The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 131
After saying that, Gerald walked up to the car to take a look.
He would be lying if he said that he wasn’t distressed at the sight of his broken car at all.
Moreover, what could he possibly do now? What has happened, has happened. Plus it was Mila’s grandmother’s birthday
banquet today.
If he demanded them to pay for the damages incurred, what would it make Mila look like?
Besides that, it was also have been too embarrassing.
Out of no choice, he was left to bottle his bitter sufferings in silence.
And with that, Gerald could only ask them to carry on whatever they were doing. He could perhaps later on drive his car to the
4S shop to fix the damages.
“Who do you think you are? Do you think that everything will be okay just because you say that it’s okay?”
“Those who don’t know any better would actually think that you are actually Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street.
Let’s only talk about all these when you finally reach that point in life!”
“Exactly! If we leave right now, then this will definitely be treated as a hit-and-run case. Adding on to that, we’ll have to bear a
very huge responsibility because this would be a case that costs so much money! How can you have no legal consciousness at
all!”
A group of Mila’s cousins, aunts and uncles immediately began mocking Gerald.
Irene grabbed this opportunity to add to the flames, “He is just a country bumpkin who does not know anything at all. So, how
can you talk about legal consciousness with him?”
“Right okay, let’s not talk about him anymore. He can’t be of any help anyway. We might as well use all of our efforts to see if we
can use any of our connections to resolve this matter instead.”
Rita glanced at Gerald faintly before she fixed her attention back to the topic of the car.

“Rita is right. Since it has already happened, escaping is not a solution. Ah! If we really have no choice, then I will contact Mr.
Logan from the Bureau of Commerce. Back then, your grandfather had a very close relationship with him. Perhaps, he might
know the identity of this young man!”
The old lady replied.
Many people started whipping out their cell phones to call their own contacts.
Kenneth did not want to be outdone. He wanted to see if he could use his connections to find out more about the owner of the
car.
Gerald shook his head wryly.
If this continued, everyone would be placed in a very awkward situation.
Ugh!
Gerald sighed before he took out his car key.
Beep! Beep!
Two beeps.
The lights started flashing.
“Ahh?”
All of them were taken aback.
They then saw Gerald slowly walking forward.
He pressed a button again.
There were two buzzing sounds.
The Lamborghini made a mechanical sound and the sunroof opened automatically, as it folded into a kind of roadster.
Gerald picked up a bottle of mineral water from the driver’s seat.

He was really thirsty.
After taking a few mouthfuls, he wiped his mouth before he said, “I’ve already told you, that it’s no big deal. You can go and get
busy with your own plans.”
No one replied to Gerald at all. Instead, he was greeted with a pin-drop silence.
Smack!
Kenneth was just about to make a phone call when his cell phone fell to the ground because he did not hold it firmly in his hand.
Glup!
Kyle and his girlfriend could only swallow their saliva.
Irene started breathing rapidly as her mouth gapped slightly, indicating the intense shock she was feeling at that very moment.
Rita was standing next to Gerald. A confused look ran all over her face before she slowly looked at Gerald in surprise.
The old lady was also stunned.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
“This car...belongs to Gerald?”
No one knew who broke the silence first.
More so, that person who spoke out captured everyone else’s inner consternation with much precision.
Mila was also very surprised and she asked, “Gerald, this car is yours?”
“Of course, it is mine. Didn’t I tell you earlier that I’ll be bringing you out for a drive one of these days?”
Gerald replied.
Mila remembered now.
It was the day of the driving test. When Gerald was sending her back to her dormitory, he said that he would drive her around in
a luxury car soon.

Back then, she replied that she would be waiting then!
And as for Gerald, he then told her that he was actually a rich second generation.
To that statement, she playfully responded, “Mr. Crawford, I would be waiting for that day to come.”
Mila was simply joking around to play along with Gerald’s joke back then.
Who would’ve thought that seeing Gerald open his Lamborghini sports car’s door right in front of her eyes, Mila felt as though
she was dreaming.
“Gerald, is this car really yours? I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!!”
Irene finally came to her senses and she felt her cheeks were sore and started acting up hysterically.
Gerald, you are nothing but a pathetic jerk. A pathetic jerk who won a small prize.
How could you possibly afford to buy such an expensive car?
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 132
Two million six hundred thousand dollars!
What kind of status was this?
Impossible!
Irene rushed over to the car before she unceremoniously flipped out the car driving permit.
“Snap!”
Upon looking at the permit, Irene froze as she dropped the car driving permit to the ground.
She was dumbfounded.
“If you don’t want to look at it, just don’t look at it. Why do you have to throw it on the ground?”
Gerald could not help but smiled wryly.

