Ch. 276..280: The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 276-280

Chapter 275

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 275 ”You know?” Silas and the others asked in surprise.

“Yes!” Alice replied in certainty. She continued, “This is a luxury sports car that has been parked at the small park near Mayberry University. There have also been rumors that this car was bought by Mr. Crawford. After that, there were rumors stating that this car had been bought by a mysterious local tycoon, Ordinary Man, who is also a student in the Department of Language and Literature in our university. Some people also said that Ordinary Man is actually Mr. Crawford’s online nickname!”

“In that case, this car should be parked at our school! Why would the local tycoon, Ordinary Man, park his car here?”

“This is the villa bought by Mr. Crawford!” Alice frowned as she said in disbelief.

Yes. Anyone else could believe that Gerald was Mr. Crawford and it would mean nothing to them at all.

However, Alice could not believe it.

She was scared. She was especially frightened.

When she was still in the villa just now, she had been wracking her brains to figure out how she could remove Gerald entirely from this equation.

She only needed one reason to avoid this fact, and Silas had finally come up with a reason for that.

However, how could things be explained now?

Ordinary Man’s car was parked here, and it was rumored that he was Mr. Crawford. Now, it was almost certainly sure that Ordinary Man was truly Mr. Crawford!

Rita had already mentioned that Mr. Crawford was here.

The only other person who had been here throughout the entire night was none other than Gerald!

The local tycoon, Ordinary Man, was from the Department of Language and Literature, and Gerald was also from the Department of Language and Literature!

Alice could feel her breathing increase rapidly.

Why? Why did it seem as though everything was pointing to the fact that Gerald was actually the mysterious Mr. Crawford?!

Silas took a deep breath before he gave his instructions. “Oh, it seems as though that kid from earlier also has some background of his own. Anyway, everyone should just listen to me. Just hide when you see him in the future, and if you cannot hide, just be courteous to him!”

He was very courageous, but he had only accepted one concept ever since he was a child. He would have to be very cautious and careful when handling matters related to the Crawford family.

This was the case now.

Although he did not know who Gerald was, he would just treat him with common courtesy and respect from now onward. Wouldn’t everything be fine then?

After he was done speaking, Silas looked at Alice before he said, “Alice, you should also stop thinking about this matter. Anyway, listen to me. Just be polite and respectful toward Gerald when you see him in the future. What’s the big deal? You can also apologize to him for everything that happened today!”

“Be polite? Apologize to him? Why should I apologize or be polite to him? Silas, you are the son of the boss of Mayberry Commercial Street! Why are you afraid of Gerald? Didn’t you say that you will get rid of and teach a lesson to anyone who is not pleasing to my eyes? I think Gerald is not pleasing to my eyes! I want you to teach him a lesson and get rid of him on my behalf! As long as you do that, I will be yours from now on!” Alice replied as she jumped up.

This was because she could not accept the fact that the Silas that she felt was omnipotent was actually conceding to Gerald?

Wouldn’t this mean that Gerald was better than Silas then?

Since Gerald was someone she despised, he had to always be a scumbag! Alice would certainly not be able to accept it if Gerald gained a good reputation!

Thus, she was yelling like a crazy person at this time.

“D*mn it! Alice, are you crazy?” Silas replied in a somewhat displeased manner.

Although the condition offered by Alice was really very attractive and even if he had always been a romantic who was very willful, he was not stupid!

This Gerald could very likely be Mr. Crawford and she still wanted him to teach Gerald a lesson? He might not even be able to keep his own tongue if he cursed at him!

Alice was about to cry as she yelled, “I don’t care! Gerald can’t possibly be Mr. Crawford. Didn’t you say that he is probably just a stalker? How could he possibly be Mr. Crawford? How could that be possible? Moreover, he has always been famous as the pathetic pauper in our school!”

Chapter 276

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 276 Silas was also a little confused.

At this time, Silas’s cell phone suddenly rang. As soon as he saw the name on the caller ID, he answered the call with an angry look on his face. He also turned on the speaker on his cell phone without any hesitation!

