Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 80

“Shut up, Kyle!” Mila threw the cushion in her hands at Kyle angrily.
“Nonsense! Yes, Gerald won a lottery. But, are you jealous of him?”
Hearing Kyle’s mocking words toward Gerald, Mila felt sick. He even said that Gerald had given his ex-girlfriend condoms. That was just too disgusting. He was clearly insulting Gerald, wasn’t he?!
Mila had always thought of Gerald as her good friend.
“What do you mean, Sister? Are you saying that I’m talking nonsense?”
Kyle mocked him further as he laughed. “If you don’t believe in what I said, you can ask Victor Wright, the vice president of the student union, who is also his coursemate. Even Whitney knows about this. He really did run an errand to get his ex-girlfriend some condoms for the mere sake of ten dollars!”
Mila frowned, and the way Mila’s parents and her friends looked at him changed totally.
“He seemed to be a decent man. I didn’t expect him to be so pathetic for the sake of money!”
“Disgusting!”
They all murmured, judging him.
Gerald took a deep breath and glanced at Victor who had been keeping mum since the beginning.
Victor had known it all along, and he was most probably the person who had told Kyle about this.
Among all of them, Gerald bet he must be the one whom Victor hated the most.
Mila cast a questioning look at Gerald, and Gerald nodded. “Yes, I did.”
He had had no money then. So, was it wrong to earn some living expenses by running errands for other people?
Gerald did not think it was shameful.
That night, Danny had tricked him into sending the condoms to Xavia.
It was a fact, and he did not intend to hide it anyway.
“Gerald, you…” Mila stared at Gerald, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Honestly, Mila had never experienced poverty, but in her mindset, she thought that a person would deem his dignity as something important no matter how poor he was.
She did not expect that Gerald would do something like this.
Moreover, she had been defending Gerald all this time.
Mila was shocked now that Gerald had admitted it himself.
At the same time, Mila’s parents’ faces stiffened with dismay as soon as they heard Kyle saying that Gerald had had feelings toward their daughter.
What a mess!
Now, there was a sense of annoyance when Mila’s mother looked at Gerald.
Knock, knock!
Somebody knocked on the door. Soon, a young man appeared at the door.
Seeing this young man, Gerald’s face changed. Although it was subtle, he looked sinister.
“Quinton!”
“Yo, Quinton!”
Kyle was surprised, and so were Mila’s parents. Once they saw him, their eyes shone with hope, like a duck to water.
“Hey, wasn’t he the one who drugged his own stepmother a few days ago?”
“Yeah. He is quite a nasty man. Nevertheless, he is very wealthy. He is one of the Mayberry Commercial Street magnates! He even has a contract with Grand Marshall Restaurant!”
“Hmph! So what?! Who in this world has never done nasty things? I heard that after that incident, Quinton truly learned his lesson and changed for the better. His willingness to change is priceless.”
Many of Mila’s female friends looked at Quinton.
His unsightly past was perfectly covered by his current brilliance, and he gained much admiration from the pretty girls.
Quinton walked in with a bag in his hands. Not a single trace of shame from what happened days ago could be seen on his face.
However, when he walked past a certain person, he was taken aback and even moved a few steps back.
Looking at that person in utmost surprise, he asked as his face turned pale, “Gerald, why are you here?”
