Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1118
“So tell me, Gerald, why did you come all the way out here? Could it be that you’re hoping to meet Master Ghost to have your love fortune read? They say his predictions are extremely accurate, you know!” said Yasmeen.

At that, Gerald simply shook his head.

He didn’t really have much to talk to her about, and through his attitude, Gerald hoped that Yasmeen would eventually get the hint and understand that he really didn’t want to continue chatting with her.

“I see… Well I certainly did! I hope he predicts nice things about my love life!” replied Yasmeen with a smile.

“Come again? Don’t you already have a husband?” said Gerald.

Though he didn’t show it, Gerald already knew why Yasmeen was treating him so differently compared to before. After all, he was no longer a ‘poor student’ in her eyes after displaying how rich he was back at the auction.

“And who told you that I’m married? Whoever you’re thinking of, that man definitely isn’t my husband! Regardless, since we’ve known each other since university, I’m sure you think that I’m the kind of woman who only focuses on money and status rather than feelings. I’ll say it right here and now that I’m actually the complete opposite of that! You know, women are extremely particular when it comes to their feelings… Even I long for love, and pure love at that!”

“…I see.”

“…Anyway, just so you know, I’ve always felt that you were a particularly nice person, even from our university days… You really give people a sense of security and warmth, you know? It’s something many women, including me, yearn for! Women aren’t just only looking for wealth and luxury all the time! Sometimes the best things in life for us can be exceedingly simple!” added Yasmeen as she smiled sweetly at Gerald.

Shaking his head in resignation, Gerald simply smiled bitterly before replying, “You’re only yearning for the ‘simple things’ now since you know I’m rich… If I remained as poor as I used to be then you wouldn’t be saying all that!”

By this point, Gerald had already heard other women saying similar things to him countless times. As a result, Yasmeen’s motive was clear as day to him.

In the past, he would’ve surely been too shy and embarrassed to retort to her. Now, however, he had grown way too tired of listening to the same fake compliments over and over again.

“You!-”

Yasmeen was now blushing slightly, feeling extremely awkward at the same time. She truly hadn’t expected Gerald to be this straightforward.

She was left even more flabbergasted when she saw him starting to walk off—with Wagner—without even bothering to say anything else to her!

“Today, the master will only be granting audience to a single acquaintance of his who comes from afar. For the rest of you, please descend the hill and come back next time,” replied one of the apprentices.

“Then what if I pay you to see him? I intend to meet him today to have my love life foretold!” asked Yasmeen—who had been walking by Gerald’s side for a while now—as she nudged Gerald’s arm slightly.

A look of disgust on his face, Gerald simply frowned before moving his arm away from hers.

‘Still… This Master Ghost is just a fortune teller, is he not…? To think that he’d put on such airs!’ Gerald thought to himself, slightly amused.

As Gerald was thinking to himself, another visitor said, “Mister, I truly have some urgent issues to talk to him about… Please state any conditions I could fulfill to meet him today!”

“There aren’t any. He simply refuses to meet anyone else today save for his acquaintance. Kindly leave, ladies and gentlemen….” replied the apprentice as he shook his head.

The moment his sentence ended, the church’s doors suddenly creaked open…