“Some people do not have any knowledge or experience. Likewise, her father and mother too. They do not have any knowledge
or experience in this at all. Gerald, why don’t you tell auntie how you met our Mila?”
Helen quickly ran over to pick up the car driving permit before glancing at it. She then grabbed Gerald’s wrist the next
immediately second..
She started acting very cordially as though she was holding her own son’s hand.
“Oh, auntie. We met when we were learning how to drive!”
Gerald replied.
“Hahaha. I knew all along that our Mila has such good taste. In fact, I already knew that you were not just a simple man when I
first saw you, Gerald. How can those people such as Quinton or Victor possibly be compared to you?”
“Umm...”
These words put Gerald in an awkward spot.
After all, who was that person who drove him out of their house in the past?
“Yes, Gerald. Cough. Cough. I am so sorry about this matter. Our Mason crashed into your car and damaged it!”
The old lady’s tone drastically changed, it was more pleasant and caring.
She walked towards Gerald with a smile on her face.
She was really shook to the core because of this incident.
But, it then turned out that the owner of this luxurious car was actually her grandson-in-law.
Aside from a handful who still couldn’t comprehend the fact that Gerald was indeed a local tycoon, everyone else started to open
up and speak to Gerald.
Since he was in a hurry to go and repair his own car, Gerald didn’t bother waiting but was getting ready to leave even before the
birthday banquet was over.
“Gerald, I’ll be heading to school later in the afternoon. Why don’t I accompany you to repair your car then?”

Mila asked playfully.
What a day. Both experiencing shocks and also a pleasant surprise.
To sum it up, she was filled with inexplicable excitement.
“Of course! After all, I told you that I’d bring you out for a ride. Get in!”
Although it was an important birthday banquet, the fact that Mila was able to go out with Gerald felt like the best gift to the old
lady.
They then took off together.
“Gerald, are you really a rich second generation? So you’ve been lying to me all this while? Wait a minute, don’t tell me that
you’re really the top young master, Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street?”
Mila shot off curiously as she perched in the passenger seat.
Gerald did not know how he should answer her questions.
He was indeed the Mr. Crawford that they had been talking about.
Was he really going to fully disclose his own identity? This could only end up with one result. He would not be able to stay in this
school any longer.
Because of that, Gerald decided to hide it.
He shook his head and asked, “So are you hoping that I’m Mr. Crawford, or are you hoping for me not to be him?”
“Not! Because if you really are Mr. Crawford, then you’ll not belong in the same world as us anymore. I will lose a good friend like
you then!”
“Hehehe. I am not. Besides that, how can someone like Mr. Crawford possibly be driving a car that is only worth one million five
hundred thousand to three million dollars? And also, just take a look at me! If it weren’t for you who picked out my clothes and
matched it for me, I wouldn’t be wearing such nice clothes!”
“I simply won the lottery. I won a lot of money!”

Gerald replied as derailed.
“Hmph. That is also true. So, you are still my good friend, Gerald!”
Mila replied with a bright smile.
Gerald then realised that although Mila was someone highly intellectual, she would never think about the complexity of a
question.
If it was any other girl, she would definitely be pestering him to get to the bottom of the matter.
However, Mila did not question him any further after finding out that Gerald was not Mr. Crawford.
To her, it was the same, regardless of whether Gerald was rich or not.
Gerald had sent his car to the Lamborghini shop and Wilson helped arrange for the most professional technician to repair his car.
Once that was settled, Gerald went for a walk with Mila.
“Let me buy you a cup of milk tea,” Gerald flashed a tiny smile. The both of them spotted a milk tea shop by the roadside as they
were walking.
“Haha, you don’t have to! Remember that I still owe you a cup of milk tea? Plus, it’s me who asked you to pretend to be my
boyfriend today. So, I owe you!”
At the mention of milk tea, Mila couldn’t help but think of the first time they met.
She was already walking towards the milk tea shop as they were conversing.
Gerald remained silent and he simply waited for Mila. A cup of milk tea was probably not enough to repay the debt that she owed
him!
Gerald was waiting by the side of the road when he suddenly heard a cry for help.
“Help! Help!”
Gerald turned around and he saw that the Mayberry City’s moat was not too far away. A woman was yelling frantically.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 133

Gerald felt his heart skip a beat when he heard the cry for help.
He hastily rushed over.
The moat was pretty desolate as there were no parks or anything else nearby.
The woman was crying and she was drenched from head to toe.
When she saw Gerald, she almost collapsed to her knees. “Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please help save my daughter!”
The woman was beautiful and appeared to be wearing a lot of fine jewelry. It seemed as though she was quite a figure.
She hurriedly pointed at the river and Gerald could see a young girl flailing about in the water.
Her daughter had obviously tripped into the water. The woman tried to rescue her daughter but she could only plead desperately
for help as she didn’t know how to swim.
Gerald watched in horror as the young girl’s body slowly stopped moving and started sinking.
He knew that it would be way too late if he did not act upon it now.
Without thinking twice, he dove into the river at an accelerated speed.
Gerald’s family used to live in a village in a small county town. There was a river by the village and Gerald learnt how to swim
ever since he was a young child.
Fortunately, the water in this moat was not too deep.
Thankfully, the young girl knew some basic swimming skills which made it easier for Gerald to save the young girl, but the
experience she went through was simply daunting, though without any serious mishaps.
After he carried the young girl up, the child choked a little and her face was flushed red.
Her mother was so distressed and she kept patting her back gently. She kept thanking Gerald profusely.
“Call 120 first!”
“Yes, the child is too young. Oh! What kind of mother are you? How can you allow your child to come to the water all by herself?”

