The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 326
âSister, whatâs up?â
âBro, are you busy? A butler and a few of my subordinates are landing at Mayberryâs airport soon.
Could you please find someone to pick them up? Iâve arranged some other tasks for both Zack and Michael to deal with. Theyâll be needing a living space as well, so please find one for them!â
âAlright, no problem,â said Gerald as he nodded to himself.
This was actually the first time Gerald had been in contact with his family for a long time. He heard his sister chuckle.
âIâll be there the day after tomorrow. We can meet up then, just brother and sister!â Jessica smiled after saying that.
Gerald had missed her too.
After talking for a bit, Gerald finally hung up.
Since both Zach and Michael were busy, it was best that Gerald didnât disturb them.
âWho could I assign the task to?â He scratched the back of his head as he thought.
After a while, he decided to just leave the restaurant since Felicity and the others were there anyway.
He concluded that it would be best to just pick them up himself since they were his sisterâs butlers.
Nodding to himself, he re-entered the restaurant and told Naomi that he was busy, so he left directly.
âGerald seems to be quite busy!â said Xyleena sarcastically.
âI graciously invited you to a meal today and you claim that youâre busy? How dare you!â thought Xyleena to herself.
âIâm sure heâs just feeling pressured to be here, being as poor as he is. Speaking of which, Brian. We saw a handsome white-haired guy yesterday. What position does he hold?â asked Yvonne at that moment.
âHonestly, Iâve been curious as well. You keep talking about a handsome white-haired person in a Maybach, but judging from your description, itâs quite impossible that such a person is from our police team,â replied Brian somewhat awkwardly.
The more he heard from the girls, the more Brian felt that something was off. The police team certainly did run a big mission the night before.
The mission was big enough to the point where there were even rumors that superiors from the province came to investigate as well.
During the commotion, Brian had received a call from Xyleena, claiming that her cousin had been kidnapped along with three other girls.
The report was far too similar to the case which they had been handling the night before.
Brian told her not to worry and said that the police would take immediate action.
However, by the time he arrived at the spot with his large team, the criminals had already been caught.
The hostages had even been rescued, and had long left the scene.
Given his rank, he was not allowed to look too far into the matter.
It felt strange to him to be sharing that meal since he knew he hadnât done anything much to save them.
All he knew at the moment, was that there were two groups of people who had participated in the girlsâ
rescue mission.
He was only there in time to clean up the mess.
âEh? He isnât from the police team? I suppose so⦠It does seem quite impossible for a policeman to be driving a Maybach,â Yvonne responded, puzzled.
âSo what youâre saying is that you werenât the one who saved us, Inspector Merrall?â asked Cassandra in shock. âWhy was it so difficult to get to the bottom of this trivial matter?â
âTechnically speaking, no, we werenât. By the time we got to the scene, you had already been saved.
You girls had even left at that point!â explained Brian as he smiled.
He only shared some rough details with them. All they needed to know was that he hadnât really done much to save them.
âSo after all that talk, weâre back to square one. Who was it exactly that came to our rescue?â All four girls were stunned again.
At that moment, Felicityâs phone rang.
âYes? Who is this?â
âGood day, miss. Iâm part of the customer service from the Rex Suit Flagship Store. You bought a suit from us yesterday. However, your boyfriend came last night to buy another of the exact same suit. We only had a smaller one in stock, but he insisted on buying it. A few suits his size have arrived today and we were wondering if he would like to exchange the suit he bought last night for this one. Weâre calling you because he was in such a hurry last night, we werenât able to get his contact information.â
âBoyfriend? Ah, you mean Gerald. Heâs not my boyfriend. Why did he even buy two suits?â Yvonne asked aloud, utterly confused.
Cassandra had heard the conversation as well and was equally shocked.
âThat means⦠The suit we found in Geraldâs room yesterday wasnât the one that Felicity had bought for him. He fooled us! But why did he? So⦠The coat we found in the car last night⦠It really was his?â
Without warning, Cassandra began screaming.
