The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 156-160

[Chapter 156]

“So you’re saying you’re also from Sunnydale University? I’ve never seen you around, though!” Dickson was smiling the whole time. “No. I’m from Mayberry University.” Gerald knew how to stay calm no matter what kind of vibes the other people were giving him. “Mayberry University is fine. Anyways, what does your family do? How did you make Elena fall for you?” Dickson asked. “Well, Dickson, allow me to tell you. He came from a small village, and his family runs a tiny grocery store! How do you still not understand by the way he dresses?” Amber answered. The highest state of ignorance was pretending someone didn’t exist even when he was just right in front of you. Although it was hurtful, nobody would actually point it out. However, Amber had been doing that to Gerald all along, and it showed how much she despised him. “Oh, it must have been tough studying in Mayberry coming from a small village. Do let me know if you’re in any kind of trouble. My father knows the dean, and I can get things settled for you. If you need a loan, you could always come to me too. I’m from Sunnydale, but I’m actually well connected! Anyways, have you taken any sort of loans before?” Dickson soon noticed that Amber had been ignoring him… “Yes, I did apply for a three-year loan. I used the money to pay for tuition!” replied Gerald. Gerald initially intended to prove that Elena was wrong, but now he decided it best to keep a low profile. There were three reasons for it: One, Gerald did apply for a loan and did indeed pay the tuition fee with that money. Two, even if he was trying to help Elena, there was no need to go to such an extent. Gerald realized that Elena wasn’t just pretending that he was her boyfriend, but she actually wanted to develop a different kind of relationship. It wasn’t him being narcissistic. He could actually feel it. Even though Gerald did fancy pretty girls and would easily fall for any one of them, he wasn’t a bad person in general. Gerald had always wanted his girlfriend to connect with on a deeper level, but Elena was definitely not that person. This was because the first time they met, Elena injured his face, resulting in Gerald not wanting to date her. Three, he did not want to expose his true identity. He was uncomfortable each time he became the center of attention. He never understood why anyone would like that. “Damn! You had to pay your school fees with a three-year loan? You must be broke!” “Fuck! This is big news. How could someone be so poor they had to apply for a three-year loan? I’d be embarrassed even if I had to just apply for one. I’d probably kill myself!” Amber and the girls mocked. Ruby frowned, thinking Elena must have gone crazy to have chosen a guy like him! Why would she choose someone like him! “They say children from poor families are more independent. Well, it does seem right. But if you require money, you can always approach me. I’ll gladly lend it to you since Elena, and I are schoolmates. We can be friends too!” Dickson smiled. Even though it was a small gesture, it was clear they were mocking him. Being the student president, he was clearly good with words. Every sentence that came out of his mouth subtly insulted Gerald. “There is no need for that, but thank you anyway.” Gerald smiled and politely rejected his offer. “You’re always welcome. Anyways, since you’re studying at Mayberry University, have you been to the nearby attractions? You should go check out Mayberry Commercial Street and Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. How could you not when you’re already at Mayberry, right? Why not I show you around after this?. My father knows the CEO of a restaurant on Commercial Street. I could bring you there!” “Hey Dickson, don’t you remember what Elena’s family does? Even if Gerald pays a visit, Elena could bring him!” said Amber smiled as she smiled. “Oh, right. How could I have forgotten? I only remember that Gerald is a pretty poor pauper who hasn’t been anywhere before. Well, it seems like he’s been frequenting Mayberry Commercial Street after being in a relationship with Elena.” “Oops… definitely my fault for having bad memory! Hahaha!” Dickson hit his head as he laughed it off.

[Chapter 157]

Dickson had been showing off his family’s connection with Mayberry in the rest of the conversations while poking fun at Gerald. It would be unreal if Gerald was not angry at all. At this point in time, he would have really loved to punch Dickson in his face. All Dickson could ever do was to just show off and mock people. Other than those things, he had no greater purpose. That afternoon’s family gathering was quite awful. They continued talking after lunch, and soon, it was past noon. Gerald had been awake since early that morning, and he was starting to get exhausted. Amber suddenly shouted, shocking Gerald. “ Dickson, Elena. It’s almost five, and the party is about to start soon! Let’s go get ready now. It’s not nice to be late!” “Right! Yoel Holden organized it, after all. We mustn’t be late!” Dickson said. “Okay, you should get going now. Dickson, please take good care of Amber and Elena!” Ruby said, leaving Gerald out of the conversation deliberately. “Yes, ma’am!” Dickson replied. They went to pick up their cars, and Gerald hopped onto Amber’s Porsche. It was only because Elena insisted. If it wasn’t for her, they would probably not have let Gerald into the car. Elena held onto Gerald’s arm tightly, a gesture to tell him that she was sorry. She never thought they would be so mean to him. She apologized on behalf of her family. Gerald shook his head with a bitter smile on his face. As they were talking, they reached the entrance of Mayberry Beach. “Does Gerald have an entrance ticket?” Dickson wanted to ask that question early on. Still, he waited until they all arrived at the entrance before asking just to embarrass him. “I do have it!” Gerald nodded as he reached into his pocket for the ticket. “You must have gotten it from Elena. Seriously Elena, why are you even so nice to him! Don’t you know? You’re just going to ruin his life if you bring him into our world. Why not just let him live his own life?” Amber complained. Amber didn’t usually sound like an adult, but now, she was acting like one. There was even a hint of sophistication in the tone. She would usually treat Elena with respect, but she had enough for today. It was the gathering of the wealthy, and everyone there would be really rich. She understood that her sister really loved this Gerald and intended to show him their world. But wouldn’t it hurt his pride after seeing so many rich people inside? “That’s quite enough, Amber. Don’t be a nuisance!” Elena was frustrated. “You two have to stop arguing now, okay. Let’s just go in and have a look, alright? If there’s anything that Gerald is afraid of answering, I’ll answer it for him!” Dickson took advantage of the situation. “Dickson, you’re such a gentleman!” Amber complimented as she rolled her eyes at Gerald. It was only five in the afternoon, yet the beach was already crowded. “Dickson is here!” “Amber, you’re here too! We have already started up the barbeque!”

