Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 846 “Sau… Saussureainvolucrata?” replied Lady Yaleman, her voice quivering as she continued staring atthe gift in bewilderment.
“How could Gerald possibly have gotten his hands on such an expensive and valuable thing…?”
The butler himself simply lowered his head. After thinking for a brief moment, he then said, “… There’ssomething on my mind, though I’m not sure whether I should say it, Chairman.”
“Go on!”
“From what I’ve been able to observe, Mr. Crawford doesn’t seem to be an ordinary person. Rather, heseems to exude the disposition of someone with nobility! There’s just something about the way hetalks… This may seem far-fetched, but have you considered that maybe, just maybe… Mr. Crawfordcould be the mysterious…”novelbin
“…Are you suggesting that Gerald is the Crawford family’s Mr. Crawford?” replied Lady Yaleman,greatly surprised to even hear Sheldon suggest that.
In response, Sheldon simply pointed at the Saussurea involucrate again. That alone, made LadyYaleman’s heart skip a beat.
“…How… How could that be possible? You saw how Dylan looked that year as well, right? There’ssimply no way!” said Lady Yaleman incredulously.
“Chairman, with all due respect, the Yaleman family hasn’t been having it easy in the past few years…The problem isn’t limited to our slowly declining business either. The internal fights within the family
have worsened over time as well, since quite a few parties in the family are after greater powerdistributions once you’re no longer in the picture. May I remind you that Mr. Yuma Yaleman has alsocaused a lot of trouble for the family throughout the years.”
“Even with all that happening, isn’t it strange that the Yaleman family’s business hasn’t collapsed? Itwas a few years ago when I first realized that someone must be helping the family in secret. After all,any dangers we faced were quickly dealt with and if we had to deal with any, they were usually minorincidents.”
“What more, remember what happened to the Leans? They were our greatest enemy and they werealso immensely powerful back then. However, in just a single night, their entire family fell intobankruptcy. Not only that, the Leans family was wiped off the map entirely! What exactly happened thatnight? It still remains a mystery to this very day!”
Sheldon had so much to say since he had previously kept all this to himself. After all, he was afraid thatLady Yaleman would be angry if he said all this.
Thankfully, Lady Yaleman was only frowning slightly now.
As she thought about the gift that Mr. Crawford had brought, she eventually sighed heavily as herexpression turned gloomy. Regardless of what the truth was, the present itself still cost at least ahundred and fifty million dollars.
It was the next day when Gerald looked at Bea before asking, “It’s your birthday tomorrow, right? Howare you planning to celebrate it?”
“I’ve never really celebrated my birthday all these years,” replied Bea.
“Well that’s going to change this year. After all, I’m here to celebrate it with you!” said Gerald with asmile.
Touched by his words, Bea simply nodded. From the way she was fidgeting, however, it was clear thatshe had something else to add. Despite that, before the question could leave her mouth, she stoppedherself. The question could surely wait.
Gerald, however, had already caught on.
“What? Do you want to know how I know the people from the Trustdeck Group?” said Gerald with asmile.
Hearing that, Bea shook her head before saying, “It’s not that… Rather, I’ve been meaning to asksomething else. Since you’ve already graduated for some time, I was wondering if I have… You know,a future sister-in-law…? You’re already so excellent, yet never have I seen you calling anyone thatcould be your girlfriend… While we’re at it, I think that Giya’s a beautiful girl who’s also very well-mannered!”
Bea definitely seemed much more attentive than she looked.
Gerald’s lips slowly turned into a bitter smile as he replied, “I’m not even sure where to start, but Bea,let me ask you something. Would you hate someone who failed to keep their promises? Hypothetically,if your boyfriend were to fail to turn up at a place where both of you had promised to meet, how wouldyou feel?”
“Well, I’d surely be both disappointed and also saddened! No matter how cold and aloof a woman maybe, they definitely value dates a lot! After all, a long time is needed just for them to get ready for dates!Breaking such a promise would no doubt be a major disappointment! Though, why are you asking that?Have you broken a promise, cousin?”
