The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 964
Just like Tulip, the woman was very beautiful, and both of them resembled each other a lot. However, Gerald could see that while Tulip had a more innocent look to her, the woman, in contrast, looked much more mature.
âThatâs him, sister!â said Tulip with a soft tone as she pointed at Gerald.
Hearing that, she scanned Gerald briefly from head to toe before nodding slightly.
Following that, she grabbed her bag and got up to leave. While Gerald did intend to at least greet her, she completely ignored him.
Once she was gone, Tulip smugly said, âThat was my elder sister, Juliet Yowell! What do you think? A beauty, isnât she? Hah! Even if you deny it, I saw how wide your eyes were the moment you saw her!â
Nodding slightly, Gerald simply replied, âSo tell me, what did you want to meet me for?â
âWell, itâs something good so of course I had to tell you in person. Actually, scratch good, itâs great news!â said Tulip before sighing.
âThe truth is, Iâve been looking for someone suitable for the longest time. At long last, Iâve finally found you to be the perfect candidate!â added Tulip.
âPray tell what exactly Iâm a perfect candidate forâ¦â
Hearing that, Tulip simply chuckled before saying, âAlright, so before anything else, let me just say that what youâre about to hear will be extremely shocking. If you end up dying from excitement, donât say I didnât warn you!â
Taking in a deep breath, she then continued, ââ¦So you see, my sisterâs been looking for a live-in son-
in-law for a while now⦠And after searching for so long, you seem to be the most suitable candidate for the job!â
ââ¦I beg your pardon? Me? A live-in son-in-law?â said Gerald as he immediately stood up, wide-eyed.
âHaha! I know, right? I was surprised that my sister agreed with it as well!â replied Tulip happily. Tulip had clearly mistaken Geraldâs surprise for excitement, which explained why she was feeling so joyful.
ââ¦Alright, letâs slow down for a bit. First of all, your sisterâs extremely beautiful, so Iâm sure she has many admirers. Whyâs she only looking for a live-in son-in-lawâ¦?â asked Gerald, his resignation evident in his voice.
âItâs a long storyâ¦â said Tulip with a sigh before detailing everything.
Basically, after Gerald had saved her, Tulip got scolded by her family the moment she arrived home.
However, after being scolded by her father, an idea came to her.
To understand that idea, Tulip had to explain why she ended up going to Bloomlin Mountain in the first place. In short, she had been in a very bad mood recently. Though Gerald failing to get them into the laboratory was the last straw for her, it was far from the actual source of her annoyance.
The main issue, as Tulip explained, had been regarding an incident relating to her sister whom she had a very good relationship with.
According to Tulip, upon Julietâs return to her homeland recently, she had been taking things extremely terribly due to issues pertaining to a broken heart. Juliet was simply upset all the time, and she was almost completely different from the sister Tulip used to know. Things got so bad that at one point, her sister even considered committing suicide!
It was the reason why Tulip had been so worried and easily angered at the time.
As for why Juliet had a broken heart in the first place, she had initially been studying abroad in M country. During her time there, she had a boyfriend and both of them were in love for a good many years.
However, she eventually found out that that sc*mbag had already been engaged to another person!
When she suggested that he marry her instead, he was actually hesitant about doing so!
Understanding at that point that his heart never belonged to her in the first place, Juliet took things extremely badly and immediately returned to Heavenly City in great fury!
Before dumping him, out of spite, Juliet even said word for word, âSince youâre so hesitant about being with me, fine then! Since you think so highly of yourself, Iâll just find the most worthless man on the planet to be my husband! Youâll regret ever making me feel this way!â
Upon returning, she had asked for Tulipâs help to locate such a person. Essentially, the perfect candidate would be someone who was worthless, but honest.
Fast forward to the present, as she said, she got the idea that Gerald was perfect for the role as her father scolded her.
Once her father was done, she immediately sought out her sister and told her all about Gerald.
As Gerald attempted to register all that he had just heard, Tulip replayed the earlier conversation she had had with her sister in her mind.
Back then, Tulip had found Juliet staring out the window. Running up to her excitedly, Tulip had said, âIâve finally found the perfect person for you, sister!â
âWho is he?â
âWell, heâs a new lecturer of mine whom we all call Teacher Skitterbrook! Heâs also the one who saved me today, so I can say for sure that heâs an honest man. To be quite frank, he doesnât look bad either.
What do you think? Should I ask him out once heâs done with work today? By doing so, youâll be able to have a good look at him! If things go well, then you can get married to him and have your revenge on that sc*mbag! Heâll certainly be pissed since my lecturer clearly has no advantages to him! Haha!â
âI see⦠Alright then, please ask him out tonight. Once I get a good look at him and if things go well, weâll sign the contract so that heâll be my husband for a year. Once that year is up, Iâll reward him accordingly. With the reward money, Iâm certain that heâll be able to live his life without any more worries till the day he dies.â
âAlright! Just leave everything to me!â