[Chapter 158]

A few rich young men waved at Dickson when they arrived. They all seemed to know each other. “Wow, so many friends are here. Come, Elena. Let me introduce them to you!” Dickson said. The youths in question were playing around while eating and drinking, all having a blast. Gerald was exhausted, not in the mood to meet new people anymore. He really needed a place to rest, then find out where Aiden and the others went. “You guys have fun. I’ll be heading to the washroom. You guys don’t have to look for me!” Gerald told them and left by himself. “Is he really just heading to the washroom, or he is embarrassed to let anyone know that he’s from a poor family?” “I know, right! Doesn’t he know what social setting this is? And he’s probably regretting now!” Everyone was talking about him. Elena wanted to follow Gerald, but she knew she had troubled him way too much today. She didn’t want to bother him anymore. “Who was that person? He just went off without saying anything?” One of the young men was unhappy. “Don’t bother. Just a stupid peasant!” Amber replied. Meanwhile, Gerald was already on the other side of the beach. He loved the feeling of walking by himself. After grabbing a glass of wine from a waiter holding a tray, he lay on a chair and slowly sipped the drink. Finally, his ears were free! His phone rang. It was Zack. “Mr. Crawford, how did the party go?” Gerald had mentioned the party previously, and he knew all about it. “It’s alright!” Gerald smiled bitterly. “That’s good to hear. I hope Yoel has been treating you well… there are things I shouldn’t tell you, but I’ll just let you know anyways. The person that organized the party, Yoel Holden, has a profound connection with your sister. He organized this gathering all because of you!” “Huh? What does it have to do with me?” Gerald was confused. If the party was because of him, then why did he get the ticket from Elena? And what did the son of the richest man of the county have to do with his sister? “Hmm. Holden’s family only sprung up because of the support that Ms. Jessica gave. Yoel’s mother was your sister’s godmother. Understand it now?” Gerald would have never known that such a history existed. It seemed he was the only one clueless about his sister’s developments. “I’m only telling you all these things because this family can be quite pretentious, just like how they tried to get close to your sister after learning about her actual identity. They acted as if they helped her during her poor days and when she had become successful, they pretended that they wouldn’t try to get any advantage out of it. Your sister was touched by their actions hence the support she’s giving to them! “But then again, they have been really loyal to Ms. Crawford too!” “I believe this Yoel Holden is pulling the same trick to get your attention, and since you’ve told me about the party, I’ll be really guilty if I didn’t tell you all of this!” “Okay. Thanks a lot, Zack!” “You’re welcome, Mr. Crawford. It is my pleasure!” Gerald hung up the phone after that conversation. Through the call, he had gained some information that made him feel differently about some things. Zack was not very fond of the Holdens, and he implied that their family was using dirty tricks too. What were they up to? It was Gerald’s first time being in a situation like this, and he did not want to ignore what Zack said either because that would make him feel guilty. Gerald drank as all these thoughts flooded his mind. “Hey, look! That guy has been watching us for quite some time now. He must be having dirty thoughts because we are in bikinis!” “Huh? No way?! Why on earth would there be people like that?” Suddenly, Gerald noticed a bunch of pretty girls wearing bikinis staring at him coldly while murmuring to themselves.

