Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1099
“…Lyra? Ah…” said both Daryl and Dylan rather awkwardly.
Daryl himself now realized how uncharacteristically he had been behaving today, though it’s not like he could help
it. After all, he was fortunate enough to meet his great-granddaughter before participating in the pledge of the holy
water, an event which he knew he wouldn’t be able to return alive.
Since God had answered his prayers for a chance to meet Mable, one could easily imagine how excited Daryl had
been once he found out that the baby was his great-granddaughter.
Now that Lyra was here, however, he instantly felt ashamed. After all, Lyra was the legal daughter-in-law of the
Crawford family. From what he had heard, Lyra had even been the sole person who was in charge of all the
Crawford family’s affairs—regardless of whether they were major or minor—for a great number of years.

an increasingly awkward manner.
Hearing that, Lyra simply nodded silently.
As Daryl handed Mable to Dylan, he noticed that Lyra was holding onto a white scroll of sorts.
Reasserting his regular master-like attitude, he then asked, “So, why did you want to meet Gerald, Lyra?”
“Well, a few strange images appeared when I looked at the picture of the sun again a few days ago… Since Gerald
had tasked me with locating the woman in white, I feel that the picture of the sun may have given us new leads…”
replied Lyra.
Ever since Daryl had realized that—unlike regular people—Lyra’s eyes were capable of deciphering the picture of
the sun’s predictions, he had made her responsible for the picture.
“Did the picture provide us with more guidance? Hmm… Alright, let’s head to the study to discuss this together!”
said Daryl with a slight frown.
A little later, all those who were relevant found themselves in the study as Lyra spread the white scroll open,
presenting a drawn picture.
As Daryl and Gerald looked at it, Lyra hurriedly said, “Yesterday, Gerald told me to ask the picture of the sun for the
woman in white’s location. According to Gerald, the woman seemed to have some sort of connection with him…
However, even after asking it several times, it only revealed the picture—which I drew—on that scroll… Since
you’re so anxious to find her, I’m assuming you found some major clues during your trip in the desert, Gerald?”
“Indeed… I wasn’t able to tell you about all that happened there during the call, but just know that everything that
took place throughout my trip in the desert felt incredibly weird. Somehow, all that I experienced there felt related
to the woman in white, and this includes the prophecy of my death. Call it a gut feeling, but once the woman in
white’s location is finally found, I feel that all the mysteries in my heart will be solved,” replied Gerald.
Just as Gerald was about to tell his grandfather about the divine general, Gerald couldn’t help but frown when the
corner of his eye saw the picture on the scroll again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“…How odd… Where have I seen this before…? It seems so familiar…” muttered Gerald.
Hearing that, Daryl then asked, “You’ve seen this image before, Gerald?”
Gerald simply remained silent, continuing to frown for a bit as he remained deep in thought. Eventually, realization
dawned upon Gerald, prompting him to lift his head while shouting, “Alice!”
Upon hearing that name, Lyra gave Gerald a curious look.
“That’s it! That jade charm Alice was wearing! It looks exactly like the picture on the scroll!” added Gerald.
“You’re right! Mable seemed to be wearing a similar jade charm around her neck as well!” replied Daryl.
With that, Gerald immediately rolled up the white scroll and took it with him as he rushed toward Alice’s room.
“G-Gerald! You’re finally willing to come meet me!” cried out Alice.
Completely ignoring her statement, Gerald rushed in front of her before grabbing the jade charm that had been
hanging around her neck. Now in his hand, he compared the charm to the picture on the scroll. As was expected,
both of them were identical.
“So I was right! Alice, where did you get this jade charm?” asked Gerald!
“I-I don’t know!” squealed Alice anxiously as she immediately shook her head.
“Do I need to force the answer out of you?” growled Gerald coldly.
