The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 431
Waylon was definitely asking Jaxon for help.
However, before they could hear about the specifics, Waylon had already hung up. This was because he had noticed Xella and
the rest entering the room.
“I’m so sorry Waylon! It’s all my fault!” said Xella apologetically.
“What are you talking about Xella? I was just caught by surprise when they started beating us up without even making the
situation clear first! Don’t worry, my dad’s subordinates are dealing with them right now! My dad’s heard about your troubles as
well!” said Waylon in a fierce voice.
Xella was just about to say something when her phone began ringing.
Taking in a deep breath, she answered it. It was only a brief talk and she hung up not long after.
“...It’s all over now! The call was from my president and he informed me that I was fired!” said Xella weakly.
She knew that she had just lost her chance of having a great career. Since she was now fired, she would no longer be able to
enter any excellent subsidiary companies or investment in companies under the Dream Investment Group.
It was all gone.
“...What? You were fired?”
Somehow Waylon had never considered that possibility. At first, all he wanted to do was to show off his capabilities in front of
Xella.
His goal was to make her admire and fall in love with him.
He had fought and taken a beating to help her but not only did that fail to resolve Xella’s issue, it only increased her burdens
since she was now essentially jobless.
“Waylon... what should we do now? It definitely feels like they’ll continue to harass Xella!” asked Rae, being the meddling person
she was.

“Don’t forget! We still have Waylon’s father on our side! He’s definitely much more powerful than some deputy manager!”
sneered a male classmate as he analyzed the situation.
At that moment, Waylon’s phone rang.
He picked it up immediately.
“How is it, dad? ...What did you say? Oh god. Alright, I got it. What about me? Alright, dad. I get it!”
When he finally hung up, his face was pale and his hand was trembling so much that the phone dropped onto the bed.
“...Waylon? What’s wrong?” asked Xella, concerned.
“...It’s all over for me. The person who had beaten me up was the senior executive from the headquarters. Though dad wanted
to manipulate his connections with Jaxon, in the end, Jaxon is just a driver. He’s definitely not as influential as that senior
executive... What more, the senior executive has worked for Mr. Michael Zeke before... He’s Mr. Zeke’s loyal confidant! Even
Jaxon doesn’t want to get involved in this. My dad’s begging them now and he called to tell me to apologize to that deputy
manager tonight!”
Waylon wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve.
Xella was in utter dismay.
So it turns out that Waylon was also in deep trouble.
“AlsoXella... My dad told me... told all of us not to act too rashly anymore... Charlie had harassed you in the company. The issue
could have been solved easily with you filing a complaint to your superiors... They’d definitely punish that pervert severely once
they find out about his misdeeds... All that we’ve done today has only made the situation much, much worse... Nothing is going
right. I’m in deep trouble now and you lost your job too!” said Waylon in an uncharacteristically soft tone. He was finally speaking
like a humble person now.
Hearing that, Xella felt as if someone had given her the exact same advice before...
As her view panned across the wardroom, she noticed Gerald standing by the door. Of course. It was exactly as Gerald had
advised her to do when they had met outside the washrooms earlier.
Before this, she had thought that Gerald was inexperienced. She had even disapproved of his suggestion...

In the end, if she had only followed his advice, none of this would have happened. The matter could have been resolved easily.
But it was too late to regret it...
The classmates then tried to cheer the mood by sharing possible positive outcomes from today’s events. However deep inside,
they all knew that they were just consoling each other.
At that moment, Xella’s phone rang again.
She picked the call up and just like before, she only talked for a short while.
However, the details of the call seemed to be either very shocking or very important to Xella. This was because nearing the end
of the call, her eyes were wide open and an expression of utter disbelief was painted on her face.
“Xella? What’s wrong?”
It took Xela a while to answer as she was still dumbfounded by the call.
“The boss... My company’s boss called me in person just now. He told me that I could resume my work there and that I was
going to be transferred to the personnel department. I’ll work as a trainee there and I’ll even be given training so that I’ll be able
to hold much higher posts in the department in the future... He even apologized to me about the issue regarding Charlie... He
told me that Charlie had been fired and he even said that it was a decision made by the superiors!”
“...Eh?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 432
Everyone was stunned. In their minds, they were all thinking the same thing.
‘...What? That’s such a drastic change! And so quickly too!’
“...Xella, I definitely think that someone’s been pulling the strings behind the scenes to help you... Otherwise, why would your
boss even step forward to deal with the pervert in the first place? Investigating the matter doesn’t require the boss’s involvement
and yet he still called your personal number to apologize! What more, the pervert’s been fired!”
“I agree. You said it yourself that the decision was made by the superiors. Someone must definitely have used their connections
to do this!”

