Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1014
The simultaneously surprised and delighted voice had come from a middle-aged man who stood up as soon as he saw her.

“It’s truly been a while, uncle!” replied Xavia with a slight nod.

“Humph! It’s just as they say. When you’re poor, nobody looks for you even if you’re living in a bustling city! When you get rich, however, even the most distant of relatives will come running to meet you, even if you’re living in the middle of a forest! I do wonder if that saying applies to a certain relative of mine who just so happened to hear that my family’s Zion just got promoted!” sneered a woman—seated on one of the couches—before flashing a cold smile as she continued peeling an orange.

Hearing that, several of the other young men and women in the room took turns staring at Xavia contemptuously.

“It’s been so long yet your way of talking never changes, does it, aunt? Now that I think about it, this was also the place where you mocked and embarrassed my mother so much back then, right?” replied Xavia with a smile.

Clearing his throat, the eldest uncle then asked in a concerned tone, “Let’s not talk about the past right now… Regardless, I remember your father falling sick that year… We haven’t contacted each other in so long… How is he doing now?”

“He was cured ages ago,” replied Xavia as she recalled the incident that had taken place around eight years ago.

Back then, Xavia’s father had fallen sick. Due to being cheated of his money in the years prior, he didn’t have the money to cure his illness. As a result, Xavia and her mother had gone to the Logan Province in an attempt to borrow some money from her uncle.

However, no matter how much her mother begged, none of them extended a helping hand.

As if that wasn’t enough, in the end, her eldest aunt kicked both her and her mother out of their home! It was akin to them chasing away a few stray dogs. Her aunt even went so far as to throw out all the local mountain products which Xavia’s mother had so carefully picked.

Upon seeing all her mother’s hard efforts scattered on the ground, Xavia had kept that painful memory within her heart till this very day.

In fact, the pain from that incident had been her motivation to try her best at studying. Her goal was to earn her respect so that she wouldn’t ever be looked down upon again. Due to that, she eventually managed to get admitted into Mayberry University!

After getting in, however, she soon realized that no matter how hard she worked, she could never truly rid herself of her poverty.

Even after finding a boyfriend whom she truly adored, both of them ended up being looked down upon by everyone else.

She just couldn’t endure it anymore. She wanted to be prestigious, to be a person with high status.
