Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 704 She was well aware that Marven had a crush on her. However, even though she had made it extremelyclear that she wasn’t into him, why on earth was he still pestering her?

Every girl had an ego to maintain when it came to relationships. If Raquel had received the sametreatment from a better-looking guy, she wouldn’t have minded.

However, Marven was a completely different story. After all, to most people, he generally had a badimage if she was going to be completely honest about it.

After being humiliated in front of so many people, she would’ve kicked him out the door if she was anyless morally aware!

“B-Brother Gerald!” shouted Marven as he rushed over to Gerald to help him up.

While Gerald clearly looked like he wanted to continue arguing with Raquel, Marven noticed that a fewof the Taekwondo society’s members were already circling them. Fearing that Gerald would get hurtbecause of him again, Marven immediately dragged him out of there.

The two continued walking on until they arrived at the garden located right outside their campus.

Upon finding a place to sit, Marven soon found himself sobbing as he said, “It’s all my fault, BrotherGerald! While Raquel may have attacked you, please place the blame on me! After all, it’s true that Iwas the one who had humiliated her in front of all those people!”

Though he had indeed received a kick to the chest from Raquel, Gerald simply remained silent. It wasbecause he saw his past self in Marven.

Back then, he had been willing to get beaten up just to keep Xavia safe!

Understanding Marven’s pain, Gerald then patted him on the back while saying, “Alright, alright Iwon’t… For now, let’s focus more on getting you to stop crying… Still, you told me that both of you hadquite a good relationship! No offense, but that scene from earlier clearly suggested otherwise!”novelbin

“Well… We truthfully were on good terms in the past… After all, both of us grew up together! However,once Raquel got into college, she began changing rather drastically…”

Marven then began detailing his past with Raquel to Gerald.

Both of them had apparently been extremely friendly with each other in the past, up to the point whereMarven would always stand up for Raquel whenever she got bullied in school.

The worst bullying Raquel had ever received happened when they were in their fourth year. Back then,Raquel’s path had been blocked by a few older students.

Being the immature youngsters that they were, the older students had assumed that they simplyneeded to write a love letter to Raquel for her to fall head over heels for them. When that obviouslyfailed, all of them ganged up on her. Marven however, came to her aid and fought against all of them.

By the time they were done, his knees were bleeding so much that the scars from then remained tillthis very day.

The incident Marven faced was honestly quite similar to what had happened with Gerald and Xaviaback in the day.

That was basically why for a period of time, Marven and Raquel were near inseparable. In fact, aftergraduating high school, both of them had even become a couple for a while.

It was at that time, however, when Marven started noticing small changes in Raquel’s behavior.

Eventually, it got so bad that Raquel actively tried to hide from him. It even got to the point where shetold him not to tell others that they were actually a couple!

One day, Raquel told him that she needed some time away from him…

And that was how their relationship remained for quite a period of time.

Marven simply couldn’t accept how quickly Raquel had moved on from him so he kept on pestering her.

Eventually, it led to the events of today.

Gerald simply shook his head in pity. He didn’t even know what to say. After all, Marven’s story hadbecome strikingly similar to his own past relationship with Xavia. All he could do was pat him on theback.

Not long after, Marven wiped the last of his tears away, affirming that he was fine now. Sharing his sadtale and crying it out had definitely helped.

Hearing that, Gerald felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Just as they were about to leave, Gerald’s phone rang. It was a call from Queta.

“Gerald, you have to return immediately!”

“What’s wrong?”

Queta’s tone sounded desperate…
