Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1241
“Gerald? Are you full already?” asked Noelle as she attempted to stop him from leaving.
The subsequent birthday party was extremely hasty if anything, mainly due to what happened a while back. Even
so, nobody dared to speak up any longer, especially Gracie who had remained obediently quiet this entire time.
“Indeed I am!”
“I see… By the way, Gerald, my mom wanted me to ask you what you did for a living…” asked Noelle in a soft tone,
though it was evident that she was curious about that as well.
After all, everyone had seen how Chairman Wadder treated Gerald earlier.
“Me? Good question! I wonder what I do for a living myself!”
Hearing that, Noelle simply replied with a laugh. Gerald was getting more and more mysterious by the second…
“Actually… Could… it be that you’re the legendary and mysterious Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City…?” asked
Noelle again, her voice gentle.
By that point, Gracie and the others had gathered behind Noelle. All of them were holding onto their breaths as

Gerald himself simply shook his head with a wry smile on his face before replying, “Is it important whether I’m him
or not? To be quite frank, there’s something I’ve needed your help with for some time now, Noelle… I wonder if you
see me as a friend enough to willingly lend me a hand…”
His eyes were serious as he stared at Noelle while asking that question.
After observing how she kept looking at him for a while, Gerald could discern that her feelings toward him seemed
to be different from before. They felt much more sincere.
With that in mind, Gerald felt that it was finally a suitable time to ask that question. He was honestly also slightly
worried that if he allowed those feelings to continue developing beyond this point, he would inevitably end up
hurting her.
“Also, regarding the crisis the Shadwells are currently facing… Let’s just say that you’ll be receiving the funding you
require before long. Once that happens, you won’t be bogged down by too many worries and all of you will be able
to do as you please again!” added Gerald.
Upon hearing that, Gracie and the others immediately took in a deep breath.
If Gerald had said the same thing about an hour ago, then Gracie would’ve certainly assumed that his statement
was fake. Now, however, she knew that every word he said was entirely true.
“But of course I treat you as a friend! In fact, I’ve considered you to be my best friend ever since you saved me
from that kidnapping attempt! A best friend that has quite a bit of secrets… Regardless, now that you’ve even
helped my family, I truly wish to repay my gratitude to you! What help do you need? I’d gladly lend a hand!” replied
Noelle, resolution in her tone.
While she had been grateful toward Gerald for a while now, Noelle hadn’t really seen him as anything more than a
good friend. After spending more time around him, however, she was now seeing a different side to Gerald. Not
only was he shrouded by mystery, but he was also surrounded by a strong aura. Deeply intrigued by these two
attributes, it made her realize that she was starting to get attracted to him…
With that in mind, as long as she could make Gerald happy by helping him, she’d certainly attempt to do whatever
he asked for.
Upon seeing how willing and sincere Noelle’s reply had been, Gerald immediately grew excited though he didn’t
show it.

“What is it?”
“Once I help you, I’d like you to tell me your true identity… I don’t want you to hide it from me anymore! Is that
acceptable…?” asked Noelle as she looked at Gerald with a smile.
“Deal!” replied Gerald extremely straightforwardly.
The second Gerald said that he required a drop of fresh blood from Noelle’s finger, Noelle, Gracie, and the others
were exceedingly confused and doubtful about his request. Nevertheless, it wasn’t that big a deal so Noelle simply
handed him a drop of invigorating blood…
With that done, that meant that Gerald had to keep his side of the promise. Noticing that everyone was extremely
eager to see how he was going to explain the incident earlier, Gerald wasn’t about to shamelessly break his
promise.
After laughing bitterly for a while, he fished around in his pocket before taking out a tiny device. Upon pressing it,
two tiny ‘beeps’ could be heard.
All was silent for a while… Until seconds later, droning could be heard coming from atop the building! Was… Was
that a helicopter…?
Their question was answered shortly after when true enough, a helicopter began taking off from the top of the
building!
