Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1412

Turning to look at who had called out to him, he saw that it was a rather pretty young girl whom he didn’t

recognize…

“… ‘That guy?’” asked Gerald in a casual tone.

“Yeah! You’re a graduate of Mayberry University, right? Do you know Harper?” asked the girl.

“Indeed! He was my roommate, but before that… Have we even met before?” replied Gerald.

Nodding with a smile, the girl then laughed before saying, “So I wasn’t mistaken! It really is you! No wonder you

looked so familiar!”

“Who is he, Westlyn…?” asked the other girls from the group—who were each carrying their own handbag—as they

curiously began scanning Gerald from head to toe, arms crossed.

‘While he does look pretty handsome, judging from his clothes alone, he’s probably not even anywhere close to

being wealthy!’ Thought the girls to themselves.

“Oh, him? He’s just the roommate of one of my hometown friends! I remember him rather distinctly since he used

to be willing to do just about anything to obtain a little money! He’d oftentimes be found cleaning the trash up in

our school and even running errands for others! That’s just how poor he was!” replied Westlyn as she introduced

him to the rest of the girls.

“It’s not all that out of the ordinary, really. Every school has such a person, and if you’re sharp enough, you’ll realize

that a person like this definitely exists in every other stage of your life, from elementary school till university! As

they say, outstanding people will always be great, and those who live difficult lives will always remain miserable!”

said a good-looking boy donning branded sports attire—who had been standing next to Westlyn this entire time—

out of the blue.

“Hahaha! You truly are a natural at speaking, you know that, Micah? Just about anything that comes out of your

mouth sounds philosophical! It’s hilarious, really! No wonder Westlyn was interested in you!” said one of the

members of the group, prompting the rest of the young boys and girls to laugh aloud.

“Regardless… What are you doing now? Also, I heard that Harper’s doing pretty well these days. He owns his own

public-listed company now, right? Do both of you still keep in touch? From what I can see, it almost seems like

Harper hasn’t been looking out for you!” asked Westlyn rather curiously.

To be entirely honest, Westlyn had been asking around for Harper’s contact information for quite a while now. It

was the only reason why she had called out to Gerald in the first place.

Since both of them had been from the same hometown, it was no surprise that she was Harper’s high school

classmate. Since Harper had been rather famous back in high school, Westlyn had liked him for the longest time

back then.

However, upon entering university, she became a textbook example of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan.

Due to that, her taste and what she looked for in a man grew extremely different compared to how it used to be

back in her high school days.

Those who used to seem outstanding and cool back in high school felt like boring nobodies upon entering university.

In fact, many of them even ended up changing even more upon entering society, and not in a good way, at least to

Westlyn. To her, they simply ended up becoming exceedingly ordinary people.

As for Westlyn, her own temperament and attitude toward Harper grew increasingly different with every passing

stage as well. Essentially, she went from liking Harper, to ignoring Harper, and eventually, despising him. In fact,

she didn’t even bother talking to him throughout their later years in university.

Thinking that Harper would only end up becoming an office worker once he stepped into society, she even ended

up deleting his contact information!

Little did she know that he would instead end up becoming the chairman of a public listed company!

From the day she found out about that, she had always regretted deleting his phone number, and she had

constantly been trying to reobtain it ever since.

Now that Gerald was before her, she couldn’t help but wonder if her bumping into Harper’s ex-roommate today

was god’s ridiculous answer to her pleas.

‘It truly must be God’s gift to me! While it’s true that I’ve undergone divorce once and though I’ve already found a

new boyfriend, sparks could still fly if I were to contact Harper now! Heh! All girls, especially beautiful ones like

myself, always need to be on the lookout for spare tires to fall back on, after all!’ Westlyn thought to herself.

Gerald himself could immediately tell what Westlyn was trying to go for, so he simply replied, “We haven’t

contacted each other for a long time now. While I do have his WhatsApp Information on my phone, I think I’ve

already lost it.”

“…You… What? You don’t even have a cell phone on you? Do you live in some forest or something? Who do you

even think you’re trying to bluff?” asked Westlyn, her eyes now fully widened.

“I speak the truth. Even if I had my old phone on me now, he’d have probably changed his number by this time,

no?” replied Gerald.

From what Gerald remembered, he had told Zack to make some arrangements for Harper, and based on what

Westlyn had said, Zack seemed to have given him a company. Knowing Zack, Gerald assumed that Harper would’ve

been given a company with a market value of a few billion dollars. While not exactly too valuable—at least for

Gerald—it was the thought that counted!

Whatever the case was, Gerald’s words instantly changed the way Westlyn looked at him. After all, he had made it

clear that he was of no use to her now!

“…I see! I should’ve realized that Harper wouldn’t even bother with someone as foolish as you! I mean just look at

the state you’re in! Trash! A complete waste of my time and effort!” cursed Westlyn.