Several citizens ran over as soon as they heard the commotion.
Some were making phone calls while several older women started criticizing the young mother.
“Don’t accuse my mom. Uncles and aunties, please don’t scold my mom. Tessa is the one who insisted on coming here to
release my wishing boat. This has nothing to do with my mom!”
As soon as the young girl heard her mother getting ridiculed, she cried out in defense as she tried to explain herself.
“What an obedient child!”
“Yes, she is really a good young lady. Ma’am, you have to take good care of your child. If this man did not rush over here on
time, the consequences would have been disastrous!”
“This young man is quite amazing!”
A few citizens who were standing at the side looked at Gerald who was completely drenched, with a look of admiration on their
faces.
The mother hurriedly hoisted a weak Tessa over as slowly walked over to Gerald.
“Young man, thank you so much. What is your name? Where do you live?”
She asked for his address as she wanted to thank Gerald.
It was too obvious for Gerald to not know the intention of her query. All he did was save a person. Gerald believed that most
people would have done the same to save a person in such a situation.
He simply waved it off.
“It’s alright. You should take your daughter to the hospital quickly!”
Gerald turned around to leave as he replied.
“Big brother, will I see you again?”
A weak Tessa asked.
She felt as though she was this close to death and was shaken to the core.

But there Gerald was, who jumped in to save her without any hesitation at all. This was the sole reason why she wanted to see
him again.
“Yes!” Gerald did not want to let the young girl down. After smiling at her, he ignored the young mother who was still calling out to
him and he left right away.
This was probably one of those once-off encounters anyway.
Gerald hurriedly ran back to the side of the road.
By now, more than twenty minutes have already passed.
Mila should have already bought her milk tea a long time ago.
When he got to the side of the road, Mila was nowhere in sight.
Hmm?
Shouldn’t she have already bought the milk tea after such a long time?
He quickly took out his cell phone and glanced at it. It was dripping wet as it had been completely soaked in water. The cell
phone had also been turned off.
Could it be that Mila already went back to the car shop since she could not reach him on his cell phone?
Gerald went to the milk tea shop and looked around but he could not find her there.
He had no choice but to return to the car shop first, but attempted to switch on his phone before that. Thankfully, it worked.
Wilson suddenly called him at the same time.
He wanted to tell Gerald that his car had already been repaired.
It was not difficult to replace all the damaged parts of the car, under the intensive care of a few experienced technicians in less
than forty minutes.
“By the way, Mr. Wilson, did the girl who came with me just now return to the car shop?”

“Ahh! No? She didn’t come back here again after she left with you. Is there a problem, Mr. Crawford? Did something happen?
Just let me know if something happened.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wilson. No worries, everything is fine.”
Gerald felt a little puzzled after hanging up. This was strange. Where could Mila have gone?
It was impossible for her to go home. She would not have gone home alone just because she could not find him.
She wasn’t anywhere nearby to be found and she was not at the car shop either.
Where could she have gone?
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 134
Gerald looked around everywhere but he could not find her at all. Plus, his phone had died again.
In just about an hour of searching, he was now drenched in sweat.
Mila came out with him. Could something have happened to her? Gerald had already ruled out all of the possibilities and had
already been waiting around the area for such a long time.
But he still couldn’t see Mila anywhere at all.
The more he thought about it, the more Gerald started to break out in cold sweat.
Gerald decided to return to the car shop to see if he could get his cell phone to turn on.
After fiddling with it for a while, he finally managed to turn on his cell phone.
As expected, Mila did indeed make many phone calls and sent many text messages to him.
However, his cell phone had been turned off at that time.
Gerald hurriedly returned her call but he realized that Mila’s cell phone was already turned off.
What was happening?
Gerald couldn’t remain his composure any longer.

He tried calling Mila’s house but he noticed that she did not go home either.
Something definitely had happened.
Gerald suddenly raised his head.
Things seemed to be a little suspicious.
“Mr. Wilson, do you know the manager of the milk tea shop? I want to take a look at the surveillance camera recording! We need
to hurry!”
Gerald immediately got up.
Wilson stuck by Gerald the entire time after he came back to the car shop.
When he realized that Gerald’s girlfriend might be in trouble, he was constantly on his toes.
Wilson nodded as he exclaimed that he knew the manager. He quickly led Gerald to the milk tea shop.
After looking at the recording of the surveillance camera, Gerald starting figuring it out slowly.
Everything happened about two hours ago.
After Mila bought the milk tea and stepped out of the shop, she realized that Gerald was gone.
She then hurriedly tried to call Gerald but discovered that Gerald’s cell phone was turned off.
Mila was very anxious.
She squatted by the roadside as she waited for ten minutes, but Gerald did not come back at all.
During those few minutes, a black Passat suddenly stopped right next to Mila.
A young man with a cap stepped out of the car.
“Are you Mila?” the young man asked with a smile.
Mila nodded slightly as she said, “And you are?”

“Oh, oh, I am a cab driver sent here by Gerald, or Mr. Crawford. He asked me to come and pick you up. He had to leave earlier
because he had an emergency at home. He asked me to come to send you back to Paradise Ville!”
The man who was wearing a peaked cap smiled as he explained.
He then turned around quickly to observe his surroundings as he looked carefully towards the direction of the moat.
“Oh, thank you. I will give Gerald a call again. Why is his cell phone turned off I wonder?”
Unassumingly, Mila did not have any doubts because the man knew of Gerald’s name and he even knew hers.
Mila did not know what Gerald’s family was doing but since he left in such a hurry, then something must have come up. He called
for a car to send her home because he must be worried about her.
In addition, this man knew that she lived in Paradise Ville. Looking at all these right signs, Gerald must be the one who told him
this.
Mila had no doubts about these.
However, Mila was still feeling a little uneasy because she could not contact Gerald at all.
She tried calling again several times but she could not get through his cell phone at all.
“Miss Mila, are we leaving? I still have to pick another customer up!”
The driver urged.
“Oh, I am leaving! You can send me home first!”
Mila got into the car because she didn’t want to make the other party wait any longer.
She felt a little angry with Gerald. Why? Why did he leave just like that? He did not even bother to call her at all.
Did he think that she would not be able to call for a cab herself?
About ten minutes after the car left.
Gerald walked over to the milk tea shop in his wet clothes.