“F*ck! Jayden, where were you? Didn’t you already agree to come to Mountain Top Villa with Jacelyn tonight? Why? Did the two of you go to open a room?” Silas asked as he cursed at him.

“Don’t talk about it, Silas. I caused a huge catastrophe today and was beaten half to death by my dad. My mom just finished applying some medication for me!”

“What? Uncle Scott has always spoiled and doted on you, yet he actually beat you up today? Did you do something terrible or did you do something to offend the Crawford family?”

“I don’t know who I provoked today. However, how could I possibly have offended the Crawford family? I am not stupid. To tell you the truth, I simply had a conflict with some of the guys from the Department of Language and Literature today. Do you know that Jane also hit me just because I offended someone called Mr. Benjamin Langdon from the Department of Language and Literature? Jacelyn also knows who he is!”

“F*ck! Mr. Benjamin Langdon? Why haven’t I heard of him before? Jane beat you up because of him?” Silas could not help but feel a little confused. What was going on today?

“Wait a minute. Who are you talking about? Benjamin? Are you sure that Jacelyn knows them too?”

These words made Alice’s body tremble a little.

She leaned over as she spoke over the phone.

“By the way, Alice, you should know them too. That woman, Jacelyn, told me that you often associate with people from their dormitory! What is that Benjamin’s background? D*mn it! He is simply too powerful!”

“Well, if it’s the same Benjamin I know of, then I know for certain that he is just a pathetic jerk who has no money or power at all. How could he possibly cause such a huge sensation?”

“Who said no? I also checked it out again. Benjamin has no background at all and his family is actually suffering to make ends meet. The only good thing about their family is that there was someone who actually did very well in the civil examinations in the past. That’s all! I really do not understand why my father is beating me up like this!”

Jayden had even investigated and turned over Benjamin’s full family background and history as he felt that things were simply too unclear.

Alice paused at this time. She seemed to have thought of something. She did not want to ask about that person, but she couldn’t help it.

Alice asked solemnly, “Jayden, let me ask you something. Was there a guy named Gerald by Benjamin’s side today?”

“D*mn it! How did you know? Yes! Yes, there was a man following him named Gerald, and he seemed to be one of Benjamin’s lackeys. I think that the booking for the hotel and restaurant were all made by that guy named Gerald. He even picked up a beer bottle and smashed it directly on my cousin’s head! However, he seems to know Jane really well.” Jayden replied, filled with doubts.

“Sure enough, it’s him again!”

Alice was shocked once again.

What was Jayden saying? What Mr. Langdon? How could Gerald possibly be his lackey? Gerald was very likely the legendary Mr. Crawford of Mayberry City!

The Mr. Crawford who had countless assets!

“D*mn it. It seems as though we really should not be messing around with that guy named Gerald. We should even apologize to him the next time we see him! Otherwise, we will really be done for if he turns out to be Mr. Crawford!”

“Yes! Yes! Fortunately, I did not say anything harsh to Gerald just now. I was also very gentle when I poked him in the chest!”

Several girls had already turned pale in fright.

Silas simply nodded in response.

Alice was very dissatisfied when she saw that everyone was shocked because of Gerald.

She started laughing out loud as she said, “Hahaha. You’re all cowards! All of you are truly cowards! A pathetic jerk like Gerald could actually scare you like this? Well, all of you are terrified of him, right? I’m not afraid of him at all! What’s so great about Gerald? I don’t believe that Gerald is really Mr. Crawford! Gerald is just a scumbag and an idiot!”

Alice clenched her fists tightly until her nails were digging deep into her palms.

She was not convinced at all, and she really felt very uncomfortable. Why were all these high ranking people so afraid of Gerald?

Let’s talk about Gerald.

He had already gone back to his dormitory to sleep. So, he could not even be bothered to ask what Michael would do to deal with this matter, and he slept all the way till dawn.

Gerald was feeling just fine when he woke up the next day.

It was only then that he thought of Jacelyn. After all, he was the one who had caused the accident. So, shouldn’t he find out if she was already awake?

