The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 328
âMr. Crawford is indeed, extremely handsome. However, you shouldnât say such nonsense when you meet Mr. Crawford later, Dorothy. Control your rashness as well. Miss Crawford may adore and spoil you, but what if you accidentally anger him? I may not be able to help you then! You know how much of a temper you have.â
âAlright. You know, Iâve asked around and learned that though Mr. Crawford is a rather reserved person, heâs a wicked man inside! He appears to have several wives!â The girl stuck her tongue out before grinning.
âYou naughty girl! Iâm slapping you if you say that again! Where did you hear that from?â
âItâs true! Almost all the youths living in Northbay talk about it. Iâve also heard that heâs a promiscuous man who has gotten several women pregnant here. Itâs said that whoever offends him will end up becoming pregnant so Iâm quite afraid of him!â said Dorothy as she patted her belly.
âI can see that those ignorant kids are indeed done for! How could they spread such baseless rumors about Mr. Crawford? Truly preposterous! Dorothy, Miss Crawford has told me that Mr. Crawford is an extremely kind man. Those kids are just gullible rumor spreaders. Nonsense, all of it. You had better stop talking to them!â
âMiss Crawford is his elder sister. Sheâll praise him no matter what he does!â
âThatâs quite enough you naughty girl! Keep your mouth shut!â Mr. Kendall said extremely angrily.
It was then when they noticed that Gerald was standing behind them, his face flushed. He had silently exited the limousine and circled around it while they were talking.
He was certainly unable to introduce himself now after hearing all that she had said.
âHow and where the hell did these rumors sprout from?â
âAh, good day little brother. My apologies, my granddaughter here doesnât know much about Mr.
Crawford. Donât worry, she has no real intentions of condemning Mr. Crawford. Might you be Mr.
Crawfordâs chauffeur?â asked Mr. Kendall as he smiled.
The butler knew that he was Mr. Crawfordâs subordinate and as Mr. Crawford was the heir to the Crawfords, his status was definitely higher than Jessicaâs.
Even if he was just a mere driver of Mr. Crawford, his status was definitely not a low one.
With how loud Dorothy was speaking, the chauffeur had no doubt heard every word of it.
Sadly, there were just too many people in the family who gossiped about him.
Some claimed that he was a humble and reserved man. Others shared tales that he was instead, a promiscuous man. While plenty were there to praise him, plenty more were bold enough to mock him.
It was inevitable that he would be gossiped endlessly about, especially since he was the future heir of the powerful Crawfords.
ââ¦Huh? Oh, no⦠No, Iâm-â Gerald ended his sentence early, a sheepish smile on his face.
Gerald had indeed heard everything Dorothy had said, and he couldnât bring himself to reveal his true identity.
âPeople are claiming that I make women who offended me pregnant? As if I could ever do that! If that were the case, then all the women in Mayberry University would already be pregnant since all of them constantly mock me!â
Things would certainly become awkward if he told them who he really was at this point.
While he was thinking to himself, the girl yelled, âThatâs great! Since youâre his driver, you must be familiar with this place. Bring me to a place that serves special food in Mayberry. Since youâve been here for a while, you should definitely know where the best food is, right?â asked Dorothy excitedly.
âOf course!â
In truth, Gerald had never actually enjoyed any of the special food in Mayberry. He definitely couldnât afford any of the meals here in the past.
Dorothy laughed in glee. âThen itâs settled! Take me to one now!â she shouted.
âThatâs quite enough, Dorothy. Stop acting so rashly. If the driver takes you food hunting, whoâs going to drive the car?â Mr. Kendall said, a defeated smile on his face.
âHumph! Drake and Tyson are already with you, grandpa! Iâve been looking forward to this day for so long. Please let the driver accompany me. Itâll be my treat today!â
âPlease agree to that. If you donât, Iâll tell Mr. Crawford every single rumor Iâve heard about him once we meet. Then Iâll tell him to get me pregnant too! Humph!â shouted Dorothy.
Mr. Kendall sighed. This granddaughter of his was uncontrollable. Shaking his head, he smiled as he said, âI give up. Little brother, how about this. We should be able to find Wayfair Mountain Entertainment from where we are now. Weâll go by ourselves. Meanwhile, could you please accompany my granddaughter and take her to someplace fun? Iâll explain the situation to Mr. Crawford in person later.â
âI can do that,â said Gerald as he scratched the back of his head.
He sighed internally. At first, he had wanted to meet up with people from his family properly.
Unfortunately, that wasnât going to happen, seeing how poor his reputation and image already were to them.
âYou say youâre going to meet me, but Iâm taking Dorothy out food hunting. Who exactly are you going to meet?â
âThis is getting too convoluted, I might as well just reveal my identity now.â
âActually Mr. Kendall, Iâm-â
âItâs him!â
At that moment, they heard a female voice outside the airport. It sounded like the voice of a person who had finally found someone they had been looking for after a long ordeal.
âLiara, who is that?â
âHumph! Mr. Rye, heâs the one who beat me and Aiden up! Heâs the reason why I had to be admitted into the hospital! You said you were going to take revenge for me after you returned to our homeland.
Here he is now!â shouted Liara excitedly, her eyes almost bulging and bloodshot.
Behind her, was a group of suited bodyguards. There were several luxurious black Mercedes-Benz cars parked at the exitâs opening as well.
Standing right beside her was a man wearing a pair of sunglasses. A man who had attracted the attention of endless numbers of girls. It was none other than William.
âD*mn it! Are you sure thatâs the guy Liara?â
William then threw his sunglasses to the side, glaring at Gerald coldly.
