Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 842 Yura had asked that question in his sheer disbelief.

“That’s right! To think that she had even claimed that it was because of Gerald’s connections… Howdoes he even know such high ranked people? How is any of this possible?” grumbled Ysabelenviously.

After being humiliated like that, they were sure that everyone was now looking at the two families withmocking gazes.

Rose herself was now thinking of how Gerald had withdrawn a million dollars just the day before. Shealso recalled what Yura had told her about Gerald’s clothes.

Adding that to the fact that she had now seen, with her very own eyes, that Gerald had the capability topull strings from within the Trustdeck group, she was extremely certain that he was no ordinary person.

“Hold on a minute!” interrupted Rose while Ysabel and her mother were still exchanging envious wordsin their annoyance.

“Could it be that we’ve not investigated Gerald’s background thoroughly enough? Is he actually not apauper at all? How else could he have such extravagance? That would explain why he has so manypowerful connections as well!” said Rose in a serious tone.

Upon hearing that, everyone fell silent. After all, nobody wanted to believe it. However, reluctant asthey were, the truth was evident.

“…I… I refuse to believe that! It simply isn’t possible!” declared Second aunt as she shook her headwildly.

“Indeed! We don’t believe that either!” added Yura and Ysabel simultaneously.

After that, Rose went silent for a while. Since she was so used to being slick, her ability to conceal heremotions was so great that nobody could guess what she was thinking during her momentary pause.

Eventually, however, Rose cupped her hands over her mouth in shock as she realized somethinghorrifying.

Seeing her reaction, even Yuma and Yura felt terrified.

“M-mom? What’s wrong?” asked Yura immediately.

“There’s no need to be so flustered, sister-in-law! Perhaps Gerald simply helped Chairman Zelly in thepast! If that truly happened, then the chairman could very well just be repaying the favor to Gerald! Thatpossibility isn’t out of the question, right?” suggested Second aunt.

Hearing that, Rose’s eyelids twitched as she shook her head before saying, “Have you forgotten aboutthe present Lady Yaleman received today? The one that cost a hundred and fifty million dollars?”

“You mean the present given by the mysterious Mr. Crawford…?”

The moment that name was mentioned, silence temporarily engulfed the room again.

“…That’s right… Mr. Crawford is definitely from the Crawford family and Gerald has that surname too…Could… Could it be that Gerald’s actually Mr. Crawford? If he is, then everything makes a lot moresense now!”

The conjecture alone was sending chills down Rose’s spine.

While there wasn’t an immediate reply from anyone, everyone had unpleasant expressions on theirfaces.

“That’s… That’s simply impossible!” shouted Second aunt.

“For now, let’s refrain from making any more wild guesses, aunt. Instead, let’s just wait for Bea. She, forone, definitely knows more about him than any of us here. Besides, if she fails to get the projects,everything will become clear. Until then, we have no way of proving that Gerald is actually powerful,”added Ysabel.novelbin

“That’s true. Fine, we’ll just wait for Bea to return!”

It was about forty minutes later when Bea finally returned. This time, however, she had five documentfiles in hand.

Her aunt and the others had been waiting for her at the door this entire time and once they saw thecontracts, they were so shocked that they immediately called out, “Bea!”

“You… You’ve signed all those?” asked Rose incredulously.

“I have! I now have five major projects from the Trustdeck group that spans from this year to the next!”replied Bea excitedly.

‘Let’s see you try bullying me and my mother again from now on!’ Bea thought to herself.

After saying that, she immediately began walking away without even bothering to look at theastonished crowd.

“Stop right there!” shouted Rose.

“What do you want?”

“Humph! Don’t think you can act all smug just because you’ve gained a few projects! Regardless, I’dlike to ask about Gerald. How does he have so many strong connections? And how on earth did heeven manage to get acquainted with Chairman Zelly in the first place?”
