Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 531
“Gerald?”
XellaJaquin and Waylon Letts were both startled.
The entire marketing department was confused.
“Alright, I’m coming!”
Gerald shouted back.
“Gerald, you…you…you are Mr. Crawford?” Xella stuttered. She was clearly in shock.
Though Cindy’s mom joked around once, saying how Gerald could actually be Mr. Crawford from Mayberry the last time they had dinner at their place.
Xella was just flabbergasted back then when she heard of the joke.
But when she gave it a second thought, she was quite close to Gerald, so how could he be the super-rich Mr. Crawford?
But then, just a moment ago, when Mr. Lyle had called out his name, Xella’s mind completely went blank.
Gosh, could Gerald be Mr. Crawford?!
Gerald turned to Xella and nodded, “Yep!”
He then left as the crowd stared at him in astonishment.
Waylon, initially brought in by Xella to visit her father, was dumbfounded as he fumbled around for a chair to sit.
“F*ck! Gerald is a rich heir, and he’s our CEO! No wonder he had so many tickets! Just like what I told you, Gerald had a sophisticated identity, but… oh my god, never would I have thought that he’s our chairman!”
The moment Gerald had left, the entire marketing department went crazy!
“Luckily, we didn’t offend the chairman!” Some girls were both relieved and scared.
In short, the entire atmosphere was just in a frenzy.
Everyone was way too overwhelmed and shocked.
Regarding Stuart’s matter, the problem was handled with ease.
At that moment, they did not only confess what they had done but also exposed several other department managers who were previously not mentioned.
Most of the culprits were residents from Serene County, Mayberry.
The outcome was simple. They were all handed over to the police.
When they were being arrested, Ava threw Gerald a pitiful gaze, pleading for his help, but he turned a blind eye.
He had already given her a chance before.
Since she played the emotion card to deceive him, Gerald was not going to fall for it again!
Eventually, the matter had come to an end.
“Mr. Crawford, your birthday is in four days; any plans? Your dad gave me a call and told me it’s your first birthday since the end of your poverty-stricken life, so let’s celebrate and have a good time, shall we!” Mr. Lyle smiled excitedly.
“What else is there to plan? I’d usually celebrate my birthday with Mr. and Mrs. Winters, and this year is no exception. I’ll still go back to my hometown, but this time around, all of you are free to tag along! With more than twenty people, it’s going to be a blast, hehe!”
Gerald returned a bright smile.
Other than Xeno, who had been a good friend to Gerald since he was a kid, Gerald did not have many close friends.
After all, if you had no money or influence, who would want to play with a poor loser like you?
Hence why Gerald did not invite that many to his birthday party.
Those that he planned on inviting were Zack Lyle and Michael Zeke, probably Aiden Baker, Elena Larson, Xeno Lane, and Sienna.
He mingled well and had fun with those people, so he figured their company would be alright.
Gerald was not willing to make it too public.
After that, Gerald packed up his things as he prepared to go to town.
Michael, on the other hand, looked pale.
Zack had already noticed it, so he asked, “Michael, is there something you haven’t told Gerald?”
Michael scratched his head, anxiously, “I kinda told everyone that Mr. Crawford’s birthday is in four days. But he said to keep it low-key?”
“What?! You leaked that information out?” Zack froze, stunned.
At five in the afternoon, Gerald took a cab and headed back to town.
Gerald could now head back freely without causing any trouble. It was not a problem for the fleet to send him off.
However, the fact that he was Mr. Crawford was still unclear to Mr. Winters and his family.
If he returned like this, it would be too much extravagance, and Gerald did not like this feeling.
The next thing on the list for Gerald was to come clean with Mr. Winters and his family regarding the hospital bill settlement and his identity. After all, there was nothing for him to hide from the old couple.
While on his way back to his hometown, Gerald felt it was better to keep a low profile.
Seeing the roads being paved along the road, Gerald knew that his town would soon undergo some significant development.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 532
“Young man, is your house in this town?”
The driver was a middle-aged man. He asked warmly and flashed a smile.
Gerald nodded.
“Well, congrats, kiddo, your town is about to undergo quite a significant development, and no piece of land here will be left unattended! Not only will they provide housing fees, but also demolition fees and many job opportunities too! You look like a college student, so when you’re back home, you should make good use of this opportunity!”
“Yeah, that would be nice!”