Rae and the others were openly discussing their speculations now.
“I think that’s the case as well. It’s extremely difficult to get appointed as a potential trainee for the personnel department. I can’t
help but wonder who has that much power to make even the boss and my superiors take action...” said Xella as she rubbed her
temple gently.
Suddenly, she froze before looking up and fixing her gaze on Gerald.
“Gerald!” she unconsciously shouted as she stood up.
“...Eh? Gerald?”
Everyone else in the room looked at him in shock.
Gerald had not expected Xella’s reaction, even though she was right.
Earlier when the rest were discussing among themselves, Gerald had left the wardroom to give Zach a call. Zach was ordered to
resolve the issue as soon as he could.
Now that everything had been resolved, it surprised Gerald that Xella could guess the truth so quickly.
“I think I know who helped me, Gerald!” she said as she walked toward him.
“You know, thinking back, on our way here you had said that we shouldn’t look down on others since they may be the only
people who can help us in the end, even though we had initially looked down on them. Thank you for reminding me about this
Gerald!” Xella continued to express her gratitude to Gerald.
‘You think you know who helped you?’ Gerald thought to himself. Did that mean that the cat wasn’t out of the bag yet?
She then began explaining. “I was hired by the deputy manager from the personnel department. He’s a diligent young manager
and every time we meet, he nods slightly and says a simple greeting. Though it doesn’t sound like much, I think that he’s been
the one helping me a lot in secret!”
“At first, I simply thought that he was an honest and well-behaved man who only focused his attention on his work. Thinking
back, however, he may be much more humble and sophisticated than I thought. I’m saying this now because I heard from my
colleagues the other day that he may not be who he portrays himself to be!” said Xella.

Gerald’s confusion was cleared the moment she finished her explanation. So she had guessed wrong after all, though it didn’t
really bother him.
Xella however, still felt the need to confirm her theory so she called up a close female colleague of hers.
“Hello? Lyla? Do you still remember our talk about the deputy manager from the personnel department? I think I remember you
saying that he’s a cousin to a superior? Alright. Yeah, it’s nothing. Thanks! You can resume your work now!”
After hanging up, Xella looked so excited that even her eyes were now teary.
“Xella? Are you really sure it was him? Does he like you or something?” asked Rae, her inevitable jealousy firing up again.
“Whether he likes me or not, I’m unsure. However, I’m sure that he’s helped me several times in secret by now. He must have
been one of the first people to find out that I was getting fired! Whatever the case, I’ll ask him to clarify all this when I get to work
tomorrow!”
“I’m so jealous of all of you. Morgana was helped by Cameron so she’s now an official doctor while Xella has both Waylon and
the deputy manager constantly aiding her! Sharon even has a rich heir as her partner! I don’t have anything that fancy!” said Rae
while biting her lower lip in jealousy. She glanced at the tycoon once without saying anything else.
Morgana could only smile bitterly at her statement while she consoled Rae.
“Don’t say that, Rae. The tycoon isn’t that bad! Also, since you’re so free standing there, could you get some hot water?” asked
Morgana as she turned to look at Gerald.
‘Really? Everyone else is standing here doing nothing too!’ Gerald sighed as he thought to himself.
Still, he couldn’t refuse so he simply walked over to a table with an empty glass jug on it.
“Dr. Lopez, both the president and the vice president are coming to the ward now!” said a nurse who had stuck her head into the
room. After passing the message, she left.
“Eh? The president is coming?” asked Morgana, shocked.
Waylon was shocked as well. “Maybe the president found out that I had been admitted to the hospital so he’s coming over to pay
me a visit. Xella, come help me up. My dad is acquainted with the president so I need to look my best.”
Seconds ago, Waylon was honestly still angry that his moment had been snatched away by Xella’s deputy manager.