“Stop! Rewind the screen! Zoom in on the driver’s face!”
Gerald yelled when he saw this.
The owner of the milk tea shop did not know who this person was but he did not dare to reject a request as such since a
manager like Mr. Wilson was also treating him with so much respect.
He followed Gerald’s instructions and he rewound the video before zooming into the driver’s face.
Gerald stared at the driver’s face carefully.
The brim of his cap was pulled down low and there was slight stubble around his mouth.
Despite that, Gerald could still recognize the person.
It was him?!
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 135
Nigel!
As Gerald zoomed into the screen and fiddled about for a bit, the person shown in the picture was none other than Nigel from the
Fisher family. No matter how much Nigel tried to disguise himself, he would never be able to fool Gerald because of the smile
that he always had on his face.
From the start, Nigel was the trigger and the direct cause of Gerald and Xavia’s breakup.
Moreover, when they went over to the Emperor Karaoke Bar after Naomi’s birthday party, Nigel has also been keeping tabs on
him. Out of anger, Gerald called Zack for help, to teach Nigel a lesson.
The moment his sister found out about this matter, she simply did not just teach Nigel a lesson. Instead, she made the entire
Fisher family go bankrupt.
At last, Nigel was taken away at the entrance of the Mountain Wayfair Entertainment.
Ever since that day, the Fisher family was completely destroyed. They had to hand the Grand Marshall Restaurant over and the
restaurant was now managed by the Ziegler family instead.

Just like that overnight, Nigel turned from a rich second generation into a pauper.
In addition to that, he already turned out this way before he even knew what was happening.
But now...why was Nigel kidnapping Mila?
Gerald was baffled.
Was he simply kidnapping her to blackmail them for a sum of money?
However, when he looked at the situation, it did not seem that way.
He had obviously told Mila something and he finally convinced Mila before she agreed to get into his car.
Gerald also noticed another detail.
When Nigel was talking to Mila, his eyes were constantly looking towards the direction of the moat where he had been.
It was as though he knew and was worried that Gerald would suddenly come back.
Did this mean that Nigel had already been planning this for a long time? Was he kidnapping Mila because of him?
If Nigel found out later on that his family was completely ruined because of him, then it would certainly make sense for Nigel to
retaliate against him.
No matter what it was, what Gerald was most certain of was that Mila was in danger. Extreme danger!
Gerald thought hard about the countermeasures.
At that very instant, Gerald’s cell phone suddenly rang.
It was from an unknown number.
“Hehehe. Gerald. Oh wait, that’s not right. I should call you Mr. Crawford instead. Do you remember me?”
An indifferent and arrogant voice crackled through from the other end of the call.
“Nigel, it is really you!”
Gerald immediately recognized the voice as soon as he heard it.

“That’s right. How unexpectedly, a big shot like you would actually remember someone like me. Hahaha. This feels like a drama
indeed. Gerald, back then, everyone simply thought that you were nothing but a pauper. But what? You are actually the wealthy
and influential young master who owns the entire Mayberry Commercial Street? I used to think that my dad was really bullish but
he was just working for you all along! If it wasn’t for me who heard Zack secretly making a phone call to you when I was planning
to retaliate against him, I would never have imagined that you were the one who destroyed my family with just one phone call!”
“But, Mr. Crawford, why do you have to hold it against me when you are already so rich and powerful? Yes, I was the one who
asked Yuri to snatch your girlfriend from you. It was wrong of me. But then, you destroyed my family and you left me with nothing
at all! Don’t you think you were being too cruel?”
Hearing this, Gerald replied, “You know I did feel that I was being a little too cruel and heartless at that time, but now I do not
think so anymore!”
“Nigel, whatever it is, this is between the both of us. Mila is innocent. Let her go. I’ll come to you wherever you are now and I’ll
agree to any of your terms or conditions!”
“Hehe. Gerald, you are really a pompous ass! You were my main target. I originally planned to hit you with my car so that the
both of us can die together! On a second thought, it felt too boring. What more, I have such a beautiful young woman next to me
right now. This is really worth it! So Gerald, she’s your girlfriend? Do you want to listen to her voice now?”
“Gerald, you must not come here! He is a lunatic!”
“Don’t come! Sob...sob...”
Mila cried and yelled over the phone.
Gerald grew extremely anxious.
Although he was simply pretending to be Mila’s boyfriend, Mila was still out with him today.
The reason why Nigel kidnapped Mila was because he wanted revenge on him.
Everything was all because of him.
“Gerald, if you want to save your girlfriend, then you should come and see me at the unfinished building in the south of the city.
Do not contact Zack. It will be useless anyway. If anyone else comes, then I will just perish with your girlfriend! Come and see
me within an hour!”

