Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 842
Yura had asked that question in his sheer disbelief.
“That’s right! To think that she had even claimed that it was because of Gerald’s connections… How does he even
know such high ranked people? How is any of this possible?” grumbled Ysabel enviously.
After being humiliated like that, they were sure that everyone was now looking at the two families with mocking
gazes.
Rose herself was now thinking of how Gerald had withdrawn a million dollars just the day before. She also recalled
what Yura had told her about Gerald’s clothes.
Adding that to the fact that she had now seen, with her very own eyes, that Gerald had the capability to pull strings
from within the Trustdeck group, she was extremely certain that he was no ordinary person.
“Hold on a minute!” interrupted Rose while Ysabel and her mother were still exchanging envious words in their
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtannoyance.
“Could it be that we’ve not investigated Gerald’s background thoroughly enough? Is he actually not a pauper at all?
How else could he have such extravagance? That would explain why he has so many powerful connections as well!”
said Rose in a serious tone.
Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent. After all, nobody wanted to believe it. However, reluctant as they were, the
truth was evident.
“…I… I refuse to believe that! It simply isn’t possible!” declared Second aunt as she shook her head wildly.
“Indeed! We don’t believe that either!” added Yura and Ysabel simultaneously.
After that, Rose went silent for a while. Since she was so used to being slick, her ability to conceal her emotions was
so great that nobody could guess what she was thinking during her momentary pause.
Eventually, however, Rose cupped her hands over her mouth in shock as she realized something horrifying.
Seeing her reaction, even Yuma and Yura felt terrified.
“M-mom? What’s wrong?” asked Yura immediately.
“There’s no need to be so flustered, sister-in-law! Perhaps Gerald simply helped Chairman Zelly in the past! If that
truly happened, then the chairman could very well just be repaying the favor to Gerald! That possibility isn’t out of
the question, right?” suggested Second aunt.
Hearing that, Rose’s eyelids twitched as she shook her head before saying, “Have you forgotten about the present
Lady Yaleman received today? The one that cost a hundred and fifty million dollars?”
“You mean the present given by the mysterious Mr. Crawford…?”
The moment that name was mentioned, silence temporarily engulfed the room again.
“…That’s right… Mr. Crawford is definitely from the Crawford family and Gerald has that surname too… Could…
Could it be that Gerald’s actually Mr. Crawford? If he is, then everything makes a lot more sense now!”
The conjecture alone was sending chills down Rose’s spine.
While there wasn’t an immediate reply from anyone, everyone had unpleasant expressions on their faces.
“That’s… That’s simply impossible!” shouted Second aunt.
“For now, let’s refrain from making any more wild guesses, aunt. Instead, let’s just wait for Bea. She, for one,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdefinitely knows more about him than any of us here. Besides, if she fails to get the projects, everything will
become clear. Until then, we have no way of proving that Gerald is actually powerful,” added Ysabel.
“That’s true. Fine, we’ll just wait for Bea to return!”
It was about forty minutes later when Bea finally returned. This time, however, she had five document files in hand.
Her aunt and the others had been waiting for her at the door this entire time and once they saw the contracts, they
were so shocked that they immediately called out, “Bea!”
“You… You’ve signed all those?” asked Rose incredulously.
“I have! I now have five major projects from the Trustdeck group that spans from this year to the next!” replied Bea
excitedly.
‘Let’s see you try bullying me and my mother again from now on!’ Bea thought to herself.
After saying that, she immediately began walking away without even bothering to look at the astonished crowd.
“Stop right there!” shouted Rose.
“What do you want?”
“Humph! Don’t think you can act all smug just because you’ve gained a few projects! Regardless, I’d like to ask
about Gerald. How does he have so many strong connections? And how on earth did he even manage to get
acquainted with Chairman Zelly in the first place?”
