The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 161

Yoel Holden was the son of County’s State wealthiest man. He was also the leader of the rich youths around the whole Gangnam district.

Not only that, many young women were fond of him, all hoping they would have a perfect encounter with him one day. Yoel might just fall for their beauty one day, they thought.

But these were all pipe dreams as Yoel Holden wasn’t someone they could so easily snuggle up to.

The cruise ship blared its horn as it docked by the port.

The cabin doors were opened, and down came Yoel with women on his left and right. He wasn’t exactly good looking, nor was he tall, even slightly fat, but the pretty girls kept on shouting, “He’s hot!”

Amber was the loudest on their side, hoping to capture Yoel’s attention.

Dickson, on the other hand, stared at him in jealousy. He was dying to be him and wished he could become like that someday.

Even if he could not turn out like him, turning out as Aiden wasn’t so bad. Being Yoel’s best friend, most men would undoubtedly share Dickson’s desires as well.

Yoel took off his Armani sunglasses that were worth a couple of grand and threw it on the beach as if it was a piece of trash.

He then walked toward Crystal, noticing how extraordinarily sexy and pretty she was today. “Crystal, you look wonderful today!” Yoel smiled gently.

Even though his eyes were two tiny slits, many girls were still very fond of him! “Yoel, you’re hot today as well!” they cooed.

Crystal brushed her hair and went back to being a dainty princess. She only wanted Yoel to notice her, hence the super exposed outfit.

Since the internship was approaching and Yoel had been after her for three years, it was hard to say if he would still do so after it was over. Thus, she had to confirm her relationship with Yoel as soon as possible.

An intelligent woman should always know the right timing.

“Come here, Crystal. I would like you to meet a significant guest of the day!”

“Huh? Important guest?” Crystal was shocked. All these years being around with Yoel, she had never heard him mentioning important guests. She had never thought anyone would be important enough to be too important in his eyes.

Yoel nodded, looking around the audience of wealthy young men and women. “Everyone… what a happy and joyous occasion. It’s nice to meet all of you! I would like to introduce someone very important to all of you!”

“You all probably know how my family got a part in County’s State? It was all because of my dearest godsister’s help and now, my godsister’s blood-related brother. Gerald is here today!”

Yoel attempted to make a big entrance for his godbrother, Gerald, as a surprise!

Of course, all these were just for impressing Gerald and a more promising future for their family.

“What? Who is Gerald? What does he do? My dad has mentioned him multiple times!”

“How could you not know who Gerald is? You must have heard of Mayberry Commercial Street right? It’s one of Gerald’s properties. It’s not his family business, but it’s listed under his own property, get it?”

“What the fuck? The whole Commercial Street belongs to him?”

Everyone turned completely speechless.

Because it would also mean that Yoel’s father’s entire net worth was worth no more than a piece of Gerald’s property.

”Dickson, could Gerald really be that great?” Amber was shocked.

“I’ve only heard about this guy recently, that he has lots of potential. Come to think about it, Holden’s family could only become this successful thanks to Gerald’s sister!” Dickson crossed his arms as he explained it to everyone.

“Damn! Does it mean we get to see who this Gerald person is?” Amber was super excited.

At the same time, Yoel looked at Aiden. “Aiden, where is Gerald?” he asked.

Yoel used to call Aiden by his full name, but ever since he found out that he and Gerald were best friends, he now addressed him on a first-name basis. That said, no matter how he mentioned his name, there was still a big gap between them.

“He arrived a long time ago, but he probably just went out!” Aiden was looking all around for Gerald.

“Yoel, should we look for him at the hotel? We shouldn’t let him wait since he’s such an important guest,” replied Crystal as she nudged Yoel’s arm.

Crystal was all blushing. At first, she thought Yoel was everything, but now, there was apparently someone else even greater! And since this Gerald was already here, she would really love to meet him.

Crystal believed that since her relationship with Yoel wasn’t confirmed, she might just get Gerald’s interest. Everything in a relationship had to be as tough as hell!

“I agree, Yoel. We should look for him personally!” A few guests suggested the same idea too.

“How could I have missed this point!” Yoel’s face had changed. He thought Gerald would be at the beach when he arrived. He would then invite him to join them respectfully. It was all supposed to end well, but what he didn’t expect was the fact that Gerald wasn’t even at the beach at all.

If that were to be the case, it meant he was waiting for his godbrother to see him, and that would be a terrible idea!

“You’re right. Let’s find my godbrother, but we don’t need too many people!” said Yoel.

“ Please bring us, Yoel?!” shouted the girls who were sitting on Gerald.

“ We were hitting a pervert just now. Could you bring us to see Gerald?” the girls asked as their eyes watered.

“Alright! I’ll bring you girls along. Aiden and Crystal, let’s go find my godbrother!” Yoel replied.

“There’s no need for that!” Gerald raised his head, spitting out a mouthful of sand.

The girls moved their butts away, and Gerald could finally breathe properly.

“I was here all the time!” groaned Gerald as he rolled over the sand.

“What?” Everyone was shocked when they heard that.

Aiden immediately took a good look at the guy who got beaten up by the girls.

“Gerald! You’re here!” he screamed.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 163

“What? He is Mr. Crawford?!”