However, knowing that the president was personally coming over to meet him calmed his rage slightly. As Xella supported him,
he slowly got to his feet, feeling slightly excited.
Gerald on the other hand, wanted to leave the room since the number of people there was going to increase again. He grabbed
the jug and headed for the door to get some hot water.
At that moment, the door opened and in front of him, was the president himself.
“Oh? Mr. Crawford, what are you doing here?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 433
He rubbed his hands together excitedly as he asked the question, a smile on his face.
“...Eh? Mr. Crawford?”
The others in the ward were dumbfounded when they heard the name.
This was especially the case for Waylon who had been ready to greet the president and act smugly in front of the others. He was
twice as stunned as anyone else in the room.
‘Why did he address Gerald as Mr. Crawford?’
“You know who I am, president?” asked Gerald. He was stunned as well.
“Of course I do! Back then when Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, I went to pay him a visit as well. However, I
wasn’t able to catch you in time before you left!” said the president as he continued to smile.
Thinking about his words, Gerald pieced the puzzle together quickly.
When Mr. Winters had been admitted to the hospital, he had bumped into Morgana at the cafeteria. Back then, Morgana was
troubled with her issue at work.
When he left and met up with Zack later, he had told him about Morgana’s job issues.
Though her issues were eventually resolved, the credit had been snatched by Cameron in the end.
It must have been sometime then when the president had heard about Gerald.

Thinking back, Mr. Winters had also mentioned the president visiting him a while back ago though Gerald hadn’t paid it much
notice then.
“Mr. Crawford, I heard from the head nurse that you were here so I specifically came over to meet you! Do tell us if you have any
requests. We’ll get it done immediately!” continued the president.
He then looked at Morgana who had been standing beside them. “Look here, Mr. Crawford! After being recommended by you,
Morgana is now an official doctor here! She’s quite a diligent and responsible employee so she’s been receiving high praise from
both the patients and our staff! It was kind of you to recommend such a good and talented person to us!” The smile on the
president’s face widened as he said that.
The two of them continued to chat about some other things. A few talented people who had been standing behind the president
shook hands with Gerald before all of them finally left.
Back then, Gerald had simply told Zack to use his connections in the province to resolve Morgana’s issues. Gerald wasn’t even
directly part of that.
However, it would seem that the president was quite a capable man himself. After all, he managed to learn that Zack was just
Gerald’s subordinate acting under Gerald’s orders.
When their backs could no longer be seen, Gerald turned to look back into the room.
It was then when he realized that all his classmates had been looking at him in shock.
This was especially true for Waylon. He appeared stupefied as he stood beside his bed, frozen in place.
So the president hadn’t come to meet him. He had come to personally meet Gerald alone! How humiliating!
“...I’ll uh... Go get some hot water first!” said Gerald before turning for the door once more.
“G-Gerald!”
It was Morgana who had called out to him, a look of disbelief on her face.
“...Yes? What’s wrong, Morgana?” asked Gerald.
“Was... Was it you who had helped me? Were you the reason why I managed to become an official doctor here so easily?”