Chapter 277

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 277 Gerald did not drive. Instead, he simply took a cab to the hospital.

Jacelyn was placed in a special VIP ward.

When Gerald came to the ward, the environment in the area was very quiet.

“Get out! I want all of you to get out! I will not accept your examination unless I see the person who saved me! Get out!”

Unexpectedly, when Gerald arrived at the door of the ward, he heard Jacelyn yelling and losing her temper.

A group of senior doctors and nurses were chased out of the ward by her.

“Oh! This Miss Leigh really has a very bad temper. She will not even allow us to examine her at all. What if her condition worsens because of the delay?”

“Yes! How are we going to explain this then?”

Several nurses spoke anxiously.

When they turned around, they saw Gerald walking toward them with some fruits and gifts in his hand.

“Hello, Mr. Crawford. You are finally here. The patient has been clamoring to see you as soon as she woke up!”

Several beautiful nurses approached Gerald immediately.

This was because Gerald had been so lavish when he arrived at the hospital in his Lamborghini the other day. Therefore, these beautiful nurses naturally paid a lot of attention to Gerald, and they all referred to him as Mr. Crawford in a respectful manner.

Gerald nodded faintly at the group of nurses before he asked a middle-aged attending doctor, named Dr. Zech about Jacelyn’s condition. “Oh, Dr. Zech, when did Jacelyn wake up? How is she?”

Dr. Zech’s eyes lit up immediately as soon as he saw Gerald.

After that, he waved his hand slightly as he motioned for the nurses to leave first.

“Hello, Mr. Crawford. The patient only suffered a slight concussion which is not a major problem. We have also given her some medication, and she has already lost about half a month’s worth of her memory now!” Dr. Zech replied as he smiled faintly.

He seemed to have already known about Gerald’s identity.

This made Gerald feel a little puzzled. After sending Jacelyn here yesterday, he had called Zack and asked him to arrange for the ward and special care for Jacelyn in the hospital.

However, he had never asked Zack to give Jacelyn amnesia!

Gerald did not even need to think about it to know that Zack had already called the hospital to make all the necessary arrangements after ending the call with him. He not only arranged the VIP ward and special medical staff to watch over Jacelyn, but he also instructed the doctor to make sure that Jacelyn would not remember everything that had happened.

Zack was really very thoughtful and meticulous!

Gerald could only smile wryly to himself.

However, this was perfect too. It would be less burdensome for him in the future.

“Okay. I will have to trouble you with this matter. I will reward you greatly in the future. I will go in and see her first!”

“Okay, Mr. Crawford!”

Gerald pushed the door of the ward open.

“Get lost! I told you… f*ck! Gerald, why are you here?”

Jacelyn had already picked up a water glass and was about to throw it, but she was stunned when she saw Gerald entering the ward at this time.

To be honest, ever since she had woken up in a daze last night, she had been filled with doubts. She had begun to put on airs and display a very bad temper when she noticed the cautious and respectful attitude that the medical staff had toward her.

At first, Jacelyn had asked them how she had ended up in the hospital.

The doctor told her that a rich man had brought her here, and he had even arranged for her to stay in the VIP ward.

When Jacelyn eagerly asked about the identity of the rich man, the doctors refused to say anything at all.

Moreover, everyone was very courteous and respectful toward Jacelyn.

That was the reason why Jacelyn dared to act so unscrupulously just now.

However, she really did not expect to see Gerald.

“You seem to be feeling a lot better based on your voice.”

Gerald put down the bag of fruits in his hand before he sat down.

Chapter 278

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 278 ”Oh my God. Gerald, why are you here? Wait. Don’t tell me that you were the one who saved me? But what happened to me? Why can’t I remember anything at all?” Jacelyn asked in surprise.

Gerald replied without feeling ashamed at all, “Yes, I saved you. As for what happened… you were walking too fast on campus and you tripped over a stone, subsequently hitting your head on another stone. I was the one who rescued you and brought you to the hospital!”

“Ahh! So, that’s what it was. Cough! Cough!” Jacelyn replied in disappointment.

