The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1194

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1194 Cundrie herself felt her heartbeat quicken, utterly shocked by what Riley had just said.

She was well aware that Riley was just doing all this in her attempt to dissuade Mr. Snyder fromcontinuing to go after her. With the inclusion of a powerful and influential ‘rival’, they had hoped that Mr.Snyder would retreat after realizing that his competitor was much stronger than he was.

However, Cundrie hadn’t expected her sister to actually exaggerate the facts this much! To think thatshe had even gotten Mr. Crawford from Mayberry involved!

Meanwhile, Xyon and those from his family were all silent, not daring to say a word as their legsquivered in their stupefied state.

After all, the family knew that Mr. Crawford’s subordinates were all very proficient in martial arts. Since—as Abner had said—Gerald was so strong, that meant that there was a high chance that he truly wasMr. Crawford’s subordinate!

‘Does… does that mean that we’ve offended Mr. Crawford…? Are we going to perpetually be doomedthen? Never to succeed again?!’

These were the thoughts of those from Xyon’s family, who had all gone pale by this point.

As for Mrs. Smith, while she had initially been against her daughter’s decision of allowing Gerald in, themoment she heard Riley’s explanation, she felt like she had arrived at the pinnacle of her life.

‘What?!’

No wonder her two daughters had been acting so mysteriously all morning! As it turned out, Mr.Crawford apparently had interest in Cundrie! He had even specifically sent someone over to invite hereldest daughter to some occasion!

‘This… Compared to Mr. Crawford, Mr. Snyder is nothing but dirt! D*mn it all! How dare you even wishto gain my daughter’s affection when you’re inferior to Mr. Crawford in all aspects!’ Mrs. Smith thoughtto herself in excitement.

The Snyder father and son themselves—who were still on stage—were now exchanging glances witheach other rather agitatedly.

Mr. Snyder in particular looked like he was just struck by lightning, immense feelings of jealousy andhelplessness swirling within him. After all, not only had his hopes and plans been ruined, but everythinghe owned could potentially be taken away from him now!

However, he simultaneously appreciated that electrifying feeling. With it, he was frightened enough notto show any signs of resistance, and he knew that it was for the best—at least for now—so that hewouldn’t end up digging a deeper grave for himself.

Regardless, they weren’t the only ones flabbergasted by the revelation. Gerald himself was wide-eyedin shock as he thought to himself, ‘…The hell? So the master of the invitation card is supposed to beme?!’

Attempting to calm himself down, Noel then asked, “…M-miss Smith, did that person over there trulycome over to send the invitation card on behalf of Mr. Crawford…?”

“Is there even a reason for me to lie?” replied Riley as she lifted the exquisite-looking invitation card foreveryone to see.

“Look, it’s written right there that he’s inviting my sister over to meet him at Mountain Top Villa inMayberry! I’m sure none of you need any further explanation with the mention of that location!” addedRiley.

“Mr. Crawford bid a whopping hundred and twenty million dollars for Mountain Top Villa two years ago!It’s the most expensive villa in the entire country! Built atop a mountain and constantly shrouded incloud-like mist, being able to stay there allows people to experience what it’s like to be a deity!” saidone of the local big shots rather longingly at that moment.

“Indeed! That villa’s also particularly well-guarded, and normal people aren’t even allowed to head upthere to take photographs! I know since I went to Mayberry for some amusement last month. As youmay already have guessed, despite my status, I apparently still didn’t have the right to head up toMountain Top Villa!” said another big shot as he cleared his throat before shaking his head with a bittersmile.

On the other hand, several of the present ladies were now looking at Gerald in admiration.

“Now that I look at him a bit more carefully, Mr. Crawford’s subordinate honestly looks quitehandsome!”

“I know right? Well, he’s Mr. Crawford’s subordinate, after all! Any woman would fall for him after givinghim a good, long look!”

As the ladies squealed excitedly among themselves, Noel felt the need to get some confirmation on thelegitimacy of Riley’s claims.

With that, he then asked, “I apologize, for my doubts, but just to be sure, may I ask how many roomsthere are in Mountain Top Villa, sir?”

“…H-huh? Are you actually doubting Mr. Crawford’s subordinate, Mr. Snyder? Aren’t you afraid thatyou’ll offend Mr. Crawford?” asked Riley as she instantly began blushing. After all, even she wasn’taware of how many rooms there were in the villa.

Cundrie herself began clenching her fists tightly, feeling extremely nervous. If they managed to seethrough Riley’s lie, then Cundrie would definitely be the most embarrassed person that day!

Brimming with anxiety, sweat began falling down Cundrie’s forehead as she thought, ‘I’ve already toldyou how smart and slick Noel was! He’s not someone who gets cheated easily!’

“…There are a total of thirty-six rooms that are divided into upper, middle, and lower floors. Since Mr.Crawford was born in a family that appreciates literature and art, the middle floor is used to displaymasterpieces that include ancient paintings, famous western oil paintings, and many other works of artfrom all over the world. Behind the mountain top is a large hot spring pool built high above the cloudsthat can accommodate over two hundred people!”

“The villa is even equipped with workspaces for staff from the medical, catering, entertainment, andseveral other relevant fields. There’s even a helipad for helicopters to land and take off from!”

Despite Cundrie’s worries just seconds ago, Gerald didn’t even hesitate to explain everything there wasto know about the villa. In fact, he did so in a way that suggested that he was quite familiar with it.novelbin

After Gerald was done explaining, both Riley and Cundrie could only look at Gerald in utter disbelief.
