    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1416


    After saying that, Gerald began walking toward the entrance as well.


    By the time he got there, the other Mr. Crawford—who had been taking in deep breaths in preparation


    of greeting Mr. Lyle—quickly ran over to face Zack before excitedly saying, “Good day, Uncle Lyle! I’m


    Mateo’s ssmate, Jerome, and I wonder if you still remember me?”


    “M-Mr. Crawford…!” shouted Zack, his voice brimming with admiration as he looked upfront.


    “Y-you’re being too courteous, Uncle Lyle!” stuttered the nervous Jerome, unsure of what to even say.


    Westlyn found herself biting her lower lip as well. For Chairman Lyle to refer to Jerome as Mr.


    Crawford… Wasn’t Mr. Lyle giving him a bit too much respect?


    Whatever the case was, Jerome now looked extremely cool to the other girls.


    As for Mr. Zealey, even he was rather surprised by Chairman Lyle’s behavior. Regardless, he now


    knew that he truly couldn’t afford to offend Mr. Crawford. After all, even Chairman Lyle was referring to


    him as Mr. Crawford!


    As if all that wasn’t already shocking enough, dozens of prestigious-looking people—who had followed


    Zack in—instantly made full bows as they shouted aloud in unison, “Mr. Crawford!”


    By that point, Jerome was already pale with excitement. Feeling both satisfied and happy, Jerome


    replied, “U-Uncle Lyle, all of you… This isn’t the time to be making jokes…! No matter what it is, I’m still


    a junior before all of you!”


    “That’s right! While it’s true that Jerome is an excellent young man, remember that all of you have


    extremely high status and identities, Chairman Lyle! Treating him this way will only make him grow


    arrogant!” added Westlyn who had finally managed to summon the courage to interrupt the


    conversation.


    However, even before any of them could fully recover from their shock, what happened next was


    enough to make several of the girls feel like passing out.


    With an emotional expression on his face, Zack slowly knelt before them! Following that, the other


    wealthy and powerful figures in Weston did the same!


    “T-this…!” stuttered the speechless Jerome as he took a step backward, his eyes widened in shock.


    As seemingly endless streams of cold sweat beaded off his forehead, he suddenly realized that


    something was off… Wait. Was… Was Uncle Lyle and the other prestigious figures not looking at him


    this entire time…? Were they actually not calling out to him? But… They clearly called out for Mr.


    Crawford! Who else could they have been referring to? It didn’t make any sense!


    Westlyn herself was as dumbfounded as he was, unsure of what was even happening anymore.


    “Well, you’re all back early!” said a faint voice from behind Westlyn and the others at that moment.


    “Even if I’m on the other end of the world, I, Zack Lyle, will definitely rush back as soon as possible


    should I receive an order from you, Mr. Crawford!” replied Zack who already had tears in his eyes.

    From the looks of it, it seemed that he was aware that something had happened to the Crawfords.


    Regardless, Zack’s statement made everyone turn around to look at who Mr. Crawford actually was…


    The second she saw the person behind her, Westlyn’s eyes widened in shock as she muttered, “…G-


    Gerald…?”


    Not even bothering to look at Westlyn, Gerald then casually said, “Get up now and follow me into the


    study room. There’s something I’d like to ask you about!”


    “Right away, Mr. Crawford!” replied Zack as he instantly got to his feet.


    “…M-Mr. Crawford… He’s Mr. Crawford…?!” stuttered Mr. Zealey as he gulped, nearly wetting himself.


    As for Westlyn, she was now finding it difficult to even breathe. By god! To think that Gerald had


    actually been the legendary Mr. Crawford this entire time…! No wonder Harper was able to own a


    public listedpany! His benefactor was the legendary Mr. Crawford himself!


    As Westlyn felt like something bad was going to happen soon, Gerald himself simply continued walking


    to the study room, his hands still in his pockets.


    Wherever he went, businessmen—regardless of power and influence—immediately took a few steps


    back before bowing respectfully.


    By that point, all the utterly shocked girls from Westlyn’s group could only think of how cool Gerald now


    was…