Gerald felt like laughing when he asked, “Why does it seem as though you are very disappointed to find out that I was the one who saved you?”

Hmph! Of course that was the case!

I originally thought that I got hit lightly by a car, and it was a luxury car. The owner of the luxury car was also a very handsome man.

Finally, it would be better if it was raining last night. The handsome man squatted down in the rain before he hugged me and patted me lightly on my cheek as he asked me anxiously, “Miss, are you okay?”

When he saw that she was in a coma, the rich and handsome young man carried her in his arms as he rushed her to the hospital in the car.

After that, he would visit her with a bunch of delicious fruits, and he would peel some apples for her too.

Then, he would take her for a walk in the park.

After getting along for more than half a month, the both of them would suddenly fall in love.

He would fall in love with her, and he would kneel down and propose to her on a starry night.

As for the marriage proposal, he would light up the sky with fireworks and spell out the words ‘I love you’.

“Jacelyn, I love you! Will you marry me? I am willing to use everything that I have in exchange for your lifetime happiness!”

“Yes! Yes!”

Then, both of them would start kissing on this romantic night. Halfway through the kiss, Jacelyn opened her eyes.

D*mn it! Gerald!

So, everyone could imagine Jacelyn’s mood and what she was feeling at this time.

“Hey! Hey! Why are you holding my hand? I’m asking you a question! Are you disappointed that I was the one who saved you?”

Gerald could not help but smile bitterly when he saw the idiotic look on Jacelyn’s face.

“Ahh! I… I’m not! Well, Gerald, you are actually pretty tall, and you do not look that bad. In fact, as long as you wear some nice clothes and dress properly, you will also look very handsome. Now, after winning the lottery, you are also rich and have some connections. So, you can be considered a tall, rich, and handsome man!”

“However, you are still far off from those who are really rich, powerful, and handsome. I do not know why it is like this. Perhaps it is just your temperament!” Jacelyn started complaining, “Hmph! I thought that it was a tall, rich, and handsome man who saved me, but I guess you’re not too bad either!”

Jacelyn knew that Gerald was also quite rich. Although it was highly possible that he was a gigolo who was someone else’s lover, it was fine as long as he had money. She could try her best to get her hands on his money!

Gerald could tell that Jacelyn’s current memory was at the moment when Alice had misunderstood his intentions at her department the last time.

“Gerald, can you peel an apple for me?” Jacelyn held her cheeks in her hands and asked as she tilted her head to look at Gerald, smiling delicately.

“But I didn’t buy any apples. Can you eat a banana instead?”

Gerald also felt a little guilty toward Jacelyn. After all, he was the one who had bumped into her, and he was also the reason behind her amnesia. Anyone would feel uncomfortable in this situation.

Gerald started to peel a banana for her.

“Oh, I don’t want to! Pfft! I am not eating it. Put it away!”

“Gerald, can you go out and buy some apples for me? I want to eat some apples that have already been cut!” Jacelyn asked as she held Gerald’s hand.

Gerald quickly retracted his hand before he said, “Okay. Okay, then. I will go and buy some apples for you. Wait for a moment.”

After that, Gerald slipped away in a hurry.

Gerald had just gotten into the elevator when the elevator door beside his elevator opened.

About four to five girls stepped out of the elevator with a fruit basket in their hands.

“Alice, did Jacelyn explain everything clearly to you? This is the VIP ward!”

“Yes, don’t worry, Hayley. I’ve already clarified everything. Come! Let’s go and see her.”

Chapter 279

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 279 ”1902! This is it!”

When Hayley saw it, she pushed the door open.

“Jacelyn, we’re here to see you!”

“Alice! Hayley! You’re here!” Jacelyn was eating a banana at this time. She was delighted when she saw that Alice and Hayley were here.

The next step was very simple. They started asking Jacelyn about her condition.

Finally, they were talking about the cause and effect!

“What? It was Gerald who saved you? Where is he, then?” Alice stood up suddenly as she exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was shocked. If anyone was particularly sensitive to the word ‘Gerald’, it was none other than Alice.

