    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 525


    “What’s wrong, Stuart?” asked Ava, looking visibly worried.


    “It’s ruined!” said Stuart, his face pale as a sheet. He then ran down the stairs immediately and Ava


    followed close behind. She waited for him to be done with his phone call before slowly approaching


    him.


    “Stuart…? What’s wrong? Please don’t scare me!” asked Ava, repeating her question. She was getting


    increasingly worried with every passing second.


    Stuart wasn’t a man who only had his looks. He had properties within Mayberry and his parents were


    fairly sessful people as well. Essentially, he had the whole package. He just seemed to naturally


    outshine all of Ava’s other colleagues in thepany, which was one of the reasons why she liked him


    so much in the first ce.


    Ava had always dreamed of marrying Stuart in Mayberry one day. If she was lucky, she’d love to be


    able to work there as well. Due to her father being the principal of her high school, she had been both


    prideful and cynical from a young age. All her crushes she had had up to this point were on men who


    had powerful backgrounds and were very rich.


    “This is bad, Ava. Remember thatpany that we invested in with Mr. Wilson? Something’s gone


    wrong!” said Stuart in a panicked voice.


    Ava immediately knew what he was talking about. The investment in thatpany had been ordered


    by one of the directors. Stuart, as well as Mr. Wilson, were involved in the process. Since thepany


    wanted to earn more through investing, it was natural for everyone in thepany to want more of that


    money too. Money was money, after all.


    Thus, they decided to invest in apany as well. They would operate on their own and report back to


    the main branch so that they’d provide funds for investment purposes. This particrpany had


    already been given funds of over eighty million dors, but only those involved knew about the


    company.


    Everything seemed to be sailing so smoothly. The main branch had already approved of their funding


    requests, and they thought that with all the investments going around, they would never be found out.


    Besides, thepany had provided double insurances since they were using the name of another


    local business. Nothing should’ve gone wrong.

    “I have no idea what the higher-ups were smoking, but they’ve just decided to check in on our


    company! What more, they seemed to know what they were checking for! Since they weren’t able to


    bnce the financial statements, they had suspected that someone wasmitting fraud!”


    Stuart was having a panic attack. He knew that this was it.


    “It’s weird though! The business isn’t that big and we didn’t provide that much funding either! We even


    made sure to use another business’ name too! There’s no way they could have detected this that


    easily!”


    “I have no idea how either but that’s the least of my problems! The higher-ups are now investigating


    both the director and Mr. Wilson. I’m most likely going to go down with them too! Oh god, what should I


    do? If thepany decides to report us, we’ll be sentenced to jail!”


    Seeing how panicked he was, Ava began panicking herself. However, she suddenly had an idea.


    Patting herself on the head, she exined, “Wait, there may be a solution to this! Why don’t you use a


    scapegoat? They can take the full me for you then all your problems should be solved, right?”


    “Who though? This is serious business!”


    Ava thought for a while before snapping her fingers. “I think I have a n!”


    While all this was happening, Gerald was calmly filing documents for thepany.


    Fay simply smiled when she saw him working. “You’re so hardworking Gerald! You just keep on going,


    company afterpany!”


    Gerald simply smiled back before replying, “Well, I have to make sure that everything’s been checked.


    Besides, I quite enjoy doing this and I’ve learned a lot too!”


    The main reason thepany was being investigated on was because Ava had been boasting so


    much about Stuart’s achievements. When Gerald found out that Nathaniel and Stuart were very close,


    he immediately checked on the projects that they had proposed.


    After some investigating, he was able to detect multiple errors in their documents. One of the


    companies that Stuart had proposed was even under the name of Waylon’s father’s business.


    It wasn’t really that big of a deal at first, but how would a fairly sessfulpany not branch out?
