    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 325


    When Gerald, Harper, and a few others arrived at the restaurant, Naomi was already there with her


    cousin, Xyleena.


    Cassandra, Felicity, and Yvonne were there too. Sitting beside Xyleena, was a young man in his mid-


    twenties. He wore a suit and his shoes were made of leather.


    Xyleena looked as feminine as ever. She was one of the more outstanding people in society, and she


    had social connections all over the ce.


    Gerald, Harper, and many others knew Xyleena mostly due to her social connections with them. This,


    however, granted them the knowledge that Xyleena was actually a rather arrogant person. She only


    helped Gerald and a few others find part-time jobs because they were friends with Naomi. Otherwise,


    she wouldn’t even have batted an eyelid at them.


    “Come, take a seat. All of you,” Xyleena said in a soft voice.


    Geraldplied.


    “What a frightening chain of events,st night was. We’ll have a toast in a bit, but before that, I’d like to


    introduce someone to all of you. This man is Brian Merrall, and he’s been my friend all the way back


    from high school. He’s the team leader of the criminal investigation team in Mayberry and he’s also the


    one I called for help yesterday!”


    “Nice to meet you Brian. Thank you very much for saving us!” said Yvonne. After realizing who Brian


    was, Yvonne couldn’t help but admire him.


    “You’re very wee. I’m just doing my job. Honestly, it should be me thanking all of you. After


    catching the suspects yesterday, we were able to uncover an even bigger criminal case that they were


    involved in. If it wasn’t for you, we may never have gotten the chance to take down such a powerful


    person as Jake.” Brian smiled after finishing his sentence.


    “Look at how well-spoken he is, Naomi! Let’s have a toast with the one who saved you!”


    Seeing that her cousin wasn’t reacting appropriately, Xyleena took it into her own hands to remind her


    cousin immediately.


    “Oh yes, aside from thanking Brian, I would also like to thank Gerald as well. If it wasn’t for him, we


    may never have been saved in time!” said Naomi.


    After all, if he hadn’t told anyone about the call, who knows what would have be of them.


    “What are you doing Naomi? I told you to thank Inspector Merrall, not Gerald,” said Xyleena, slightly


    unhappy.


    “Xyleena’s right, what did that poor man do? He said he was going tounch a police report but he


    must have been too stunned to do anything. Had Xyleena not messaged him or called Inspector


    Merrall, all of us could be dead by now!” said Yvonne.


    Brian simply shook his head andughed.


    “Well said! If anyone is to receive our gratitude, it should be Xyleena and Inspector Merrall! I’ll be


    having tea instead of wine, but allow me to toast to you. Since I failed to protect Naomi and the others,


    I’ll drink first!” said Cassandra as she smiled.


    Clearly, she didn’t care about Gerald at all.


    While all this was happening, Naomi felt that something was off.


    She realized that Brian had not appeared at all throughout their rescue mission the day before. On


    another note, Leopold was also clearly much stronger than Brian in terms of both aura and strength.


    Something was definitely wrong.


    In addition to that, Naomi felt slightly sick hearing how the rest continued to ridicule Gerald.


    “Naomi, I know that you have quite a good rtionship with Gerald. How about this, I’ll use my


    connections to trynding him a job with benefits. One that includes endowment insurance, medical


    insurance, unemployment insurance, work-rted injury insurance, and even childbirth insurance!” said


    Xyleena. She didn’t want to embarrass her cousin too much.


    “Is that true, cousin? How about a job with all the previous insurances as well as housing funds?”


    asked Naomi.


    “That would be quite difficult! Only outstandingpanies provide their employees with housing funds


    these days. With Gerald, it may be a little difficult to arrange such apany to take him in. However,


    I’ll try my best!” said Xyleena before coughing slightly.


    It was quite obvious that she was indirectly saying that Gerald was clearly not that capable.


    “Xyleena’s right. If Gerald gets into an outstandingpany, he’ll most probably only be a hindrance to


    the other employees!” Yvonne said without filtering her words at all.


    “That’s true! The best he can do is paperwork or be an office worker given his character. He really can’t


    do much else and even the counselor would agree,” said Felicity as she shook her head, a bitter smile


    on her face.


    Gerald felt his blood boil as he heard all the insults.


    ‘D*amn it, this happens every time! It’s almost as if they run out of topics to say if they’re not mocking


    me!’


    ‘Sure, I was an honest man before this, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid.’


    ‘I was only honest because I didn’t have much money or power.’


    All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Gerald fumed angrily in silence.


    At that moment, his phone rang.


    ncing at it to see who was calling, he saw that it was his sister.


    He then got up and walked away from them before picking up.
