact information!
Little did she know that he would instead end up becoming the chairman of a public listed company!
From the day she found out about that, she had always regretted deleting his phone number, and shehad constantly been trying to reobtain it ever since.
Now that Gerald was before her, she couldn’t help but wonder if her bumping into Harper’s ex-roommate today was god’s ridiculous answer to her pleas.
‘It truly must be God’s gift to me! While it’s true that I’ve undergone divorce once and though I’vealready found a new boyfriend, sparks could still fly if I were to contact Harper now! Heh! All girls,especially beautiful ones like myself, always need to be on the lookout for spare tires to fall back on,after all!’ Westlyn thought to herself.
Gerald himself could immediately tell what Westlyn was trying to go for, so he simply replied, “Wehaven’t contacted each other for a long time now. While I do have his WhatsApp Information on myphone, I think I’ve already lost it.”
“…You… What? You don’t even have a cell phone on you? Do you live in some forest or something?Who do you even think you’re trying to bluff?” asked Westlyn, her eyes now fully widened.
“I speak the truth. Even if I had my old phone on me now, he’d have probably changed his number bythis time, no?” replied Gerald.
From what Gerald remembered, he had told Zack to make some arrangements for Harper, and basedon what Westlyn had said, Zack seemed to have given him a company. Knowing Zack, Gerald
assumed that Harper would’ve been given a company with a market value of a few billion dollars. Whilenot exactly too valuable—at least for Gerald—it was the thought that counted!
Whatever the case was, Gerald’s words instantly changed the way Westlyn looked at him. After all, hehad made it clear that he was of no use to her now!
“…I see! I should’ve realized that Harper wouldn’t even bother with someone as foolish as you! I meanjust look at the state you’re in! Trash! A complete waste of my time and effort!” cursed Westlyn.
