Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1198

“You don’t have to look far, Mr. Lyle! For that person is among us! He’s the impersonator!” declared Xyon as he

pointed at Gerald.

Before Chairman Lyle could even turn to look, Abner and his girlfriend quickly ran over—clearly intending to show

off—as they added, “Indeed, Chairman Lyle! You know he tried to trick everyone into believing that the real Mr.

Crawford had invited Cundrie to Mountain Top Villa earlier! I assure you that everyone here can testify to my

statement!”

“What a b*stard!” roared Chairman Lyle as he immediately turned to look at where Xyon was pointing.

Holding their breaths, everyone was ready to see Chairman Lyle flip out… However, they were instead greeted by

the shocking sight of him trembling in place!

He wasn’t the only one either. All the other Crawford bodyguards were equally as stupefied as Mr. Lyle was.

“I-It’s not his fault! I was the one who had told him to impersonate Mr. Crawford! If there’s anyone that needs to be

punished, it’s me! He was only following my orders!” shouted Cundrie as she gritted her teeth.

Hearing that, Mrs. Smith’s anxiety peaked. They were already placing the blame on someone else! Why was her

stupid daughter stepping up to take the blame instead?!

“Have you gone mad, Cundrie? Why are you even speaking up for this ugly toad?!” asked Mrs. Smith, her immense

unease evident in her tone.

“I haven’t! I only speak the truth! Since I was the one who told him to do all that, then I should bear the

responsibility!” replied Cundrie.

Before Mrs. Smith could retort, she suddenly heard Mr. Lyle shouting with great difficulty, “M… Mister Crawford…!”

Turning to look at him, everyone was shocked to see him filled with tears as the middle-aged man trembled

vigorously.

Following that, the other bodyguards bowed deeply before shouting in unison, “Mr. Crawford! We stand before you

with the utmost respect!”

The shout itself was so loud that it almost felt like the entire structure swayed for a moment there, leaving

everyone completely flabbergasted.

While the Snyder father and son found themselves widening their eyes, the father and son from the Gross family—

who had been laughing cunningly just seconds ago—on the other hand, found themselves unable to even close

their jaws in their utter disbelief. In fact, they were gaping so widely that one could stuff an egg in there without any

issue.

‘…Mister… Crawford…? We… We must’ve heard that wrongly… right?’

As the atmosphere grew rigid, Gerald simply replied, “It’s been quite a while since we’ve last met, Zack!”

He truly hadn’t expected Zack to be the special guest they had invited over.

Regardless, Zack was extremely loyal to him, and had it not been for him trying his best to save Gerald back then,

Gerald probably wouldn’t have been able to escape the Salford Province in the first place.

With that in mind, not long after Gerald reunited with his family, he had given Zack a lot of power and authority

without the slightest hesitation. However, since he was still busy dealing with the Moldells back then and he barely

had to deal with business affairs, both Gerald and Zack found little to no reason for them to meet till today.

“Indeed it has, Mr. Crawford! You have no idea how excited I am to finally meet you again!” replied Zack with a

broad smile.

Cundrie, Riley, and Mr. Smith were now in a daze, unable to simply accept that the person they had previously

labeled as a beggar was actually the infamous Mr. Crawford!

“A-are… Are you truly the real Mr. Crawford…?” asked Cundrie as she gulped.

Turning to look at her, Gerald then smiled before nodding slightly and replying, “I am, which is why my early

officiation of that invitation card is a hundred percent real. Again, if you’re free, I hope that you’ll come to Mountain

Top Villa in Mayberry to have some fun! The scenery up there isn’t bad, you know?”

Before Cundrie could even reply, Noel immediately fell to his knees and said, “I… I apologize for not being an

insightful person, Mr. Crawford! To think I failed to recognize who you were, even after repeatedly asking you about

it earlier… I hope you’ll forgive me!”

Being a smart man, Noel naturally knew that apologizing was his best course of action now. While the Gross father

and son were naturally thinking the same thing, they didn’t even know how to start apologizing after all they did to

him!

‘It… It’s over… The Gross family is truly ruined this time…!’ Xyon thought to himself as he felt a familiar dampness

in his pants again.

“Speaking of which, Zack, this family over here is extremely evil! Do get rid of them for me by making them go

bankrupt as soon as possible! Let them have a debt of over a hundred and fifty million dollars! With your current

influence, I’m sure it shouldn’t be too difficult for you!” said Gerald as he turned to look at Abner and the others

with a cold smile.

“Oh? Gladly!” replied Zack as he returned a cold smile.

Following that, Zack then turned to look at his subordinates before ordering, “Head out and investigate any

business partners that the Gross family has. Your task will be to cut off their relationships with the Gross’s! Should

any of the business partners be unwilling to do so, then just make them bankrupt as well!”

“Right away, Mr. Lyle!” shouted the bodyguards as they hurriedly ran off to carry out their new task.

So this was how powerful the Crawford family was!

After looking at how respectfully Zack treated Gerald, nobody dared to doubt the authenticity of Gerald’s true

identity anymore.

Everyone found themselves holding their breaths, as Gerald turned to look at the Gross family before saying, “You

enjoy building your happiness over others’ misfortunes, do you not? Well, I’m glad to tell you that the same goes for

me as well! I’m honestly overjoyed to see how much suffering you’re currently going through!”
