The Secretly Rich Man
Chapter 425

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 425 "Yeah, come on Xella, tell us. What's wrong?" asked a few of the classmates curiously.

Xella nodded before she began sharing an incident that had happened to her in great detail.

Not too long after, Gerald's curiosity was sated.

It turned out that not long after she had been recruited by the company, her superior began constantly harassing her. The superior in question was a deputy manager of one of the departments.

According to Xella's description, the deputy manager was a balding man who had lost all his hair around the crown of his head. He looked quite old and obscene in general.

Initially, he hadn't dared to do much. He simply asked Xella out to have meals with him.

After rejecting him several times, Xella eventually found it difficult to continue doing so. Hence, she finally decided to accept and have a meal with him one day.

From that day onward, the man became more perverted and daring.

He constantly called Xella to his office. At the start, he would only say imprudent things to her from time to time. Now, things were getting physical and it was not uncommon for him to use both his hands and legs to harass her.

About two days before the carnival, the deputy manager had called Xella to come over. This resulted in her thigh being caressed by him.

She was so nervous at the time that she instinctively picked a glass of water up and poured it all over the deputy manager.

Now, she was being threatened to be fired. He wanted her to obey him, otherwise she would have to resign from the company. She was told to be sensible and act accordingly as well.

After that incident, Xella ended up telling Waylon about what had happened.

Only Waylon was powerful and influential enough to set the deputy manager straight. Help from her classmates was also welcome.

"Well d*mn! Now I really want to beat up that old pervert! How dare he bully our goddess!" shouted some of the men indignantly.

"That's the spirit! However, we women really need to learn how to better protect ourselves. We're always being harassed and bullied. You know, a few people who didn't know about my connections or background had constantly requested me to do things for them back when I first arrived at the hospital. Once they got to know who my boyfriend was, nobody tried anything funny with me anymore!" said Morgana.

"I know right? Speaking of which, Xella, you and Sharon were both equally the most beautiful girls in our class during our school days. Sharon's already found herself a good and powerful boyfriend so you should definitely do the same! Find yourself a man like that who cherishes you and you'll bump into way fewer problems like this in the future!" added Rae.

Xella only blushed slightly at this before looking toward the floor.

"Don't worry, Xella. After today's gathering ends I'll resolve the issue for you! He's just a deputy manager after all!" said Waylon confidently.

"Waylon I just want you to scare him a little so that he'll stop bothering me, please don't do anything unnecessary!" replied Xella with a slightly worried tone. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

"If you want to scare him off, you need to look no further! Gerald's here and he can easily ask Louie to help with that!" said Cameron as he looked at Gerald. Gerald looked back at him and could only give a cold smile as the others burst out laughing.

It was a rare moment for Gerald to have finally found someone equally fun, good, and capable. However, it didn't matter in the end.

Xella looked toward Gerald for a brief moment before averting her gaze and looking back at Waylon.

Her answer was quite obvious.

Back in high school, Xella had shared quite a good relationship with Gerald, up to the point where she actively defended him from Waylon.

Now, however, she was much closer to Waylon.

Waylon was naturally considered to be the most powerful among the classmates and he had a lot more connections and resources compared to the others as well. Gerald had nothing except for Louie, as far as the people there knew.

Gerald could understand her reasoning and couldn't fully blame her.

After experiencing enough in society, ordinary people usually concluded that money and resources were much more important than actual friendship.

Gerald was honestly slightly upset since it happened to someone he had treated like a close friend before.

However, Gerald chose to not say anything about it.

He simply looked at the others when the topic was changed to ridicule him again.
