Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 813
“Do you personally know Mr. Fairwell, cousin?” asked Bea as she looked at Gerald who had remained silent
throughout their journey home.
She had found it strange that Mr. Fairwell had personally come all the way here just to give her a car without any
good reason. The fact that not many people actually knew about her true identity also made the situation much
more suspicious.
To top it off, Gerald had just asked for her identity card number this morning! Sensing how respectful Mr. Fairwell
had treated her cousin earlier, Bea felt that something was definitely up with Gerald.
“Not at all!” replied Gerald as he shook his head. It wasn’t a lie either since this was truly the first time both of them
had met.
“Then why would he come all the way out here just to hand me a car? Are you sure it isn’t because of any of the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtconnections you know?”
Naturally, Bea wasn’t looking down on Gerald. However, she knew that his family’s situation wasn’t any better
compared to her own. Or that’s what she thought at least.
“I wonder…” replied Gerald with a faint smile on his face.
Smacking her lips, Bea ended up smiling as well. Somehow, the more she observed him, the more mysterious he
felt.
It was around noon when Bea walked out of her room before asking, “Say cousin, the gathering is going to be held
tonight. Will you be coming along?”
At the time, Gerald was still thinking of how he was going to visit his grandmother. Hearing Bea’s question, he
turned to look at his cousin—who now had a different set of clothes on—before replying, “Is it the one we were
talking about earlier?”
Just a while ago, Bea had told Gerald about a tradition the younger generation of the Yalemans usually did when
their grandmother’s birthday was close. A yearly gathering would be held so that they could discuss what birthday
gifts to buy for Lady Yaleman.
While that was what they usually agreed on, in the end, all of them just wanted an excuse to go out and have fun.
Though Gerald didn’t really have any interest in attending gatherings or parties, he knew that he still needed to get
to know his other cousins a little better in order to smoothen the process of resolving the grievances between his
mother and grandmother.
Finalizing his thoughts, he then nodded before saying, “Alright, I’m in!”
A little while later, a group of attractive men and women could be seen sitting inside the most luxurious bar in
Yanken. All of them looked to be around the age of twenty.
“Hey, hey, have you heard that our country bumpkin of a cousin has returned to Yanken? He’s currently staying at
Bea’s place!”
“What? Are you serious? My parents didn’t mention anything about this! Still, grandma’s birthday is approaching
soon. Do you think he’s actually come back this time to celebrate her eightieth birthday? Hasn’t she already cut all
ties with their family?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hah! I think he’s only using the birthday as an excuse! He’s probably trying his best to worm himself back into our
family! After all, once her birthday celebration is over, she’ll begin allocating all the family assets and resources! His
return is simply too timely to be a coincidence!” replied one of the boys contemptuously.
“Regardless of his timing, if that’s what he’s really after, his chances are exceedingly slim. You should have heard
grandma scolding Fifth aunt earlier once she found out that our cousin was staying at her place! It was terrible!
Grandma’s anger doesn’t seem to have subsided at all!” said another girl.
“Speaking of which, his name is Gerald, if I recall correctly. From what I heard, at his poorest, he could barely even
afford to eat! I remember clearly what grandma had said when she found out about that back then. She had said to
let them be before stating that nobody from the family was allowed to get involved with them at all!”
“Well yes, but that was a long time ago! Think about more recent times! Don’t you remember that grandma
actually asked about how Jessica and Gerald were doing during her birthday celebration last year?”
“She did! She asked how they were both doing! Though we didn’t know what his sister was doing, someone said
that the country bumpkin himself was studying in university!”
As everyone continued discussing the matter among themselves, the private room’s door opened and in stepped a
young man accompanied by two girls.
“Ah, you’re here, Yura!”
