Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 813 “Do you personally know Mr. Fairwell, cousin?” asked Bea as she looked at Gerald who had remainedsilent throughout their journey home.novelbin

She had found it strange that Mr. Fairwell had personally come all the way here just to give her a carwithout any good reason. The fact that not many people actually knew about her true identity alsomade the situation much more suspicious.

To top it off, Gerald had just asked for her identity card number this morning! Sensing how respectfulMr. Fairwell had treated her cousin earlier, Bea felt that something was definitely up with Gerald.

“Not at all!” replied Gerald as he shook his head. It wasn’t a lie either since this was truly the first timeboth of them had met.

“Then why would he come all the way out here just to hand me a car? Are you sure it isn’t because ofany of the connections you know?”

Naturally, Bea wasn’t looking down on Gerald. However, she knew that his family’s situation wasn’t anybetter compared to her own. Or that’s what she thought at least.

“I wonder…” replied Gerald with a faint smile on his face.

Smacking her lips, Bea ended up smiling as well. Somehow, the more she observed him, the moremysterious he felt.

It was around noon when Bea walked out of her room before asking, “Say cousin, the gathering isgoing to be held tonight. Will you be coming along?”

At the time, Gerald was still thinking of how he was going to visit his grandmother. Hearing Bea’squestion, he turned to look at his cousin—who now had a different set of clothes on—before replying,“Is it the one we were talking about earlier?”

Just a while ago, Bea had told Gerald about a tradition the younger generation of the Yalemans usuallydid when their grandmother’s birthday was close. A yearly gathering would be held so that they coulddiscuss what birthday gifts to buy for Lady Yaleman.

While that was what they usually agreed on, in the end, all of them just wanted an excuse to go out andhave fun.

Though Gerald didn’t really have any interest in attending gatherings or parties, he knew that he stillneeded to get to know his other cousins a little better in order to smoothen the process of resolving thegrievances between his mother and grandmother.

Finalizing his thoughts, he then nodded before saying, “Alright, I’m in!”

A little while later, a group of attractive men and women could be seen sitting inside the most luxuriousbar in Yanken. All of them looked to be around the age of twenty.

“Hey, hey, have you heard that our country bumpkin of a cousin has returned to Yanken? He’s currentlystaying at Bea’s place!”

“What? Are you serious? My parents didn’t mention anything about this! Still, grandma’s birthday isapproaching soon. Do you think he’s actually come back this time to celebrate her eightieth birthday?Hasn’t she already cut all ties with their family?”

“Hah! I think he’s only using the birthday as an excuse! He’s probably trying his best to worm himselfback into our family! After all, once her birthday celebration is over, she’ll begin allocating all the family

assets and resources! His return is simply too timely to be a coincidence!” replied one of the boyscontemptuously.

“Regardless of his timing, if that’s what he’s really after, his chances are exceedingly slim. You shouldhave heard grandma scolding Fifth aunt earlier once she found out that our cousin was staying at herplace! It was terrible! Grandma’s anger doesn’t seem to have subsided at all!” said another girl.

“Speaking of which, his name is Gerald, if I recall correctly. From what I heard, at his poorest, he couldbarely even afford to eat! I remember clearly what grandma had said when she found out about thatback then. She had said to let them be before stating that nobody from the family was allowed to getinvolved with them at all!”

“Well yes, but that was a long time ago! Think about more recent times! Don’t you remember thatgrandma actually asked about how Jessica and Gerald were doing during her birthday celebration lastyear?”

“She did! She asked how they were both doing! Though we didn’t know what his sister was doing,someone said that the country bumpkin himself was studying in university!”

As everyone continued discussing the matter among themselves, the private room’s door opened andin stepped a young man accompanied by two girls.

“Ah, you’re here, Yura!”
