The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 659

Mila herself however, was equally as shocked as they were.

"H-how is this even possible? I didn't take it!"

"The evidence is here and everyone can clearly see it! How are you still trying to defend yourself? What a show!" said Hallie.

"Mila, I've always admired you but you've really disappointed me this time... If you really liked my ring, you could've just told me!" added Xyleena in disbelief.

"I... I really didn't take it! I didn't!" denied Mila as she continuously shook her head.

"She's telling the truth! Let me tell you, Hallie, Mila's boyfriend is the richest man in Mayberry! She could get anything she wanted! Why would she even need to steal someone else's ring?" said Molly. "Hahaha! Oh no... The richest man in Mayberry... I'm so scared!" replied Hallie as she laughed hysterically.

"Who cares about any of that! What's stolen is stolen. I'll definitely be bringing this up to the director tomorrow! Let's go! I can't believe that you're actually the director's favorite! There'll be a grand event at Hong Kong TV Station tomorrow and we'll listen to your explanation then!" added Hallie as she turned around and left while dragging Xyleena along.

As for Narissa, she only looked at Mila with a confused expression on her face. Eventually, she bit her lower lip before leaving as well.

"Mila? How is any of this possible? We believe that you'd never do such a thing, but who could've put that ring under your pillow? We were here the entire time!"

Since Mila's group was aware of who her boyfriend was, they knew for a fact that Mila would never steal anything. Even if they didn't know about Gerald's true identity, her friends would have still known her well enough to believe that Mila was innocent.

"I... I think I know who put it there... But I don't think she did it purposely!" said Mila, her eyes tearing up.

It was impossible for her not to know what was going on.

However, Mila simply didn't understand why Narissa would help Hallie sabotage her. After all, every time Hallie bullied her, Mila would be the first to stand up for her.

When Molly and her other friends finally realized who had committed the act, all of them-especially Molly and Wanda-were furious.

"D*mn it! I'm going to go look for her now! What an utter piece of trash!"

"Forget it, there's no use looking for her. If they're willing to trust Narissa to sabotage me, then Narissa will definitely never spill the truth out! This entire trap had been set up specifically for me! Even if she were to fail this time, Hallie will definitely try to set me up again the next time I participate in a competition together with her. She'll never let me off that easily!" said Mila as she sat on her bed, depressed. "Why don't you give Gerald a call? Hallie's a local and she has great connections. You won't be able to win a fight against her without his help! I mean, just look at her! To think that she was actually able to get Narissa to listen to her! She clearly wants you out of the competition! I'm certain she would leap for joy if she managed to send you back to Mayberry in the process!" replied Molly, her tone worried.

"I know, Molly. However, all of you don't have to worry about this anymore. She's just targeting me. I don't want to end up pulling the rest of you into this. I heard that someone great is coming to the station tomorrow, so all of you should get some rest and prepare while you can!" said Mila as she lay on her bed as soon as her sentence ended.

Though Mila seemed tough, she was still a girl at heart. Not only did she lack the proper connections to fend for herself, she even lacked a person who could take care of her there.

She missed Gerald terribly now. If only he was here, he would definitely be with her regardless of the situation. She only needed to tell him what had happened for him to instantly rush over to her.

At the moment, she really wanted to call Gerald and cry together with him. It wasn't an easy feat for a girl to live outside on her own.

However, before she could do so, she remembered what Giya had told her. If she only relied on Gerald every time something happened, then what good would she be to him other than being a pretty face? She felt that she needed to be a woman standing together with Gerald instead of just being a pretty flower for him to protect. Thus, she refrained from calling him.

This led to Mila having a sleepless night till it was almost dawn.

A grand event was going to be held at the station so they needed to prepare the function hall.

Those involved were the Hong Kong TV Station, the TV stations around the Southern Ocean, and some other television stations that collaborated under the Westons. All of them were under the same management group, and they were each equally powerful in the media industry.
