Chapter 324

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 324 Harper repeated his question, his voice full of anxiety.

However, Yvonne simply ignored him and walked toward Gerald’s bed.

“Get up immediately, Gerald!” she sneered.

She then pulled Gerald’s blanket off him without bothering to consider what he had on at the moment.Once he was in plain view, she yanked him off the bed recklessly.

“What are you doing?!” Gerald yelped as his hands moved to cover his crotch.

These women were terrifying.

But instead of answering his question, Yvonne simply began rummaging through his things. Not too faraway, both Cassandra and Felicity had their arms crossed as they watched the scene play out. Naomisimply hid in a corner.

“Counselor, Felicity! I found his coat and phone here!” Yvonne shouted as she held the two items up forthem to see.

All the girls were stunned. All of them were thinking the same thing. ‘So it wasn’t Gerald after all!’

They felt relief wash over them as if they were prisoners who had just been freed after many years.

This was especially the case for Cassandra who felt almost overjoyed. ‘I’m glad it wasn’t him.’

After calming themselves down, they soon came to the realization that all the men in the dormitorywere staring at them in shock.

Cassandra coughed before clearing her throat. She then asked, “Gerald, after you received a call fromNaomi asking for help, where exactly did you go? And what were you doing at the time?”

“Well I was nervous of course, and I wanted to call the police. Before I could, Xyleena sent me amessage asking me where Naomi was and I told her what I knew. She immediately arranged for somepeople to rescue you. I’m glad to see that all of you are safe and sound,” said Gerald with a smile onhis face.

“…It seems you hit the nail on the head, Counselor. So much for overthinking earlier! We really weresaved by Naomi’s cousin!” shouted Yvonne excitedly.

“And why don’t you wear pajamas when you sleep? Disgusting!”

After condemning Gerald one last time, the women were finally willing to leave.

Naomi however, stayed back for a while to explain to Gerald about the incidents that had happened.

Gerald couldn’t help but smile bitterly. ‘Thank god I reacted quickly enough…’ thought Gerald tohimself.

The truth was that he had been extremely nervous throughout the entire rescue mission. He wassweating profusely so he had to take off his coat in the car.

Before the limousine arrived, he spent every second nervously observing the girls as they left thebuilding. He did so through his laptop which had access to a surveillance camera.

Once he actually entered the limousine, his eyes were still glued onto the laptop’s monitor. It took him awhile, but he eventually realized that his coat and phone were still in the previous car.

In his mind, Gerald knew that his identity would definitely be exposed if he didn’t act swiftly.

In the nick of time, an idea came to him. He immediately went off to get a similar phone and jacket.However, he could only hope that the battery in his old phone died quickly so that the phone would turnoff on its own. If someone made a call before the phone died, it would all be over.

Thankfully, the phone seemed to have died before they managed to call him.

To be safe, Gerald even canceled his number at the last minute so that the phone would no longer beable to receive any calling signals.

From that point on, Gerald would have little need to contact the women aside from Naomi.

‘There’s no reason for me to expose my identity to them.’

The night had been an anxiously eventful one, but they somehow managed to subdue all the danger intime. It was finally time to get a well deserved rest.

A few hours later, Saturday morning came.novelbin

It was ten in the morning and Gerald was doing some revision in his dorm.

Out of the blue, Naomi gave him a call.

Though he canceled his number the night before, Gerald had told Zack to help register his numberagain with his ID before he slept. It wasn’t exactly a difficult task.

Earlier that morning, Gerald had gone to the service hall to retrieve his new contact number card.

“Good morning, Gerald. My cousin came to visit today and after the chaos yesterday, she’s planning tohold a feast for a table at a restaurant near our college. I’m indebted to you for your help yesterday.

Please come! My cousin could even arrange a job for you. Harper and the others are free to attend aswell.”

“I think I’ll pass. Besides, I hardly helped at all,” Gerald said, a bitter smile on his face.

“You had better come immediately, Gerald. Otherwise, I’ll come to your dorm to invite you overpersonally! On a serious note, my cousin really wishes to express her gratitude toward you.”

“Well… Alright, we’ll be there soon.”

Gerald couldn’t bring himself to decline Naomi’s invitation. In truth, he had indeed helped them. It wasfine to indulge himself with a simple meal like this every once in a while.

The problem wasn’t meeting up with Naomi. Gerald was simply reluctant to meet up with her cousin.
