Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 801

“My word! Since when has the Crawford family assembly become this lax? Can literally anybody participate and sit wherever they like? Just look at how pathetic this awkward-looking person is!”

Gerald had just finished sending a message to his sister when he heard a woman’s voice mocking him. When he turned to look at the woman beside him who had heavy makeup on, she simply rolled her eyes at him.

“Humph! And here I thought that I’d only be able to meet distinguished people after getting married into the famous Crawford family! Never would I have imagined to have to sit at a table here with such a person!” complained the woman loudly, just so Gerald could hear her.

The woman looked down on Gerald so much that she seemed to be embarrassed just having to sit next to him.

“That’s quite enough! Watch your mouth. While everyone in the family is wealthy, some people are still less knowledgeable and insightful than others! Besides, some of us here may have attitudes of an upstart, so just ignore them!” explained her husband.

It was clear that the rude woman’s husband was also feeling slightly embarrassed having to share a table with Gerald. Due to the couple’s words, a few others who were sitting at the table began insinuating Gerald as well.

Bethany herself—who was also sitting beside Gerald—frowned before saying, “You’re just a lowly actress! What right do you have to criticize those from the Crawford family? Do you lack self-awareness or something?”

“Come again? Who could you possibly be referring to when you said, ‘lowly’?” replied the woman coldly when she heard what Bethany had said.

“Oh, stop with the acting. We all know who she was referring to,” said Niki as she too smiled coldly whole looking at the woman.

To Gerald, it seemed like both parties held grudges against each other.

“That’s enough, there’s no need to argue with them!” dissuaded her husband.

“Humph! Just look at you! You hardly have any status among the other Crawford family members! These two are just mere girls! Remember the last time we went abroad? While both of them were received in the most distinguished manner possible, we were only seen as important guests! We were just one level below them! As if that wasn’t enough, here they are condemning me now! Yet you don’t even dare to speak up against them!” replied his wife in dissatisfaction.

Hearing that, her husband simply sighed.

“It’s not like I can help it. It’s simply true that their family is ranked higher than mine! Besides, the Crawford family has lots of rules and regulations! The family branches are separated according to our levels, which also represent our seniority! To put simply, imagine a situation where a young master meets his grandfather. Naturally, the young master has to bow when he greets him!” explained the man in resignation.

“Speaking of young masters, do you know the young master of the Crawford family? You need to contact him more since he’s the Crawford family’s heir!” asked the woman.

At that, the man could only sigh again before replying, “The young master’s only returning to the family today… In fact, this family assembly was most probably held specifically for him. How could I possibly know who he is?”

“Humph! Useless! How truly useless!” said the arrogant woman embarrassedly.

Since she had seen Gerald follow Bethany in, the woman was sure that Bethany had allowed such a person to sit at her table just to humiliate her. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became!

“Humph! Change seats with me! I don’t want to continue sitting beside a person who wears clothes that don’t even cost a thousand dollars! Such a humiliating person can only be from one of the family’s outer branches! How disgusting!” said the woman as she glared at Gerald.

Upon standing up and taking a step forward, however, the woman suddenly began screaming!

The truth was, while she was making all sorts of gestures while arguing with Bethany earlier, the hem of her long dress got closer and closer to Gerald’s foot. As a result, Gerald ended up stepping on a small part of her dress without even noticing it.

While it definitely wasn’t something to shout about, the woman seemed extremely furious.

“You b*stard! You did that on purpose!” roared the woman as she looked at Gerald.

“It wasn’t on purpose!” replied Gerald in bitter resignation.

“F*ck you! It was Bethany who told you to sit here, right? After mocking you like that, why else would you continue staying here? Just get lost already!” shouted the woman angrily as she pushed him.

As a result, the cup of tea in front of Gerald splashed all over him!

“How audacious can you be, Xandra?! How dare you be this rude to someone from the Crawford family!”

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 802

The one who had immediately stood up and shouted at the madwoman was Bethany.

“So what if I’m rude? What are you going to do about it?” retorted Xandra, not wanting to be outdone.

The two seemed to have forgotten where they were as they continued arguing with each other. This was made apparent since everyone else had already gone silent for some time.

“Brother!” shouted a crisp and clear voice which silenced the two arguing women.

