Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1013 “Ah, so it turns out that you have a rather distinguished guest here today! I apologize for taking quite abit of your time… However, I do wonder who the guest could be for you to give him such high respect,Chairman Lovewell. After all, you’re an extremely powerful and influential person yourself!” said Xaviaas she smiled while straightening her hair.
“Haha! Due to the undergoing treasure exchange event, there are currently plenty of otherdistinguished people in the Logan Province! However, the distinguished guest I have with me now is alittle different from the others… Regardless, why don’t we discuss other things for the moment? Worrynot, for I’ll definitely find the time to carefully read through your cooperation proposal. Actually, sincethe event won’t end until a few more days, why don’t you stay here for the meantime, Miss Yorke?Once the treasure exchange event is over, we’ll officially negotiate how things will go. What do youthink?”
“It would be an honor, Chairman Lovewell,” replied Xavia with a smile.
The rest of the day was rather uneventful, and the next day soon came.
To start her day off, Xavia brought her subordinates along with her as she strolled around LovewellManor. The manor itself was huge and several villas and VIP areas existed within it.
Upon arriving at one of the VIP areas, however, Xavia’s walk was halted by a few guards who said,“Apologies, Miss Yorke, but no one is allowed to enter this area aside from Chairman Lovewell.”
“No, it was rude of me to attempt to enter this area in the first place. Still, I wonder how distinguishedthe guest staying here truly is… I happen to recall hearing about a ‘Mr. Crawford’ who seemed rather
important to Chairman Lovewell… Could Mr. Crawford currently be residing within that room…?” askedXavia as she flashed them a smile.
However, none of the bodyguards responded to her question.
Due to that, Xavia found herself frowning slightly as she then walked away.
“Please do not be saddened, miss. The Lovewells are known to have a lot of secrets,” consoled one ofher subordinates as they walked on.
“Well, I’m just worried that that Mr. Crawford ends up being our competitor. Should that truly be thecase, then won’t everything that the Long family has done so far come to no avail? That Zander truly isa cunning and secretive man… Even after talking to him for so long yesterday, I still can’t make headsor tails of what he truly thinks! How could he have remained so calm when we’re presenting him with acontract worth a billion and five hundred million dollars?” replied Xavia as she crossed her arms.
“Well, for now, let’s just wait until the event is over. We’ll see what he’ll say about it then. Speaking ofthe event, why don’t you head there and have a look around as well? This could be a chance for you toget in contact with businessmen from various other places. Should that happen, then you’ll certainlyend up helping the Long family by a great deal!”
“While that may be true, I’m honestly not all that interested in that event.”
“Where do you propose we should go then?”
“Humph! Well, since Zander did mention my cousins and relatives yesterday, I may as well use theopportunity to pay them a visit. After all, it’s been a good… seven? Or maybe even eight years sinceI’ve last met them!” replied Xavia, a slight glint of contempt in her eyes as she said that.
Moments after she said that, a group of foreigners passed by her and her guards.
As Xavia nodded at them with a smile, she failed to notice the lascivious gaze of the other group’sleader when he looked at her.
It was a little later when the sound of a doorbell ringing could be heard within a small neighborhood.
As soon as the door opened, a woman who looked to be around forty instantly forced on a smile whenshe realized who had come to visit.novelbin
“Oh my, and here I was wondering who was at the door! So it’s you, Xavia! It’s been what? Eight yearssince we’ve last met? You’re all grown up now! Regardless, what business brings you to my door? Weceased contact years ago, didn’t we?” said the woman, her words filled with contempt as she blockedthe door, preventing Xavia from entering.
Xavia herself could hear quite a bit of noise coming from inside. It was evident that the woman currentlyhad several guests.
“Dear aunt, it’s exactly because it’s been so long that I came over to visit. Is it wrong for me to missyou?” replied Xavia with a cold smile as she gently pushed her aunt aside and invited herself in.
“…H-hey! You can’t just do that!” scowled her aunt furiously
Just as Xavia had guessed, there truly were several guests inside. With both men and women of allages, all of them were still talking and laughing with each other—while sitting on couches—until theyfinally realized that Xavia was present.
From that moment onward, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.
“…Well now, if it isn’t Xavia! And here I was wondering who had come over! What a rare guest! What afine woman you’ve grown into!”
