Chapter 807
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 807
At the time, Yulia had felt that Dylan was quite mysterious. After all, while the shabbily dressed boyâ
who looked quite weak back thenânever fought back whenever he was bullied or scolded, he was always capable of doing things well beyond everyoneâs expectations.
While in the beginning, Yulia cared for him mostly out of pity, eventually, both of them fell in love with each other, not unlike how Gerald and Milaâs relationship began.
However, the Yaleman family was the leader of four large families in Yanken at the time.
Even though her husband had passed on, Geraldâs grandmother, Lady Yaleman, was able to make the Yaleman family even stronger than before. It was because she was the kind of person who was particularly strict when it came to managing the family.
Despite that, even she had a shortcoming, which was what Yulia hated about her mother the most.
Lady Yaleman was a person who strongly valued the opinions of men, yet considered females, in general, to be of lesser importance.
Within the Yaleman family, females would never be given important positions, no matter how hard they worked. Only the males in that family would be given the most advantageous properties to handle.
In a way, she was very traditional-minded, and it wasnât uncommon for a person with such views to value men over women.
Back then, the Yalemans had agreed with their business partnerâwithout Yuliaâs consentâthat Yulia would marry their son in exchange for starting a business partnership. The decision was made simply because their business partnerâs son was the richest heir around at the time.
Since Dylan was still keeping a low profile back then, nobody knew that the wealthiest person was actually from the Crawford family.
In retaliation, Yulia ran away from the wedding and eloped with Geraldâs father.
However, that incident alone wasnât the reason why both the Yalemans and the Crawfords ended up resenting each other so much.
Rather, it was because Yuliaâs escape had been facilitated by her Fifth brother who had treated her well from her childhood days. As his final brotherly act, he took the blame for the entire incident.
Not only was he severely punished by Lady Yaleman, he was also disowned!
Eventually, the Yalemans started bearing grudges against their business partner as well.
A few days after the incident happened, Dylanâs poverty training finally ended. Immediately after that, he had wanted to meet up with the Yalemans to seek justice for the Fifth brother.
However, Dylan was far too late. During the few days, the Fifth brother had been brutally assaulted. By the time Geraldâs parents found out, he had already been left bedridden in a vegetative state.
The one who caused so much pain to him was the Yalemanâs business partner. To them, he was the one who had humiliated their family.
The moment she found out, Lady Yaleman immediately blamed Yulia for all that had happened. She even publicly announced to the media that she would disown her!
Yulia herself felt that her mother was being way too cruel. After all, she was the one who had kicked Fifth brother out of the family without a second thought!
All that led to the grudges Yulia and her mother held against each other for all these years. It was the reason why Geraldâs parents never paid the Yalemans a visit.
However, his parents were responsible for the disappearance of the Yalemanâs business partner. It was their revenge after what they had done to Fifth brother.
It was why there were only three large families in Yanken now instead of four.
âWhat happened after that?â asked Gerald, realizing now that his parents had gone through so much more than he had at his age.
âWell, after that, my and your father secretly took care of your uncle. However, it was around ten years ago when your grandma took your uncle back to the Yaleman family!â replied Yulia between sobs.
âSo you see, son, youâre the only one who can talk to her now after all that has happened. Only your grandma will be able to persuade the Moldells, and if you succeed, your action will be seen as a great contribution to the Crawford familyâ¦â said Dylan.
âI understand!â
âSpeaking of which, since youâre already heading to Yanken, you might as well meet up with your cousin, Bea, your fifth uncleâs daughter. Between us, Iâve secretly been supporting her all these years but regardless, with her help, things should go smoother for you. While your grandma is quite the stubborn woman, I believe that she wonât treat you too cruelly. I need to warn you, however. No matter how terribly your grandmaâs treated me in the past, youâre prohibited from being disrespectful to her!â
Hearing that, Gerald realized how much his mother must miss her. No matter how much they hated each other, in the end, they were still family.
âLoud and clear!â
