    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1013


    “Ah, so it turns out that you have a rather distinguished guest here today! I apologize for taking quite a


    bit of your time… However, I do wonder who the guest could be for you to give him such high respect,


    Chairman Lovewell. After all, you’re an extremely powerful and influential person yourself!” said Xavia


    as she smiled while straightening her hair.


    “Haha! Due to the undergoing treasure exchange event, there are currently plenty of other


    distinguished people in the Logan Province! However, the distinguished guest I have with me now is a


    little different from the others… Regardless, why don’t we discuss other things for the moment? Worry


    not, for I’ll definitely find the time to carefully read through your cooperation proposal. Actually, since


    the event won’t end until a few more days, why don’t you stay here for the meantime, Miss Yorke?


    Once the treasure exchange event is over, we’ll officially negotiate how things will go. What do you


    think?”


    “It would be an honor, Chairman Lovewell,” replied Xavia with a smile.


    The rest of the day was rather uneventful, and the next day soon came.


    To start her day off, Xavia brought her subordinates along with her as she strolled around Lovewell


    Manor. The manor itself was huge and several vis and VIP areas existed within it.


    Upon arriving at one of the VIP areas, however, Xavia’s walk was halted by a few guards who said,


    “Apologies, Miss Yorke, but no one is allowed to enter this area aside from Chairman Lovewell.”


    “No, it was rude of me to attempt to enter this area in the first ce. Still, I wonder how distinguished


    the guest staying here truly is… I happen to recall hearing about a ‘Mr. Crawford’ who seemed ratherBelonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    important to Chairman Lovewell… Could Mr. Crawford currently be residing within that room…?” asked


    Xavia as she shed them a smile.


    However, none of the bodyguards responded to her question.


    Due to that, Xavia found herself frowning slightly as she then walked away.


    “Please do not be saddened, miss. The Lovewells are known to have a lot of secrets,” consoled one of


    her subordinates as they walked on.


    “Well, I’m just worried that that Mr. Crawford ends up being ourpetitor. Should that truly be the


    case, then won’t everything that the Long family has done so fare to no avail? That Zander truly is


    a cunning and secretive man… Even after talking to him for so long yesterday, I still can’t make heads


    or tails of what he truly thinks! How could he have remained so calm when we’re presenting him with a


    contract worth a billion and five hundred million dors?” replied Xavia as she crossed her arms.


    “Well, for now, let’s just wait until the event is over. We’ll see what he’ll say about it then. Speaking of


    the event, why don’t you head there and have a look around as well? This could be a chance for you to


    get in contact with businessmen from various other ces. Should that happen, then you’ll certainly


    end up helping the Long family by a great deal!”


    “While that may be true, I’m honestly not all that interested in that event.”


    “Where do you propose we should go then?”


    “Humph! Well, since Zander did mention my cousins and rtives yesterday, I may as well use the


    opportunity to pay them a visit. After all, it’s been a good… seven? Or maybe even eight years since


    I’vest met them!” replied Xavia, a slight glint of contempt in her eyes as she said that.


    Moments after she said that, a group of foreigners passed by her and her guards.


    As Xavia nodded at them with a smile, she failed to notice thescivious gaze of the other group’s


    leader when he looked at her.


    It was a littleter when the sound of a doorbell ringing could be heard within a small neighborhood.


    As soon as the door opened, a woman who looked to be around forty instantly forced on a smile when


    she realized who hade to visit.


    “Oh my, and here I was wondering who was at the door! So it’s you, Xavia! It’s been what? Eight years


    since we’vest met? You’re all grown up now! Regardless, what business brings you to my door? We


    ceased contact years ago, didn’t we?” said the woman, her words filled with contempt as she blocked


    the door, preventing Xavia from entering.


    Xavia herself could hear quite a bit of noiseing from inside. It was evident that the woman currently


    had several guests.


    “Dear aunt, it’s exactly because it’s been so long that I came over to visit. Is it wrong for me to miss


    you?” replied Xavia with a cold smile as she gently pushed her aunt aside and invited herself in.


    “…H-hey! You can’t just do that!” scowled her aunt furiously


    Just as Xavia had guessed, there truly were several guests inside. With both men and women of all


    ages, all of them were still talking andughing with each other—while sitting on couches—until they


    finally realized that Xavia was present.


    From that moment onward, the atmosphere instantly turned tense.


    “…Well now, if it isn’t Xavia! And here I was wondering who hade over! What a rare guest! What a


    fine woman you’ve grown into!”
