Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1148
“Throughout the years, I’ve hurt a total of seven women… Before I die, I wish to beg for their forgiveness… Only
then will I be able to rest in peace… Perhaps I may still be able to meet Lola after doing so…” said Chester
extremely sincerely.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded slightly without saying another word, a clear sign of his approval.
Gerald was fine with granting him his request since it truly seemed like Chester wished for repentance. The fact
that Chester remembered where every single one of the seven women he had hurt lived made Gerald even more

Soon enough, Chester and Gerald made their way over to a farmer’s house. Once the door was opened, the pale-
faced Chester kneeled before the family of three which consisted of the daughter he had hurt alongside her
parents.
“Y-young lord?! T-to what do we owe the pleasure…?” stuttered the father, as all three of them trembled in fear.
“I have come to beg for your forgiveness! While I’m well aware that I probably can’t ever compensate for all the
mistakes I’ve made, I promise to do anything you ask me to in an attempt to make up for what I’ve done! I don’t
mind taking my life either!” declared Chester.
“T-there’s no need for any of that!” squealed the daughter—who had previously been his victim—in a terrified tone
as she hid behind her parents while shaking her head rapidly.
“I beg of you! Please, allow me to do something to show my sincerity!” pleaded the young lord as he continued
kneeling there.
“As he’s said, you can tell him to do anything. Even telling him to kill himself isn’t out of the option! Go on, take your
pick…” added Gerald—who had been standing beside Chester this entire time—as he looked at the family of three.
“T-there’s no need for any unnecessary deaths! …Regardless… If you truly wish to do something, young lord…
um… T-then help us fill up that water tank over there!” replied the daughter as she pointed at a water tank.
“…Huh?” said Chester, momentarily stunned. However, he quickly returned to his senses before nodding and
heading over to the well to begin his task. Soon enough, the water tank was completely filled.
“That’ll do!” said the family who were clearly still afraid of him, but not as terrified as they initially were. After all,
the young lord didn’t seem to have his usual awe-inspiring aura surrounding him at the moment… It made them

Hearing that, Chester then stood before them again before saying, “I… don’t have much saved, but here’s a
hundred and fifty thousand dollars! Please, accept it!”
With that, Chester held out the money to the trio until they finally gave in and accepted the cash.
Following that, Chester and Gerald left the family’s house to repeat the process with the other six families on
Montholm Island.
Eventually, Chester kneeled before Jasmine once they arrived at the manor where Gerald was currently staying at.
Seeing the young lord, Jasmine quickly hid behind Gerald before shouting, “A-ah! He’s here, Gerald!”
“…While I didn’t physically hurt you, Miss Fenderson, I’ve still hurt Lord Fenderson and your family member… Both
of them nearly died because of me, and I truly hope that you’ll be willing to forgive me…”
