The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1278
Huxley was now crying even harder than ever, utterly terrified about his and his familyâs fate. His family wasnât all that well-to-do in the first place, and he knew for a fact that it wasnât easy for his parents to work hard and support the family. Yet here Chairman Harell was! Ordering for his parents to come over and kneel before Mr. Lavington! The boy could only tremble in fear as feelings of powerlessness swept through him.
âLeave? You honestly think you can leave that easily? Iâll have you know that the conference is about to begin soon, so youâd best not continue wasting my time. Also, you have to call all the leaders from your school as well as all your family members over immediately. Daring to hurt my cousin⦠Youâre giving me a proper explanation for all this if you ever hope to leave!â sneered Dixon who was extremely thorough when it came to things like these.
The other students were so frightened that none of them even dared to breathe too loudly. This has turned into a rather large issue.
âDo you finally get it now, Naomi? While itâs fine to act all righteous and all, you should also know that there are some people way out of your league that you should never provoke!â declared Xeila particularly loudly, her arms still crossed.
âLeave them be. If you truly want people to come over, Iâll just ask my family to come over instead!â
said Gerald as he looked at Dixon coldly.
Gerald honestly wasnât planning on causing any trouble in the first place. He simply wanted to teach Xeila and her husband a lesson. However, since someone was now clearly trying to turn this into a major issue, Gerald wasnât against showing dealing with them the hard way.
Hearing Geraldâs taunting words and seeing how smug he looked, Dixon simply sneered, âFine then! Iâll be expecting your family to come over instead! Letâs see how great you truly are!â
With that, Gerald then began making a phone callâ¦
It was around ten minutes later when several expensive-looking luxury cars appeared before the auditorium. As everyone wondered who had arrived, their question was quickly answered when several powerful and wealthy businessmen in Mayberry stepped out of the individual cars.
âC-Chairman Lyleâ¦?â said Dixon who was so shocked that he was paralyzed in fear. Xeila herself had her jaw dropped, utterly flabbergasted by the turn of events.
Turning to look at Gerald, Dixon found himself gulping. This man⦠Who the hell even was he�
Glaring back at Dixon, Gerald then sneered, âWell, here they are! Why donât you head over to have a talk with them?â
âSo, is this the person who offended you, Mr. Crawford?â said Zack as he walked closer to the group.
The second Dixon heard that name, he almost wet himself. The hell? Mr. Crawford?!
Thinking back, Dr. Mabb did mention that Mr. Crawford was already here⦠In fact, Dixon remembered that he had even invited Gerald to sit with him at the VIP area! To think that the person he had offended was none other than Mr. Crawford in the flesh!
By this point, Dixon was so shocked that he couldnât even catch his own breath.
As for the others who had been standing around witnessing everything, they quicklyâand respectfully âstood aside the second they knew who Gerald truly was.
Gerald himself simply led Naomi and the rest of her students back to their initial seats.
Watching as the group sat down, the terrified Xeila said, âT-to think that that man was actually Mr.
Crawfordâ¦! Who knew Naomi had such a strong person backing her up?!â
Before she could say another word, Dixon slapped her right in the face!
âYou⦠You b*tch! Youâve really got me into deep trouble this time!â roared the embarrassed Dixon extremely angrily, feeling like he could kill Xeila right here and now!
Even so, all of them knew that this was simply a minor hiccup for Gerald. Whatever the case was, Dixon already knew what kind of end he was going to face.
Though Dixon remained shocked by all this for quite a while, the conference simply proceeded as planned.
Fast forward to two hours later, Jaceâwho had definitely heard about all that had happenedâquickly ran over to Gerald before saying, âI⦠Iâm so sorry, Mr. Crawford! To think that you almost suffered injusticeâ¦! Still, that Dixon Harell⦠He truly was asking for it!â
âItâs fine. The situationâs been dealt with anyway. Speaking of which, did you make the arrangements with Master Nacol?â asked Gerald.
âI have! Heâs currently waiting for you in a private room, Mr. Crawford! I actually came over just to lead you to him!â replied Jace.