As they chatted along the way, they eventually arrived at Gerald’s hometown.
It was a town, but Gerald’s home was in a small village in the middle of the city—a town village.
There were many families in the village that run mills. They ran businesses like milling flour and such.
Back then, the best part about the village was the fantastic fragrance of freshly milled flour in the air.
But this trip back to his village, it was apparent that the fragrance of milled flour which Gerald missed was significantly lesser now.
“Woohoo, the college student is back!”
“Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend back?”
“Gerald, have you found a job? I’m sure such a bright college student like you can find a good job, right?”
As soon as he entered the village, the villagers flocked around him and started questioning.
“Not yet!”
Gerald smiled.
“Hmph, then you went to college for nothing? It’s no different than the others who dropped out of school early to work!” A woman taunted with disdain.
The village folks’ words were dreadful and judgemental, but Gerald did not bother much.
Instead, he turned away from their remarks and finally reached the door of his home.
When he took out his keys to unlock the door, he realized that the door lock was changed some time ago, and he could not open it.
“What’s the matter?”
Gerald wondered for a moment.
“Oh, Gerald, you’re back!” A woman came out of the house next to Mr. Winters’s. She was Mr. Winters’s second daughter-in-law, Sandrilla Sutton.
She approached Gerald while munching on some peanuts.
“Sandrilla, how come the house locks were changed?”
Gerald asked as he smiled wryly.
He had met Sandrilla before back when they were at the hospital.
She was very greedy for money and would take advantage of every situation, and she did not like losses.
“Oh, I changed it; what’s wrong?”
“Then what about the keys to my house?” Gerald asked.
“Huh, what do you mean by your house? Gerald, do you even know who this house belongs to now? I know why you’re back. You heard that the house was about to be demolished, and you wanted to come back to get your fair share of the money. Let me tell you this once, don’t even think about it! This is my house and written black and white on the estate license!”
Sandrilla’s tone changed.
Gerald immediately understood what she meant.
Mr. Winters had two houses when Gerald’s parents moved here. One was for their own family, and the other one was this.
His parents paid for the house.
To be frank, there was no such thing as a real estate license in the countryside twenty years ago.
They only signed a simple contract, and it was the same contract that his dad had signed with Mr. Winters while they were drinking.
That was a long time ago, and Gerald had no idea where his father had kept the contract.
During that time, they would not even have thought that Mr. Winters’ family would forcefully evict them to get the house back.
And it was because of this matter.
Sandrilla, too, heard about the demolition project and tried to get her hands on the house. She could make tens of thousands of dollars from it.
“Gerald, you’re back! Don’t listen to her nonsense; this house belongs to your family, and no one can take it away from you!”
Suddenly, Mr. Winters came out and exclaimed firmly.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 533
“What do you mean by that, old man? What do you mean it’s theirs? I’m warning you, I’ve consulted with a lawyer, and if we bring this to court, the contract you signed will not be counted! The real estate certificate is ours anyway!” Sandrilla said frantically.
‘Seems like they’ve been quarreling about the matter for quite some time now.’
Gerald thought to himself.
Earlier, when he called Mr. Winters, he sensed that Mr. Winters was in a bad mood.
It turned out that they had been quarreling.
Even if the housing estate belonged to the Crawfords, why would Gerald even fight with them for it?
“Besides, didn’t Gerald win the lottery? Why would he still care about this house anyway! And I don’t know where I lost the house key for the lock!” Sandrilla continued, fuming.
“Hmph!” Mr. Winters grunted as he picked up a large rock from the ground.
“Excuse me, what do you think you’re doing?” Sandrilla asked as she stepped back in anxiousness.
Mr. Winters then stormed towards the door and smashed the lock with the rock.
He then whipped out a new lock from his pocket.
“Gerald, with this lock, the three of them wouldn’t dare to take turns to change the lock to your house. Enough with this mess. Let’s go inside and clean-up later. Come over to my house for dinner; your aunt is cooking up a feast for you.” Mr. Winters said.
“Alright then!”
Gerald took the lock and forced a smile. Turns out, the second sister-in-law was not the first person to lock his house door. The first and third sister-in-law were also involved.
Gerald looked at how grim and hopeless the circumstances were and could only force a grin.
Sandrilla’s face turned scarlet. She cried as she ran back home to make a phone call.
