The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 91-95

[Chapter 91]

Gerald turned around and looked at Xavia indifferently.

“Xavia, of course I have not forgotten the things that you said. Indeed, it was because of you that made me feel that there is hope in my life during that period. Did you know? I was willing to give you everything at that time. However, it was you who broke up with me. To be honest, I’m still hurting even till now. I just hope that you can always be well. It will be the same in the future. You should get on with your life!”

It was no longer possible for him to get back together with Xavia after experiencing the things that had happened over the recent days! It was not perfunctory, and he meant it sincerely. Xavia finally calmed down after hearing these words, and her face grew very red. Once, there was a boy who loved her so much and was willing to sacrifice everything for her. Alas, she had wanted to seek comfort.

Even now, Xavia did not dare to say that she used to love Gerald whole-heartedly. At that time, she had just wanted to find a boy who was willing to like her. Later, she saw that many girls, even those who were not as beautiful as her, had found very handsome and rich boyfriends.

Hence, Xavia’s heart had faltered. She had only heard of Yuri Lowell before but did not know him. Thus, she had been tempted when he drove a BMW and stopped in front of her to ask her for a date. Gerald was no match for him. She did feel slightly distressed when she had broken up with Gerald, but the pain had soon disappeared when she received an Apple mobile phone from Yuri. Now, it turned out that Gerald was a rich second generation, a top-class second generation at that! Xavia truly regretted it.

She had lost out on the most important person! And Gerald had already said it now.

He would never get back together with her! She felt as humiliated as if she had been stripped naked and thrown on the streets.

“Alright, I get it!” Xavia’s eyes turned red. She clenched her fists and said,

“Gerald, don’t you forget. I will not let you look down on me forever. I will let you look at my back one day! I will repay all the humiliation that you gave me today!”

Xavia wiped away her tears and glared at him Then, she tore off her work attire and threw it to his feet, leaving immediately after.

Gerald looked at her retreating back that still looked so ruthless at the end, and he did not feel good about it. All the same, he hoped that she would do well. No one had expected this to happen, and Jane, who had suffered a slap for nothing, did not dare to say anything at this moment.

Even if she was just an ex-girlfriend, she used to be Mr. Gerald’s girlfriend. She could only endure it unwillingly. They soon came to the room.

Mr. Harrison of the Bureau of Commerce and Mr. Henderson of the Bureau of Education purposefully came to meet Gerald respectively for the investment in some regions as well as some projects for childrens education, such as building a primary school, and they hoped to get help from Mayberry International Inc.

These were all done under the order of his sister, Jessica Crawford. Gerald also understood what his sister meant to do, which was to help them as a favor, and so, he happily signed it. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Henderson were very grateful as each of these projects signed by Gerald was not simple.

For example, for the Hope Primary School project, a total of more than twenty schools would be built in Mayberry.

They then enjoyed the meal happily, and Gerald also got to meet with other merchants in Mayberry City.

“Mr. Gerald, this is my name card. If you need any assistance in the future, don’t hesitate to call me!”

Mr. Harrison shook Gerald’s hand before he left.

[Chapter 92]

He had never expected Mr. Gerald, who was a top-class wealthy man, to be so down-to-earth. It was very different from what he imagined! Moreover, the latter had offered him a great help this time. For his part, Gerald knew that he was still not very sociable, but he was not in a hurry, and he knew to take his time.

“Mr. Gerald!” Gerald was preparing to leave after the guests had left. He had an exam to attend tomorrow, so, he needed to go back and practice again. Jane was walking over with a blushing face at this time. She had just been slapped earlier, and it was somewhat embarrassing for her to face Gerald now. Gerald also felt sorry toward her. This beautiful senior had always been very fierce, even he had almost surrendered last time!

“Yes? Do you need anything?” Gerald asked.

“It’s like this. I don’t have any shifts in the afternoon. Hence, I’m going home now. Would you like me to drop you off at the university since we are heading in the same direction?” Jane purposely tried to get close to Gerald.

Other than having a sense of respect toward Gerald, Jane was also bolder toward him after knowing that he was very down-to-earth and introverted. After all, if she had a good relationship with Gerald, she might have a chance of being his partner. Even if she was just a sex partner, Jane was willing to do so.