“Du...du...du...”
Nigel hung up as soon as he was done speaking.
Gerald grew pale.
It seemed as though he had guessed everything correctly. His identity had been leaked and he had attracted Nigel’s attention.
And look where this brought him, Nigel who was already mentally unsound is now launching a revenge against him.
Gerald was certain that this guy would be capable of doing anything now.
Looking at the situation, it wouldn’t be enough to rely on his own strength to resolve this matter.
He had to look for Zack so that he could help him to come up with a solution.
Gerald quickly called Zack and filled him in. Zack took this matter very seriously.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 136
Zack even urged him repeatedly to wait for him so that they could discuss things further when he arrives.
He told Gerald not to act rashly. Zack couldn’t afford to see Gerald lose it at this point.
If that happened, then Zack would have to resign. No, worse still he’d rather die.
Gerald hung up before Zack could even finish talking.
He hurriedly returned to the car shop with Wilson. He then told Wilson to wait for Zack to come here.
He said that he had to leave first.
“Oh! Isn’t that Gerald?”
“Oh my! It is really him! What is he doing in the Lamborghini car shop?”
“I heard that the store is recruiting some sales representatives at the moment. Is he trying to apply for the job? Doesn’t he know
that the shop has very high requirements for their sales representatives?”

“Yes, look at him. Even if he really won the lottery, he still has a very poor temperament. It makes people sick to even just look at
him!”
Gerald’s presence was unexpected.
And he could already hear were their ridicule that was directed at him.
Gerald was feeling just all messed up inside. He simply glared in their direction.
It was Quinton and his classmate, Howard. The both of them each had a beautiful girlfriend with them as they looked at the cars.
To make matters worse, the two who were following behind were none other than Nathaniel and Quinn from the same faculty as
him back in university.
“Hahaha. Speaking of the devil! Cousin, you told me that Gerald had turned things sour for you in the past. You should have told
me that the person was him then I would have told you all about his story!”
Nathaniel laughed as he spoke to Howard.
“That’s it. It’s not just you, cousin! In fact, I have also been fascinated by Gerald for quite some time!”
Quinn had already gotten together with Nathaniel at this time. She got to know Howard through Nathaniel and then, she naturally
got to know Quinton too.
Her horizons did not just expand a little.
A while back, when she was eating with Victor and the others, she found out that Gerald was really rich.
Initially, Quinn was very tempted by the prospect and she even took the initiative to try and gain his favor. She was even ready to
bring Gerald to open a room and spend the night with her.
Gerald ignored her completely and Quinn was indulged in the thought for quite some time.
It was only until much later when she received an invitation to attend a party from Nathaniel. That was when Quinn met Howard
and Quinton and she felt as though she had just stepped into a brand new world.
Was this what a real rich second generation community was like?

As for Gerald who had just won the lottery, he was nothing more than an ugly and disgusting sideline!
Quinton stared coldly at Gerald the entire time.
He then said, “Perhaps he had already finished spending almost all of his money. That is why he is so desperate to look for a job
right now. Hahaha. Let’s not be bothered about him anymore. Let’s continue talking about this Reventon!”
All of them surrounded the newly repaired Lamborghini Reventon as they savored it inch by inch carefully.
All Gerald could think about was Mila, he was very worried and anxious. So, how could he possibly be bothered about them at
all?
He didn’t even have time to pay any attention to their cynicism.
Beep! Beep!
Two beeps.
Gerald pushed Quinn away from the car door and stepped into his car hurriedly.
He then revved up the engine and zoomed out of the shop immediately.
Quinton was stunned and Quinn, who was about to curse at Gerald, was also caught off guard.
In short, all six of them were dumbfounded as they continued staring.
Gerald just drove the car away? This was Gerald’s car?
Ahh!
How could that be possible?
Quinn felt as though she had just been slapped across her face. “Look! That man just stole a car!”
Quinn shouted.
“Give instructions that our shop will be closed today. All employees who have worked for less than five years will be on vacation
and they can leave immediately. Some of Mr. Crawford’s important subordinates will be reaching anytime soon!”

Wilson did not pay any attention to Quinn or Quinton but he simply gave his instructions to his secretary.
The secretary got to work immediately.
Quinton and the rest of them were still standing dumbfounded at this time.
“Brakeee!”
Suddenly, a burst of emergency brake sounds screeched from outside the shop.
Over a dozen Rolls-Royce Phantom had already lined in front of the entrance of the car shop.
At that moment, Zack stepped out of the car before dashing right into the shop...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 137
”Zack? Uncle Zack!”
Quinton was surprised when he saw Zack here. He could see the expression on Zack’s face at that time and he did not dare to
go forward to say hello to him.
Quinton also had not fully regained his senses and composure from the shock he witnessed just now.
“Mr. Lyle!”
Wilson greeted him immediately.
“How are things? Where is Mr. Crawford?”
Zack hurriedly asked.
“Mr. Crawford has already gone over there first. He’s afraid that he’d be too late!”
Wilson hurriedly said.
“Ahh! That is not good. Hurry, take me to the place that Mr. Crawford is headed to. No matter what, nothing bad can happen to
Mr. Crawford today!”

