The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 702

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 702 Though he used to see Maia as a goddess way back in his poor days, this was the final straw. Geraldwould no longer tolerate her straightforwardness and sharp-tongue!

“Well since I’m already ‘acting’ like a rich guy, I may as well ‘act’ till the very end! You know what, I’madding another hundred and fifty thousand dollars to that initial five hundred thousand!” announcedGerald with a wry smile.

“W-what?”

Hearing that, everyone fell into utter shock!

As if five hundred thousand dollars wasn’t enough! This person was now donating a grand total of sixhundred and fifty thousand dollars to charity!

At this point, the rest of Gerald’s classmates were all staring wide-eyed at him. It was hard for them toeven process that such a simple looking person could actually be such a rich man!

While this was the reaction of Gerald’s classmates, the silence ended when one of the students fromanother third-year class began cheering!

Hearing that, a chain reaction of cheers and applauses soon followed!

Breaking from their stunned states, the workers themselves immediately got on stage to process thesecond payment.

The entire hall was now staring at Gerald in utter admiration.

While showing off wasn’t his usual style, doing it every once in a while was fine. Besides, he had anactual reason to show off this time.

Glancing at Maia and Isabelle’s indignant expressions, Gerald could feel an impish glee in himself.

Once the transaction was done, each of the workers took turns shaking hands with Gerald.

Fabian on the other hand, simply stomped down the stage after receiving his certificate. What a totalwaste of fifteen thousand dollars!

“Who would’ve guessed that he was actually that rich, Jasmine! When they announced that he was theone who had donated the five hundred thousand dollars, I couldn’t believe my ears at all! Now that he’sadded another hundred and fifty thousand dollars to that sum, even I have to believe that he’s the onewho made that ginormous donation!” whispered Mindy as she continued looking at Gerald with greatinterest.

“I find it hard to believe as well… Looks like his background isn’t as simple as we had initially assumed.We should definitely be more careful from now on!” replied Jasmine, her tone cautious.

“Humph! Let’s just get someone from our family to investigate more about him!” replied Mandy.

“The thing is, we’ve already ordered someone to do that for us even before today’s events… All weknow is that he’s some poor student from Serene County! No matter how the investigation team tried,they simply couldn’t find out anything more about him!”

A look of dissatisfaction formed on Jasmine’s face as she said that. In a sense, this was an eye-opening experience for her.

As Jasmine continued looking at Gerald, Fabian darted out of the hall without saying a word. Hisexpression suggested that he had just sat through some useless event.

Knowing how hurt he was, Isabelle ran after him while shouting, “Brother Fabian! Wait for me!”

Despite her pleas, Fabian continued sprinting toward the garden. Once he arrived at the bottom of ashady tree, Fabian immediately punched the tree’s trunk! His face was filled with rage.

Isabelle was well aware that Fabian’s only Achilles’ heel, amidst his many good traits, was his ego.

She had noticed how hurt Fabian had been when he was earlier pushed aside by the volunteerswithout even a second thought. Gerald standing where he once stood was definitely the last straw forhim!

“Brother Fabian, please don’t be mad! Regardless of how much Gerald’s donated, you still achievedsecond place in the Taekwondo Youth Championship! That alone already makes you way better thanhim!” said Isabelle, her eyes slightly reddened.

“Don’t forget about your dreams, Brother Fabian! Please don’t be miserable over something as trivialas this! Remember, our school’s very own Taekwondo Championship personally invited you to be theirjudge! You’ll be able to show everyone who’s boss then! Just think of all the cheers and applause you’llbe receiving when that happens!” coaxed Isabelle.

After hearing that, Fabian started feeling a little better about himself. She was right. Once his time toshine arrived, he’d definitely be even highly regarded as the pride of their class! Endless cheering andadmiration would then be reserved for him, and only him!

‘Why on earth are you stressing so much over something so trivial in the first place, Fabian?’ Hethought to himself.

“…I understand now! Thank you so much, Isabelle!”

While it was true that he was feeling much better now, Fabian still left the area with a rather miserableexpression on his face. After all, no matter how much Isabelle was going to coax him, his pride had stillbeen hurt deeply today.

Once the event finally ended, Gerald headed out with Marven.

While they were walking, Marven suddenly looked like he just remembered something. Without sayinga word, he then looked around and entered a nearby shop. By the time he got out again, he had boughta whole bunch of food.novelbin

“Hmm? What’s this then? Are you already hungry again?” said Gerald as he looked at the stash of foodthat Marven had bought while smiling.

“No, no, these aren’t for me! I’m giving all of these to someone… Since I’ll be meeting her along theway anyway, would you mind accompanying me?” replied Marven, a sheepish grin plastered on hisface.