“Alright!”

Gerald agreed without thinking much. He felt bad as she had had to endure the humiliation of being slapped by Xavia just now.

To put it bluntly, it was also because of him. Jane was very happy to hear this and hurried to the car. Gerald did not expect her to drive so fast and her driving skills to be that good.

It seemed that Jane got along well with the people here, and the two had a little chat in the car. At this time, Jane’s cell phone rang. She picked it up, took a look, and hung up impatiently. Soon, the phone rang again. She picked it up and hung up yet again.

“Just answer the call. Are you afraid that I might hear it?” Gerald smiled in amusement. Jane blushed.

“No. Why would I? I don’t have any secrets to hide from Mr. Gerald. I will satisfy you no matter what you want to see or hear…” Jane said these words gently, slightly lifting her legs to reveal a pair of white thighs.

Gerald felt very hot at this moment. He was extremely tempted to reach out to them, but he was a little embarrassed. Just then, the phone rang again. Jane did not hang up this time. Instead, she answered the call.

“Luke, are you out of your mind? Why do you keep calling me? I have already said that it was not because of your wealth that I left you. It’s impossible for the two of us! I already have someone in my heart. You’d better go find someone else and move on! You are rich, so there will be many women surrounding you!” Jane hung up the phone fiercely after she was done speaking.

She had deliberately spoken very loudly.

Firstly, she wanted to tell Gerald that she was being chased by a rich guy, but she was not a person that looked down on the poor. Secondly, she was trying to tell Gerald that she was single, so, he could do whatever he wanted with her! It was a pity that Gerald had not taken any action yet. Did she have to take the initiative? Just as the two were waiting for each other to act first, the car had arrived at the gate of the University of Mayberry, and the seven million dollar Benz naturally attracted a lot of people.

“Alright, let’s get down here!” Gerald saw the students’ gazes.

If they went further in, they would surely be stared at by more people, and it would be very uncomfortable. However, Jane remained silent at this moment. She frowned and looked at the men and women standing at the school gate before shyly whispering,

“Mr. Gerald, can I drop you further in, or should we go for a drive outside? Just don’t get down here, please?”

“Huh? Why?”

[Chapter 93]

Gerald glanced at Jane’s expression and realized that something was wrong. He then looked to the direction that Jane was looking at, and he was quite surprised.

There were two men and one woman. One of the men seemed to be a high society person, and a Maserati was parked in front of him.

He was currently talking to the other guy and the woman, and to Gerald’s surprise, he knew both the man and woman. It was Danny Xanders from the same class and Jacelyn Leigh, Alice Bradford’s roommate. Oh gosh! When had they become a couple? Gerald was surprised. Also, it seemed like Jane knew them too. The man suddenly saw them and quickly ran toward Jane’s car in excitement.

“Dmn! Ah! Mr. Gerald, I’m not scolding you. I’m just scolding that guy—Luke Evans. I did not expect him to be here. He just won’t go away!” Jane was rather upset.

Her plan to seduce Gerald had been going so well. Unfortunately, she just had to run into Luke at this moment. On the other hand, Gerald did get a rough understanding of the issue. Luke must be Jane’s admirer. However, Jane did not like him.

What Gerald did not know was Jane still had a bit of feeling for Luke, but that was before she had met Gerald. At this time, Gerald felt that it would be a little awkward to get off the car when he saw Danny and Jacelyn walking toward them with a smile.

“Well, you’d better go down and talk to them. I’ll wait for you in the car. After that, you can just drop me off at the door of the dormitory!” Gerald scratched his head helplessly.

“Alright, Mr. Gerald!” Jane responded and got out of the car.

“Luke, why are you here? And also, why did you keep calling me just now? You’re so annoying!” Jane was truly annoyed.

“Jane, I also did not expect to meet you here. I’m here to send my cousin and his girlfriend back to the university. I remember you said that you would often pay a visit to your alma mater. Hence, I made a call and wanted to ask you to come around!” Luke smiled and continued,

“Jane, let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Danny. He’s a junior. This is his girlfriend, Jacelyn. She’s from the broadcasting faculty and is also a junior!”

“Hey, sister-in-law! You are so pretty!” To be honest, Danny was actually in awe seeing the beautiful and sexy Jane. Jane then laughed.

