Ch. 681..685: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 681-685

Chapter 681

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 681 “It’s you?”

“It’s you?”

Mila and the girl spoke in unison. The both of us obviously did not expect to run into each other.

“Alice, who is she? Why does she look so familiar?”

One of the girls asked curiously.

The leader of the girls was none other than Alice.

“Oh! She is Mila, the only student from our university who managed to secure an internship in the Hong Kong Television Station!” Alice replied a little enviously.

All of them were from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting in Mayberry University. Therefore, Alice naturally had the opportunity to come and learn here too.

However, a team of thirty people would be assigned to television stations and also several newspaper departments based on a certain percentage. Only those with the best scores and results would be given the best learning opportunities.

“Oh! I know, Alice! Is she your ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend?”

Several girls who were standing aside suddenly began looking at Mila with a different expression in their eyes.

After all, best friends would always be best friends. They would always side with their own best friends.

Since the ex-girlfriend and current girlfriend were both a little confused at this time, the situation was actually a little awkward.

Alice had nothing to hide from her best friends.

Didn’t the girls already talk about this when they first arrived in Hong Kong anyway? Of course, they talked about boys more than anything else. Moreover, they even started comparing their own boyfriends.

To be honest, compared to her friends, the first person that she dated, who was none other than Quinton was nothing worthy at all.

In fact, after some time, Alice had also begun to deny the fact that she had ever been in a relationship with Quinton.

After all, the only reason why she got together with Quinton was because she thought that he was the one who had helped her. Unexpectedly, the person who had helped her was actually none other than Gerald.

Moreover, who could possibly be even more outstanding compared to Gerald?

After all, Gerald was always so calm and restrained. Alice really liked his temperament too.

Therefore, even though the both of them were only together for one day, Alice was still very proud to tell everyone that Gerald was her ex-boyfriend. She even told everyone that he was her one and only ex-boyfriend.

Of course, when she revealed the fact that Gerald’s identity was none other than the great Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City, her roommates were all in shock. They could only cry out and lament at the fact that it was a pity they broke up.

Haha!

Alice’s heart started hurting when she thought about Gerald.

If nothing else happened back then, she would have already been married into a very wealthy and influential family now.

But…alas!

The word Gerald seemed to be like a haze after that and it made Alice live in the shadow all the time.

This was also the reason why she had chosen to come to Hong Kong. It was because she wanted to avoid any memories that she had of Gerald.

Therefore, Alice had an indescribable feeling when she saw Mila at this moment.

However, that kind of feeling was obviously less intense now compared to the past.

“Are you and Gerald still doing well?”

Alice asked with a touch of pride and arrogance on her face.

“Yes! We are doing pretty good!”

Mila also could not help but feel a little jealous when she saw Alice. After all, Gerald had once confessed his love for her at the corridor because of a misunderstanding.

Even though Mila knew that nothing happened at all between the both of them, she could not help but feel uncomfortable when she thought about it.

Therefore, Mila felt that there was no need for her to tell Alice that she had gotten into an argument with Gerald.

“That’s great then. I wish the best for the both of you!”

Alice replied as she smiled, with a seemingly indifferent attitude.

That’s right. If it were one month ago, Alice would certainly feel very uncomfortable and even jealous when she saw Mila.

She would feel very jealous and envious of Mila because she had stolen her boyfriend from her.

She had robbed her of the glory and wealth that she should have had. After all, she was the person that Gerald had been initially interested in from the very beginning.

“Hmph! So, you simply have a rich boyfriend in Mayberry City, right? Alice is not doing that bad either. She is favored by Mr. Yan from Hong Kong now. Both Mr. Yan and Mr. Crawford come from the same wealthy and influential family backgrounds. So, they are not that different anyway. Furthermore, Mr. Yan is from Harvard!”

The girls who were standing aside could not help but compare Gerald to Mr. Yan.

They wanted to win back some face for Alice.

“Oh!” Mila simply nodded slightly.

This was the reason why Alice had changed a little.

Yes, she used to think that Gerald was really superb and impressive. However, she could not get together with him because she was the one who had constantly despised and looked down on him from the very beginning. This was the reason why her love story ended so hastily.

Remorse was the best word to describe how she felt.

Chapter 682

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 682 However, Alice only came to a realization after she came out of the circle in Mayberry City.

It turned out that the world was really very big.

Gerald was not the only person in this world who had that kind of worth and value.

Therefore, Alice’s feelings for Gerald began to fade and she no longer had such strong feelings for him anymore.

“Ahhh! A cruise ship!”

At this time, one of Alice’s friends who was standing beside her suddenly spoke as she started jumping excitedly.

