Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 431
Waylon was definitely asking Jaxon for help.
However, before they could hear about the specifics, Waylon had already hung up. This was because he had
noticed Xella and the rest entering the room.
“I’m so sorry Waylon! It’s all my fault!” said Xella apologetically.
“What are you talking about Xella? I was just caught by surprise when they started beating us up without even
making the situation clear first! Don’t worry, my dad’s subordinates are dealing with them right now! My dad’s
heard about your troubles as well!” said Waylon in a fierce voice.
Xella was just about to say something when her phone began ringing.
Taking in a deep breath, she answered it. It was only a brief talk and she hung up not long after.
“…It’s all over now! The call was from my president and he informed me that I was fired!” said Xella weakly.
She knew that she had just lost her chance of having a great career. Since she was now fired, she would no longer
be able to enter any excellent subsidiary companies or investment in companies under the Dream Investment
Group.
It was all gone.

Somehow Waylon had never considered that possibility. At first, all he wanted to do was to show off his capabilities
in front of Xella.
His goal was to make her admire and fall in love with him.
He had fought and taken a beating to help her but not only did that fail to resolve Xella’s issue, it only increased her
burdens since she was now essentially jobless.
“Waylon… what should we do now? It definitely feels like they’ll continue to harass Xella!” asked Rae, being the
meddling person she was.
“Don’t forget! We still have Waylon’s father on our side! He’s definitely much more powerful than some deputy
manager!” sneered a male classmate as he analyzed the situation.
At that moment, Waylon’s phone rang.
He picked it up immediately.
“How is it, dad? …What did you say? Oh god. Alright, I got it. What about me? Alright, dad. I get it!”
When he finally hung up, his face was pale and his hand was trembling so much that the phone dropped onto the
bed.
“…Waylon? What’s wrong?” asked Xella, concerned.
“…It’s all over for me. The person who had beaten me up was the senior executive from the headquarters. Though
dad wanted to manipulate his connections with Jaxon, in the end, Jaxon is just a driver. He’s definitely not as
influential as that senior executive… What more, the senior executive has worked for Mr. Michael Zeke before…
He’s Mr. Zeke’s loyal confidant! Even Jaxon doesn’t want to get involved in this. My dad’s begging them now and he
called to tell me to apologize to that deputy manager tonight!”
Waylon wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.
Xella was in utter dismay.
So it turns out that Waylon was also in deep trouble.
“AlsoXella… My dad told me… told all of us not to act too rashly anymore… Charlie had harassed you in the
company. The issue could have been solved easily with you filing a complaint to your superiors… They’d definitely
punish that pervert severely once they find out about his misdeeds… All that we’ve done today has only made the
situation much, much worse… Nothing is going right. I’m in deep trouble now and you lost your job too!” said
Waylon in an uncharacteristically soft tone. He was finally speaking like a humble person now.
Hearing that, Xella felt as if someone had given her the exact same advice before…
As her view panned across the wardroom, she noticed Gerald standing by the door. Of course. It was exactly as
Gerald had advised her to do when they had met outside the washrooms earlier.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore this, she had thought that Gerald was inexperienced. She had even disapproved of his suggestion…
In the end, if she had only followed his advice, none of this would have happened. The matter could have been
resolved easily.
But it was too late to regret it…
The classmates then tried to cheer the mood by sharing possible positive outcomes from today’s events. However
deep inside, they all knew that they were just consoling each other.
At that moment, Xella’s phone rang again.
She picked the call up and just like before, she only talked for a short while.
However, the details of the call seemed to be either very shocking or very important to Xella. This was because
nearing the end of the call, her eyes were wide open and an expression of utter disbelief was painted on her face.
“Xella? What’s wrong?”
It took Xela a while to answer as she was still dumbfounded by the call.
“The boss… My company’s boss called me in person just now. He told me that I could resume my work there and
that I was going to be transferred to the personnel department. I’ll work as a trainee there and I’ll even be given
training so that I’ll be able to hold much higher posts in the department in the future… He even apologized to me
about the issue regarding Charlie… He told me that Charlie had been fired and he even said that it was a decision
made by the superiors!”
“…Eh?”
