Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 181

Zack, Howard, and his son went up the platform together.

They stood in the same row subconsciously.

To everyone’s surprise, they gave Gerald a 90-degree bow.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. Congratulations on purchasing the Mountain Top Villa successfully.”

They said in unison, just like they had discussed it, and reached an agreement beforehand.

A loud bang was heard.

As soon as they said that, it appeared like a great blow was thrown into the crowd, and they were shocked immensely.

“Mr. Crawford! So it turns out that he’s Mr. Crawford!”

“Oh my God! Is he the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry? Is he the absolute national millionaire, Mr. Crawford?”

They gaped in surprise and excitement.

“What? Mr. Crawford? So Gerald is that Mr. Crawford!”

Rita staggered and retreated weakly.

During their family reunion before, somebody made a guess that Gerald was the absolute national millionaire, Mr. Crawford.

However, Rita had denied it there and then.

It was because Gerald did not seem like it at all.

But the scene before her soon shocked her deeply, so much so that she was about to faint.

‘Mr. Crawford! Gerald is that Mr. Crawford!’

No wonder one hundred million dollars meant nothing to him.

He did not even seem surprised when he touched the luxurious car which cost around two thousand dollars.

It was because he was a prestigious and wealthy young youth—Mr. Crawford.

He was the heir of the most wealthy and influential family.

Rita’s facial expression became complicated. She was filled with deep regret.

At the same time, Wyatt’s facial expression worsened. He was regretful too.

A while back, Mr. Crawford wanted to shake hands with him. He even smiled at him.

That was such a good chance for him to get close to the wealthy people and gain some benefits from it.

But what did he do? He did not even glance at Mr. Crawford.

Besides, what else did he say? He even condemned Mr. Crawford, claiming that he was a mere nobody.

He even started to give him a hard lesson, but Mr. Crawford only smiled without saying anything.

At the same time, Dawn, Nyla, Samuel, and Melanie gaped in shock.

In short, they were filled with deep regret.

Gerald stood on the platform. He looked at them who appeared quite shocked before him. He did the same thing, he smiled casually.

He did not have to be infuriated by them.

It was better that way. It was so much better than beating them up vigorously.

Gerald looked at Rita beside him. “Rita, I’ve purchased the villa now. Shouldn’t you give me the key and then bring me there to take a look at the Mountain Top Villa?”

“I… Yes, Mr. Crawford!”

Rita said that with much difficulty.

She did not even know how she should address Gerald.

She then turned around and brought them along. Soon, they reached the foot of the mountain where Mountain Top Villa was.

“Rita, we would like to go too. Could you please plead with Mr. Crawford and ask him to bring us along?”

Two beautiful women—Dawn and Nyla rushed toward them now.

When they reached Rita, they purposely spoke louder, just to let Gerald hear them and realize that they indeed regretted what they had done.

They did not even care about the deep humiliation which engulfed them when they did so. They couldn’t care less about it.

The most important thing was they needed to please Mr. Crawford so that he would forgive them. They believed that they would be able to gain something from there. Even though Mr. Crawford might not admire them, they would be able to stay by his side and be his servants given how beautiful they were.

“I… I can’t do that!” Rita was still in shock. How could she help to plead with him?

“Mr. Crawford, could you please let us go up there and take a look? We were wrong just now. We’re deeply sorry! May we know how we can seek your forgiveness?”

Both Dawn and Nyla became teary.

In fact, Gerald felt that he was slightly sorry toward them when he saw them like that.

They changed their attitude too drastically in so short a time.

Gerald directly retorted given what they said just now. “Fine, if you want me to forgive you, act like a dog and bark in front of me!”

He said those words in anger, asking them to get lost immediately.

A few barks were heard.

Unexpectedly, they started barking like a dog in front of everybody.

At the same time, they twisted around and said, “Mr. Crawford, do I look like a dog now? What kind of female little puppy do you want to see? Why don’t you ask me to act for you?”

They stuck out their tongues at Gerald.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 182

“D*mn it!”

Gerald felt like he was about to have a headache.

Those two women were indeed the most shameless women Gerald had ever met in his whole lifetime, even more so than Xavia.

He asked them to bark like a dog, and they did so without any hesitation.

Actually, both Dawn and Nyla had risked everything they had. They would certainly cling onto Mr. Crawford vigorously no matter what he asked them to do.

It was indeed such an effective tactic.

Gerald was speechless now. He waved his hand. “Just come along if you want!”

“Mr. Crawford!”

At that moment, Wyatt shouted. He raised both of his hands and bent his body slightly. He then squeezed out of the crowd and ran toward Gerald.

“Mr. Crawford. I didn’t know who you are just now. I was wrong. Please forgive my bad manners. I’m Wyatt Light. We were introduced to each other just now.”

Wyatt held both of his hands in midair, wanting to have a closer contact with him, shaking his hands.

Mr. Crawford was indeed not someone who Wyatt could afford to offend. He would definitely be able to ruin Wyatt any minute.

“But I don’t know you!”

Gerald said softly, then he put his hands in his pockets.

“This… Mr. Crawford… My daughter and I offended you just now. Please forgive us. We’re deeply sorry.”

Wyatt appeared quite upset. He waved his hand immediately, and Melanie stepped forward pitifully.

‘It turns out that this pathetic man is Mr. Crawford. It’s so unexpected!”