“Who is your sister-in-law?! I’m not Danny’s girlfriend!” Jane just wanted to get this over with, and her expression was not friendly.

Danny was startled. He could already feel it just now when he heard the conversation between Jane and his cousin, but Jane’s tone was really cold. It was not like what his cousin said.

Women were like this, they needed to be pampered. Still, her attitude and expression was not right, indicating that something was wrong. There was no need to pamper her! However, Luke felt slightly embarrased and tried to cover it up. He quickly smiled and said,

“That’s enough, Jane. Stop making a fuss. Go and park your car and the four of us will go shopping together!”

“Just who is the one causing trouble?! Luke, I have already said it very clearly. It’s impossible for us. I have someone in my heart. You are rich, you will be able to find another beautiful girl easily. Don’t waste your time and energy on me!” Jane said mercilessly.

At this moment, many students had come out to play, and they were all attracted by this scene. Two luxury cars, a man and a woman arguing… it was hard not to be noticed. Especially when Jane was speaking so loudly, it was so embarrassing for Luke.

“Jane, tell me. Who’s in your heart? Don’t tell me, is it your godfather who gave you this Mercedes-Benz? He’s almost sixty!” Luke’s face turned dark.

“Dmn! Luke, can you watch your words?!”

[Chapter 94]

Jane was grinding her teeth in consternation. Beside her, Jacelyn was clinging intimately to Danny’s arm while sizing Jane up at the same time.

Truth be told, when she saw the gorgeous Jane emerging from that fancy car, Jacelyn was immediately overcome with envy.

What’s more, Jane herself hadn’t spared her so much as a single glance, and Jacelyn was not pleased by that one bit. Having heard something interesting, she whispered to Danny and Luke,

“Goodness me, that Jane really gets around! She’s got powerful friends, buys an expensive car like it’s nothing… but does she have someone special? Perhaps, rather than those big tycoons, she might have picked up some new toy boy!” Smack! The moment Jacelyn said that… Jane slapped her right across the face.

“You’d better watch your mouth. What’s this ‘toy boy’ nonsense?”

“Did you just… slap me?!” Jacelyn held her face, quite nearly slapped senseless. Jane seemed ready to strike her again.

However, Luke caught her hand.

“Jane, dear, tell us if there’s any truth to Jacelyn’s words. Have you gotten yourself a pet lately?” He seemed genuinely nervous about this.

“Let go of me, Luke! What business of yours is it, whomever I like?” At this point, Jane sorely wished she’d stayed in the car.

Even if Luke had caught sight of her, all she’d had to do was step on the gas and make a break for it. Now, there was all this talk about tycoons and toy boys… She had gone through so much trouble to improve her image with Gerald, and now, all that had gone to waste! But the more she behaved this way, the more Luke feared it might be true.

D*mn it, how much money had he spent on this girl already? And to think she’d been keeping a little something for herself on the side?! Gerald sat in the car, listening to them squabble. There wasn’t much to be said. Jane loved money.

Gerald had known that all along. Once a hostess at some hot springs resort up in the mountains, she now held an executive position. There was no way she wouldn’t have some dirty little secrets here and there. At the moment though, Gerald would much rather for Jane to just drive away right now. Suddenly, a shadow loomed beside him as someone appeared by his side.

It was Jacelyn. After the slap she had taken, she was anxious to see if there was any swelling. If so, there would be hell to pay. As such, she turned her head this way and that in front of the passenger-side window. She even pouted a little to see if her cutesy charms had been diminished in any way. Good, still cute! Jacelyn nodded contentedly. Then, a shiver of alarm ran through her. Through the glass, she had noticed the vague outline of another person.

A man. How scandalous! Right now, nothing else could have mattered more. She smirked at Jane, and said to Luke,

“It’s true, Luke! There’s another man she’s been seeing, and he’s in the passenger seat of her car right now, too scared to step out into the light!” It was as though Jacelyn had happened upon a whole new world of wonder. Compared to Danny, Luke came from an even more well-off family. They were very influential around these parts, too.

Jane was about to receive her reckoning. Served her right! Feel the pain!

“What?!”

Hearing this, Luke and Danny both peered into the passenger seat. Because the windows were tinted, neither had paid much attention at first nor noticed anything.

