Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 228
Of course, she was more than determined to devour Gerald whole.
Her current behavior indicated that she very strongly intended to meet her goals.
Back then, Gerald would have felt a certain sense of accomplishment if he met someone as stunning as Whitney. Now, after all that awful bullying, she was reduced to pestering him like a dog.
Now, Gerald couldn’t help but panic. He felt his scalp tingling and goosebumps sprouting all over him.
Not knowing how to react, he instinctively ran away.
“Gerald, come back here!” Whitney yelled as she jumped anxiously.
She smiled to herself as Gerald ran for dear life.
Hehe! She initially thought that Gerald would hate her to the point of loathing when he saw her. Now, it rather seemed that Gerald was actually more afraid of her.
It could only mean that she still had a chance!
Thoughts coursed through her mind. Whitney crossed her arms, looking out at the Lamborghini’s passenger seat.
“One day, I, Whitney, will definitely sit beside Gerald as he drives me around the school!”
Meanwhile, Gerald had already run all the way back to his classroom.
This was the very reason he never wanted to so carelessly disclose his identity.
It was definitely not narcissistic. Gerald knew all too well that materialistic gold-diggers the likes of Whitney or Xavia would pounce on him like no tomorrow.
They would simply cause a disruption in his life.
Regardless of how he was going to live after this, Gerald wholeheartedly yearned to complete his studies first.
After returning to his classroom, Gerald spotted his coursemates having an eager discussion among themselves.
He could roughly make out what they were so enthusiastic about.
They must be all talking about Silas, a guy who had recently transferred to their university.
The topic was about his greatness, and the large number of girls who had confessed their love for him although he had just transferred over.
In short, everything seemed to be very glamorous.
“Gerald! You’re here! Come, you’ve got to listen to this thing about Silas! After this, you better give us a good explanation of why you didn’t tell us, your brothers, that you were getting together with Alice?”
Harper flashed a fist at Gerald.
“Gerald, too bad you were on leave yesterday. You should have been at the event the university held to welcome Silas!” said Harper.
“Why? Did they host a welcome party just for him? How could the university do something like that?”
Benjamin chipped in: “Well, they didn’t exactly call it a welcome party. Silas is one pretty incredible dude. His dad invested seven and a half million just to hold a special celebration party at our university. To put it straight, wasn’t it a hint that the university should hold a welcome party for Silas? Hah!”
Benjamin’s tone had a hint of jealousy in it.
“Oh, you know what’s even funnier? Since Cassandra, our lecturer, is one of the prettiest lecturers on campus, she was sent to welcome the guest. Guess what? She was flirting with Silas all the way! Was she drunk or what?” Harper replied as he smiled.
“Well…” Gerald chuckled, simply smiling wryly and shaking his head.
Surprised to find out what Cassandra was really like? In reality, Gerald had long known of the lecturer’s true nature.
Just look at the photo she recently sent him.
As he thought about it, Gerald secretly logged into his WeChat. He was angry the other day and didn’t take a good look at the picture. After hearing his coursemates mentioning her, he felt a sudden urge to look at the photo again.
He then took a proper look at the pictures Cassandra sent him almost every night ever since that day. All of them had her face in it, and to say that they were inviting and seductive was a gross understatement.
Gerald was filled with enthusiasm.
He said all but one word: Promiscuous!
Out of the blue, Cassandra replied to his text in seconds.
“Who’s promiscuous? Even if I am what you say I am, I only behave this way with you. It’s not like I’m like that with anyone else. Hmph! Did you get jealous when you saw Silas and me getting cozy at the meeting last night? You can tell me if you are. I’ll just stop looking at him then.”
“I’m not jealous.”
“Pfft! I don’t believe you. Brother Ordinary Man, if you promise to meet up, I will show you my ***, okay?”
“We will cross the bridge when we come to it.”
“You are so hateful! Okay… anyway, I’m heading to class.”
Gerald felt a sense of hostility as he continued chatting with her. The more Cassandra acted like that, the stronger his yearning for revenge got.
Suddenly, the door to the lecture room flung, and a woman’s shouting was heard.
“Time for class, people! Now, what’s with all that noise?!”
Cassandra stormed into the classroom, phone in hand, with her face darkened and expression somber.
There was a tinge of coldness in her eyes.
She eyeballed the room with the stare of a woman scorned.
Finally, her gaze fell on Gerald.
