Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 815
“Serene County? Hahaha! That’s him alright!” said someone from the crowd as the rest of them laughed.
“Oh god, for real? Gerald the pauper’s actually your relative?” replied Marilyn, her shock apparent on her face.
“Sadly, legally, it’s true. However, the Yalemans have and will never acknowledge Gerald as part of our family!” said
Yura with a wry smile on his face.
Giya herself didn’t really care what the others had to say about him. Instead, she was simply excited that he was
possibly coming!
“Will Gerald be coming later, Yura?” asked Giya.
In response, Yura nodded before saying, “I assume Bea’s bringing him over! Speak of the devil!”
As soon as his sentence ended, the door opened and Bea entered. Seeing that Gerald wasn’t present, Giya couldn’t

“Didn’t that bumpkin come along, Bea?” asked one of the girls there.
Since Bea was usually regarded as the lowest in rank within their family, nobody usually took her seriously. It was
the reason why they still called Gerald a ‘bumpkin’ even though he was Bea’s guest.
“Oh, he’s gone to the gents. He’ll be here soon!” replied Bea.
In all honesty, she didn’t really enjoy participating in such gatherings. After all, the gap between her and her other
cousins was simply too wide. She was barely in the same world as they were. She was only here because she didn’t
have a choice.
“Hah! Hilarious! He’s probably feeling nervous since it’s the first time he’s attending a gathering at such a high-end
venue!” said a few girls as they cupped their mouths while laughing.
Hearing that, everyone else started laughing as well. It was at that moment when the room’s door creaked open
again.
However, instead of the country bumpkin they were expecting, they were greeted by a tall, young man who looked
rather slim and was honestly quite handsome. He was dressed casually and his hands were in his pockets as he
walked into the room.
Everyone was now silent and even a few of the girls were exchanging glances with each other, dumbfounded by
the attractive man’s extraordinary temperament.
“Over here, cousin! Have a seat!” said Bea with a smile as she held onto his arm.
“He’s… He’s our country bumpkin of a cousin?”
Several of the girls were now paralyzed in shock. They had expected Gerald—who, as a child, was very poor and
had terrible self-esteem—to have a low and dampened image! To be a person who would look worried and behave
cautiously wherever he went!
Yet the dashing young man standing before them now was anything but!
Just as Gerald was about to greet his shocked cousins, someone suddenly hit him on the back of his head!

right?” said Marilyn as she cackled. Naturally, she was the one who had hit him.
“God d*mn it! ….It’s you?” replied Gerald, shocked when he saw the familiar face.
Truth be told, however, he couldn’t really remember who she was for the life of him.
“What, have you forgotten about me already?” asked Marilyn as she crossed her arms. She seemed to find the
entire situation hilarious.
“…Yes I do,” lied Gerald as naturally as he breathed.
The memories were, however, slowly coming back to him. He knew that they used to be in the same class, but he
couldn’t remember her name at all.
“Regardless, I really hadn’t expected to see you here of all places after not meeting for such a long time! While are
you still walking with your hands in your pockets? While your pretentiousness may fool others, I know your
background extremely well, so drop the act already!” said Marilyn.
Hearing that, Gerald could only smile bitterly as he took his hands out of his pockets while shaking his head.
The bitterness allowed him to recall her name. She was Marilyn and they had once been classmates for about half
a year.