“That is Mr. Yan’s cruise ship! Alice, Mr. Yan is driving his luxury cruise ship to pick us up!”

There was a very luxurious cruise ship on the sea at this moment.

A young man dressed in a bathrobe was holding a glass of red wine in his hand as he stood aboard the cruise ship.

This should be the Mr. Yan that the girls were talking about.

“Mr. Yan is really handsome!”

“That’s right! Alice is really very blessed! It was originally a very simple tea party, but Alice actually got acquainted with Mr. Yan there. Alice, I think that you should just accept Mr. Yan’s pursuit!”

Alice’s friends cried out in excitement.

Alice remained silent and she simply stared at Mr. Yan who was approaching them with a smile on his face.

The cruise ship arrived very soon.

Mr. Yan quickly came down from the cruise ship.

“Alice, sorry for being late!”

Mr. Yan said as he looked at Alice with a smile on his face.

“It’s alright!”

Alice gently smoothen her hair as she tucked it behind her ears.

“Mr. Yan, when will our cruise party start?”

The other girls asked excitedly.

“We can start immediately…okay?”

After Mr. Yan was done speaking, he was suddenly taken aback.

He looked at Mila who was standing aside at this time. She was obviously more beautiful and had an even better temperament compared to Alice.

“Alice, is this your friend too?”

Mr. Yan asked in surprise as he took off his sunglasses.

“No. I guess she is just here by the beach to walk around and relax!”

Alice replied with some dissatisfaction.

“Oh! Then, beauty, why don’t you get on my cruise ship together with us then? We can have a cruise dinner party together!”

Mr. Yan suddenly bowed slightly before Mila as he extended a very gentlemanly invitation to her.

“No thanks!”

Mila only responded coldly with two words when she was faced with Mr. Yan’s enthusiastic invitation.

This made the expression on Mr. Yan’s face turn very ugly in an instant.

No girl had ever rejected him ever since he was a child.

Moreover, he was getting rejected publicly at this time.

“Beauty, I am afraid that you still do not know who I am, right?”

Mr. Yan could not help but shook his head as he smiled wryly.

He did not extend his invitation to her again.

“Mr. Yan, she already has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is none other than Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City!”

One of the girls who was standing aside suddenly spoke up.

“Oh! It’s no wonder then!”

Mr. Yan smiled bitterly before he said, “However, even though he is a wealthy and influential man in Mayberry City, his influence and presence is only known there. Since you refuse to join us, I am sorry

then! Alice, let’s go. I will bring all of you out to enjoy the sea breeze at night!”

Mr. Yan said as he looked at Alice.

At this moment, Alice smiled as she nodded.

On one hand, she was looking at Mila with a somewhat arrogant expression on her face.

It seemed as though she was trying to say, “So what if the man who abandoned me is finally a very capable and influential man? I can always find a man with even better qualities and abilities to pursue me!”

And you, Mila, would always lose out to me even though you are a goddess that even girls would always admire.

“Ahhh! Alice, look at that…that…what is that?”

At this time, the girls suddenly squealed again. However, this time, it was no longer out of excitement, but shock instead!

 

Chapter 683

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 683 The group of people was all surprised by the sound. When they looked up, they saw about a dozen of the top and most luxurious cruise ships appearing on the surface of the sea in the dim night.

Why was it the top and most luxurious?

This was because when they saw Mr. Yan’s cruise ship, they already thought that it was the most luxurious cruise ship that they had ever seen. However, looking at the dozens of cruise ships on the sea now, it seemed as though those cruise ships were all as dazzling and incredible as a galaxy battleship!

It was an extraordinary scene.

“Oh my god! How much would one of those cruise ships cost?”

The girls could not help but squeal in excitement.

Even Mila was taken aback at this time.

Mr. Yan was even more shocked and stunned. He was in a complete daze.

“Mr. Yan, are all of those cruise ships for the Cruise Ship Festival tonight? We are really very excited now!”

The girl asked Mr. Yan as she grabbed his arm excitedly.

That’s right. After all, only those really wealthy and influential businessmen and celebrities would usually be eligible to participate in the Cruise Ship Festival.

Any ordinary person could only watch this kind of event on television.

However, these girls really did not expect to see this kind of big scene when they were simply participating in the Cruise Ship Festival for the first time.

Alice also turned pale in excitement.

“No…no, these cruise ships were all designed by the world’s top experts and professionals. These cruise ships must be from Tiescol Island. Each and every single one of these cruise ships is priceless!” Mr. Yan replied enthusiastically.

After all, even though Mr. Yan was very knowledgeable and had already seen much of the world, this was the first time that he was actually witnessing a scene like this.