As Zack spoke, he was already calling his men as he walked out of the door. Concurrently, Zack also sent a text message to
Gerald first before carefully taking out a machine with a red button and pressed it...
Quinton, Quinn and the others were all stunned.
“What? Crawford...Mr. Crawford?”
How could they not have understood what this meant? The Mr. Crawford that Zack was referring to seemed to be none other
than Gerald!
Gerald was Mr. Crawford? Mr. Crawford was Gerald?
Everyone was shocked. How could they not have heard of the infamous Mr. Crawford’s name on Mayberry Commercial Street?
His great name had already been the talk of the town at this point.
No one thought that this would be possible...
Yes! When Gerald walked into the car shop, he looked very anxious. Moreover, even though they were taunting him, Gerald
ignored them completely and he simply drove away.
And the Lamborghini Reventon.
That was Gerald’s car!
If they had thought about it again, Gerald hosted a banquet in one of the most expensive rooms in the Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment.
He had been extremely extravagant.
How could they have not known? Gerald was that Mr. Crawford!
Quinton almost sat down on the ground.
He was still in disbelief and he asked the sales consultant at the side:
“Is the Mr. Crawford that Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lyle are referring to, called Gerald Crawford? He owns the car that he drove off just
now?”

The sales consultant nodded before he replied, “Yes, don’t you know him?”
He felt a little weird as he asked the last question.
After all, he had been very surprised that this group of people actually dared to talk to Mr. Crawford in that manner. He initially
thought that they were possibly even more powerful compared to Gerald. As a result, they did not even know anything about Mr.
Crawford’s identity at all!
“Oh my god!”
Quinton was utterly stunned at this moment.
Quinn had an even more strained expression on her face. The person that she despised and looked down on, was actually
someone whom she could never even be compared with?
At that very instance, Quinn and her group of friends were clouded by a lot of feelings and they really just wanted to disappear
and die.
“You know what, why don’t we go and take a look? Perhaps, there are two people with the same names?” Howard and Nathaniel
stuttered almost simultaneously.
They were clearly still in self-denial and couldn’t face reality just yet.
“Okay, I agree!”
“I agree!”
“Hurry up! Otherwise, we will not be able to catch up with them!”
Quinton wiped away his cold sweat before he hurried off to get his car with Howard.
On the other hand, Gerald was stepping on his accelerators like a madman.
He even ran through a dozen red lights.
Not long after, he finally arrived at the unfinished construction site as Nigel mentioned.

It was already barren and there were only a dozen floors built in this building before the project was abandoned because of some
issues with the foundation.
The intersection of the downstream branches of the moat at Mayberry City was directly behind this block of buildings.
It was a very rapid river.
The foundation of this building was originally quite a distance away from the surface of the river. However, due to soil erosion,
the water bank was almost directly below the building now.
Hence, it had become very dangerous and they had to stop the construction of this building.
Gerald had seen this place in the news before.
“Gerald, I did not expect you to come so soon!”
A voice suddenly echoed from the top of the building. It was Nigel, who was looking down at Gerald from a peak.
Gerald was filled with anger and remained silent. Instead, he simply dashed to the top of the building.
Nigel was still wearing a peaked cap but this time round he seemed to look much darker. He was also undoubtedly a lot stronger.
He wore a scraggly beard and looked rather barbaric.
Mila was right next to him. Nigel had bound her up tightly and he even sealed her mouth with a duct tape.
“Woo...woo...woo...”
Mila shook her head frantically as she stared at Gerald. She was trying to yell, why are you so silly?! What are you doing here?
Hurry up and leave!!
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 138
”If you let her go, I’ll give you as much money as you want!” Gerald said firmly.
“Hahaha. Money? Gerald, do you really think that money can solve everything? Let me tell you something. I hate money now!
And of course, you Gerald, are even more despiteful than money! I don’t want anything else other than your life right now!”

“This might not seem like the most show-stopping method, but it doesn’t matter as long as I am happy and satisfied! Gerald, Mr.
Crawford! When I was having a chat with your girlfriend earlier, I realized that your girlfriend does not know about your true
identity at all!”
Gerald felt that the person that he was looking at right now was a complete pervert who had already lost all his senses and
rationale.
The Nigel who used to be extremely wealthy, arrogant and domineering had always enjoyed trampling on other people.
But the absence of money has really triggered him to go to an extreme measure.
“Mila, let me tell you something today. The person standing in front of you is not an ordinary man. He is the wealthiest person in
Mayberry City. No, he could even be considered the wealthiest person across the whole country. The entire Mayberry
Commercial Street belongs to him, Gerald!”
Mila’s eyes widened in bewilderment as soon as she heard this.
She had already been making her own assumptions before this, but she really did not expect it to be true.
With that being said, Gerald had been the one helping her family all these while!
“Nigel, I’m seriously advising you to let her go now. If you let her go, I can offer you a sum of money. Otherwise, you will definitely
regret it!”
“Regret? Hahaha. Gerald, I used to think that I could do anything as long as I have money but right now, I am going to show you
that money is not everything! It is impossible for me to let her go today! I am going to let you watch her die before your own
eyes!”
Once he was done speaking, Nigel went completely out of control.
He grabbed Mila and attempted to ditch her down the building.
“Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!”
A loud roar suddenly pierced through the sky.
Nervous and stressed, Nigel’s eyes widened as he looked hysterically.