Upon hearing Aiden’s words, the crowd looked toward their direction in shock.

Dickson’s eyes widened in disbelief while Amber’s jaw dropped.

“Hey man, are you my godbrother Gerald Crawford?” Yoel asked anxiously. He never thought that Gerald would appear just like this.

“Yes, indeed!” Gerald answered while struggling to get up. He hissed and took a breath. His body felt numb from bearing the weight of the few pretty ladies who sat on top of him.

“Someone, help me up!”

“Oh my! Mr. Crawford, Mr. Crawford!”

The pretty ladies who were standing nearest to Gerald were stunned. Their screams drowned out Gerald’s voice.

Elena felt afraid and was almost shocked at what she saw. Nevertheless, she still rushed over to help Gerald get on his feet.

Last time, Elena had offended Mr. Crawford before, but Mr. Crawford was not too harsh on her because of her father.

However, this incident seemed very serious. Elena was uncertain as to how Mr. Crawford would be angry about this. She stood aside in silence without daring to say a word. Her brain could not process any response at the moment.

“Mr. Crawford! Who beat you up like this?” Yoel asked as he immediately lunged forward to help Gerald up with his hand.

This scene left Crystal and the few pretty ladies in bikinis dumbfounded. They realized that the VIP of the day was actually Gerald, also known as tycoon Mr. Crawford! Oh my goodness, they thought to themselves, what have we done?!

Since Mr. Crawford found favor in those pretty ladies’ eyes, Gerald went over to visit them. However, they ended up putting Mr. Crawford to shame, wasting the opportunity of getting to know who Mr. Crawford was.

Argh! Crystal started to regret this, but Dickson and Amber had the worst feelings of regret.

Dickson had spent the whole day beating Gerald up and showing off his connections and how great his family was. Gerald, however, simply smiled in silence while Dickson was flaunting what he had.

Dickson believed that his ridicule on Gerald had succeeded, causing him to lose his face to the point he couldn’t reply a word. Fuck, he thought. Gerald was actually laughing at how stupid he was!

Amber couldn’t process what was going on. She looked at Gerald with terror, dying to speak, but the noise of the crowd would just drown her voice out.

“Mr. Crawford! Mr. Crawford!” screamed the pretty ladies started screaming.

“Anyone noticed how Mr. Crawford looks so elegant and handsome?!”

“Yes, indeed! Look at Mr. Crawford. He rocks in such a plain outfit! Ordinary people ain’t his match!”

“I wonder if Mr. Crawford is still single? Goodness me! Mr. Crawford is so reserved. He’s such a gem! I want to be his girlfriend!

Numerous ladies loudly discussed Mr. Crawford, expressing their utmost adoration toward Gerald. With that many girls finding favor in ‘Mr. Crawford,’ Gerald was elated. It was his first time after all.

“Mr. Crawford, I’m sorry!” Crystal apologized and bowed in embarrassment. A group of ladies followed suit and bowed as well. Crystal even squeezed her chest a little, hoping to attract Gerald’s attention.

“These ladies were really disrespectful a while ago, Mr. Crawford. How should we punish them?” Yoel asked, but he already had an answer in mind. He even caught Crystal’s flirtatious antics.

Since he was young, girls would automatically flock to Yoel. With the emergence of Crystal Lester, a clingy yet playing-hard-to-get girl, Yoel Holden did not want to lose this opportunity. He simply wanted to experience what it was like pursuing a lady.

Deep down inside, Yoel actually felt like beating silly Crystal to death for rudely roughing up Mr. Crawford and screwing his perfectly prepared plan of a cool Mr. Crawford introduction.

Gerald glared at Crystal and the other girls.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 164

Gerald was honestly so done with the ladies. They mustn’t be led off the hook!

“It was simple. As punishment, get the ladies to have a volleyball match with us, but in bikinis!” said Gerald bluntly.

“What? It is that simple?” Crystal responded with joy.

Crystal started overthinking, “Perhaps Mr. Crawford pitied me and took the initiative to make peace? I am, after all, stunning. Which guy wouldn’t be enchanted by me?”

“Of coursey’all wouldn’t be doing it here! It’ll be at Rivington City’s most popular street!” replied Gerald.

Crystal’s mind went blank. Shocked, she let out a loud scream. How embarrassing was that!

“Hmph, y’all should thank Mr. Crawford for the punishment! Alright, it’s getting dark now, and many have left. See you at noon tomorrow noon on Rivington City’s most crowded street. I’ll be organizing a volleyball match!” Yoel announced before giving Gerald a nudge, a gesture inviting him to board the cruise ship as well.

“Mr. Crawford, I love you! Oh my!” a few girls screamed, grabbing locks of Gerald’s hair as he passed them and entered the cruise ship.

Gerald even had a few pretty ladies in bikini’s holding on to his arm intimately. Tonight’s VIP was indeed, Gerald, Mr. Crawford!

“Sister Elena, sister Elena!” shouted Amber while stomping her feet anxiously.

The moment Elena Larson heard her younger cousin’s voice, she backed off from following Gerald into the cruise ship.

“Gerald is really Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street! Why didn’t you tell me this earlier? He’s very handsome, truly handsome indeed! I was wrong, it’s all my fault. Elena, you must explain this to Mr. Crawford!”
