Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 251
“I’m really sorry for being late, aunties!”
“Don’t be! It’s okay, child!” Harriet smiled at Elena and glared at Gerald while judging him from top to toe.
“Nice to meet all of you!” Gerald greeted them politely.
“You must be Gerald!” Harriet said as she folded her arms. She already had a first impression of him.
He was dressed very casually. Even though he looked decent she could tell that he was from a small village with no fashion sense! Harriet shocked her head. She would never allow someone like him to be his son-in-law! She would not just insult him but also give him a few slaps!
“Hi!” Harriet greeted him back.
“Hah! Haven’t seen you in a while and you still look the same!” Ruby said rudely.
The other cousins turned to their own boyfriends and shook their heads at them.
How could their cousin find someone like that?
That fashion sense was so bad!
Gerald just smiled lightly.
It seemed like Amber had not mentioned anything ever since she went back! Though he really wished that she had mentioned something to her family!
“The car is ready, aunties. Let’s get in the car and go look around first!” Gerald was still smiling.
“The car is ready? Why, you’re already talking like the car is yours!” Ruby could not stand it when she saw Elena was holding onto Gerald’s arm tightly. She immediately pulled her away unhappily.
There were two luxurious cars to bring them around Mayberry. After they got onto the car, they were ready to leave for the attractions.
“What do you plan to do after you graduate, Gerald?” Harriet asked with a fake smile on her face.
As they were on their way, they started chatting and the conversation landed on Gerald.
“Maybe some of my resolutions!” Gerald answered in a very blunt way.
“What?” Elena cousins laughed and their boyfriends shook their heads.
Since Elena’s cousins had brought along their boyfriends, they must compete with one another.
Before this, they all heard that the prettiest among them, Elena had found herself a boyfriend. They all brought their own boyfriends to make some comparisons.
The three sisters were nervous at first. But now, they were not pressured at all! They did not even see Gerald as an opponent.
“You? Your own resolutions? You’re so naive!” Harriet shook her head speechlessly. This child was way too arrogant.
“Aunt, it’s good that he has such a mindset. But again, after graduating you should gain some experience first before you could venture into the business world!” The boyfriend of the youngest cousin said.
Since he was the youngest, he should have called Gerald a big brother but he did not and it showed how much he disrespected him.
“Pierre is right. This is what someone with a big business empire would say. Will you be working at your father’s company?”
“I’ve thought about it!”
“I wouldn’t work with my father. I’m ready to venture!” Elena’s second cousin’s boyfriend spoke.
“Felix is right too!” Ruby laughed as she said, “It seems like both my nieces have found themselves good husbands! Now I’m just worried about Amber and Elena. When will they find someone like Felix?”
“Um, auntie, Gerald is still here.” Elena’s second cousin was trying to cover her own laughter.
“Haha! Him?”
Chapter 252
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 252 They could not stop talking and Gerald almost threw the drinks at them.
He saw that their drinks were finishing and he decided to get up to get more drinks for them. “I’ll go get some more milk tea so you guys could continue talking!”
Gerald immediately stood up and left.
After Gerald had left, the two sisters and Elena’s other cousin went to surround her. They saw each other a lot and they were very close. “Elena, what’s going on? Why would you choose him!”
“That’s right, sis! This person is so cheap and it’s unbelievable!”
“Yes! This kind of person in our school doesn’t get any friends!”
“You all really shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover you know. Gerald is a great person. He’s loyal and honest but most importantly he has great ideas! Isn’t these the qualities to look for when dating someone?” Elena was feeling helpless.
“Elena, you’re too naive! You’ll soon realize that money is the most important thing in the future! But this isn’t a money issue, Elena. Even if he has a bit of money people would still look down on him! Just breakup with him already, okay? I’ll introduce you to someone better!”
The three sisters were trying to persuade her but Elena lowered her head and she decided to not say a single word while everyone was worried for her.
Meanwhile, Gerald came back with hands full of drinks. He brought back some milk tea.
“Have some drinks, everyone! The weather is too hot these days!” Gerald felt better after leaving for a while. In fact, these are just Elena’s relatives. He did not really have a reason to be mad at them.
“No, thanks. You can have it all!” The three sisters shook their heads speechlessly.
“We don’t want it either!” Harriet and Ruby said as they shook their heads.
“I think we are well rested here. We should move on to the next location!” Ruby continued.
“Alright! Let’s visit the Mountain road and then we could have lunch at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment!” Elena nodded her head.
Gerald did not dare to mention anything about his identity!
Everyone walked toward the car and was ready to go on to the next location.
Suddenly, Elena’s third cousin turned to her own boyfriend and said, “I’m so thirsty! Could you please get me a drink and buy a few more.”
“Yes please, and less ice. I don’t like cold drinks!” Harriet said.
“Alright! I’ll go get it!” Pierre said as he ran off.
Gerald shook his head speechlessly as he held those milk tea. He thought he was just poor but he did not know even the drinks he bought could ‘quench’ their thirst so nicely.
They finally set off to the Mountain Road and Gerald did not say a single word. He was playing his phone in the co-pilot seat the whole time.
Meanwhile, the three sisters and Harriet put their heads outside the window discussing the scenery.
“Wow! This is so beautiful, mom! Look at the mountain view!” They were amazed by it.
“It has been a while since I’ve visited Mayberry and this mountain view is just so iconic!” Ruby said happily.
“Stop the car now! Mom, aunt, look what I just saw! I think it’s a mirage!” Elena’s third cousin shouted excitedly.
“What? Mirage? Let me have a good look!”
Everyone got out of the car to catch a better view.
There was a luxurious and fancy house on top of the mountain with clouds covering it slightly.
The house seemed like it was floating on the clouds.