Even Gerald was also caught by surprise.
Around twenty to thirty helicopters appeared out of nowhere outside the building.
The helicopters then began surrounding the entire building.
They quickly ejected large and condensed nets simultaneously.
It was quite a spectacle.
If anyone were to look at it, it was obvious that if anyone had jumped off the building, they would only fall directly onto the safety
net.
“Gerald! You...!”
Nigel almost vomited a mouthful of blood after watching this scene.
Money was not everything. Nigel finally understood this statement.
He wanted to use these words to prove his point to Gerald, who was the top rich second generation.
But it was beyond his expectations that Gerald could actually do this?
More than two dozen helicopters? It has only been about twenty minutes since Gerald arrived and it has only been about forty
minutes since he called Gerald.
How did he mobilize so many helicopters?
Even if he jumped down now, he would only fall onto the net. He could not die even if he wanted to!
Gerald was also shocked.
He did not expect the text message that he received from Zack to be so useful.
“Mr. Crawford! Do not be impulsive. You just need to delay him for thirty minutes. Just thirty minutes and everything will be fine!”
Zack had always been a very capable and steady person.
There was no reason for him to lie at such a crucial point of time, so Gerald naturally believed him.

More than forty minutes have passed since Gerald arrived.
Gerald was not a soft-hearted person!
But when Zack said that everything would be fine, he really did not expect him to send twenty helicopters over here.
Gerald was shocked by such a commotion.
“Ahh!”
Just then, the dumbfounded Nigel screamed out loud and he fell directly to the ground as his body shook uncontrollably.
His eyes were flushed red as he could only glare at Gerald with a discontent look on his face.
A helicopter then landed on the rooftop as Zack hurriedly jumped out of the helicopter.
“Mr. Crawford, you must have suffered quite a fright!”
Zack hurriedly exclaimed.
He was really quite in shock.
Despite that, Gerald quickly untied and freed Mila first.
Approached Zack, he asked, “Zack, were you the one who mobilized all these helicopters?”
Gerald was surprised.
“Yes, I used the family’s special support resources. I was afraid that you would’ve suffered an accident or something worse
today, Mr. Crawford. That being said, Mr. Crawford, I really think that it is about time that you found out about your family’s true
potential and power! Consider this my last act of service for you!”
Zack replied with a sad smile.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 139
Gerald and Mila were successfully rescued without suffering any mishaps. As for Nigel, he was taken away and handed over to
the authorities.

Downstairs.
Quinton and Howard had already driven everyone with them to the scene.
They were all even more shocked when they saw what unfolded before them.
All they could do was stand still on the spot.
Was this Mr. Crawford’s power?
Twenty dozen helicopters!
“Zack, what do you mean by that? You last act of service for me?”
Gerald was completely taken aback by Zack’s last sentence.
He wanted to find out more about his own family but it seemed as though Zack was already bidding farewell to him.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford. This machine is a special support grade instrument that is used to support the family. I was worried about
you today and that is the reason why I made use of the special resources. Even though all of those helicopters were all quite a
distance away from Nigel, as long as he tried to do something, he would have been subdued immediately. This group of team
members have already formulated and came up with no less than ten solutions for your current situation!”
“But because I activated the special resources, this also means that I have been seriously negligent! Therefore, I will be forced to
hand in my resignation!”
Zack said dejectedly.
However, there were no signs of regret on his face at all.
Gerald felt extremely bad about this entire situation.
After all, putting everything into account, all of this started because of him.
What his sister said at the beginning was right. If he were to trample on someone, then he would have to trample on the person
to the point that he would not even be able to stand up again.
He did not understand this at that time.

However, this incident was the best proof.
He did not completely resolve the matter involving Nigel. After Nigel found out about his identity, he began to retaliate against
him by acting irrationally.
Although the matter involving Nigel has already been resolved now, he still felt a little traumatized when he thought about it. If he
had not been able to stall some time, then Mila would have suffered an innocent death because of him!
No matter what it was, Zack still got implicated in this matter and he had been forced to resign.
“Zack, it is okay, I will talk to my sister about this!”
Gerald replied.
Coincidentally as he was speaking, Gerald suddenly received a phone call from his sister, Jessica.
“Brother, how are you? You must be extremely shocked!” Jessica’s concerned voice pierced through the other end.
“Sister, how did you find out about this matter so soon?”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You have already called for the special support so how can I possibly not know about
this? You should be more careful and cautious when you handle your affairs in future!”
“I got it. By the way, sis, can Zack be allowed to stay? After all, he was only trying to save me.”
Gerald immediately asked.
“Impossible! He did not complete the task that I assigned to him. According to the rules of the family, he would have to resign
and leave immediately! He has the responsibility to save you, even if he has to give up his life to do so!”
Jessica replied in a hostile tone.
Zack, who was standing by the side, could hear Gerald’s conversation. While he was very grateful towards Gerald, he was not
angry hearing Jessica’s words and was still very respectful towards him.
Yes. Everything that he has today was given to him by the Crawford family. Moreover, the Crawford family were also the ones
who saved his life in the past and brought him up to where he is today.

