Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 422

Rae recognized the man and she bore a look of surprise on her face.

Seeing that Rae and the tycoon were there, Waylon was surprised as well.

He got out of his car and leaned against it with one hand in his pocket. He then smiled and said, "Bought it about half a month ago. I finally found a chance to drive it today!" Waylon was another of Gerald's old classmates.

Back when they were still in school together, there were only two boys who were very rich and powerful. They still are today.

One of them was Cameron, whose family was related to the health department. The other was none other than Waylon.

Both Waylon and Cameron shared a good relationship back then. They enjoyed messing around during class.

Since the two of them had wealth and power, they both lived good lives even after graduating from high school.

However, Gerald was more interested in Waylon's relationship with Xella. The two of them had never had a good relationship, even quarreling with each other at times, at least as far as Gerald could remember They now looked like they shared quite a good relationship.

As they were chatting with each other, Rae pointed at Gerald before saying, "Say, Waylon, Gerald's here too. Why don't you talk to him?"

Waylon then finally looked toward Gerald who had been standing beside them all this time.

"Oh goodness! If you hadn't told me about it, I really wouldn't have recognized him. You're here too, Gerald!" said Waylon as he smiled faintly.

Rae simply sneered at that. "What, have you forgotten already, Waylon? You once asked Gerald to lend you his workbook so that you could copy his answers. Gerald didn't let you so you took a chair and beat him up all the way from the platform to the back of the classroom. I remember him looking scared half to death back then since you did it so harshly," said Rae as she reminisced.

Gerald was placed in an extremely awkward position as soon as she said that.

He distinctly remembered that incident and it had been a reoccurring bad memory for him. Waylon was like a shadow in Gerald's heart since he always ridiculed Gerald openly. That wasn't the only time he had beaten Gerald up either.

It had been so traumatizing that whenever Gerald heard even his name, he grew instinctively frightened.

During that incident, both Xella and Sharon had quarreled fiercely with Waylon because they wanted to help Gerald.

Xella had even taken a textbook and smashed it on Waylon so that she could avenge Gerald.

It was an unpleasant experience as a whole and Gerald could only reply with a bitter smile.

However, Waylon was indifferent to the situation and simply changed the topic. "Well, that's enough chit chat. When I called Xella earlier I thought she was going to be here alone. It turns out that all of you were here waiting for the bus! Either way, come on Xella, let's go."

'Xella must have been afraid that I would misunderstand earlier, so that's why she answered the call secretly' Gerald thought to himself.

It wasn't really necessary. Gerald didn't care, quite honestly.

However, she had promised and agreed that they would be going to the gathering together. As it turned out, she had both Gerald and Waylon waiting to take her there. That was the only thing that slightly troubled Gerald.

"Sure. Let's go in Waylon's car together, Gerald. You don't have to take the bus too!" said Xella as she blushed slightly while looking toward Gerald.

In their minds, the tycoon and Rae had added themselves to the picture. 'Imagine riding in an Audi! That would feel so good! We could even deepen our relationship with Waylon! How nice!'

"I'm afraid that just won't be possible. I need to pick up another classmate later and if Gerald joins, there won't be any space in the car left!" said Waylon, a grimace on his face as he stepped into his car. Xella was now sitting beside Waylon who had just gotten into the driver's seat.

This made Xella feel even more awkward. "I... see... Then... What should we do then?"

"How about this, Gerald can just hail a taxi since it'll only cost about ten dollars!" replied Waylon.

"You don't need to do that! Aren't there Ofo bikes by the street? Just scan one then ride the bike to the gathering!" said Rae.

"D*mn! That's just too pathetic!" Waylon then burst out laughing.

Once he stopped, he said, "Let's just meet later at the hotel then, Gerald."

After that, he just drove off without saying another word.

Xella had wanted to say something to Gerald but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She could only roll up the car's window. She sighed internally. 'What else could I have said...'

Once they left, several people were already looking at Gerald pitifully. A few others simply sniggered.

'That Gerald guy there was clearly being looked down upon. He's so pitiful!' That was what almost everyone there was thinking at that moment. However, Gerald didn't let it bother him. He simply smiled in resignation before walking to the parking lot beside the bus stop.

He passed by the bus stop as his Mercedes-Benz G-Class drove swiftly toward the venue of the gathering.
