Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 968
After saying that, Juliet simply frowned before adding, “…You know what? I don’t care anymore. She can just do
whatever she wants to, right?”
With that, Juliet drove both of them home.
Upon returning home, both of them were greeted to the sight of a glamorous woman sitting on the sofa.
As soon as she saw Gerald and Juliet, she immediately stood up and pointed at Gerald before saying, “So he’s
Gerald? What right does a person like him have to enter the Yowell family?”
The woman who had just insulted Gerald was of course, Juliet’s mother who went by the name of Heidi.
Heidi had been notified about her daughter’s marriage while she was still abroad. The moment she found out that
Juliet had gotten married to some wimpy man, she ended up immediately passing out! When she woke up,
however, she instantly booked a flight straight for home. All that led to the current scene.
“Like that has anything to do with you. My marriage with him is a personal matter that doesn’t require your
interference!” retorted Juliet.
“Doesn’t require my interference you say? Tell me, Juliet, what exactly goes on in that head of yours? Have you any
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtidea how many marriage-seeking rich young masters I’ve turned down for your sake? Even if you truly wanted to
get married without taking me to heart, you shouldn’t have married this kind of man! Do you even understand the
shame and humiliation our family will have to endure because of you?!” replied Heidi before tossing a teacup
directly toward Gerald.
With a loud shatter, the cup smashed into a million pieces right at Gerald’s feet!
Gerald, however, simply remained silent.
“As for you, Tulip! I heard that you were the one who urged the two to get married in the first place! Just you wait
and see how I’m going to deal with you in the future! To think that both of you would actually cause such massive
trouble for me while I was abroad looking for a buyer in M Country!”
After saying that, the madwoman immediately stomped her way toward Gerald before giving him a tight slap
across his face!
“Why don’t you take a good, long look at yourself in the mirror? Do you honestly think that someone like you is
worthy enough to be married into the Yowell family? I’ll say this now so listen closely. If both of you know what’s
best for you, then you should get a divorce immediately! Make sure I never see you ever again!” roared Heidi as
she stomped up the stairs in a rage while knocking down all the flowerpots—on the stairs—she could see.
While Gerald could’ve easily avoided Heidi’s slap, he had simply been too distracted by something she had said.
As it turned out, Heidi had actually gone to M Country to look for a buyer. Since Gerald was well aware that the
Yowells weren’t traders, there was no other reason for a rich mistress like her to look for a buyer overseas unless it
was regarding the Ginseng King.
Recalling what Quest had told him before, the Yowells were still looking for a buyer at the time though they didn’t
even know who they could sell it to. In the end, they must’ve decided that the best course of action was to export
the Ginseng King.
Regardless, since Heidi had been the one to go abroad, that must mean that the Ginseng King must be with her.
That was the gist of how Heidi managed to actually land a slap on Gerald’s face.
Regardless, when Juliet saw that Gerald still seemed to be in a daze upon returning to their room, she said, “Since
she slapped you so hard, I’ll be sure to add an extra hundred thousand dollars as compensation when we finally
terminate our one-year contract!”
“…Do you honestly think that money means everything?” asked Gerald out of the blue as he raised his head to look
at her.
“Is it not? Haha! Didn’t you agree to do all this in the first place because of money?” replied Juliet with a hint of
contempt in her voice.
Hearing that, Gerald chose not to respond. Instead, he headed to the bathroom outside to wash his face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he was washing his face, however, he briefly caught a glimpse of a shadowy figure moving extremely quickly
outside the bathroom’s window from the corner of his eye.
After training for so long, Gerald knew that he could trust his vigilance. There was definitely someone out there
earlier!
Wiping his face dry, Gerald simply looked at the window for a brief moment. Following that, instead of walking out
the door, he instead jumped out the bathroom window! Noticing that the shadowy figure was right ahead, he
immediately began chasing after the other person.
It was soon evident to Gerald that the unnamed person was someone who was both extremely fast and skilled.
After all, no matter how much Gerald increased his speed, the escaping shadow always seemed to maintain a ‘safe
distance’ from him.
The term, ‘safe distance,’ was used by Gerald to describe the distance from where one would be safe from being
killed by others through the use of hidden weapons. The more he thought about it, the more Gerald realized that
there was a possibility that the shadowy person was actually more skilled than him.
Eventually, the person stopped moving once he arrived at a boat by a moat. Gerald himself caught up to the
shadow seconds later and was finally able to see what the person looked like.
Under the glow of moonlight, the figure appeared to simply be a man with a black robe draped over him. However,
the robe itself efficiently covered most of the man’s features, leaving only his eyes visible.
Frowning, Gerald then asked, “…Who are you?”
