The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 971
âI got it, mom. Still, isnât the Royal Dragon Groupâs boss rather mysterious? After all, he was able to rise up the ranks in Heavenly City so quickly! The boss must be extremely extraordinary! Also, from what Iâve heard, heâs been unwilling to participate in many occasions⦠It makes me wonder if such a powerful figure would actually want to participate in our familyâs event in the first place!â replied Tulip.
âUpon returning to the country, Iâve heard matters regarding the Royal Dragon Group as well. Rumors say that the Royal Dragon Group is packed with extremely fierce and tough subordinates. They also say that the boss of the group is a very young man with extremely vague origins! Would you happen to know anything more about them, mom?â asked Juliet who had also been curious for a while now.
After all, to think that the boss of the Royal Dragon Group was actually at the same age that she was!
Juliet was also greatly interested in finding out what he actually looked like, as well as how he had acquired such great abilities to the point where people actually willingly submitted to him.
It certainly wasnât out of the ordinary for girls to admire such capable people, and Juliet was no exception to that.
âIâm not too familiar with him either⦠While the Yowells did send someone over to the Royal Dragon Group to congratulate him during their opening ceremony, in the end, the boss himself didnât participate in his own opening ceremony!â
âRegardless, Iâm certain that heâll attend our auction this time. After all, very few people are able to resist the allure of the Ginseng King. Once the Royal Dragon Groupâs boss has arrived, I want both of you to be on your best behavior! You know, if heâs interested in either of you, then the Yowells truly will be the overlords of Heavenly City in the future! The Westleys can just beat it by then!â replied Heidi with a smile as she crossed her arms.
âIâm already married, mom!â grumbled Juliet as she frowned slightly.
âNonsense! What sort of marriage even is that? Donât think Iâm unaware of what youâre trying to do by marrying such a wimpy guy! Iâm telling you ahead of time that what youâre doing is useless! Also, the divorce happens as soon as the event is over! Stop being an embarrassment to the family!â growled Heidi as her face turned slightly red in anger.
Before she could continue bad-mouthing Gerald, a voice called out, âOur teacher is actually pretty good, Aunt Sachs! He was the one who saved Tulip, after all!â
Turning to look at the owner of the voice, it turned out to be Specky as he and Tulipâs other friends backed Gerald up.
âYouâre all just kids, so what would you know? Love and gratitude are two completely different matters you know?â replied Heidi.
At that moment, one of Tulipâs classmates shouted, âYouâre here, teacher!â
True to the studentâs words, Gerald was slowly walking over to the group of people. He had earlier been making arrangements for the guestrooms after being instructed by Juliet to do so. Now that he was done, he had decided to come over.
âI guess youâve all come over to have fun since the universityâs closed for the next few days,â replied Gerald as he smiled with a subtle nod.
âThatâs right, teacher!â said Specky and a few others as they all laughed.
âPfft! What utter trash! Trying to put on airs here! Just have a good look at yourself! If it wasnât for Juliet, would you even be able to witness such an event with your own eyes?!â scowled Heidi as she poked Geraldâs chest with a finger.
Heidi was really trying to make it a point that she was extremely upset with her daughterâs decision to marry this wimp. After all, she had made it clear to Juliet before that her son-in-law had to at least be a reputable figure!
Just as she was thinking about that, Heidi heard a female voice saying, âHello, Madam Sachs!â
Facing the direction of the voice, everyone present saw a group of people walking over to them. The leader was a beautiful, long-haired woman who was dressed in a professional suit.
Her group seemed to have attracted quite a bit of attention by the time they finally stood before Heidi.
âOh, itâs you, Miss TakenaMeiko! I apologize for not greeting you earlier!â replied Heidi with an instant change in mood as she smiled at Meiko.
âItâs alright, Madam Sachs! You seemed to be busy earlier so I didnât want to disturb!â said Meikoâwith her rather inarticulate attempt at speaking the local dialectâas she glanced at Gerald. After looking at the earlier reprimanded man for a brief moment, she nodded toward him before smiling subtly.
The Japanese womanâs smile was truly beautiful. After all, whenever she did so, her lovely eyes would curve into the shape of two breath-taking crescent moons that simply gave off a warm and pleasant vibe.
âMy apologies! I was simply lecturing one of my naïve servants! Youâre not getting in the way of anything at all! Still, you must be exhausted from your journey all the way from Japan! Iâll immediately arrange for a guestroom for you to rest in!â replied Heidi rather awkwardly.
âA servant? I remember you mentioning something about a son-in-law, howeverâ¦â said Meiko as she fiddled with her hair.