[Chapter 159]

The bikini-clad girls were playing volleyball by the beachside while Gerald lay down by the chair. He was too tired, and he was not even sure where he was looking, but the girls got the wrong idea. They thought he was staring at them with dirty thoughts. At first, those girls thought it would be acceptable to be slightly exposed to the guys since they were out here to have fun, but the man staring at them was way too undesirable. He even daydreamed while watching them! The girls thought they knew very well what was going on, and they felt disgusted. “Look! He’s so disgusting, and he’s getting excited while looking at us!” “He must be looking at Crystal. Her outfit is more daring than her usual ones today. Even that rich young man over, there was even trying to get a picture of her. Once he heard that she’s very close with Yoel Holden, though, he immediately backed off!” “I know, right? This guy must have a death wish. He probably even has all of our pictures on his phone. He’ll bring them back to his hotel room and jerk off with it. Oh my goodness… that is so disgusting!” “What do you think, Crystal?” All the pretty girls looked toward a girl with long hair, fair skin, and a hot body. She was gorgeous and was probably the center of attention of the whole volleyball court. Most men knew that she was very close to Yoel Holden, and they would not even dare to look at her. This automatically made Gerald an outlaw. Crystal brushed her hair with her fingers. “Hmm… I’ve seen all kinds of dirty men before. Sisters, let’s go check his phone and if he really did sneak some photos of us. We shall beat him to death!” “That’s right! If it was Yoel or Aiden, it would have been fine, but it’s a dirty little peasant! What humiliation!” the girls went on, as they stormed toward Gerald. Gerald wanted to run, but it was too late. “You! Were you staring at us the whole time while thinking about dirty stuff?” one of the girls shouted, her large breasts bouncing as she walked. “I…I wasn’t!” Gerald spoke the truth as he was innocent. He wasn’t even paying attention to them. He did not even realize that there was such a pretty girl among them. If he had noticed her, he would have been long staring at her by now. “Ya, right! Who are you trying to fool, huh? You’re already drooling all over the place. I’ve never seen such a disgusting person like you! Show us your phone!” “Yes! Show us your phone, you disgusting pervert! You better listen before Yoel comes and screws you up!” the girls yelled at him. Crystal was hugging her arms and looking very satisfied. It was true that Yoel was popular, and he and Crystal were close, but until today their relationship was still not confirmed. Crystal knew that things that were easily obtained weren’t even worth a penny. It was why she’d always kept her distance from Yoel no matter how hard he tried to win her heart. She had fallen for him already since she knew Yoel was the son of the county’s richest man, a genuinely wealthy heir. Just like she planned, as long as she kept her distance from him, he would try even harder. This would give Crystal the upper hand since the girls always saw her as the leader. “I told you, I did not take any pictures of you all!” Gerald smiled helplessly. Even though these girls were pretty, they were not friendly at all, and who would not stare at a bunch of pretty girls in bikinis if they were just right in front of you! It was getting awkward, and Gerald wanted to get away. “Where do you think you’re going? Get him, sisters!” The pretty girls surrounded Gerald to stop him from fleeing, pinning him to the ground while a few sat on top of him.

[Chapter 160]

The girls pinned him against the sandy beach. “Don’t you dare offend me, you perverted peasant! You’re finished when Yoel gets here!” Crystal scoffed. A girl handed Crystal a bathrobe to cover up. “Guys! There’s some big news. A group of girls is ganging up on a guy over there!” “Huh? What happened?” “A pervert guy apparently staring at the bikini girls playing volleyball. They were unhappy that he was staring, and they fought!” “Let’s go check it out!” People were coming over to the other side of the beach after hearing what happened. Dickson, Amber, and Elena heard about it amid the barbeque and immediately went over. “Elena and Amber, let’s go and have a look. I would really like to see which brother has fallen.” Elena did not want to follow them at first, but she wanted to leave anyway, to check if Gerald had gone back to the hotel. She nodded and followed them. When they reached the other end of the beach, a few girls were sitting on a guy, pinning him down as he struggled. Dickson, Amber, and Elena were stunned. “Gerald?” Elena could not believe what she just saw. She almost thought she was dreaming. How could a fine young man like Gerald get beaten up by a bunch of girls? Amber gulped. “Hey, Dickson, Amber… isn’t he the guy you people brought over?” One of Dickson’s friends scowled. “No, no, we don’t know him. Oh my goodness, he’s so disgusting!” shouted Amber. She wanted to cover her face in embarrassment. Being poor and ugly was not even a big problem, and now, he had become dirty and perverted while his girlfriend was still around. Amber could not take it anymore. “Amber, it’s probably his first time seeing girls in bikinis, and he went out of his mind! Hahaha!” Dickson started laughing loudly after seeing that Elena’s face had bunched up. He thought she was embarrassed and disappointed, and that made him feel even better. “I don’t even know how you got in here, pervert. Now speak! Did you take pictures?” Crystal hugged herself while she stepped on Gerald’s head. Fuck! What a disgrace! Gerald was so pissed off the last time he promised himself that a situation like this wouldn’t happen the second time. That said, the last time he was ganged by a bunch of girls, it was because of Elena and the others. He promised himself there would be no third time! Just when Gerald was going to beat up someone. “Look! The Luxurious Cruise is here. Yoel is here!” someone shouted. Everyone turned and looked toward the sea. A luxury yacht pulled up by the Mayberry Beach harbor. A fat young man in a bathrobe and sunglasses stood standing on the deck. By his side were all manner of girls in bikinis. They were all around him, feeding him with wine. On the corner of the deck were also many rich young men. It was Aiden and the rest. Since they were all subordinates of Jessica, they shared a close relationship. “Yoel!” “Yoel!” “Yoel!” Everyone was shouting the name of the wealthy young man.
