Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1193
However, Gerald chose not to defend himself, at least not yet.
After all, since both the father and son of the Gross family had openly made a false charge against him during such
an important occasion, Gerald had reason to believe that the injured children were currently under their control as
well.
With how quickly and efficiently they had managed to slander and frame him, Gerald could already tell that the
father and son were no strangers to using such vile tactics. The fact that they were able to manipulate the Snyders
to get rid of him for them only served to prove his point.
“Someone, drag him away and make sure to break all his limbs while you’re at it!” ordered Mr. Snyder in a frigid
tone.
Seconds later, over ten Snyder bodyguards stepped forward, prepared to deal with Gerald.

one to do such things!”
Riley was so sure about this since both she and Cundrie had seen how heroic Gerald had been yesterday when he
tried to attain justice. With that in mind, it just didn’t seem possible that he would actually steal or even hurt
children!
What more, in order to make things more convenient for them, Riley and Gerald had been sharing their locations
with each other from the previous day. As far as she knew, Gerald had been sitting in a Dominoes not too far away
from the large hotel for most of the time.
So how could their claims be true? The puzzled Riley was pretty sure that the vendors had gotten things wrong.
“…Hmm? You sound pretty certain about that, Miss Smith. Why is that?” asked Xyonn as he turned to look at her.
“Indeed, Riley. If you aren’t certain about your statement, you’d best not spout nonsense here!” added Snyder as
he, too, turned to look at the girl.
“What on earth are you doing, Riley?” asked Mrs. Smith anxiously.
She had already been asking Riley why she had allowed that loser to enter the hall earlier. While that was already
embarrassing enough, the humiliation she was now suffering was way worse.
Regardless, though Riley wanted to claim that she knew where Gerald had been the entire morning, she knew she
couldn’t just tell the others about the incident. Racking her brains, she then thought, and thought, until suddenly, an
idea dawned upon her.
“…Now who said I wasn’t certain? He definitely wouldn’t ever steal! Then again, I guess you have your doubts
because you still don’t know who he is or where he comes from. In fact, I’m pretty sure none of you even know why
he’s here today!” declared Riley.
Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent as they turned to face Riley.
“You see, he came all the way here today to deliver a unique invitation card to my elder sister. The card itself is
from a rich heir from Mayberry!” added Riley.
There was now dead silence among the crowd. After all, everyone there was well aware that they couldn’t offend
any rich heirs from Mayberry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Noel Snyder, the master of the Snyder family, took a step forward before saying in his deep voice,
“Haha! You said he came over to send a letter on behalf of a rich heir from Mayberry? He certainly doesn’t look like
a subordinate of any rich heir! I mean just look at his clothes! Even if we choose to believe that he’s truly here to
send a unique invitation card, who’s the rich heir who ordered him to send it?”
“Humph! His attire is ordinary since the rich heir who sent the invitation card over is an extremely mysterious
person from Mayberry who prefers keeping a low profile!”
After saying that, Riley placed both her hands on her waist before adding, “And the rich heir in question is Mr.
Crawford from Mayberry!”
The moment Riley was done dropping her bombshell, the crowd instantly burst into an uproar! Even the
international big shots—who were standing atop the high platform—couldn’t help but stare wide-eyed at Riley in
their sheer disbelief.
According to legends, Mr. Crawford owned about half of the world’s properties and fortune, making him a truly
mysterious and prestigious rich heir.
Since everyone from the business field had heard that name before, nobody even dared to slouch now.
A rich heir with the surname of Crawford who enjoyed keeping a low profile… There was no doubt about it. She
truly was referring to Mr. Crawford that everyone was thinking about.
With that in mind, nobody was able to maintain a cool head anymore…
