Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1079
“I’ll be taking your silence as approval for me to chase after Xadrian then! I’ll start going after him starting tomorrow!” said Meredith.

“…Fine,” replied Giya in a soft tone.

Taking in a deep breath, she reminded herself again that Gerald was the person she was in love with. So what if Xadrian looked like him? In the end, he still wasn’t Gerald.

If Meredith truly liked Xadrian, then Giya knew she had no right to prevent her from pursuing her own happiness.

‘You can’t be so selfish, Giya!’ Giya thought, attempting to comfort herself.

Regardless, neither of the girls slept a wink that night due to how preoccupied they were with their own concerns.

Early the next morning, everyone was packing up—preparing to leave—when Meredith walked over to Gerald before saying, “Are you thirsty, Xadrian? I have some water with me if you want!”

Hearing that, Gerald’s first response was to take a peek at Giya through the corner of his eyes. Realizing that Giya herself was secretly staring at him, Gerald turned to look at Meredith, flashing a gentle smile before replying, “…Sure, why not? I am a little thirsty now!”

“Hehe… Since you were so focused on saving and protecting us last night, you probably haven’t gotten sufficient rest at all! So drink up to make sure you don’t get overly dehydrated as well!” said Meredith as she smiled back.

Taking a sip of the water, Gerald then said, “…Hmm? Why’s the water sweet…?”

“…Huh? Sweet? How could that be?” replied Meredith, surprised. However, she quickly caught on to what he was implying.

Once she did, she couldn’t help but blush as she added, “Oh, come on, Xadrian! Now you’re just teasing me!”

As the two of them continued bickering playfully, Giya—who was still standing at the side—couldn’t help but clench her fists slightly. She wasn’t even sure what expression to make, evident by how she occasionally scrunched her face up.

In her mind, she wondered if she truly had been overthinking everything. Perhaps Meredith and Xadrian truly were a perfect match. Just by looking at them, she could tell how good they looked together!

Even after leaving the building, Giya saw that Gerald occasionally ended up chatting with Meredith as they continued on with their journey.

Now up close with the helicopter wreckage, everyone could see several of the vehicle’s parts scattered all over the place. Since any flames from the crash had long been put out, Gerald estimated that the incident had occurred in the early hours of yesterday.

“Look there! I think those are corpses!” yelled out Meredith as she pointed at a sand dune.

Hearing that, Gerald ran over to where Meredith was pointing at. All in all, Gerald found that there were four corpses lying around the initial crash site. That, however, wasn’t what caused Gerald’s eyelids to twitch after getting a good look at all four of them.

“Why are all of them wearing black robes…?”

“Could they be tomb robbers? You know, like the ones they usually show on film and television dramas…? Why else would they be dressed like this?”

As the others began discussing the current situation among themselves in between gulps filled with worry, nobody was able to notice the shock on Gerald’s face.

Checking for all four of the men’s breaths—just for double measure—Gerald confirmed that all four of them were dead as he thought to himself, ‘…How could this have happened…? Why are they even here in the first place…?’