“Ahhh? Mr. Yan, what is this Tiescol Island that you are talking about?”

The girls asked as they have never heard of it before.

“Tiescol Island is a small island on the sea. I only heard this from my dad. There is an absolutely wealthy and world-class person who bought the entire island. That person built up the entire island and turned it into a place that seemed like a majestic palace on the sea. In short, the entire island was simply very luxurious and grand!”

“Ahhh? We have never heard of that before! Is there really such a big and grand house? What does it look like? Mr. Yan, can you bring us there to take a look at it?”

All the girls asked in anticipation.

Mr. Yan shook his head before he said, “I am afraid that would be impossible. To be honest, my dad was lucky enough to have seen it once. However, he could only stay on the island for less than a few minutes. He was not even allowed to take any pictures of it at all. However, my dad said that this short few minutes on that island was totally worth it in this lifetime. Therefore, I am also very surprised. After all, what is my dad’s identity? He was actually seriously in awe and he was filled with praise for that place!”

After Mr. Yan said that, everyone was filled with even more exhilaration and expectations.

Alice even thought to herself that it would simply be perfect if they could be lucky enough to see that island for themselves.

It was a pity.

“But don’t be so discouraged. Girls, I will try to bring you there later so that we can take a look at the scenery of the island. However, we can only look at it from a far distance!” Mr. Yan said with a wry smile on his face.

“That’s great!”

The girls were all very excited.

At this time, the top and most luxurious cruise ships had already arrived.

Mr. Yan, Alice, and the rest of the girls did not dare to continue speaking loudly anymore and they simply stepped to the side.

“Oh my god! Just take a look at the staff working on the Tiescol Island cruise ships! All of them are wearing extremely expensive clothes!”

“Of course, their clothes are expensive!”

“Damn it! I would be willing to just work as an employee on one of those cruise ships too!”

One of the girls could not help but say.

“Sure enough, there will always be people who are even greater and better than us in this world. Before this, I thought that Gerald was the best and most outstanding person. I only realized that I was wrong when I met Mr. Yan and I opened my eyes to a brand-new world. Now, I have encountered an even greater and more outstanding world today!”

Alice secretly thought the same with a very envious look in her eyes.

As for Mila, she was also clearly in shock. She also took a step backward as she stood at the side.

The cruise ship soon arrived.

There were more than twenty waitresses who came down from the cruise ship successively. They stood on both sides of the port. These waitresses were all dressed in a manner and style that were somewhat similar to those of the European aristocrats in the last century.

After that, a middle-aged man walked out of the cruise ship.

“Ahhh? They seem to be walking towards us!” The girls screamed in delight.

Alice on the other hand, also held her breath at this moment.

 

Chapter 684

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 684 After that, the middle-aged man walked past them directly.

After that, he came before the surprised Mila in a very respectful manner.

“Miss Mila, the eldest young lady sent me here to pick you up!”

The middle-aged man bowed very deeply and he was very polite to Mila. He naturally knew how Mila looked like and where she was waiting at this time.

“Pick…pick me up?”

Mila looked at the dozens of cruise ships that were docking and she was seriously stunned.

Gerald’s sister Jessica, was really rich!

“Of course, Miss Mila. We came here to specially pick you up today. I am really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time!”

As soon as she heard the steward’s words, the girl who was mocking Mila before this was so stunned that her mouth was hanging wide open!

She had been mocking her and making fun of her just now. As a result, she simply did not care about the Cruise Ship Festival at all.

Mr. Yan finally understood that it was no wonder why Mila was so cold and indifferent towards him earlier. He instantly understood the gap between him and Mr. Crawford at this time. He could not help

but feel a little foolish for even attempting to show off in front of Mila just now.

As for Alice, she was naturally in disbelief.

“You…why are you picking her up and why are you using such a luxurious entourage to pick her up?”

Alice was really feeling very anxious at this time.

Regardless of whether Mila was her love rival or just an imaginary enemy, no one would ever want their enemy to be so much stronger compared to themselves.

Furthermore, at this time, Mila was so strong to the point that it was already completely incomparable.

This would affect a person’s mood directly. This was exactly what Alice was feeling at this moment.

Who was Mila? She was her own love rival, and she was her ex-boyfriend’s current girlfriend.

However, she was actually receiving this kind of exclusive treatment now.

She was obviously feeling very jealous and envious.

Therefore, she could not help but asked the steward this question directly.

“Haha! This is our young master, Mr. Crawford’s girlfriend. So, we naturally have to give her the best and most extraordinary treatment!”

As for the steward, he only answered Alice’s questions because he thought that they were all Mila’s friends.

