Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1228
“Not at all,” replied Gerald casually.
Though Maia wanted to say more to express her concern, she simply couldn’t bring herself to say anything at all.
After all, she had earlier looked down on Gerald, even claiming that he was going to give them more trouble than
help!
Well, to be more precise, she hadn’t treated him seriously at all from the moment they had first met all the way
back in high school. Even when they had finally reunited in the bar years later and after Maia found out that he was
extremely rich back in the Salford Province, never had she taken him seriously in the least.
Regardless, Maia couldn’t help but feel her heart race now that she was standing before this strange, new Gerald.
In all honesty, she now had great admiration and respect for him deep in her heart.
Gerald himself barely felt the need to show off in front of Maia. After all, he didn’t need her admiration or respect to
fulfill his vanity.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShaking the thought off, Gerald suddenly remembered something. Turning around, he saw—from quite a distance
away—that the two girls from earlier were still quivering in the car.
Back when he was on the car’s roof, he had heard one of the girls screaming. Upon hearing that familiar voice,
Gerald was immediately able to guess that Maverick must have kidnapped both Yulisa and Noelle!
The fact that Gerald could earlier also feel strong yin energy coming from within the car further solidified his theory.
With that in mind, he quickly headed over to the car.
The girls themselves hadn’t been wearing any seatbelts earlier, so—due to the car stopping so abruptly—they had
been flung forward, colliding with the back of the front seats! Both of them were never meant to bear this amount
of impact, so it was no wonder why Yulisa and Noelle were feeling like their bodies were going to fall apart any
second now.
By the time Gerald came close enough, he could see that Yulisa barely had the image of a young lady anymore as
she continued bawling her eyes out.
“Everything’s going to be alright… Now come on out. Both of you!” said Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile wryly
while looking at the two girls.
The slight bitterness in his smile, of course, had stemmed from the fact that Gerald could tell that all that had
happened wasn’t just mere coincidence.
Holding onto Gerald’s arm, Noelle then fixed her hair with a smile before nodding at Gerald as she said, “…T-thank
you…”
When it came to impressing someone, nothing could surpass saving one’s life. While Noelle had previously hated
Gerald, she now felt a bit more affectionate to him instead.
Regardless, both the victims were asked a few questions from the police before they were allowed to leave and get
some rest.
Since Aiden and the others were still busy with quite a bit of things, Gerald didn’t ask him to accompany him back.
Instead, Gerald chose to send the two girls back to campus himself. This time, Noelle didn’t turn down Gerald’s
offer. In fact, she accepted his invitation with great pleasure.
Since Noelle was looking a little haggard—since she had, after all, suffered quite a scare earlier—Gerald knew
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbetter than to mention the invigorating blood droplets now.
After all, it would be bad if Noelle somehow came to the assumption that he had only saved her since he wanted to
get his hands on her blood. That would definitely destroy her image of him for good.
As Gerald continued thinking about it, he was slightly startled when Noelle suddenly looked at him before asking,
“I… I’ve been pretty rude to you today… So I’d like to apologize and thank you as well for saving us!”
Upon hearing that, Gerald truly felt that Aiden was quite impressive. After all, before Aiden had left, he had told
Gerald that Noelle would definitely apologize and express her gratitude to him sooner or later. According to Aiden,
after Gerald replied with a few specific words—that Aiden then shared with Gerald—Gerald didn’t even need to ask
her for her contact number anymore.
Quickly repeating what Aiden had taught him in his mind, Gerald then said, “It’s fine. There’s no need for you to
thank me. Still, our meeting must be fated since we keep meeting each other over and over again. Maybe it’s just
our destiny. Regardless, I’m glad I was able to save you today!
Watching as Gerald then smiled, Noelle found her breath growing rapid as she instantly began blushing slightly.
The corners of her lips slowly curving upward into a beautiful smile, she remained silent for a while before nodding
and saying, “…W-well, we’ll be heading back first, then! Farewell!”
Though she said that, she didn’t budge an inch, her eyes still affixed on Gerald’s.
