Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 337

Gerald remained in the VIP waiting area as he watched the two continue to bicker, a quarrel seemingly imminent.

From what he was able to hear, Gerald was able to piece the reason for their argument together.

Essentially, Sharon had broken up with Murphy without giving him a proper explanation. Her only excuse was that she wanted some time to herself.

This was very reminiscent of the time Xavia had broken up with him. F*ck. She had said the exact same thing to him too. That she wanted some time alone.

He really shouldn't be thinking about her anymore.

Shaking his head, he turned his focus on the duo's argument again.

The rest of the story was rather straightforward. Murphy had not been convinced with her excuse from the very beginning. He later found out that Sharon was getting very close to a rich heir. What more, Sharon's friend had also told him that Sharon had been actively pursuing said heir.

Because of that, Murphy now had conflicted feelings for Sharon.

On one hand, he was still in love with her. On the other, he felt betrayed.

Thus, Murphy had been trying to get Sharon to reconcile with him for some time now. He simply wanted to do so because even he had his own dignity as a man.

All that eventually led to the current scene in the jewelry shop.

Now, Sharon was telling Murphy to buy her a piece of jewelry from Trinity Jewelers. She said that she would return to his side as long as he could afford to buy her even a single piece of jewelry. That was going to be a difficult task for Murphy.

The items there were all atrociously expensive. Even the cheapest piece of jewelery there would have a price tag of up to four thousand and five hundred dollars. Murphy had just started working so he definitely wouldn't have that kind of money.

"Sharon, the jewelry here is much too expensive. Could we please go to another shop instead? As long as it doesn't exceed a thousand and five hundred dollars I'll definitely get it for you." Murphy had a determined voice and expression on his face as he said this.

"Hehe... You want me to be your girlfriend when all you can afford is one thousand and five hundred dollars? Are you daft, Murphy? This cell phone alone that Hayward bought for me costs at least a thousand dollars!" replied Sharon as she sneered.

Since she was already going to break ties with him anyway, she might as well go all out!

"It's all crystal clear now. You like Hayward just because he has more money. Even if I did manage to buy you a piece of jewelry in this shop, you'd still refuse to go out with me. That's the plain truth, isn't it Sharon?" said Murphy, his face red with anger.

"Oh, Murphy. To be honest, I don't really want to hurt you that much since you've treated me so well in the past. So be a good boy and run along. Stop bothering me alright? And to set things straight, I really do love Hayward. You've never been able to make me feel the way he has. From that alone, I believe that it really is impossible for us to be together anymore. So why not just drop the relationship talk for good? Maybe we could even still be friends in the future. You're an outstanding person and I'm sure you'll find a better girl than I am," replied Sharon in a sudden, serious tone.

"You really are too much, Sharon. I've always treated you well and I've been willing to do anything for you. But now you're just breaking up with me without even considering my feelings! It's all too clear now. You've already slept with him, haven't you?"

Murphy's self-esteem had been trampled on enough. His eyes were bloodshot and he was done playing nice.

The sound of a slap echoed through the shop.

Sharon's instant reply to him was a tight slap to the face!

"You lunatic! You absolute f*cking lunatic!" yelled Sharon.

Another slap could be heard. But this time, it wasn't Sharon who did the slapping.

Murphy had retaliated and slapped her back in rage. Sharon now lay on the ground, stunned by the force of his slap.

By this point, several pedestrians had already gathered around the scene to watch.

"I'll just end myself along with you! I... I'll beat you to death this instant! Return all the money that I've spent on you!" yelled Murphy as he continued punching and kicking her. The man seemed to have gone insane.

Initially, Gerald had not wanted to get involved in the matter. He had once been in an ambiguous relationship with Sharon and they nearly became a couple.

It had been three years since then, and Gerald knew that Sharon definitely looked down on him now.

Back to the present, Gerald had thought that they would only end up quarreling for a while. This had become way too physical for him to just ignore.

If he didn't step in now, his guilt would definitely come back to bite him later. Plus, there was a time when he had strong feelings for her in the past after all. Thinking back, the cause of their breakup was also indirectly related to him.

Gerald shook his head before walking over to help separate the two of them. By that time, several big bosses who had come to buy jewelry were already trying to stop the fight.