The president had clearly said that earlier. That it was Gerald who had recommended such a good doctor to the hospital.
Back when she first got the job, even she was puzzled. She simply assumed that it was Cameron who had helped her.
Her father had even thanked Cameron’s father for that! However Cameron’s father just appeared to be a cold and aloof man.
The extent of his hospitality to her father was a single glass of water before sending him off.
If it truly was Cameron who had helped her, why would that have happened?
It all made sense now. It was Gerald who had been helping her from the start.
It turned out that Gerald was quite close to the president.
“Well, yes. It’s no big deal though. I’m just lucky to know a few relevant people so I told them about you,” said Gerald as he
smiled softly.
Morgana was filled with regret after hearing that.
She remembered the first time she had met Gerald again after such a long time. She had only treated him to a meal in the
cafeteria while Cameron was treated to a grand feast in a magnificent hotel.
The actual person who had thought about her future and helped her resolve all her issues was Gerald.
Looking at Gerald again, Morgana found herself looking at him in a different light.
“...Oh god. Gerald, you were driving that Mercedes-Benz G-Class earlier! You even have such great connections with influential
people! What exactly are you working as now, Gerald?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 434

The question had come from Rae.
“What did you say? He’s driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?” said Waylon, shocked.
Thinking back, Gerald had simply smiled calmly at the side while Waylon was showing off his car earlier.
He had thought that it was jealousy, but Gerald was just having fun looking at the fool showing his Audi A4L car off! With the
current price of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, that amount of money could easily buy eight or nine Audi A4L cars!

“As I said before, I won it as a prize! It’s just a vehicle to help me get around,” said Gerald calmly as he smiled.
He then put the jug down and left the ward.
Xella had not said anything, but she now respected Gerald more than she ever had.
He had simply left the ward once the issues had been resolved without expecting any appreciation at all.
In her mind, she knew that even though she had constantly thought that others had been helping her, Gerald didn’t care as long
as there were no more issues.
Even by the time Gerald had gotten into his car, his classmates had not moved an inch. They were still staring at each other in
shock that he had just left like that.
While Gerald drove on, his phone began to ring.
It surprised him slightly that the caller was Tammy but he still picked up.
“Gerald, please advise Giya to come home. Mr. Quarrington’s been extremely anxious. He’s tried to call Giya several times now
but her phone’s probably been switched off. She isn’t even replying to any of my messages anymore! Please advise her, I’ll meet
up with her this afternoon!” said Tammy.
Hearing that, Gerald was momentarily stunned.
He immediately stopped his car at the side of the road. “What? What do you mean he’s worried? Hasn’t Giya gone home?”
He knew very well that Giya had said that she would return home before she left. Gerald hadn’t even contacted her at all since
then.
He had thought that it was fine just ending it like that.
After all, he couldn’t let her stay, otherwise it would only increase the chances of Mila misunderstanding in the future.
Where had she gone? And why couldn’t anyone contact Giya now?
“...Eh? What? What do you mean by that? I was still able to contact her yesterday before I found out that I couldn’t even reach
her anymore today. She had put on a great show and now her father is truly scared. Please don’t pretend anymore, her dad isn’t
at my home. Pass the phone to Giya now!” said Tammy.

She wanted to think that Gerald was only pretending.
“Tammy, I’m dead serious. Don’t scare me please. You left my place three days ago and the morning after that, Giya had ridden
a car back to Mayberry. She said that she was going to get engaged with Yacob the moment she returned home.”
Gerald dabbed his sleeve against his forehead as cold sweat began to form.
He explained to Tammy everything that had happened the day Giya had left.
“D*mn it! Even if that’s the case, we should still be able to reach her but we can’t! Did she really tell you that she was going to be
engaged with Yacob?”
“Who else could it be?”
“I’m just going to say this. The person she was supposed to get engaged with isn’t Yacob. It’s a man from Yanken known only by
others as Mr. Long. However, Giya doesn’t want to be with him so she ran away from home. I suspect that she went to you with
several excuses in mind just in case you wouldn’t take her in! Oh, Giya... Now I’m just worried that something has happened to
her!” cried out Tammy in a worried voice.
After sharing whatever they knew about the situation, Gerald hung up before immediately trying to call Giya.
However, it was true. Her phone had indeed been turned off.
He tried contacting her through other social media as well but the result was the same.
‘F*cking hell! What happened, Giya!’
‘Even though her disappearance isn’t directly related to me, the last place she was seen at was still my place!’
Gerald was deeply upset and he was filled with self-reproach.
‘If I hadn’t said those things Giya may not have left in the first place...’
‘If only I had given her a call after she had left, I might still know where she is now.’
‘But it’s too late for that. I wouldn’t have been able to anticipate this happening anyway. Something’s happened to Giya and I
need to find her immediately.’

