Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 156 “So you’re sayingyou’re also from Sunnydale University? I’ve never seen you around, though!” Dickson was smiling thewhole time. “No. I’m from Mayberry University.” Gerald knew how to stay calm no matter what kind ofvibes the other people were giving him. “Mayberry University is fine. Anyways, what does your familydo? How did you make Elena fall for you?” Dickson asked. “Well, Dickson, allow me to tell you. Hecame from a small village, and his family runs a tiny grocery store! How do you still not understand bythe way he dresses?” Amber answered. The highest state of ignorance was pretending someone didn’texist even when he was just right in front of you. Although it was hurtful, nobody would actually point itout. However, Amber had been doing that to Gerald all along, and it showed how much she despisedhim. “Oh, it must have been tough studying in Mayberry coming from a small village. Do let me know ifyou’re in any kind of trouble. My father knows the dean, and I can get things settled for you. If you needa loan, you could always come to me too. I’m from Sunnydale, but I’m actually well connected!Anyways, have you taken any sort of loans before?” Dickson soon noticed that Amber had beenignoring him… “Yes, I did apply for a three-year loan. I used the money to pay for tuition!” repliedGerald. Gerald initially intended to prove that Elena was wrong, but now he decided it best to keep alow profile. There were three reasons for it: One, Gerald did apply for a loan and did indeed pay thetuition fee with that money. Two, even if he was trying to help Elena, there was no need to go to suchan extent. Gerald realized that Elena wasn’t just pretending that he was her boyfriend, but she actuallywanted to develop a different kind of relationship. It wasn’t him being narcissistic. He could actually feelit. Even though Gerald did fancy pretty girls and would easily fall for any one of them, he wasn’t a badperson in general. Gerald had always wanted his girlfriend to connect with on a deeper level, but Elenawas definitely not that person. This was because the first time they met, Elena injured his face,resulting in Gerald not wanting to date her. Three, he did not want to expose his true identity. He wasuncomfortable each time he became the center of attention. He never understood why anyone wouldlike that. “Damn! You had to pay your school fees with a three-year loan? You must be broke!” “Fuck!This is big news. How could someone be so poor they had to apply for a three-year loan? I’d be

embarrassed even if I had to just apply for one. I’d probably kill myself!” Amber and the girls mocked.Ruby frowned, thinking Elena must have gone crazy to have chosen a guy like him! Why would shechoose someone like him! “They say children from poor families are more independent. Well, it doesseem right. But if you require money, you can always approach me. I’ll gladly lend it to you since Elena,and I are schoolmates. We can be friends too!” Dickson smiled. Even though it was a small gesture, itwas clear they were mocking him. Being the student president, he was clearly good with words. Everysentence that came out of his mouth subtly insulted Gerald. “There is no need for that, but thank youanyway.” Gerald smiled and politely rejected his offer. “You’re always welcome. Anyways, since you’restudying at Mayberry University, have you been to the nearby attractions? You should go check outMayberry Commercial Street and Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. How could you not when you’realready at Mayberry, right? Why not I show you around after this?. My father knows the CEO of arestaurant on Commercial Street. I could bring you there!” “Hey Dickson, don’t you remember whatElena’s family does? Even if Gerald pays a visit, Elena could bring him!” said Amber smiled as shesmiled. “Oh, right. How could I have forgotten? I only remember that Gerald is a pretty poor pauperwho hasn’t been anywhere before. Well, it seems like he’s been frequenting Mayberry CommercialStreet after being in a relationship with Elena.” “Oops… definitely my fault for having bad memory!Hahaha!” Dickson hit his head as he laughed it off.novelbin
