Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 461

“Hey, dad!”

Gerald called out respectfully, answering the video call.

Although it wasn’t the first time he video called his father after discovering his true identity, Gerald had somewhat grown to be more respectful towards his father.

He increasingly felt how honorable of a man his father was.

“What are you up to now, son?”

Gerald’s father broke into a smile the moment his son came on the screen.

“Am just about to rest, Dad. What’s up with the late call? Anything you need to tell me?”

“Yes, I do. I was initially planning to ask your sister to look into this matter. As I’m aware, you spend most of your time and energy, focusing on your homework. This thing will be delayed since your sister has gone to handle factory issues in North Africa. I wonder if she’d already told you about it?”

“You need my help finding a woman?”

Gerald recalled his sister’s instructions and what she confided in him previously. She had asked for his assistance in looking for a particular woman.

“Yes, I’ll send over her picture to you in a bit. I need your help finding out about her whereabouts as soon as you can. Otherwise, this guilt in my conscience will eat me up for the rest of my life!”

“There is also one more thing that you have to remember. You cannot let your mother know about this!”

Gerald’s father warned as he sighed.

This made Gerald feel a little awkward.

He scowled as he tried to grasp the meaning of the situation.

Could this have been a woman his father had let down in the past?

Damn it! His father was actually asking both the siblings to look for this woman in secret! The first person that crossed Gerald’s mind was his mother. He could not help but feel a little sorry for his mother because he thought they were letting her down.

“What is your relationship with this woman? You have much greater power and influence compared to us. If you wanted to find her, you would’ve definitely been able to find her. Isn’t that the case?” asked Gerald.

“Hey, kiddo. If it was that easy for your father to find her, would I even be asking you or your sister’s help? What’s my relationship with her? It’s a question you both have asked me. Anyway, let me assure you that it’s not whatever you are thinking of. But that being said, she was highly involved in our major family event that year. I can’t help but feel that the Crawford family had let her down even after so many years. Don’t ask me about the details as to what really happened. I’ll explain everything to you at a later time.”

“Okay, that’s it. Please put in some effort to help me to deal with this.”

Gerald’s father hung up as soon as he finished speaking.

It didn’t take long before Gerald received a message.

It was a black and white photo—one which looked like it was a few decades old.

It was a picture of a woman.

The moment he saw the woman, Gerald’s hand trembled uncontrollably, and he nearly dropped his cell phone to the ground.

After looking at the photo again, Gerald inhaled sharply.

“This…isn’t this Queta Smith?”

Yes. The woman in the photo was indeed beautiful. In fact, she was incredibly charming and enchanting.

She looked almost exactly like Queta.

But if this photo was in black and white, then Gerald knew for sure that it could not possibly be Queta.

Who was she?

Gerald presumed that this woman was most probably a peer of his father, which meant that she was around his age.

If that were the case, it was most likely she was Queta’s mother.

After all, Gerald knew that Queta grew up in an orphanage.

It seemed as though her parents abandoned her for no apparent reason.

Putting the pieces together, it led to a clear conclusion that it was Queta’s mother, the woman his father asked him to look for.

Thoughts started shrouding Gerald’s mind.

He could remember vividly how his heart was throbbing and beating uncontrollably the first time he saw Queta.

He also felt a strange sense of comforting closeness to her ever since the first time he saw Queta and even had the urge to protect her for no reason at all.

Now, as he gave it a much deeper thought, he couldn’t help but wonder if Queta was actually his sister?

Despite his father’s explanation, Gerald wasn’t convinced that his father had nothing to do with that woman at all!

That night, Gerald was washed with anxiety. He tossed and turned around his bed, felt extraordinarily restless, and could not sleep at all.

Gerald called Queta early the next morning. He had to meet up with her and clarify this once and for all.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 462

Throughout this whole time, both of them have occasionally been chatting with one another on WeChat whenever they were free.

At present, Queta was already teaching at a new kindergarten and was doing pretty well.

Gerald had helped Queta out and gave her a house to live in, where Drake and Tyson shared the same place with her.

“Miss Smith, can you do me a favor? I can’t review these children’s homework in my class on time. My boyfriend is already on his way, picking me up to go shopping. Could you review their homework on my behalf?”

A female teacher with waist-length hair asked Queta, who was also reviewing her students’ homework.

“But Miss Lawrie, I’m still reviewing my own students’ homework too!”

Queta replied shyly.

“Pfft! If you’re not keen to help me, then just say it. Why come up with so many excuses? Don’t think for a second that you’re so great just because Mr. Teves introduced you to work here. Hah, just think about it! I mean, who are you, Queta Smith? You got crowned as Mayberry City’s Early Childhood Education Academy’s most beautiful teacher after only joining the kindergarten for a month. Isn’t that great or what? If so, can’t you even help me review my students’ homework?”