‘Tammy had also said that she thought Giya was still together with me.’
Gerald scratched his head in frustration. In his mind, there were countless possibilities of things that could have happened to her.
Each possibility he thought of only made him even more frightened than the previous one.
He smacked his steering wheel hard to calm himself down a little.
Shaking his head, he then turned the car around immediately.
He was now returning to Mayberry...
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 435
While all this was happening, a sigh was heard. “Tammy, Mr. Quarrington is extremely nervous now. He’s even gone to the police
station to launch a report. What should we do? How much longer should we wait here for that Gerald?”
Something had happened to Giya and her family and friends definitely knew about it.
The one who had sighed was one of Giya’s roommates.
They were all now waiting for Gerald at the entrance of Mayberry University.
Tammy had agreed to meet him there on the phone earlier.
Since Mr. Quarrington had gone to make a police report, Tammy and the others had acted sensibly by going to the university.
Informing and sharing what they knew with the university was really all that they could do at that moment.
“Let’s just wait for him. He’s the one who knows most about the situation since Giya was last seen at his place. However, he’s
not free from being taught a lesson by us later! Her disappearance is still related to him!” said Tammy angrily.
The other girls were angry as well. They had decided that they would beat him up as soon as he arrived.
“D*mn it! How did Giya ever get bewitched by such a loser! What more, he hadn’t even bothered to contact her since the day she
left!” said the girls angrily.
All of a sudden, a girl pointed toward the road. “Hey, Hey all of you! That’s a Mercedes-Benz G-Class! The driver must be a
handsome guy!”

“For god’s sake, Yvette! Read the mood a little! How could you still have more interest in luxury cars and handsome men at this
moment!”
Though the roommate had said that, she and the rest of the girls still ended up staring at the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It was,
after all, a magnificent and cool looking car.
“...Hey. Look at the window. Doesn’t that look a bit like Gerald?” said Yvette.
“As if that could ever be possible! He’s a poor loser! I’m expecting him to appear before us on a bike!” scolded Tammy.
However, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class was coming closer.
Gerald hit the brakes once the car was in front of them and got out of the car immediately.
“What’s the situation like?” he asked anxiously.
After a short silence, one of the roommates screamed.
Tammy and the others were equally as astounded.
They had always had the impression that he was just a regular poor loser. But here he was! Driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class!
Tammy had initially assumed that she knew Gerald inside out. However at that moment, all she could do gape her mouth in
shock.
“Why do you have a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, Gerald?” she finally managed to ask.
“I got it a while back but is that really what’s important now? What’s the situation like?” asked Gerald again.
Tammy gulped, suppressing the shock that she was still feeling.
She then told him the details of the current situation. In short, it didn’t look very promising.
Despite having launched a police report, not much progress had been done. No further clues had been uncovered either.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Quarrington were worried out of their minds now.
At first, they had been quite upset to know that the Longs from Yanken had wanted to force a marriage on their daughter to
marry their son.