Upon closer examination, there was indeed someone inside there. Unbeknownst to them, Gerald was already belting out wall-to-wall expletives! For crying out loud! Now he was getting caught up in all this mess?!

He had a bad feeling about this whole thing—because right now, a crowd was rapidly growing outside the car!

[Chapter 95]

“What’s going on?” The crowd swelled in size.

Curiosity was mounting.

“Not sure yet, but it seems that hot babe had something going with that rich dude, but she’s also been cheating on him with a toy boy on the side. Now, they’re making a scene!”

“That’s right! The other guy is in the car as we speak! This is going to be the dramatic reveal! I’m dying here!” “Heh, heh… If only it were me in that car right now. That girl is totally fine! Ah-woo!”

Many of the guys present were making no secret of their envy. Sitting in the car, Gerald wished he could smash his head against something.

“Danny, what’s going on?” Two figures appeared from the crowd.

One, a man, and the other, a woman, both who came over to join Danny.

“Oh, Victor, Whitney… we need some help over here!” Danny said.

He briefly explained the situation. Everyone craved the spotlight. When something was going on, especially with such a large audience gathered, there would always be people who wanted to get themselves involved and be a part of it!

“So that’s how it is. Alright, we’re all friends here. Let’s resolve this matter together. Whoever’s in that car, could you please step outside so we can clear this up?” Victor wore a mask of disdain.

“That’s right, that’s right! Come out so we can talk!” Jacelyn echoed excitedly.

“No way! Who do you think you are? Get lost, all of you!” Jane snapped and then turned on her heel, storming off.

At this rate, Gerald’s good name was going to fall to ruin. She wouldn’t be able to make up for that! But this was only making Luke more anxious. Burning with jealousy, he was losing all sense of reason.

“Jane, don’t you walk away! One way or another, I’m getting an answer out of you!” Then Danny and Victor were there, trying to open up the passenger door.

However, there was no need. Seeing how things had reached this point already, Gerald opened the door and stepped out on his own. The way he saw it, if he hesitated any longer, it would only make matters worse! “Gerald!” “I’ll be dmned!”

“The hell?!”

“What?!”

Danny, Jacelyn, Victor, and Whitney all planted their jaws on the ground.

“Why are you here?!” Jacelyn gasped.

In truth, these few days, Jacelyn had been harboring a major crush on Gerald. Unfortunately, he had remained oblivious to all the hints she’d been giving him.

The reason she was going out with Danny was thanks in part to Gerald. Since he had shown no interest in Jacelyn, she had decided to go after one of his classmates instead, hoping to incite his jealousy!

Furthermore, he was her main suspect as the true identity behind a certain legendary figure! For the sake of a catch like him, a few underhanded tactics were perfectly justified! However, this proved to be too big a plot twist.

“Dmn! And here I was wondering how you’d suddenly struck it rich… Now I see that you were somebody’s toy boy all along! And to think you were even flaunting your money for everyone to see!” Danny muttered darkly.

Honestly, finding Gerald in there had just made this much more interesting for him. Gerald put on a relaxed smile. “Jane was just giving me a lift back to school, haha… You guys are making too much out of this!” It was an embarrassing situation, but he kept his cool.

“The hell we are!” Danny hollered.

“Don’t try to wriggle out of this. Our Jane’s been keeping you around as her plaything, hasn’t she? All that money you’ve been splurging might very well have come from Luke!”

“What’s this? Danny, you know this guy?” Luke regarded Gerald with open hostility.

“Hah! Not only do we know him, but we’re also classmates with him! A penniless wretch who became rich all of a sudden… spinning some tale about winning the lottery, but it turns out he was just somebody’s pet!”

“Right! That’s right!” Whitney piped up.

“I heard Gerald was shopping for clothes once, in that upmarket place outside campus… He didn’t have enough money on him at the time, but then a girl our age showed up and paid in his stead! And then, he gave those clothes to me! The young woman in that story was loaded and owned the whole store chain… Maybe she’s also one of the girls holding your leash, eh?”

What had happened was that when Gerald had given that gift to Whitney just a few days ago, she had paid a visit to that same shop at the first opportunity to investigate if he had deceived her somehow.
