Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 421
“Here comes Xella!” said Rae as she and the others smiled toward Xella.
“Have you waited for a long time, Gerald?” asked Xella, smiling as she looked at him.
“Not at all!” replied Gerald.
Xella was dressed charmingly that day. She was certainly the kind of woman who could bewitch others with a single
glance.
However, Gerald knew better and actively stopped himself from thinking unnecessary thoughts.
“Speaking of which, Xella, I looked at the group chat yesterday. The others were discussing how you had landed a
great job. How did you manage to get into the Dream Investment Group? I heard that a billion dollars were required
for the registered capital!” said Rae, a slight jealousy projected in her voice.
Initially, Rae was considered much better compared to her other classmates in the group.
Since she was now dating the tycoon whose family owned a few shops, she was considered quite well-to-do and she

She had a great life as well.
However, comparing herself to Xella, she felt like a small fry.
Everyone knew that the Dream Investment Group was established with the funds provided by Mr. Crawford from
Mayberry. In the near future, it was planned to become a large development project in Serene County. Whoever
managed to enter the group would continue their efforts even though they had to pay about one to two billion
dollars that year.
Naturally, when the news was shared in the group chat, everyone became excited.
It was a sign that Serene County was going to undergo some drastic changes soon.
“I just so happened to be recruited by the company. I’m not too sure how its development will end up being and to
be frank, I don’t have much confidence either. Besides, it’s not like I’m working in the headquarters of Dream
Investment Group. I’m just working in a subsidiary investment holding company under them, it’s not as mysterious
and good as most people say!” said Xyla as she smiled bitterly.
“That’s still quite an exceptional post, Xella! You don’t have to be modest!” replied Rae, her jealousy more apparent
in her voice now.
Gerald on the other hand, was standing beside them and he appeared quite shocked.
So Xella had been recruited by a subsidiary company under Dream Investment Company.
And who owned the Dream Investment Company?
It was, of course, Gerald!
No wonder Xella and the others were there the other day! After completing the procedures for the opening
ceremony, he had bumped into them in the main square just outside the hall.
Quite a few celebrities had attended the carnival the day before so it hadn’t crossed Gerald’s mind that Xella was
involved with the Dream Investment Company.
With her role as an employee of the subsidiary company under Gerald’s, it was definitely alright for her to bring
along a few friends to enjoy themselves there.
Gerald couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘What a great coincidence!’

“It’s fine, someone’s picking us up later! Actually Xella, why don’t you come with us instead?”
Just as Xella was about to reply, her phone started ringing.
The moment she picked up, she stepped to the side before saying something, a blush forming on her cheeks. She
continued talking for a while before finally hanging up.
“Your boyfriend?” asked Gerald with a smile. He couldn’t help it, seeing her face all shy and flustered.
“What are you talking about? I’m single! That’s just a friend!” she replied with a smile though her voice was
quivering awkwardly.
Gerald shook his head with a smile before fishing his car keys out. He was ready to drive her to the gathering.
All of a sudden, a new white Audi A4L could be seen and heard dashing toward the bus stop.
The brakes were slammed and the car stopped abruptly right next to the surprised crowd.
The car’s window was rolled down and a man in sunglasses poked his head out.
“Come on, Xella! Your classmates will be there soon! Let’s get there before them, just the two of us!” said the man.
Naturally, the car caught a lot of attention from the people who were waiting for the bus there.
As usual, the beautiful one would always get picked up by the rich kid.
This was what a few of the boys there thought as their inferiority complex sank in.
“Ah, hello Waylon. Is this the newest car you’ve bought?”
