Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 971 “I got it, mom. Still, isn’t the Royal Dragon Group’s boss rather mysterious? After all, he was able to riseup the ranks in Heavenly City so quickly! The boss must be extremely extraordinary! Also, from whatI’ve heard, he’s been unwilling to participate in many occasions… It makes me wonder if such apowerful figure would actually want to participate in our family’s event in the first place!” replied Tulip.

“Upon returning to the country, I’ve heard matters regarding the Royal Dragon Group as well. Rumorssay that the Royal Dragon Group is packed with extremely fierce and tough subordinates. They alsosay that the boss of the group is a very young man with extremely vague origins! Would you happen toknow anything more about them, mom?” asked Juliet who had also been curious for a while now.

After all, to think that the boss of the Royal Dragon Group was actually at the same age that she was!Juliet was also greatly interested in finding out what he actually looked like, as well as how he hadacquired such great abilities to the point where people actually willingly submitted to him.

It certainly wasn’t out of the ordinary for girls to admire such capable people, and Juliet was noexception to that.

“I’m not too familiar with him either… While the Yowells did send someone over to the Royal DragonGroup to congratulate him during their opening ceremony, in the end, the boss himself didn’t participatein his own opening ceremony!”

“Regardless, I’m certain that he’ll attend our auction this time. After all, very few people are able toresist the allure of the Ginseng King. Once the Royal Dragon Group’s boss has arrived, I want both ofyou to be on your best behavior! You know, if he’s interested in either of you, then the Yowells truly willbe the overlords of Heavenly City in the future! The Westleys can just beat it by then!” replied Heidi witha smile as she crossed her arms.

“I’m already married, mom!” grumbled Juliet as she frowned slightly.

“Nonsense! What sort of marriage even is that? Don’t think I’m unaware of what you’re trying to do bymarrying such a wimpy guy! I’m telling you ahead of time that what you’re doing is useless! Also, thedivorce happens as soon as the event is over! Stop being an embarrassment to the family!” growledHeidi as her face turned slightly red in anger.

Before she could continue bad-mouthing Gerald, a voice called out, “Our teacher is actually prettygood, Aunt Sachs! He was the one who saved Tulip, after all!”

Turning to look at the owner of the voice, it turned out to be Specky as he and Tulip’s other friendsbacked Gerald up.

“You’re all just kids, so what would you know? Love and gratitude are two completely different mattersyou know?” replied Heidi.

At that moment, one of Tulip’s classmates shouted, “You’re here, teacher!”

True to the student’s words, Gerald was slowly walking over to the group of people. He had earlierbeen making arrangements for the guestrooms after being instructed by Juliet to do so. Now that hewas done, he had decided to come over.

“I guess you’ve all come over to have fun since the university’s closed for the next few days,” repliedGerald as he smiled with a subtle nod.

“That’s right, teacher!” said Specky and a few others as they all laughed.

“Pfft! What utter trash! Trying to put on airs here! Just have a good look at yourself! If it wasn’t for Juliet,would you even be able to witness such an event with your own eyes?!” scowled Heidi as she pokedGerald’s chest with a finger.

Heidi was really trying to make it a point that she was extremely upset with her daughter’s decision tomarry this wimp. After all, she had made it clear to Juliet before that her son-in-law had to at least be areputable figure!

Just as she was thinking about that, Heidi heard a female voice saying, “Hello, Madam Sachs!”

Facing the direction of the voice, everyone present saw a group of people walking over to them. Theleader was a beautiful, long-haired woman who was dressed in a professional suit.

Her group seemed to have attracted quite a bit of attention by the time they finally stood before Heidi.

“Oh, it’s you, Miss TakenaMeiko! I apologize for not greeting you earlier!” replied Heidi with an instantchange in mood as she smiled at Meiko.

“It’s alright, Madam Sachs! You seemed to be busy earlier so I didn’t want to disturb!” said Meiko—withher rather inarticulate attempt at speaking the local dialect—as she glanced at Gerald. After looking atthe earlier reprimanded man for a brief moment, she nodded toward him before smiling subtly.

The Japanese woman’s smile was truly beautiful. After all, whenever she did so, her lovely eyes wouldcurve into the shape of two breath-taking crescent moons that simply gave off a warm and pleasantvibe.

“My apologies! I was simply lecturing one of my naïve servants! You’re not getting in the way ofanything at all! Still, you must be exhausted from your journey all the way from Japan! I’ll immediatelyarrange for a guestroom for you to rest in!” replied Heidi rather awkwardly.novelbin

“A servant? I remember you mentioning something about a son-in-law, however…” said Meiko as shefiddled with her hair.
