Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 260

Harper was a little worried.

Gerald was also starting to break out in cold sweat. Could something bad have happened to Benjamin?

Gerald took his cell phone and tried to call Benjamin.

However, his cell phone had already been turned off.

"D*mn it. What's going on?" Harper asked as he scratched his head anxiously.

Gerald no longer had the mood to lie down anymore, so he jumped off his bed as he whispered, "Speaking of this, Benjamin has indeed been acting strangely recently. Since last week, I have realized Benjamin would be smiling at his cell phone sometimes. When I wanted to peek at his cell phone, he refused to let me see it. However, he seemed really depressed over the past two days. He had to be hiding something from us!"

Gerald spoke up as he thought about Benjamin's performance and behavior over the past two days.

However, since Benjamin had always been a very cheerful and happy-go-lucky person, no one in the dormitory took it to heart when he was depressed once in a while. They simply thought of bringing him out to relax and have some fun.

"Yes. I also noticed that. The most important thing right now is for us to find him as soon as possible. I hope that nothing bad has happened to him!"

After Harper was done speaking, the brothers immediately got ready to go out and look for Benjamin.

Gerald felt so anxious that he was even thinking of calling the police.

As soon as they opened the dormitory door, everyone was stunned. Benjamin was back!

He was soaked in sweat from head to toe, and he looked unusually haggard.

"F*ck! Benjamin! Where did you go?" Harper scolded him anxiously.

"Oh, oh, I went out for a while. I had something going on in the last two days!"

Benjamin seemed a little preoccupied as he replied to them. After that, he yawned before he entered the dormitory.

"Why was your cell phone turned off?"

When Gerald saw Benjamin's appearance and reaction, he felt that something was a little off.

"Benjamin, are you hiding something from us?"

"Huh? I... I'm fine!"

"Then, didn't you say that something happened in the past two days?"

Gerald and Harper exchanged glances with one another. It would be strange if Benjamin was truly fine. At this time, everyone in the dormitory had already surrounded Benjamin.

Benjamin lowered his head and stopped talking, but he had a very gloomy expression on his face.

"Benjamin, are you trying to make us die from worry?" Gerald asked as he patted Benjamin on his shoulder.

Benjamin's mouth twitched slightly as he was faced with everyone's questioning and concern. He could not help but grabbed his hair frantically at this time as he said:

"Don't ask me if everything is okay. Don't worry about me. I, Benjamin, am worthless. I am a scumbag! Please, I beg you. Stop asking me about it!"

"I... I have been lying to all of you all this while. I am truly a scumbag. All of you don't have to treat me as your buddy anymore in the future. If I tell you about it, all of you will definitely look down on me!"

"?!"

Both Gerald and Harper were a little confused.

After that, Gerald said, "How could that be possible, Benjamin? We will only look down on you if you are running away from your own problems. Unless you mean that you have never regarded us as your brothers?"

"No, no, no! Of course I have always regarded all of you as my brothers! My feelings for all of you are absolutely true!" Benjamin replied as he scratched his head earnestly. "Okay, I will tell you everything. Perhaps, I will feel a little better after telling all of you about it!"

"In truth, Gerald, Harper, my family is actually quite poor. Haven't all of you always thought that I come from a pretty good family background? I have always been faking it! To be honest, my family's situation is not any better compared to how Gerald used to be in the past. My parents are both ill, and I also have a sister who is seriously ill!"

"Everyone looked down on my family ever since I was young. Do you know something? When I was seven years old, my mother brought me to my aunt's house to borrow some money from her. As a result, they threw my mother and me out of their house! They even threw out all of my family's agricultural products!"

"Therefore, I have always been particularly afraid that people would look down on me. I have always had this fear ever since I was a child. I am especially afraid that people will look down on me if I do not have money. So, ever since I was in high school, I have been deliberately faking it and pretending that I have money!"

"Last week, the high school class monitor that I had been pursuing for several years finally agreed to get together with me. However, she is completely different compared to any other girl. She is not a greedy and materialistic person, but I lied to her. I lied and told her that I was doing very well in school. I even told her that I opened a few shops, but now..."

Benjamin lowered his head in desperation.

Gerald understood what he was saying. "She said that she wants to come here to see you now?"

"Yes. I told her that I would go and find her instead, but she insisted on coming here. What can I do? If she finds out that I have been lying to her, she will definitely break up with me. I really cherish her a lot! That is why I have been working hard and taking on part-time jobs over the past two days to make some money!"

Gerald did not know how to persuade Benjamin when he saw the state his friend was in.

After all, he himself had also deceived Mila a few times.

Therefore, he understood what Benjamin was feeling. He wanted to obtain love, but he was also afraid that he would lose love because of poverty. That was why he had done that.

"Well, Benjamin, you don't have to worry anymore. I have a solution for this matter!"
