Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 564
Just as Gerald was about to say something, he was promptly cut off by another person talking loudly. It was Chase.
“Wow! So many of our classmates are here today! All of you are really giving me a lot of face for attending! I’ve
already made all the necessary arrangements today so why not enter first before continuing to chat?”
As he scanned through the crowd, he saw Mr. Weiss and Kristen. With a smile on his face, he walked over to both of
them before saying, “Mr. Weiss! Miss Yahn! Welcome, let’s go in and have a seat first! Eh? You’re here too Gerald?
Well Alright then! Let’s go in together!”
Chase was slightly surprised to see Gerald so he simply greeted him casually.
“Hey Sherry, come over here. Can’t you see that our class teacher is already here?” called out Chase when he saw
her.
As soon as she stood beside him, Chase immediately interlocked his fingers with hers.
Most of their classmates were taken aback when they saw this, and this included Gerald.
Sherry was apparently in a relationship with Chase!
Gerald immediately knew that it was only going to get more awkward the longer he stayed at the gathering.

‘I can tell Mr. Weiss about it then,’ Gerald thought to himself.
Once everyone had entered the room, the classmates continued chatting among themselves.
The common topic shared by most of the conversations, was regarding the classmates’ current situations.
Chase naturally seemed to be the one who was doing best.
After all, he had started working even before he finished high school. He had learned about the ins and outs of big
trucks from his uncle.
Chase had used his family’s wealth to buy himself two big trucks. Now, he’s started his own small-scale logistics
company.
Compared to the rest of his peers in the county, he was definitely doing very well. It was no wonder why Sherry
chose to be with Chase.
“Heh, what a blessing for Sherry to be able to be together with Chase now. She must be enjoying the life of a lady
boss now! Hahaha!”
“I know right? She’s so beautiful. I guess that’s why she’s so lucky!”
Several of the classmates were talking about her enviously.
“By the way, Gerald, what are you doing now?” asked Chase out of the blue.
Though both Chase and Gerald didn’t have many notable interactions back in junior high, Chase was well aware of
Gerald’s past with Sherry.
It was natural for a boyfriend to express hate toward his girlfriend’s ex, and this was exactly what Chase was feeling
at that moment.
What more, Gerald was dressed even better than he was! Seeing how well dressed Gerald was made Chase ask his
tentative question.
Mr. Weiss was looking at Gerald as well.
“I’m just doing my own business!” replied Gerald.
“Hahaha! Oh god, Gerald’s actually started his own business?”
At that moment, a few female classmates immediately burst out laughing.
“What kind of business are you running? Are you selling socks at the night market?”
“Hahaha! Really now, are you just starting a business because everyone else is doing the same? Gerald, it’s not like
we’re trying to put you down, but you should be more self-aware of yourself! Wouldn’t it be easier for someone like
you to just look for a job somewhere?”
Kristen had been the one who asked that question. She then sneered before adding, “I’m not trying to pick a bone
with you or Xeno, but even though both of you have really good grades, the two of you are at the bottom of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsociety! Do you know why? It’s because both of you have no connections. You even lack a proper family
background! I heard that Xeno’s fixing cars for people right now, right? What future is there in doing something like
that?!”
She ended her sentence as she smiled contemptuously.
“That’s not right, Miss Yahn. On the contrary, Xeno’s doing very well now. He’s opened his own large automobile
trading company, or at least that’s what I heard!”
“Yeah, I heard the same thing. He was really lucky since the Dream Investment Group decided to invest in his
company!”
When Kristen heard this, she couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed.
“So what? It won’t be long before those people will decide to withdraw their capital and investment! When that time
comes, Xeno will just have to go back to repairing cars then!”
“Alright, alright, that’s enough. Speaking of which, Chase, didn’t you inform Xeno about the gathering today?” asked
Mr. Weiss quickly to change the subject, sensing the awkwardness in the atmosphere.
“Oh! No I didn’t! I don’t really keep in touch with him,” replied Chase as he put his teacup down before sneering.
“I actually contacted him! Also, while I have all your attention now, Chase! You’re actually not the only one
celebrating your birthday today! You share the same birthday with another of our classmates!” said one of the girls
out of the blue.