“Mr. Crawford, I was wrong just now.”

“Oh? Don’t you have mysophobia? I sat behind you just now. You were so anxious that you changed your seat. Now, it seems like you don’t have that now. Why are you standing so close to me? Aren’t you scared?”

Mr. Crawford smiled, and that was all he did at the moment.

“I…”

Melanie blushed deeply. ‘Am I not attractive enough for him?’

Gerald smiled bitterly and shook his head. He did not bother about them anymore. He then turned around and went up the mountain with Zack and the others.

That was the first time Gerald condemned the others. In fact, he was quite infuriated just now. After venting his anger out like that, he felt much better.

Besides, his extremely pompous and arrogant second cousin——Rita followed closely behind him, holding the key in her hand. It made Gerald feel that it was indeed wonderful being a rich person.

In fact, Rita was in a dilemma too. It was because she started to hold different feelings and emotions toward Gerald at that moment.

She felt that Gerald appeared quite handsome, outrageously so.

Rita was humiliated deeply, but she knew that it was a good thing. It was because it seemed like there was a new chance for her after all, being married into a rich family.

From what she could see, Gerald did not appear to hate her.

Besides, she would now be the butler for the Mountain Top Villa from now on. She would surely have much contact with Gerald.

‘Sister, does it mean that I’ll do something bad to you?’

That afternoon was indeed quite interesting.

Gerald strolled around the villa for around one to two hours. He then brought them and went down the mountain at around four o’clock in the afternoon.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, there were a few messages in his class group chat all of a sudden.

It was the class representative, Cassandra who posted a few photos and words in the group.

“Please help to share it on your social media!”

“Help our classmate. Her younger sister is seriously ill, and she isn’t able to earn money too. Please donate some money and help them to resolve this issue. Your kindness is greatly appreciated!”

At first glance, one realized that Cassandra was the one who was in charge of the shooting of the photographs and the writing of the content.

It was Layla Hack.

Cassandra asked her to hold up a sign with the words “Please help me!” scrawled on it and stood on the platform in the class. She seemed to be asking for everybody’s help.

At that moment, Layla seemed extremely paled, and she closed her eyes tightly. She was grasping the sign tightly in her hands. Clearly, her fingernails were stabbed deeply into the paper sign.

“Friends, this is the photograph and details I designed for Layla for the fundraising campaign. Is there anything you think that I should improve on? If no, I’ll report it to the department. If you think that there’s not a problem with it, please reply with the number ‘one’ here.”

Both Blondie and Felicity wrote their reply. “1!”

“……”

It was indeed that woman!

How could she crush one’s dignity like that?

Gerald did not know when Layla had returned to the college. He was also unaware when the fundraising campaign started.

But Gerald knew instantly that it was Cassandra’s idea, using such a tactic for fundraising and publicity purposes.

It was because Gerald was forced to do exactly the same thing by Cassandra before. She claimed that it was a way to show their compassion and improve the class’s honor and reputation.

“D*mn it!”

Gerald knew exactly how Layla felt at that moment since he experienced it before.

He could not even bear that kind of humiliation. How about Layla who had much more self-esteem than he?

“Yoel, get a car. I need to return to college this instant!”

Gerald said immediately.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 183

Soon, Gerald reached the college.

He went straight to his own department classroom.

When he reached the west entrance, he saw that it was crowded.

There were a lot of students from different departments, and they almost blocked the road.

Gerald saw Harper and the others who stood in the crowd. So he squeezed his way into the crowd.

Then only he saw what was happening.

A girl was standing at the west entrance, holding up a sign pitifully.

She lowered her head greatly.

But Gerald recognized her at first sight. It was none other than Layla.

Beside her, there were Cassandra, Victor, and the president of the student union—Whitney.

At that moment, Layla acted like a background image, giving the others the chance to snap their photographs with her.

“Gerald, here you are. It’s so frustrating!”

Harper patted Gerald’s shoulders slightly.

He then said angrily, “Layla is indeed in some crisis now. But the class representative is over the line. It’s fine if they want to hold a fundraising campaign. But why do they have to force Layla to hold up a sign like this and stand here in front of everybody?”

Benjamin said, “If they don’t create such a commotion, how would our department gain our popularity? Just take a look at it now. The class representatives, Victor and Whitney, have worked busily for the entire afternoon for Layla’s fundraising event. They then asked Layla to stand there like that just so they could show off about it.”

“Besides, this event has attracted the attention of the college. They claim that they have to put significance on it, and they must help that particular student to resolve her crisis!”

Actually, there were quite a lot of students who knew the inside story of that event. They were quite angry about it.

The others who knew not what happened would have another kind of mindset. “Just look at her! How pitiful she is! Her family has run out of money. So she’s more than willing to stand in front of everybody, trying her best to raise funds for her younger sister so that her illness could be cured.”

“She’s so pitiful!”

So a lot of them were willing to donate some money for her.

But for those who knew the inside story were perfectly aware of the fact that it was all planned and arranged by Cassandra. Something happened in the morning. Layla returned to the college and asked for help from Cassandra.

In the end, Cassandra thought of such a plan for her. If Layla refused to do so, she would not help her with that other request.

“Mr. Zach, here you are!”

Cassandra shook hands with a middle-aged baldheaded director. After that, that middle-aged director took out his donation—two hundred dollars and put it into the donation box.
