Chapter 1427
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1427 ââ¦What? Who did you say you were?â said the astonished security guard.
He truly couldnât believe that this young man before himâwho was an actual pauperâwould dare to claim that he was Mr. Crawford!
While he definitely wouldnât have believed Gerald judging off his appearance alone, the guard had the shock of his life when he saw the look in the youthâs eyes.
He hadnât really been paying too much attention to Gerald earlier, but after catching a glimpse of Geraldâs gazeâwhen Gerald was staring at himâthe guard instantly felt a strong, pressuring aura from the youth.
Adding the immense oppressive feelingâGerald was capable of emittingâto his great strength, the stunned guardâwho was now feeling chill after chill run down his backâfelt more and more compelled to believe Geraldâs claim.
Even Xavia and the others had been startled the second they heard Gerald say that.
Soon after, Xavia snapped out of it before laughing and saying, âDid I hear wrongly? Who did you say you were? Haha!â
While Xavia had initially thought that Gerald was going to get beaten up, she hadnât expected him to actually be that skillful and strong! Even so, her focus still lay on what Gerald had just said. That he was actually Mr. Crawford.
Mr. Crawford was the wealthiest and most influential figure in all of Mayberry city. If he truly was Mr.
Crawford, then wouldnât that make her Mrs. Crawford? â¦No, thatâd make her the former Mrs.
Crawford⦠She couldnât just accept that!
After hearing his claim, Xavia simply felt an inexplicable sense of panic within the depths of her heart. It was obvious that she had nothing to do with this person anymore⦠So why was she feeling so afraid�
It wasnât long after when Zack finally arrived at the scene. Due to how joyful Zackâs face was as he ran toward Gerald, Gerald figured that his sister must have already explained everything to Zack. The fact that Zack instantly knew who he was must have also meant that his sister had sent a photograph of him to Zack as well.
Regardless, upon standing before Gerald, Zack instantly made a deep bow before shouting, âMr.
Crawford!â
Following that, the group of senior executives behind Zack shouted in unison, âMr. Crawfordâ¦!â
After being given the appropriate information, Zack now knew that the young man before him was Gerald, the child whom the Crawfords had raised in poverty from the second he was born!
ââ¦W-whatâ¦?!â
By that point, Xavia, Yuri, and the others were already completely dumbfounded. Yuri, in particular, could feel his face turning green as he continued staring wide-eyed at Gerald.
The pathetic pauper⦠He was actually a rich, young master? And one whom even Chairman Lyle had to bow before?!
Now breathing frantically, those from the group who had mocked Gerald desperately wanted to just drill a hole in the ground now so that they could hide their faces.
âVery good. Regardless, there are some important matters that Iâd like to discuss with you, Chairman Lyle. Letâs head over to the office to talk about this!â replied Gerald with a slight nod.
âOf course, Mr. Crawford!â replied Zack.
Just as they were about to head in, Xavia couldnât help but yell, ââ¦W-wait a momentâ¦!â
âHmm? Is there anything I could help with, miss?â asked Zack as he looked at Xavia.
âA-are you sure you arenât mistaken, Chairman Lyleâ¦? His name is Gerald Crawford, you know? And heâs a mere student from our university! How could he possibly be Mr. Crawfordâ¦?!â stuttered Xavia as she stopped Zack from proceeding any further.
âNo mistakes here. Mr. Crawfordâs true name is indeed, Gerald Crawford!â replied Zack rather indifferently.
ââ¦I-Impossible⦠None of this is possibleâ¦!â muttered Xavia as she took a few steps back.
Zackâs words had struck through her very being like bolts of lightning that brought about endless destruction, simultaneously dispelling all of Xaviaâs hopes and dreams.
Now feeling extremely regretful, Xavia found herself calling out, âG-Geraldâ¦!â
âForget it, weâve already broken up. With that in mind, thereâs no need for us to further bother with each other anymore. Now go ahead and live a good life! I have things to attend to!â replied Gerald as he ignored her regretful pleas, heading straight into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment as the rest of the people at the entrance remained fully stunned for quite a while.
Regardless, once they were inside the office, Zack immediately said, âItâs true that Mountain Top Villa is getting auctioned soon. Are you planning on buying it, Mr. Crawford?â
While this was Zackâs first time dealing with Mr. Crawford, he couldnât help but feel that the Mr.
Crawford before him was completely different from the Mr. Crawford Zack had initially imagined.