Now that Giya was missing, the weights on their chests had been doubled. Their grief was immeasurable.
As Gerald heard all of this, his self-reproach only intensified.
As for Tammy and the others, they didn’t dare to beat Gerald up now after seeing his Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Their tones had
turned polite as well.
“However, you don’t have to worry that much, Gerald. I’ve thought up a plan. See, my cousin, Felicia, had told me that one of her
classmates was in charge of controlling the live broadcasts of a famous anchor. A month ago, their live studio had asked for help
from their fans to look for a young boy who had been missing for several years. Shockingly enough, by investigating through
different social media and forums, they actually succeeded in finding him!”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 436
“I’ve called Felicia and told her about the situation. She’s told me that she’ll try to get her classmate to help us. Hopefully it goes
well! With the help of the anchor’s fans, we could finally locate where Giya is! There is strength in numbers after all!” said
Tammy.
Gerald nodded. He thought that it was a good idea.
Normal people didn’t understand the true capabilities of those who worked with mass media and those who treated the internet
like their second home.
As long as one was willing to research, the information they needed would definitely be found.
Gerald called Drake and Tyson to investigate the matter as well. None of them were taking any chances.
“Felicia’s here!”
At that moment, a black car parked by the road and Tammy’s little cousin hopped out. A handsome man in glasses guided her
toward the group.
Gerald had met Felicia the other day along with Tammy, so he knew who she was.
She definitely knew what had happened to Giya since the moment she saw Gerald, she rolled her eyes in disgust.
“I’ve brought Quade along, Tammy. He’s my classmate. As I’ve explained earlier in the car, Giya’s missing. We would like to ask
for you to broadcast a missing person report so that the anchor’s fans can help look for her! We’ll definitely pay for it!” said

Felicia.
Quade adjusted his glasses slightly before saying, “You don’t need to worry about the pay. The Internet Celebrity Carnival is
coming soon and the anchorwoman is thinking of doing some charity to increase her influence. It’s definitely not a problem! ”
“Also, her office is here in the city of Mayberry University. I’ll bring all of you over to meet her. You can then give her a general
understanding of the situation!”
“...Wait, is the anchorwoman you’re referring to Felicity?” asked Gerald, stunned.
Quade simply sneered as he looked at Gerald. “Who else could it be? You?”
“Oh god, Gerald! I asked my classmate to come look for Giya! You’re just looking for the anchorwoman! Could you please stop
being such a loser you b*stard?” said Felicia coldly.
“That’s enough. Time is ticking so let’s just use it to find Giya with Quade’s help!” said Tammy.
“Alright! Get in the car, I’ll bring you there!”
At first, Gerald had thought that tackling the issue would be slightly inefficient if they didn’t know who the anchor was.
Now that he knew that it was none other than Felicity, he became slightly more excited and hopeful.
Since Felicity had become famous with the help of Ordinary Man, she would definitely listen to him.
As Gerald opened the door of his car, a shout was heard.
“Oh my god, is that a Mercedes-Benz G-Class?” Felicia asked, stunned.
“Gerald, is that car yours?”
“Just get in the car already!” said Gerald in resignation.
Quade had a surprised look on his face. He adjusted his glasses again. Though Gerald looked like a loser, he drove such a
luxurious car.
Tammy drove her own car as they set off. Gerald knew the way there well. Soon, they reached the Entrepreneur Base which
belonged to the university students.

Quade worked there. He was a person who had never finished high school yet he dreamed of becoming an internet celebrity. In
the end, he became the person who controlled the live broadcasts for Felicity.
“Miss Dunn, Tammy and the others are here!” said Quade as he brought Gerald and the others into the office.
A girl had her back facing them when they first saw her. She was none other than Gerald’s classmate, Yvonne Dunn.
“Ah, alright...”
When she turned to walk toward them in her high heels, she was momentarily stunned.
“Gerald? Why are you here?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 437
Yvonne had been working as Felicity’s assistant which explained why she was there. She was clearly shocked when she saw
Gerald there.
“Don’t worry about it first. More importantly, we need your help!”
It felt like ages ago since Gerald had last met Yvonne and Felicity.
They had not met face to face since the day he had saved them when they were kidnapped.
Gerald felt slightly uneasy talking to them now.
“Wait here for a moment. Felicity’s still having her makeup done. I’ll tell her that you’re all here first!”
Yvonne wasn’t as mean as she used to be toward Gerald now.
A lot had happened since then and it probably really was Gerald who had saved the four of them. Gerald definitely held quite a
bit of power and influence. They knew that much.
Now, Yvonne wanted to instead try to please Gerald. Felicity clearly had the same thought process.
His background was suspicious to them, to say the least.
They were in such grave danger back then yet nobody would have been able to help since nobody even knew that they had
been kidnapped.

