Chapter 503
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 503
Though he was reluctant, Willie couldn’t go against everyone’s persuasion. After all, who else could
help him? He had no choice but to rely on Gerald’s mercy this time.
He just had to bite the bullet and he soon found himself headed for the hotel that Gerald had been
staying in.
A few other people joined him. However, even after waiting for quite a long time in the hotel’s lobby,
there was still no sign of Gerald anywhere.
When his daughter tried to call him again, his phone line was still busy.
Gerald wasn’t doing this on purpose though. He was still talking to his father through the phone after
all.
“Dad, I have some news about the pendant. It originated from the southwest and has quite a long
history of its own. This kind of jade is extremely valuable and precious. This Xara you’re looking for.
She must be a youngdy from a rich family, correct?” asked Gerald as he sipped his coffee. He was
sitting in a quiet café now.
His father was the one who had initiated the call, since he wanted to know about the jade pendant’s
progress.
“That’s right! She is indeed, a youngdy from a rich family!” replied his father beforeughing.
“But dad, didn’t you say that Xara’s family was from the southeast area? Could she actually be in the
southwest instead?” asked Gerald, slightly doubtful.
“Did I? I’m honestly unsure about where Xara’s family is from. I don’t even remember what herst
name is! So please, son. You need to investigate and get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Let
me know what the results are as soon as they’re avable!” replied his father with a smile.
Hearing that, Gerald wondered whether he should tell his father about Queta. After all, he was pretty
certain that she was Xara’s daughter.
However, he refrained from doing so. Even if his father knew about her, it wouldn’t really help with the
situation at all.
Hence, Gerald decided to tell his father about her only when he had found more clues in the future.
“Speaking of which, Gerald, it’ll be your birthday soon, right? We haven’t really celebrated together as a
family since you were in high school. Since this will be your first birthday after your life of poverty
ended, I thought that we could reunite so that we can celebrate your birthday together again after so
long!” said his father, his tone slightly apologetic.
Gerald simplyughed. “That’s alright dad, I’m in Serene County now. I’ve been busy settling a few
things but after I’m done, I’ll go back to our old house for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Winter will be there
so you don’t have to worry about me being lonely on my birthday!”
“Well, alright then. However, I mentioned the end of your poverty education for a reason. If you’re
celebrating it without us, you have to make sure you enjoy a better and livelier birthday! That doesn’t
mean you should go overboard like your sister though. Remember that year when she bought an entire
ind in the Pacific Ocean for her birthday? As if that wasn’t high profile enough, she went ahead and
invited celebrities from all over the world to attend it! What I’m saying is make sure you don’t go too
high profile, but also make sure your birthday celebration isn’t a shabby one!” instructed his father.
“I got it dad, you don’t have to worry about me!” said Gerald while shaking his head with a smile.
After talking a little while more about some recent business affairs, both of them hung up.
Checking his text messages, he realized that Le had called him several times. Gerald didn’t n to
call her back, however.
Willie’s matters were his own to deal with. Gerald wanted no part of their family in his life anymore.
Today had been thest straw!
If it hadn’t been for their extreme rudeness earlier, Gerald would even have invited them to his nned
birthday banquet, just to give them some face.
At that moment, a middle-aged man dressed in a suit entered the café. He held on to an envelope and
he walked respectfully toward Gerald.
“Good day, Mr. Crawford. This is the entry rmendation letter that you asked for. I’ve already
written it for you. After this, you can use this letter to join the Dream Investment Group directly!”
The man didn’t even dare to sit down, and simply stood beside Gerald as he spoke.

“Thanks for all the trouble. Needless to say, nobody should know about this matter,” said Gerald as he
took a sip of coffee.
“Understood!”
Gerald had ordered a top-level executive to help him with the entry rmendation letter.
After hisst conversation with Xeno, Gerald had learned that the internal situation in the investment
group was quite chaotic.
Therefore, Gerald had nned to join and be part of the investment group to try and understand
everything that was going on inside.
Gerald knew that if he were to investigate under the name of Mr. Crawford, he wouldn’t be able to find
out about anything at all. It’d be extremely difficult in fact.
Since Zack was already busy running between Mayberry City and Serene County while also looking
into the jade pendant for Gerald, Gerald felt too embarrassed to trouble him anymore.
By joining thepany himself, Gerald would also be able to see first-hand whether the situation was
as bad as Xeno had described to him.