Boom!

Alice was in shock and her face turned pale in an instant.

The thing that she really did not want to hear and the thing that she feared the most finally happened.

She did not even feel so anxious or excited just now.

The reason why she was so eager to confirm these facts with the steward was because she had been wondering whether Mila was receiving this kind of treatment because of Gerald.

After all, Mila’s family was not that incredible.

However, what should she do if it was really because of Gerald then? What should she do then? Ahhh!

Alice felt as though she was going insane.

“Is the Mr. Crawford that you are talking about, Gerald Crawford? You are all so powerful, so why are you giving that Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City so much face? Why?!”

Alice was acting a little hysterically at this time.

“That’s right, miss. Mr. Crawford is none other than our young master, Mr. Gerald Crawford. This island was bought by Mr. Crawford’s elder sister as a place for her to take a short break and vacation!”

The steward replied once again.

“Ahhh! What?”

“Gerald’s elder sister is that very powerful world class person?! Does that mean that Gerald can also live on that island if he wanted to then?”

Alice asked and her eyes were red at this time.

“That’s right. However, if Mr. Crawford really wanted to live on an island, he could just buy another island of his own. Anyway, that small amount of money would not even be worth a single penny to Mr. Crawford!”

“What?!!!”

At this time, the five girls who were standing in a row had their mouths wide open in shock.

As for Alice, she felt as though she was already out of breath. She felt that she would only be able to completely rid herself of this feeling by jumping into the sea and drowning herself to death.

It turned out that Gerald’s identity was not simply Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City…

 

 

Chapter 685

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 685 They watched Mila leave.

The girls had already stopped talking. Aside from feeling very envious, there was also a hint of jealousy in their eyes.

Only Alice had a very complicated mood at this time.

If only she had just focused on a person’s character from the very beginning.

If that was the case, she would have chosen to get into a relationship with Gerald back then.

After all, she had never been in love before at that time. She wanted to get into a relationship. That was the reason why she had asked Naomi to introduce a guy to her.

Naomi even called her the night before her birthday just to talk to her about Gerald.

“Alice, just meet him. He will also come for my birthday party tomorrow. How do I put this? He is a very dedicated and loyal person. He is also very handsome. After all, this will be your first time falling in love. Therefore, you should look for an honest and good man so that you can keep him under control! If that is the case, then Gerald will certainly be the best candidate! He will definitely treat you very well!”

“Pfft! Alright then. Since you already said such good things about him, then I will just meet him tomorrow then! Hehe!”

At this time, Alice was actually looking forward to it. In fact, she even felt that it would not be an issue if Gerald were poor.

However, after meeting them and after hearing all the embarrassing things that Danny had been saying about Gerald, Alice could not stop herself from despising and looking down on Gerald.

She felt that even if she had to find a boyfriend, it would probably be better for her to find a wealthier boyfriend then.

Alice’s view and perception of love began to change a little from that moment.

Therefore, she really could have gotten together with Gerald back then.

And everything that belonged to Mila now would have been hers then.

Money would just be a set of numbers to her in future. It would have lost all meaning. She would not even need to save up any money to be able to buy any luxury goods in future.

But…it was a pity that there were no buts!

It was already too late.

Alice clenched her fists tightly and she felt very dissatisfied deep inside.

“Alice, they have already left. So, why don’t we leave now too?”

The few girls have already lost their interest to get on the cruise ship.

Otherwise, should they really get on the cruise ship, just so that they could see what other people’s island looked like?

Hahaha! That was Gerald’s elder sister’s island but she could only look at it from the sidelines.

She could not help but feel a little useless as she thought about it.

“I will not resign to fate!”

Alice looked at the cruise ships that were disappearing into the night as she reminded herself secretly.

At this time, Mila had already landed on the island.

The entire island was just as luxurious and grand as Mr. Yan made it out to be. It looked like an extremely large and luxurious palace.

It was so beautiful and shocking!

She had already entered the estate but she would need to need to ride on a special car to get to where Jessica was.

It took about a thirty minutes ride before Mila finally arrived at a villa in the estate.

After that, she stepped out of the car.

“Hurry up and let me have a look! I want to see what my sister-in-law looks like! I want to see her!”

“What’s the hurry? She will already be coming here soon.”

When Mila stepped out of the car, she saw a girl fighting with a boy.

The girl was trying to snatch a cell phone from the boy.

That boy was a chubby person and Mila had already met him before. He was none other than Yoel.

“Oh! Sister-in-law is here!”

When Yoel saw Mila, he hurriedly ran over to her.

After all, everything that happened during the day had really scared Yoel to death.

“Mm! Yes!”
