Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 307 “I’m sorry, Gerald. I’ve disgraced you too,” Queta wept. “I shouldn’t have come here, to a place likethis!”

It was her birthday today and she was spending it with her only friend in the world. Even Queta’sfeelings would be hurt by such ridicule.

No one understood her feelings better than Gerald. He too had once been poor. Whenever his pridehad been trampled on like that, it felt like he was being stabbed through the heart.

When Queta was being attacked by those girls, Gerald had wanted to retaliate.

But if he’d done that, how much more would Queta suffer in class with them from that point onwards?Anyway, he hadn’t really understood what was going on until the end, just as they were walking away,and it’s not as though Gerald could chase after them and give them five across the face, right?

“Don’t mind it. The day will be over before you know it,” Gerald consoled her. “What you’ve got to doright now is work hard at your studies!”novelbin

He wondered if he ought to ask Aiden to help look after her here.

Queta nodded vigorously.

“Wait right here for me. I’ve got to go get something. I’ll be right back!” Gerald told her with a smile, andthen slipped outside.

He was going to get her a cake.

Earlier, he’d placed an order online with a dessert shop on campus.

Outside, he had encountered two dozen young men and women crowding around a girl withsunglasses. They had all gone inside together and everyone was wearing the latest fashions.

Gerald didn’t have any interest in them. Perhaps he’d heard that Linda girl mention something aboutsomeone’s birthday? That was probably her, then.

Whatever.

Gerald found the dessert shop, which was just close to Surati. It took him another fifteen minutes tosecure the cake and then he headed back.

Now there was a massive crowd of students outside the restaurant. They were peering in through theentrance, with some even taking pictures on their cell phones.

Something must have happened.

“Hot d*mn! I guess that girl must have pissed off Miss Liara! Really, now… of all the people to pick afight with!”

“Lucky that it’s Miss Liara’s birthday today and she doesn’t want to make too big a fuss over it—otherwise, that girl would be done for!”

“But what exactly did she do wrong?”

“Seems like there was an old grudge from before. Sad…she’s quite the beauty. This is gonna betragic!”

The onlookers were all in heated discussion over the matter.

Ignoring everything else, Gerald pushed his way through the crowd, and got a great shock!

Several girls were pulling Queta’s hair and holding her down on the floor.

One woman sat imperiously before her, one leg crossed over the other.

Queta’s face was red and raw, as though she’d been hit.

“Let her go!” Gerald roared. Charging in, he shoved away the girls around Queta.

“Hmph! So it really was the two of you…” The woman in charge here rose to her feet. “I’ve searchedhigh and low to no avail, but in the end you came to me on your own!”

Now that she’d opened her mouth to speak, Gerald finally remembered who she was.

It was the woman he’d quarrelled with, that night at the hospital.

She had connections to Damien Rye.

He hadn’t recognized her right away because she was made up in a different style today.

“Well? Why did this have to come to violence?” Gerald hollered in fury.
