    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 799


    “Hey, you!” called out Bethany in amanding voice.


    Breaking from his daze, Gerald then looked at the girl who had shouted at him before asking, “What do


    you want?”


    The girl who was pointing at him looked to be in herte teens, and while she looked rather bizarre, she


    was also somewhat beautiful.


    “Are you all alone?” asked another girl as she ced a hand on her waist. It was the girl who had told


    Bethany about Gerald earlier.


    “I suppose you could say that!” replied Gerald as he nodded.


    “That’s rather pitiful to hear! How about this, Bethany wants to invite you over to pick tennis balls for us!


    At least you won’t be alone if you do that for us!” added the girl.


    Gerald remembered his sister telling him that since the Crawford family was so immensely huge with


    so manyplicated branches, it was normal for those within the family to not know who was who


    among the younger generation.


    “If something’s weighing your mind, it’ll only get worse if you continue dwelling on it alone! By picking


    our tennis balls, you’ll be able to forget all your worries!” shouted another girl.


    While Gerald’s first response was to smile bitterly, he couldn’t deny that what they had said made some


    sense. After all, as long as he could distract himself enough, he wouldn’t need to dwell on the incident.


    “Fine, I’ll do it!” replied Gerald.


    “Haha! He’s actually going to do it! Here hees!” said the girls smugly.


    “Great to hear. Now let’s continue our game, sisters! We can go all out now that someone is willing to


    pick our tennis balls for us!” said Bethany rather excitedly.


    However, before they could even resume ying, a woman walked up to them. Seeing the woman, all


    the girls immediately turned to look at her.


    The beautiful and graceful woman looked to be around twenty-six years old, and she seemed to have a


    rather good disposition.


    While the girls ying tennis earlier were all beautiful, none of them were even close in terms of beauty


    whenpared with the new woman. In fact, the woman’s beauty rivaled even that of many celebrities.


    Anyone who saw her felt somewhat obligated to lower their heads in respect.


    “You’re here, Lyra!” greeted Bethany and a few others upon seeing her.


    “I am indeed. Still, what time is it now I wonder… Why are all of you still ying here? The assembly is


    going tomence soon! Why don’t you bring Niki and the others along with you?” said Lyra in a


    gentle tone.


    “Alright!” replied Bethany. She then hit one final tennis ball to the side before leaving with the rest.


    Almost by reflex, Gerald began walking over to pick the tennis ball up. In his daze, he failed to realize


    that the ball hadnded in an area surrounded by prickly grass. By the time he finally noticed, he was


    staggering so much to leave the area then he ended up falling.


    His clothes, arms, and even his face was filled with tiny scratch marks from the grass.


    “Look there! That guy from earlier fell down!” said Nikki as she pointed at Gerald.


    “Just leave him be. After all, he was slow to react when we called him over to pick the tennis balls for


    us! He deserves it! Now let’s go!” said Bethany as she smiled at Lyra before heading on.


    Gerald himself sat on the grass, holding the tennis ball in his hand as he smiled bitterly. When he


    touched his face, it stung slightly.


    He simply couldn’t catch a break. Gerald truly was down on his luck ever since M’s disappearance.


    As people walked by, many of them mocked Gerald for being in such a pathetic state. Gerald, however,


    didn’t mind it. As long as he could feel slightly better after being mocked, so be it.

    “Your cheeks are all scratched up… It’s best if you wipe the grass off quickly,” said a feminine voice as


    a tissue was handed over to him.


    Looking to his side, Gerald saw Lyra squatting right next to him as she prompted him to take the tissue.


    “…Thank you!” replied Gerald as he immediately lowered his gaze in embarrassment after their eyes


    met. After all, she looked truly beautiful.


    “My word, even your arm is bleeding!” said Lyra as she took another tissue out and began gently


    wiping the blood off his arm.


    “Aren’t you the careless one… Which family do you belong to? You seem to be all alone here. Don’t


    you have any siblings…?”