After Alice had returned to her dormitory yesterday, she did not think about Silas or anything else. All she could think about was Gerald alone.

Her heart hurt terribly, and she could not help but feel a little afraid.

What would she do if Gerald was indeed Mr. Crawford?!

To be honest, Alice had had the urge to leave her dormitory and rush to Gerald’s dormitory before she held Gerald in her arms and told him she was sorry. She would try to make things up with him, and she would treat him well in the future.

She really wanted to put everything in.

However, after thinking about it, she could not help but wonder what if Gerald was not Mr. Crawford? This was because Gerald was really a very confusing person now!

Oh! She did not want to say anything anymore!

In short, Alice felt even more entangled and uncomfortable than ever.

So, as soon as she heard about Gerald, she wanted to see him immediately so that she could ask him about things and make things clear once and for all. After all, both of them had already lost contact with one another after the last time.

“Alice, are you okay? Why do you have such a strong reaction?”

Everyone could not help but feel a little surprised.

“Oh! Oh! I’m fine. I have not seen that scumbag in such a long time, I was just feeling a little angry when I heard his name!”

Alice had an ignorant look on her face. She was also a very shrewd person, and she did not disclose anything about what had happened yesterday.

“Hmph! That’s right! Me too! I am so angry that Gerald actually treated you like that!” Hayley also replied.

Jacelyn hurriedly asked, “Hey! Hey! What are you guys talking about? Why can’t I understand what you are saying at all? Why is Gerald a scumbag?”

“Jacelyn, are you pretending, or did you truly lose your memory?” Hayley and the others asked worriedly.

After that, they told Jacelyn about everything that had happened before.

“Ahh? I don’t believe it. I can’t believe that Gerald would get together with someone else!” Jacelyn said as she shook her head sharply.

As for Alice asking Jacelyn if she could remember who Jayden was, Jacelyn simply shook her head.

Moreover, Jacelyn did not know why, but she actually felt a little disgusted when she heard the name Jayden.

What was even stranger was the fact that she actually felt as though she was convincing herself that Gerald was the person she was pursuing right now.

It was truly strange.

When everyone realized that Jacelyn did not want to talk about things that had happened just before this, everyone stopped talking about it.

As for Alice, she was also a very smart person. She could tell that Jacelyn seemed to be feeling very affectionate toward Gerald at this time.

This was because she could not stop herself from mentioning Gerald in every other sentence that she spoke. She even asked everyone if they realized that Gerald was actually quite handsome.

Alice was even feeling a little jealous at this time.

It felt as though someone was boasting about how handsome her boyfriend was and how she wanted to get together with your boyfriend in front of everyone else.

However, the worrying fact was that Gerald was not even Alice’s boyfriend at this time!

“Sigh. Why isn’t Gerald back yet? He said that he was going to buy me some apples. Shouldn’t he have already returned a long time ago?”

Jacelyn already felt as though she was missing Gerald at this time. Thus, she tried to call him.

Alas, Gerald’s cell phone was already turned off.

What was happening?

Something must have happened!

In fact, this was because Gerald’s cell phone had already been smashed into pieces after falling to the ground.

Back to three seconds ago on Gerald’s end.

After going downstairs, Gerald went to the fruit stall.

After buying the apples, he was preparing to pay using his QR code.

At this time, a woman standing next to him accidentally hit his arm.

Chapter 280

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 280 He was not holding his cell phone firmly, and it fell to the ground with a bang, and his cell phone shattered immediately!

Gerald had already had this cell phone for more than two to three years, but he had always been very unwilling to change it.

At this moment, Gerald felt a little dumbfounded as he picked up the cell phone from the ground.

The woman hurriedly said, “I am sorry! I am really sorry, handsome! I did not mean it. I will compensate you for your cell phone!”

Gerald smiled slightly before he said, “It’s okay, it’s okay. I will just bring it to the shop to try and repair it. Eh?!”

However, Gerald was stunned as soon as he saw the woman standing before him.

The woman was also taken aback.