Even so, he did not fully fulfill the responsibility of protecting the young master of the Crawford family.
He did not fully eliminate all the potential threats.
This was a serious breach of responsibility on Zack’s part.
“Well, even if I cannot use Zack anymore, if you are willing to take him in, you will be able to get him to work for you directly then.
The family rules do not state that you can’t rehire a person!”
Jessica seemed to understand the guilt her younger brother felt because Zack was going to lose his job because of him. Hence,
she came up with an idea for him right away.
“Really?!”
Gerald was ecstatic to hear this.
“Yes, but the premise is that you will have to be running your own business. Otherwise, he will not be able to come back to work
for the Crawford family! After you set up your own company, you will be able to ask Zack to stay and work for you or help you if
you want him to!”
“That’s perfect!”
Gerald finally resolved the feeling of self-blame and guilt that was clogged inside.
At the same time, Zack was feeling exceptionally grateful towards Gerald.
“Mr. Crawford...”
He had so much that he wanted to say, but only two words could come out. Nevertheless, Zack meant it from the bottom of his
heart!
Mr. Crawford really did not have to do this. It was not necessary at all, but Mr. Crawford was actually going all out for someone
like himself.
Zack really did not know how he would be able to repay this debt!
From now onwards, Gerald would be Zack’s direct boss!

As Zack trailed behind Gerald, he started telling him about some of his family matters.
“Gerald, there are some people who were snooping around downstairs. We have already caught them. What should we do
now?”
A man clad in black came over.
“Alright then. Let’s go over there and take a look!”
Gerald nodded.
Downstairs.
“Let us go! We are Gerald’s classmates. You cannot kill us!”
Nathaniel cried as he pleaded out loud.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 140
The scenario just now was just too much to comprehend and he was really afraid that this group of people would really kill them.
“Exactly! Do you know that I nearly became Gerald’s girlfriend? How dare you treat me like this?”
Quinn also shrieked.
When they saw the group of respected people who were clustering around Gerald earlier at the top of the building, they were
already extremely shocked.
Quinton and Howard fell silent throughout the whole time as their faces were pale with fear.
“Let them go...”
Gerald said as he walked down.
“You heard him! He asked you to let us go!”
Quinn shouted.

Gerald was really the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street. He was the Mr. Crawford who owned the entire Mayberry
Commercial Street. He was simply too amazing!
This whole surprising reveal was just too shocking!
Quinn was about to reach her maximum limit!
“Gerald! Gerald! I always knew that you were different compared to them. I was wrong in the past. I always wanted to get your
attention and that is the reason why I used to mock you in the past. In fact, I was only doing it because I liked you but you did not
like me at all!”
Quinn kept trying to flatter Gerald as she rushed in front of him.
Gerald felt goosebumps creeping all over his body as soon as he heard her words.
Fuck! This kind of explanation was simply too cringy, right? She had always been taunting him and mocking him because she
wanted to get his attention?
“Mr. Crawford!”
Quinton, Howard and both of their new girlfriends were all suddenly respectful towards Gerald all of a sudden.
How respectful were they willing to be?
It is to the point that anything Gerald would request of them to do, they would be willing to do it completely!
He could do and say as he pleased, just like those big shots in the movies.
But at that instance, there were flashes of evil thoughts briefly through Gerald’s mind.
After all, deep down, Gerald had never been the kind of domineering person.
“Mr. Crawford, what do you plan to do with them? You can take necessary measures when it is necessary!”
Zack hinted him from aside. After all, Gerald’s identity has already been exposed to these few people!
“No, no, no! Mr. Crawford. Ahh! No, I mean Gerald, you are still the pathetic pauper, Gerald. We don’t know who you are and we
have already completely forgotten everything that happened today!”

Quinton was always the smartest amongst the lot.
He immediately caught on and understood what Zack meant.
He spoke in a hurry as he knelt down in front of Gerald with a loud thud.
“Yes! We don’t know that you are Mr. Crawford!”
Howard and Nathaniel also quickly jumped in.
“It would be best if you could just forget everything that happened here today. Otherwise, there will definitely be more trouble for
you in the future,” Gerald said briefly, before he turned around and left.
These people were already acting this way, so Gerald could not possibly get rid of them all just because his identity has been
compromised.
They eventually got through this daunting experience anyway without any mishaps. Zack was also then talking to Gerald about
some of his family matters in private.
He only gave him a general outline but Gerald found out that the Crawford was a very wealthy and powerful family that has been
passed down for hundreds of years. They also had countless industrial assets in their possession!
This resulted in the Crawford family having many rules and steps in inheriting the family, and its assets were even more
cumbersome.
For instance, the first test was when Gerald had to live in poverty for more than ten years!
Gerald would have to face even more complicated tests in the near future and Zack urging Gerald to be fully psychologically
prepared for these challenges.
...
Gerald sent Mila back home later on before driving back to school again. He stopped his car not too far away from the school
gate.
Many pretty girls cast their gazes on him.
Some of them were even screaming out loud.

Gerald had already gotten accustomed to all these.
To be honest, Gerald felt that he was quite a scumbag at this rate. Yes, he was indeed rich now but showing off in front of
everyone like this still made him feel very uncomfortable.
To put it bluntly, no matter how much Gerald had changed, he could not change his low key and down-to-earth character and
personality.
However, it was not the case if he had to drive this luxury car to go everywhere in future.
It seemed as though he would have to buy himself a house in Mayberry City.
This way, he would be able to park his car in the house and it would be very convenient for him, regardless of whether he wanted
to start his own company or do something else in future.
Most importantly, he would be able to go to class, rest and live a normal campus life as he wanted to, every day!
Gerald could not help but think about all this as he sat in the driver’s seat.
Suddenly, a piece of news exploded in the class’s group chat.
“Shocking news! Look at this! This is simply too shocking!”
“Image!”
“Image!”
“...”
A student from their class posted all the pictures that he had taken inside the group chat!
