Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 658
All of a sudden, a girl could be heard crying near Mila’s room. By the time Mila got out to see what the commotion
was about, a few others had already left their rooms to see what was wrong. Mila and the others simply followed
behind them.
“What’s wrong? What happened?” asked one of the girls present.
“I… I went out with my housemate earlier and when I got back, I realized that the diamond ring that my boyfriend
got for me was missing! It’s a very expensive ring and I can’t find it anywhere!” said the girl with a wail.
Hallie had heard the racket from next door and she too was now present.
“Don’t cry, Xyleena. You could have just misplaced it. You know how careless you can be. Maybe you accidentally

“But Hallie, I would never misplace something so important! I’m always particularly careful with that six thousand
dollar ring!” cried out Xyleena.
“How odd! Well, how about this. Where have you been today and who else was in the hostel? Could it be that your
door wasn’t properly shut so someone who knew about the ring came in and stole it?”
“In the first place, who told you to show your ring off to everyone in broad daylight?” added Hallie.
“Well… All five of us went shopping together… Only Narissa was in the hostel… She said she needed to write her
script…” said one of the housemates.
“No… It wasn’t me! I didn’t take the ring!” said Narissa, terrified.
“But you were the only one in the hostel at that time. Who else could it have been?” interrogated Hallie.
“Why don’t you let us check your bed so that you can prove your innocence?” suggested Hallie next.
Mila was well aware that Hallie was simply directing her anger at Narissa since Narissa was close friends with her.
Understanding that, Mila then immediately defended Narissa by saying, “I can prove that Narissa didn’t touch
Xyleena’s stuff! After all, she isn’t that kind of person!”
“Prove? And how exactly are you going to do that?” said Hallie as she pointed at Mila.
“Hold on, I remember now! When I went out to get a drink earlier, I think I saw Mila and Narissa entering the hostel
room together!” said a girl who was living in the room next to Mila’s.
“Huh?” Everyone was now staring at Mila.
“No wonder you’re helping her so much. Did both of you team up to commit this crime?” sneered Hallie.
“Quit spouting nonsense!” said Molly anxiously.
“If it wasn’t either of you, then let us check your beds! If you didn’t commit the crime, why are both of you getting
so worked up?” replied Hallie.

friends as well.
“Fine! Do as you wish!” said Mila.
Upon getting their approval, Hallie then proceeded to go through Narissa’s belongings. However, she wasn’t able to
find anything.
Hallie and her sisters then entered Mila’s room.
After going through her things for a while, Hallie lifted Mila’s pillow before shouting in shock, “Xyleena, look! Isn’t
that your ring over there?”
Everyone present then watched as Xyleena walked over and picked the ring up.
“Y-yes! This ring belongs to me!”
Xyleena couldn’t believe it. She simply stared blankly at Mila before saying, “…Mila? Why would you do such a
thing?”
