Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 604
The door swung open and in rushed ten security guards, each armed with an electric baton. They had finally
managed to track down the old man with the help of the surveillance footage.
“You old b*stard! There you are!”
The guards then immediately surrounded him.
“Apologies Mr. Crawford! This old man sneaked into the lobby after his bath when we weren’t paying attention to
him! He apparently heard your room number from the female receptionist then he ruined all the machines needed
to get up here! Apologies again, Mr. Crawford! We’ll beat him up then kick him out, right this instant!”
Gerald didn’t know how to respond at that moment. Everything about that old man just made him feel uneasy.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began to ring. It was a call from Queta.
Gerald had earlier sent a Line message to her regarding all the new things he had discovered. She must have just
read it.
Glancing at the old man again, Gerald then answered the call.

“I have… What should I do now, Gerald? Will I… Will I really be able to find my mother?” asked Queta anxiously.
“Yes, and don’t worry. I’m looking for her too. Just wait for a few more days for me to resolve all the things I
currently have on hand. Once I’m done, I’ll go there with you! I’d honestly be worried if you went to the Salford
Province alone!” replied Gerald with a faint smile.
“Sounds good! I’m feeling much more assured now!”
After a brief chat, Gerald hung up. Seeing that he had ended his call, the guards were just about to drag the old
man out when the old man suddenly began shouting, “Salford Province? My grandson, I want to go there too!
That’s my hometown! Being me along, my grandson!”
With a little struggling, the old man managed to break himself free from the grasps of the security guards. He then
rushed toward Gerald before begging again.
“That’s my hometown! My grandson, could you take me home?”
Gerald scanned the man from head to toe after hearing his pleas. The old man looked like he was quite eager to go
there. He seemed to be quite agitated as well.
As Gerald thought about it, he realized that he didn’t really have too bad an impression of that old man. He was just
annoyed by how shameful and dastardly he was.
“Fine, I’ll get someone to send you there!”
“I heard what you said through the phone earlier. It seems like you and another young girl want to look for
someone in the Salford Province! I’m quite familiar with the place, so I can definitely help you find that person!
You’ve already helped me so much so I’ll definitely lend a hand in this!” said the old man.
Hearing this, Gerald felt as though the old man had finally said something sensible for once.
“As if Mr. Crawford would ever need your help! Get lost!” roared one of the security guards.
“Humph! Just ask him about my information reliability! If I didn’t tell him where that young lass was, do you think he
would be able to find her that soon?”
“You!-”
“That’s enough. Just take him away… Get a room and some food for him. And find someone to send him back to
the Salford Province tomorrow!” said Gerald as he shook his head in resignation.
Though the old man had claimed that he wanted to help Gerald, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at the
thought.
After that, he retired for the night.

granddaughter, Melissa.
It was then when Gerald remembered Melissa’s invitation to the gathering that she had organized.
Since he wasn’t that close with Melissa, he immediately tried thinking up an excuse to reject her.
“Hello, Gerald! From the moment you agreed to attend my gathering, my grandpa’s been quite happy! He’s even
told me to serve you well!” said Melissa through the phone.
It was now getting increasingly awkward for Gerald. Mr. Weyham had been there when he agreed so of course he
knew about it. What more, Melissa was quite a sincere girl which made it even harder for him to reject her.
He eventually gave up and said that he would come soon.
Not too long after, he arrived at the gathering place in his car. He had made up his mind that he would leave after
staying for just a short while.
The venue in question was the Mayberry Grand Hotel.
When he got to the door, Melissa was already there waiting for him.
Beside her stood a mature and rather sexy lady who seemed to be in her thirties. Her hair reached all the way
down to her waist and she seemed to be quite slim as well. Overall, she looked like a woman with a good
disposition.