“It’s so beautiful! But I don’t think it’s a mirage!” Harriet was very excited. She immediately took out her camera and started taking pictures of it. Harriet was just a general manager, she was also a photography enthusiast.
“You’re right, aunt! It’s not a mirage. It’s a bungalow on top of Mayberry City called the Mountain Top Villa!”
“That is the Mountain Top Villa?”
Chapter 253
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 253 “I know I know! It was very well known among the rich people a while ago because Crawford’s son bought it with eight million dollars!”
“So it’s here! It looks amazing!”
“Anyways, Elena, since your family has something to do with Mayberry Commercial Street. Do you think you could bring us to the villa just to have a look at the surroundings?”
The aunts were very envious about it.
Elena turned and looked at Gerald. He did not reject them and she nodded back at them.
They immediately reached the place.
Whenever Gerald was not around there would be security guards outside to stop people from going in.
They were only halfway through and the guards were already there to stop them from going up.
“What are you guys doing here? This isn’t an attraction, please leave right now!” the two middle-aged security guards were really strict.
“We aren’t tourists, okay? This pretty lady over here is the daughter of Mr. Larson from Mayberry Commercial Street! Can’t we go in and have a look since Mr. Crawford hasn’t moved in yet?” Ruby said proudly.
“Oh! It’s Elena Larson. Our apologies!”
The Commercial Street and the Mountain Villa were all under the same company and these securities were Michael Zeke’s people hence they would know about the important people of the Mayberry Commercial Street.
When they saw Gerald standing beside Elena, they smiled happily.
“Ms. Elena, we are just here to look after Mr. Crawford’s villa. It would not be possible to let you all into the villa and if Mr. Zeke finds out, we would be in big trouble. So, please, Ms. Elena if you all aren’t planning to go into the villa, you all can stroll around!”
The people that wanted to visit the villa were all people that were very well known. For example, Yoel Holden claimed that Gerald was his godbrother and kept bringing people here. Even though they could not verify if he was the real deal but just his name alone was terrifying.
However, the villa was really not opened to the public.
The securities did not dare to stop Elena Larson either.
“Okay, We’ll just stroll outside the villa!” After noticing that Gerald did not say anything she turned to securities and said.
“Another thing, Ms. Elena. Don’t you think the people that you’re bringing in are slightly too many? We would be fired if the management sees it!” The securities were troubled.
“You’re so troublesome! We’ll just leave one behind, that’s all! Nine of us are going up” Harriet said.
Everyone knew that one person that was going to be left behind was Gerald.
Gerald was utterly speechless. Afterall, it was his own house and now he was not allowed to look at his own house.
Gerald was not planning to pamper them anymore when they reached the mountain top later.
He actually wanted to be low profile but they were way too much. Because they do not even care about him!
“That would be our arrangement! Let’s go, Elena!”
“There’s no point for him to go up there. People like him are good enough even with a house. He can’t afford a bungalow!” Ruby sneered.
Everyone else went up excitedly leaving Gerald behind.
Gerald smiled bitterly as he shook his head. He would not just stay there. Since he was already here, he would go and have a look and see if Michael has finished his work.
“What the hell are you trying to do?”
One of the securities stopped him from going up.
Gerald was stunned. “What? You guys don’t know who I am?”
How could the security from Wayfair Mountain Entertainment not know himself?
He thought they only acted as if they did not know who he was because they were told to. He did not realize that they were not aware of his identity!
“You? Who do you think you are? Aren’t you just a lowly peasant that is going to marry a rich family? You don’t seem very welcomed by them either!”

Chapter 255
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 255 Everyone was dumbfounded.
“Who are they, Mr. Crawford?” Rita asked. She was envious when she saw the pretty Elena Larson.
Rita did not feel comfortable there but she did not want to trouble Gerald.
Gerald can’t actually say that Elena was his girlfriend because it would be another trouble if Mila found out.
“It’s a story for next time. They are all my guests so please make some arrangements!” Gerald smiled.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford!” Rita nodded her head.
Ruby was stunned when she heard what Rita called him. “What? You’re a Crawford? Mayberry’s heir, Gerald Crawford?” Ruby shouted.
“Yes, auntie! That’s me!” Gerald laughed interestingly.
“Elena, is it true?”
Even Harriet was shocked and she felt as if her face was swollen from being ‘slapped’ by Gerald. The poor peasant that had been humiliated by them along their way was Gerald Crawford!
Elena nodded her head.
Elena’s cousins were all taking deep breaths. Clearly, they had heard about him many times and could not believe the person standing right in front of them was the very well-known Gerald Crawford.
They all felt regrets rushing through their heads. They must have looked like a circus show in front of Gerald!
Everything has become way more interesting for the following hours. Their conversations were still about Gerald but whatever he said, they would just agree with him. Gerald knew this time he would make them look like a fool and they just became really quiet.
“The house has completed, Mr. Crawford. When will you be moving in?” Rita asked Gerald softly before they left.
“Within these few days. Michael is quite efficient. He only took six days to complete the job!” Gerald answered and brought them downhill.
“Gerald, where are you? I would like to see you for dinner tonight. There’s something we need to talk about.” It was Mila. She texted Gerald.
Gerald was shocked by the text message after all he had done today.
“I’m at campus. I’ll see you at the canteen tonight then!” Gerald replied.
“Elena, I still have things to do in school and I have to leave now. You could bring them to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment tonight!” Gerald said.
“It’s okay, Gerald. We had been troubling you for the entire day! Don’t worry about us!” Ruby said.
“That’s right, Gerald! Don’t worry about us! You three! Bid your brother-in-law goodbye now!” Harriet said while she embarrassed the three sisters.
“Goodbye, brother-in-law!” The three sisters said as they smiled at him seductively. These women were having thoughts in their heads!
