    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1197


    “…What… What on earth are you even talking about…?” asked Cundrie—who was still in tears—as


    she turned to look at him in disbelief, unsure of what he was even going on about.


    “Does he really think that he’s the real Mr. Crawford now? Do you think he’s gone cuckoo from the


    fear? Hahaha!”


    “I know, right? He’s even made an official invitation for Miss Smith to have a chat with him at Mountain


    Top Vi! What a clown!”


    “Hah! Does he even have the slightest of self-awareness?!”


    As several of thedies within that hall continued spitting contemptuous remarks at Gerald, Xyon


    returned with a new pair of pants on.


    The moment he saw everyone mocking Gerald, he became just as excited as his son was. By that


    point, even Abner’s girlfriend had forgotten the pain she had suffered from the p earlier.


    “That guy’s ruined for certain this time, dad! Not only had he impersonated Mr. Crawford’s servant


    earlier, but now he’s pretending to be Mr. Crawford himself! I’d like to see how he worms himself out of


    this one!” growled the woman viciously.


    As the situation grew more and more chaotic, the door to therge hall was slowly opened…


    Following that, one of the waiters shouted, “The distinguished guest has arrived!”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Knowing that the guest in question was a person from the Crawford family, silence ensued almost


    instantaneously as everyone—including Gerald and those atop the stage—turned to look at the door.


    Once the tworge doors were fully opened, around fifty Maybach cars could be seen parked by the


    red carpet leading out of the room. Secondster, the doors to all the cars were opened—almost


    simultaneously—and ck-suited bodyguards stepped out with extremely respectful stances.


    As everyone remained shocked and in awe of the scene, a middle-aged man was led to the red carpet


    by one of the guards, and he began calmly walking toward the crowd.


    Everyone who was still seated immediately stood up as Noel and the other Snyders quickly ran toward


    the door to greet the biggest of big shots within the business field.


    “We’ve been awaiting your arrival for the longest time, Mr. Lyle! You’re finally here!” greeted Noel as he


    made a sharp bow, prompting the other juniors of the Snyder family to do the same.


    “You’re being way too cordial, Chairman Snyder… I’m only a bitte since I had to deal with a few


    issues first!” replied the middle-aged man as he and the other guards began walking into therge hall.


    “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lyle!”


    “Thank you for taking the time toe over, Mr. Lyle!”


    As the others took turns nodding at and greeting the middle-aged man, Cundrie couldn’t help but feel—


    as she looked at Mr. Lyle and his bodyguards—that the Crawford family’s presence alone was able to


    immediately change the atmosphere of the area.


    Even the Crawford bodyguards themselves felt simultaneously imposing and awe-inspiring. However,


    she, of all people, knew that this wasn’t the time for her to admire the Crawfords.


    In all honesty, Cundrie was beyond terrified now. She was afraid that someone would expose the


    incident that had happened earlier. Should that happen, then the fate of the Smith family would


    definitely be changed.


    Mrs. Smith was arguably even more afraid than her daughter was, and she kept her head low the entire


    time, looking very much like a primary school student who had just made a mistake and was now


    waiting to be scolded by the teacher.


    As they say, however, the more afraid one is of something happening, the more likely it will happen.


    At that moment, Xyon took a step forward before saying, “Speaking of which, Chairman Lyle, there’s an


    incident I wish to inform you about. You see, before you arrived, someone impersonated Mr. Crawford


    in hopes of deceiving all of us!”


    There were two reasons why he was doing this. Firstly, he wanted to show where he stood before


    Chairman Lyle. By making a contribution, the Gross family could potentially earn a chance for massive


    development.


    As for the second reason, he simply wanted to use the opportunity to get rid of that b*stard in order to


    avenge his son.


    “…Hmm? Is that so…?” replied Chairman Lyle as his expression instantly turned grim.


    The forty over bodyguards standing behind him—who hadn’t taken their seats yet despite there being


    special chairs arranged for them—found themselves frowning deeply as well. To them, Mr. Crawford


    was a man with extraordinary status, and whoever dared to disrespect him had to die!


    “…Have you investigated who that person is?” asked Chairman Lyle in a frigid tone.


    Filled with delight—and d that he had changed his pants earlier—Xyon then ran toward Chairman


    Lyle while shouting in a clear voice…
