    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 490


    After Gerald left, Xe re-entered the building quietly and stood close to Francesca and her daughter.


    She had been listening to the mother and daughter’s conversation from the moment they started


    talking again.


    “What happened at the karaoke bar?” asked Xe nervously before Francesca could even respond.


    “Oh! See, we went to a karaoke bar a little while back to have some fun. A friend of ours provoked


    some people there and it led to a sh with Louie from the Lourdes Mining Group in Serene County!


    Back then, even Dous was frightened to death despite being such a capable person! After all, it was


    Louie who we had provoked. Louie had even ordered all the girls to remain in the bar and drink with


    him!”


    “What? Cindy! Why wasn’t I told about this earlier?”


    All Francesca knew was that Gerald had invited her daughter over to enjoy a meal with him. She had


    just found out about this entire conflict today.


    “Well, I was afraid that you would be worried! I’ll exin all of it now, though. At the time, I was crying


    together with Le since we were so frightened. Dous and the other guys had run away as well! But


    guess what happened next!”


    “Go on,” Francesca replied worriedly.


    “In the end, it was Gerald who had helped us settle everything! He was the one who had made Louie


    let all the girls go! If it hadn’t been for him, I don’t even want to start imagining what could have


    happened to us that night!”


    As Cindy continued exining, she took notice of how affectionate she was whenever she talked about


    him. She realized at that moment, that she now had budding feelings for Gerald.


    “And? What happened after that? All of you just left Gerald alone with Louie? Would someone like


    Louie just let Gerald leave that easily?”


    It was Xe’s turn to ask.


    “Yeah, well here’s the thing. That was when things started getting even weirder! I was worried about


    Gerald so I told everyone to turn back to the karaoke bar. By the time we arrived, the building was


    surrounded by dozens of Maybach cars! When we entered, Louie and his friends were all getting


    beaten up by some men dressed in ck!”


    “Though it was quite a spectacle, my main objective then was still to help Gerald get out. I was so


    anxious then. However, it turned out that not only was Gerald doing fine, he was having an expensive


    French meal for his dinner in a restaurant next to the karaoke bar! When he saw us, he invited us over


    to have dinner with him too! When I asked Gerald about the specifics of what had happened back in


    the karaoke bar, he kept his answers ambiguous… It really felt like he was hiding something from us


    back then. After tonight’s events, I think I finally understand what happened back then a little better…”


    Francesca took in a deep breath before exhaling.


    “…Then, if that’s the case, it’s very likely that Gerald was the one who had called the group of people to


    beat Louie and his friends up. He wouldn’t just help you girls resolve the matter without a backup n.


    What more, he was even calmly enjoying a nice meal at the time!”


    “That’s what I’m thinking too!” replied Cindy as she nodded energetically.


    Xe was shocked after hearing her story.


    “…You know, a while back I had a ss reunion with Gerald and one of my friends, Cameron, said that


    Gerald seemed to have a good rtionship with Louie! He even said that Gerald had kicked Louie’s


    butt yet Louie’s only response at the time was to smile without saying a word! This could mean that


    Gerald had already beaten him up once before this. Why else would he be that polite to Gerald?”


    exined Xe in detail.


    Hearing her side of the story, both Francesca and Cindy couldn’t help but feel that Gerald’s true identity


    had only grown more mysterious.


    “I think… I think I’ve got it! Cindy! If we’re really, really lucky, Gerald could be the young master himself!


    Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City!” said Francesca aloud.


    “W-what?”


    Hearing those words made Xe tremble in fear. She was shaking so much that her handbag even fell


    to the floor.


    She felt as though she had just been stabbed in the heart.


    “Mom! That’s… not possible, right?”


    Cindy could feel her chest tighten as she pondered upon the idea.


    “Pfft! I’m just pulling your leg! On a more serious note, this Gerald is definitely quite the extraordinary


    individual. Even Jaxon’s giving him so much face. Cindy, he’s always been good and kind to you, right?


    Try to get as close to him as you possibly can in the near future. From what we know, both his


    ssmates and even the Jung family despise him. You’re one of the few people in Serene County who


    treats him well, so you better seize this opportunity!” said Francesca happily.


    Xe felt miserable hearing her words.


    If nothing else had happened, she would’ve been Gerald’s best friend in Serene County!


    Not too long ago, Gerald had still been affectionate with her. Contrastingly, he was now very cold and


    indifferent toward her!


    At that moment, Xe realized that she felt as though she had lost something…


    It was some time after noon when Francesca returned to the bank to work. She had a radiant smile on


    her face.


    “Hehe… Deputy Director Lacy, why are you so happy? Could you already have met a noble person to


    complete your order for you?”


    Seeing Francesca’s happy face, Leia couldn’t help but feel slightly bitter.Belongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.
