The Secretly Rich Man full story

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1206

Since Gerald had mentioned before that his fate was still largely undecided, she had often found herself thinking

about the worst-case scenarios. It was the reason why she was so glad to see him in one piece now.

By then, those living in the neighborhood were already crowding around the duo as they watched in jealousy.

“It must be nice being so rich! I’m sure he can do whatever he pleases!” said one of the men in the crowd rather

enviously.

His voice was so loud that a woman—who was returning from a stroll in a nearby park—heard it. Finding his

comment strange, she then realized that a huge crowd had formed right in front of her house!

Feeling that something was amiss, she quickly made her way through the crowd and was shocked to see that her

daughter—alongside some man whose back was facing her—was the center of all the attention!

“Still, that rich heir truly is capable… All he did was say a few things to that beauty to gain her affection!” said

another person from within the crowd.

Hearing that, the woman growled, “…What?”

Under the impression that her daughter was getting bullied, she then rushed over and pulled Naomi away from the

stranger’s embrace while before, “You b*stard! Unhand my daughter!”

She couldn’t care less whether the person was a rich heir or not. As long as he was trying to take advantage of her

daughter, she was going to make sure that that playboy would get a piece of her mind.

“Now listen here, you-”

Momentarily stunned when she saw who the person her daughter had been hugging was, her angered face slowly

turned into surprise before eventually ending in delight.

“…Gerald…? Are… Are you really Gerald…?” asked the woman, her shock evident in her voice.

“Indeed I am, madam. It’s truly been a long time since we’ve last met each other!” replied Gerald with a smile.

“And here I thought that someone was bullying Naomi! Well, now that I know who you are, do come in!” replied

Naomi’s mother happily.

Since Gerald had cured her illness back then, her sudden change in mood was really no surprise. Regardless, all

three of them then entered Naomi’s house.

Upon entering, Naomi’s mother took good care of Gerald and immediately headed off to cook the ingredients that

Naomi had brought home with her. According to her mother, Gerald had to stay for a home-cooked meal with them

no matter what.

Gerald himself wasn’t about to say no to that, and he simply sat on a sofa, chatting with Naomi as her mother

cooked in the kitchen.

While chatting, Gerald eventually asked about the two people that Naomi had talked with back at the entrance of

the neighborhood.

Scratching the back of her head, Naomi then explained, “If you hadn’t reminded me about it, I would’ve surely

forgotten about it by now… I even promised the two that I’d head over to the school to help them get to the bottom

of the incident once I brought the groceries back home!”

“An incident? What happened?” asked Gerald, realizing now that the ‘incident’ had something to do with Naomi.

At that moment, Naomi’s mother walked out and said, “It’s all because of that thirty thousand dollar scholarship…

You see, not only does Naomi have the position of a class teacher, but she also manages the scholarships of the

senior students! The thing is, all that money suddenly went missing the night before the scholarship money was to

be distributed! As if that wasn’t already troubling enough, a woman by the name of Yazmin Yallop keeps asserting

that Naomi was the one who had taken the money! Her argument was that Noami was suddenly able to buy a

house not long after the money was stolen!”

“While even the school had initially wanted to deal with the situation in a low-key manner, that madwoman reported

the case to the police and insisted that Naomi was the perpetrator! That’s the reason why the officers were looking

for her in the first place!” grumbled Naomi’s mother angrily.

Following, she then added, “I’m sure you’re well aware that Naomi isn’t such a person, right Gerald? After all, even

though your subordinates keep trying to hand her money, Naomi never accepts any of it! With that in mind, why

would she even covet the thirty thousand dollar scholarship?”

“But of course I believe her!” replied Gerald with a nod.

“I’m glad you agree! But my daughter here… You know, she said she was willing to just admit to stealing the money

and let bygones be bygones! Just giving away thirty thousand dollars for something she didn’t do? Not on my watch!

There’s no way I’m allowing that Yazmin to take advantage of her like this!” growled the angered mother.

“First things first… Who exactly is this Yazmin person?” asked Gerald.

“Ah… She’s the class teacher of the class right next to mine… She’s been jealous of me ever since I took over her

position in the grade she’s teaching in. I didn’t even have a say in it when I got recommended to get the role during

the conferring of academic titles… However, she fully doubts that and believes that I made schemes to snatch

everything away from her! With that in mind, she’s been hostile toward me ever since!” replied Naomi with a sigh.

“She’s bullying you because her husband is both powerful and capable! Aside from that, you’re also slightly at fault

for being so gentle all the time! Some people are just like this, you know? The more you respect her, the more

she’ll think how easily bullied you are. I’ve already told you to tell Chairman Lyle about this, but you simply

refused… We have Gerald’s support on our side, you know? What are you even afraid of?”

“…It’d be better if you said less about this mom. Regardless, I need to head over to the school since the officers are

still waiting for me… Do you mind waiting here for the moment, Gerald?” asked Naomi.

“Actually, I was planning to head to your school to have a look around anyway. Let’s just head over together!”

replied Gerald as he stood up.
