Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 572
Willie had always thought that Gerald was nothing more than a mere acquaintance. He had never thought that
Gerald would ever make it this far. Due to that, he had always looked down upon him. In the past, Willie had even
tried his best to avoid him, just to prevent Gerald from asking him for help.
Now however, all these famous figures were calling him Mr. Crawford. The mysterious Mr. Crawford of Mayberry
turned out to be Gerald this entire time!
This fact was…
Willie gulped hard. His mind was blank and the realization of the situation was akin to a massive slap to his face. He
was so shocked that the corner of his mouth was even twitching.
Leila herself was covering her mouth with both her hands, equally as shocked as her father.
It wasn’t any different for the Winters who all looked shocked to their cores.
However, it was Waxham’s two daughters who had it the worst. It had never occurred to them that Gerald would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtever be the actual Mr. Crawford.
No wonder he was so rich! What was the meaning of all this?!
“A-ah! Mr. Crawford! You’re so good looking!” yelled a few girls toward him.
Gerald simply ignored the shouts of flattery before turning to Lolita, Mr., and Mrs. Winters who were still stunned at
the revelation. With a smile on his face, he then said, “I told you I had a table reserved for us. Now let’s go!”
After that, he pulled Lolita by the hand and slowly guided the two Winters forward with his other arm. The four of
them then walked out of the crowd together. Lolita found herself gulping once again, still within her state of utter
shock.
When they got closer, Yoel, Aiden, and several other rich heirs came forward to welcome them.
“I’ll lead the way, mister!” said Aiden with a smile as he held Mr. Winters by the arm. Gerald simply followed behind
them.
As Michelle watched Gerald walk past her, she was instantly reminded of the blind date event just a few days ago.
“Sis, I don’t want to meet up with that poor freak! Could you go in my place and reject him?” said Michelle.
“Yeah, my baby wouldn’t marry him even if he was the last man alive! Who does he think he is? Does he really think
he can provide for my little Elle? Think again, freak!”
This time it was Michelle’s mother who spoke, for she too was reminded of the blind date.
Despite saying that, the truth was that the two were now engulfed by both regret and embarrassment.
The same applied for the rest of the Winters, who were equally as embarrassed.
“Hey guys, tomorrow’s my birthday! If you’re free, would you like to have dinner with me? There won’t be a lot of
people!” At that moment, all of the Winters were replaying Gerald’s invitation to them in their minds. He had even
invited them with a welcoming smile the day before. But what had they said?
“We’re busy. Who has the time to celebrate your birthday?”
“I know right? Don’t go copying others and hosting birthday parties! Just look at you, can you even afford a birthday
celebration?”
“We don’t have the time and energy to go to your pity party. Fran has work to do too!”
“…”
Gerald had tried to invite them twice, and now, all of them had mixed emotions brewing within them.
At that moment, Queeny’s phone dropped to the ground. She had constantly been worried that Gerald would
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmeventually become better than her. Now, her worst nightmare had come to life before her very eyes.
No wonder Gerald was able to have everyone here cling to him. Even that Wadford guy from the day before had
treated him with utmost respect! And it was now clear why Gerald had invited her grandparents to specifically
celebrate his birthday here. Gerald was Mr. Crawford this entire time!
Willie himself was staring at him with hope in his eyes as Gerald walked past. Maybe there would still be a chance
that Gerald would acknowledge his presence. Maybe Gerald would even wave at him.
All these years, both the Winters and Gerald had been the nicest to him. He had always wondered why the Dream
Investment Group funded him when his project was facing difficulties. As it turned out, Gerald had always been
looking out for him.
He had used to call him Uncle Jung as well, back when they were still a bit closer. Willie knew that it was his own
fault for slowly distancing himself from Gerald. He was now regretting everything that he had done, and he wished
that he could rewind time to start fresh with Gerald. However, he knew that that wasn’t going to happen, so all he
could do was look toward the floor, filled with embarrassment.
“Holy! Look over there! What car is that?”
At that moment, a number of girls screamed as they pointed toward the entrance. They were secretly hoping that
their voices would catch Gerald’s attention as well.
As Gerald turned to see what they were pointing at, everyone was already in total shock. An extremely luxurious
looking sports car was slowly heading toward the entrance!
