Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 331 With Liara now being held captive, Gerald began driving to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.

Upon arriving at the villa, Gerald called out to the bodyguards who had opened the gates for thelimousine to enter. They were told to bring Liara to a vacant room and keep a constant eye on her.novelbin

“Wow, little driver! I didn’t expect you to have so much power over the guards here! They’re listening toall your commands!” said Dorothy as she laughed.

“Mr. Crawford, you’re here!”

Zack and Michael saw Gerald entering the building and they hurried over to greet him. They greetedMr. Kendall respectfully as well.

While Zack and Michael usually appeared assertive in Mayberry City, in front of Jessica and Mr.Kendall, they instead gave the impression of just being regular minions.

However, that wasn’t what caught the four new people’s attention. Mr. Kendall, Drake, Tyson, andDorothy were all stunned when they heard how the two addressed Gerald.

“Mr. Crawford?”

“You’re Mr. Crawford?” Mr. Kendall asked, shocked.

“That would be me, yes. I had wanted to introduce myself earlier but the situation hadn’t allowed for it,”replied Gerald, a bitter smile on his face.

Mr. Kendall coughed. The revelation was both surprising to him as well as shameful.

After all, they had earlier been discussing all manner of rumors about him for quite a while when hewas, quite literally, sitting right next to them in the limousine.

To think that this casually dressed and introverted person was actually Mr. Crawford. It seemed thatwhat the eldest young lady had told him was really true.

“…I see. So… You’re Mr. Crawford?” said Dorothy. Though she had initially been comfortable talking toGerald due to how honest a person the driver seemed, she couldn’t help but feel shocked at therevelation.

Gerald simply nodded slowly, a wry smile on his face.

Gerald hadn’t expected any less a reaction. What’s done was done and the four were led to a dinnerbanquet which had been arranged by Michael. The five then slowly got to know one another better asthey ate and drank.

“Mr. Crawford, the eldest young lady and the master have sent us here to pass on an importantannouncement. I believe that the matter has been brought up several times between you and theeldest young lady,” explained Mr. Kendall respectfully.

“While the eldest young lady completed her assessment six years ago, yours is to officially begin now.The family has decided to auction off Mayberry Commercial Street which had initially belonged to bothyou and the eldest young lady. Once the auction is complete, you will be given an exclusive asset. Withsaid asset, you will need to create a completely new group to run in Mayberry City. You’ll have tocontrol and develop it on your own as well!”

This was nothing new to Gerald. On the contrary, Jessica had previously told Gerald about this many,many times.

Because of that, he had prepared himself for the assessment for quite a long time now.

His previous discussion to set up two projects under his name, them being Exceptional Live andYorknorth Mountain, had already been approved.

However, he had not anticipated that his family would auction off Mayberry Commercial Street.

“While I understand that the goal is to develop something on my own, Mayberry Commercial Street isalready very profitable. Is there really a need to auction it off?” asked Gerald as he smiled bitterly.

Gerald had experienced many things there and it bore some sentimental value to him now.

“Well, the profit gained was simply used to assess both you and the eldest young lady. The family couldnever allow such a small group to survive forever. However, Mr. Crawford, if you really like the place,you can buy it again in the future for your own entertainment and leisure!” Mr. Kendall couldn’t reallygrasp the meaning behind Gerald’s question.

However, Gerald still found his answer from Mr. Kendall’s statement. While it was true that MayberryCommercial Street was impressive, compared to the other industries owned by the Crawford familyworldwide, the street was nothing special.

There was nothing he could do but allow his family to auction it off.

Besides, he was also not short of money anymore. Owning Mayberry Commercial Street would only befor bragging rights now and he didn’t want any part of that!

“Speaking of which, Mr. Crawford, a portion of the Crawford family’s defense force in Mayberry City willalso be under you in the future. Drake and Tyson themselves will be working as your personalbodyguards,” said Mr. Kendall.

After saying that, he looked toward Zack.

Zack immediately caught on to what Mr. Kendall was hinting at, and carefully retrieved a small machinewith a red button on it. He handed it gently to Gerald.

Gerald was no stranger to the contraption.

Back when Nigel was very close to killing him, Zack had pressed the button to summon forty to fiftyhelicopters to save him.

“This device functions as a communication tool for Military Emergencies. It now belongs to you!”

The next step was for them to sign some transfer documents and to be done with all the formalities. Bythe time everything was completed, it was already almost eight o’clock at night.

To tell the truth, it was only today that Gerald realized just how much influence and reach his family hadover Mayberry City.

It was surprising, to say the least.