After all, they knew who the voice belonged to. Both of them then turned to look at Jessica who was hurriedly walking toward them.

“Sister!” replied Gerald as he tried wiping the tea stains off his body.

“…Sister?”

Everyone there was immediately stunned. He called Jessica his sister? Was he really…

“Who did this? Who dared to humiliate the young master of the Crawford family? That person must have a death wish!” scolded Jessica in a frigid tone which sent chills down the spines of the other Crawford family members.

Xandra and Bethany themselves had their jaws wide open. Both of them simply couldn’t believe their ears.

‘…What? He’s… the young master of the Crawford family?’

“I… Young lady! I-I’m so sorry! I didn’t know!” said Xandra as she began vigorously shaking her head.

“So it was you! Get out of my sight!” growled Jessica coldly.

“I-I’ll leave right away!”

Knowing how much trouble she had gotten herself into, Xandra knew better than to linger around any longer.

As she turned around to leave, Jessica added, “Hold it. You’re to roll all the way to the doorstep from where you stand. Don’t make me repeat myself!”

Xandra completely understood Jessica’s order and metaphor. She was to leave the Crawford family for good, and she would never be allowed in again.

Though she was in deep regret, she was so panicked that she immediately obeyed, rolling on the floor in front of everyone before finally leaving.

“Now come on, Gerald. Let’s head up there!” said Jessica with a smile once she saw that Xandra was no longer there.

Bethany and many others still had their mouths covered. None of them even dared to say a word.

Since Gerald seemed to be quite an honest man at first glance, Bethany hadn’t thought twice about bullying him. To think that she had ordered such a terrifyingly powerful person to pick up tennis balls for her!

“He’s… He’s Gerald Crawford! The young master of the Crawford family!”

As Gerald headed toward the elevated platform, several people were already discussing it while simultaneously clapping loudly as he walked on.

Mr. Crawford had finally returned to the family.

Upon seeing him, both Dylan and his wife stood up with smiles on their faces. Nothing made them happier than meeting their son.

“Dad! Mom!” shouted Gerald whose eyes were already watery as he ran toward them. After all, he hadn’t met them for almost an entire year.

“You’re finally back, son! Our family is finally reunited again!” said Dylan as he patted Gerald’s shoulders firmly.

“Speaking of which, Gerald, while we were educating and raising you in poverty back then, we failed to introduce you to an equally as important person!” said YuliaYaleman—Gerald’s mother—as she turned to look at the woman beside her whose face was already red.

The blushing woman in question then stood up before softly saying, “We’ve already met each other earlier, mom…”

The woman in question was Lyra!

“Mom?” replied Gerald, stunned when he heard what Lyra called his mother.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 803

“This is Lyra, Gerald! Though we’ve never mentioned her to you before, she’s the one who’s been helping you handle your financial issues all these years. We’ve raised her since she was young!” said Yulia who didn’t seem to have heard what Lyra had said earlier.

Though her mother wasn’t saying it directly, the underlying message she was implying was clear as day to Gerald. After all, not only had Gerald already heard others referring to Lyra as the young lady, it was also obvious based on the current expressions on his parents’ faces.

“Mom, we’ve already met earlier!” said Lyra a little louder this time as she looked at Gerald with a faint smile.

“Oh, you have? Well all the better then! Haha! Alright, no more beating around the bush! Lyra is your fiancée, Gerald!” said Dylan who was looking very happy.

In response, however, Yulia coughed before tugging gently on Dylan’s sleeve. After all, they were aware that their son had a girlfriend. Not only that, she was now missing! It simply felt too early to be talking about engagements.

Gerald himself was astonished beyond words. He hadn’t expected the gentle and elegant Lyra to be his fiancée. No wonder the others were addressing her as the young lady!

This turn of events was somewhat similar to a television series he had watched in the past. Just like the girl in the show, Lyra had been adopted by the family just to end up becoming his parents’ future daughter-in-law.

The entire situation was simply bizarre to him. It seemed that his family had put in a lot of effort just to raise and educate Lyra too.

“Do take a seat, Gerald!” said Lyra at that moment, still blushing as she took out more tissues to help Gerald wipe the tea stains off his body.

Lyra, I’ll do it myself…” said Gerald as he took the tissues from her hand.