The teacher named Kaitlyn Lawrie retorted icily.

She became a teacher at the best kindergarten in Mayberry City two months before Queta’s arrival. When Queta first joined, Kaitlyn would often bully her, making her review her students’ homework on her behalf.

Kaitlyn had a wealthy and influential boyfriend who was really handsome too.

She was confident that she would be selected as the most beautiful female teacher in the entire district, optimistic that she would definitely bag the top spot.

But alas, the students’ parents voted for Queta, a woman that was beautiful inside out.

Of course, that threw Kaitlyn into a nervous breakdown.

She even dug into Queta’s background, but there were zero bad records about Queta at all.

Hence, the bullying situation at hand.

Other female teachers who were present just kept their mouths shut.

“Well, I will just review it for you then, Miss Lawrie.”

Queta bit her lips. She then moved the massive pile of homework from Kaitlyn’s table onto her own.

“Hmph! Now that’s much better. Miss Smith, don’t be too high headed thinking you’re so great just cause you won the most beautiful teacher award. Let me tell you something. I, Kaitlyn Lawrie, will not lose to you in anything!”

Kaitlyn mocked before turning around triumphantly as she prepared to leave.

“Queta, everyone should review their own students’ homework. You don’t owe her anything at all, so why are you helping her to do it?”

Suddenly, a soft voice spoke out.

A boy walked up to Queta’s table before moving the pile of homework back to Kaitlyn’s table.

“F*ck! Who do you think you are?”

Kaitlyn was appalled.

Gerald did not even bother looking at her. He simply grabbed Queta’s arm as he said, “Didn’t I ask you to apply for leave? Let’s go out and grab something to eat. I have to talk to you about something!”

“Mm! I have already asked for the day off!”

Queta replied as she nodded.

Upon seeing Gerald, Queta was immediately filled with a sense of security.

Kaitlyn seemed really intimidating to her, and she was a teeny bit afraid.

When the other female teachers saw Kaitlyn being outrightly ignored, they simply lowered their heads and giggled.

Kaitlyn’s face flushed red.

“Oh! Miss Lawrie, your boyfriend is here to pick you up again! God, I envy you so much!”

Several young female teachers who had gone out to shop were chatting with Kaitlyn’s boyfriend at the door.

When they spotted Kaitlyn, they instantly felt jealous.

They then saw Queta and Gerald walking out from the side doors.

The girls continued the gossip among themselves, “Oh, look at that! Is that Queta’s boyfriend?”

“Oh my god! Seriously? He looks pretty low…”

“Haha! I guess they’re meant for each other.”

“…”

The moment Gerald stepped out, these ridicules came flooding…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 463

“Pfft! No wonder Queta dared to disobey me today. It turns out she’s gotten herself a boyfriend! Wow, this is pissing me off right now!”

Kaitlyn rolled her eyes as she glared at Gerald, who was talking to Queta at that time.

“Kaitlyn, what’s wrong?”

The man leaning against his car door had his hands in his pockets asked as he threw a quick look at Gerald.

“It’s all because of Queta! All the kids are on vacation today, so we’re supposed to stay back in school to review their homework. But I’ve made plans to go shopping and ask her to help me review my students’ homework! But look, she refused to help just because her boyfriend’s here!”

“I thought that she actually found a great boyfriend for herself, but he turned out to be nothing more than a pathetic jerk!”

Kaitlyn cried out in exasperation, explaining the details to him.

She saw that Gerald had on a simple white T-shirt, a pair of sports pants and some sneakers.

She couldn’t be bothered to filter any of her words.

“That’s right. He thinks that he’s so great just because he got together with the most beautiful teacher? Hahaha! Kaitlyn, your boyfriend, is still the best! Look, he’s driving a BMW 5 Series — simply too awesome!”

“Of course! It so happens that I’m going out shopping with my boyfriend too. Why don’t all of you get in my boyfriend’s car and we can go together then? After all, we should have a good relationship since we are all colleagues!”

Kaitlyn replied as she laughed.

She wanted to isolate Queta and make sure that she was an outcast in the future.

“Yeah, sure!!”

The girls smiled happily as they got into the car and left together.

Gerald wanted to reprimand Kaitlyn.

He could not help feeling enraged, seeing the way she bullied Queta.

But Queta tugged Gerald’s hand back — she didn’t want him to act rashly.

“Damn it! Do they really think they’re so great just because they’re loaded?”

Gerald cursed as he watched them leave.

They then got into the Mercedes-Benz G500 that he had parked by the side of the road.

It was almost eleven in the morning now.

Gerald drove Queta to a restaurant.

“Gerald, you said you’ve something important to talk about? What is it?” asked Queta curiously once they had taken their seats.