“It’s you?”

“Oh, it’s you!”

Both parties exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

The woman in front of Gerald looked to be about thirty years old. She was dressed very elegantly and she had long hair, fair skin, a very good figure, and an exquisite face. She was definitely the kind of

person who would make people turn their heads around to take a second look at her when she walked on the street.

Moreover, there was also a young girl who was about four or five years old with her hair tied up in a bun standing next to her.

Both of them were the mother and little girl that Gerald had rescued by the river near the milk tea shop the other day.

Last time, when he went to buy milk tea with Mila, he had heard a cry for help and had hurried over to rescue the other party immediately. Upon his return, Nigel had already had the opportunity to kidnap Mila!

Gerald had a very deep impression of this event.

“Look! It’s Uncle Hero! Mom, haven’t you been looking for Uncle Hero all this while?”

The young girl with her hair tied up in a bun said as she smiled.

She also ran over to Gerald and held his hand immediately.

Gerald had a very familiar and affectionate feeling when he saw the little girl, and he pinched the little girl’s face gently.

The woman smiled cordially and looked at Gerald as she said, “Young man, we are truly fated! I have been trying to look for you after you saved Minnie. I wanted to find the opportunity to thank you specifically. However, I never expected to see you here today!”

To be honest, this was the case with most women. They would always remember the person who offered them a helping hand during their most critical moment.

This was exactly what this woman was feeling toward Gerald at this time. Moreover, she also felt very safe when she saw Gerald’s kind appearance.

“Anyone in that situation would have done the same thing too! Madam, you don’t have to worry too much. Is your daughter called Minnie? I am just glad that Minnie is fine!” Gerald replied as he smiled.

“Nevertheless, we have to thank you! My name is Wynn Thornton, and my daughter’s name is Minnie Tessa Thornton!” Wynn straightened out her hair as she smiled and spoke to Gerald.

“My name is Gerald!”

“Gerald, you will not be able to leave today! Are you free now? If you are free, it is almost noon. Can I treat you to a meal, then?”

Wynn looked like the kind of woman who had already been in society for a long time. Moreover, she was very mature, and each of her gestures and actions was all very charming.

“Uncle Gerald, please agree to my mom’s request! We can go to my house and eat together. My mom’s cooking is really very delicious!” Minnie shook Gerald’s arm and pleaded profusely.

To be honest, he was actually free. However, Gerald really did not feel like going. After all, he felt that it was only right for him to save a person who was in need. Why should he be treated to a meal?

However, Minnie was begging him to go now.

Gerald could not bear to disappoint Minnie. Thus, he nodded immediately.

“By the way, Miss Wynn, I just have to buy some fruits for a classmate of mine first!” At this time, Gerald suddenly remembered Jacelyn.

“Boss! My phone is already broken so I cannot pay using the QR code now. I can only pay with cash.”

After he spoke, Gerald placed his hand into his pocket. However, he suddenly recalled that he had forgotten to take his wallet and ID with him as he had left it behind in the Lamborghini because he had left in a hurry out of anger.

“Boss, how much is it in total? I will pay for it! Also, can you send someone to help me to deliver these fruits up to the ward later? Just tell the patient that her classmate has gone out for a meal with his friend!” Wynn smiled and continued, “By the way, Gerald, I will also have to buy a new cell phone for you!”

The reason why she said this was because she noticed that Gerald did not seem too anxious about the patient he was visiting. This obviously meant that they did not share any special relationship at all.

Therefore, she decided to decide on his behalf.

In truth, Wynn’s decision made Gerald feel very comfortable and relieved.

Indeed, he did not feel like going back to the ward to see Jacelyn acting coquettishly toward him like a baby!

Minnie cheered happily as she held Gerald’s hand, “Yay! Uncle is coming to eat at my house!”

Minnie was very close and affectionate toward Gerald who had saved her life.

After getting into Wynn’s BMW 7 Series, Gerald saw Wynn’s business card in the car. He was really taken aback after seeing it.

Wynn was so young, but she was already the boss of a company!