Well, except for Gerald of course.
What more, the incidents regarding Cassandra’s power bank and Gerald’s coat being left behind in the Maybach car also further
increased their suspicion. His items just seemed to be present whenever such a situation occurred.
Once they reached that conclusion, Felicity decided to treat Gerald better.
“Gerald? Why are you here?” asked Felicity as she walked toward the group. She had only light makeup on, but she was still
very charming and attractive.
It was a surprise to Tammy and the others.
It had never occurred to them that internet celebrities could look so charming even with basic makeup on.
Tammy, Felicia, and Quade, however, looked even more shocked. “You know her Gerald?”
“She’s my classmate of course she would!” said Gerald calmly.
“Gerald, this Giya girl. What’s your relationship with her?” asked Yvonne slightly anxiously.
“She’s a good friend. Please ask for help from your fans to look for her. Once she’s found, there’ll definitely be a reward waiting
for you!”
Gerald was in no mood to keep a low profile at that moment so every word he said sounded dominant and strong.
However, both Felicity and Yvonne didn’t think that it was out of place.
They had speculated about his true identity long enough, and this only served to prove that their theories were right.
“I’ll help. However, I’ll need you to come into my office with me, Gerald. I need to talk to you about something personally. Yvonne,
please serve Quade’s friends for me.”

Felicity then turned around and re-entered her office.
Gerald followed after her.
In his mind, he had already concluded that both girls already knew his true identity by now.

It was because he wasn’t careful enough the few times he had saved them. He had left behind enough clues for them to piece
the puzzle together.
Why else would Felicity ask him to enter her office? In fact, Yvonne would have scolded him immediately and kicked him out if
she didn’t know who he really was.
However, Gerald wasn’t one to hold resentment toward Felicity, even if she had constantly remarked sarcastically at him in the
past.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed her to become the famous anchorwoman that she was today.
“I’ll make this clear, I’ll definitely help you with this no matter what. However, Gerald, could you please tell me something and be
truthful about it? Are you Ordinary Man? And are you also Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?”
Felicity bit her lower lip as she finally decided to ask Gerald face to face.
Felicity had had extremely complicated feelings the moment she met Gerald again after quite some time.
Was Gerald really the person that she had liked all this time?
Ordinary Man had always treated her well.
Although they had never personally met, Felicity had grown to have feelings for him after receiving his help a few times. It was
the kind of feeling that just stuck strongly to her heart.
It had also been the reason why she felt nothing whenever other rich and young men tried to gain her affection or help her.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 438
Recently after Felicity had become famous, several men who were both handsome and rich began stepping up to help her.
Once, she had a minor fever but even then, a few young and rich men had driven over to her place to send her medicine in
person.
Some of them would even chat with her every night.
Technically, by doing all that for her, those men were already good enough to reach her ‘partner standards’.
Ordinary Man himself had not spoken much with Felicity for a few months now. She had never met him in person either.

Despite all that, Felicity still felt nothing for the others.
It was definite proof of her admiration toward Ordinary Man.
She had even imagined how he looked, countless times.
However, with every passing clue that she got, it further revealed the fuller picture that Ordinary Man was none other than the
person that she had always looked down upon, Gerald. How could she not have complicated feelings about that?
‘Could it really be Gerald?’
‘If it is, then is Gerald the one for me? Will I... Will I still love him?’
‘I honestly can’t believe that I’ve fallen for Gerald!’
Such questions and thoughts would fill her mind from the day they last met at the restaurant.
She had been constantly anxious about it, and she was now more anxious than ever with him standing before her.
She couldn’t hold herself back anymore so she asked him for the truth.
“And what if I were? Would you still like me?” asked Gerald back, a bitter smile on his face.
Felicity bit her lower lip slightly before shaking her head. “I... I don’t know! I don’t know if I’d be able to like you even if you truly
are Ordinary Man!”
Gerald chuckled at this. “You’re just overthinking this. How on earth could I ever be Ordinary Man?”
Though his voice was calm, his face couldn’t fully hide his unease. Gerald was having complicated feelings as well as he looked
at Felicity.
Gerald was afraid that meeting her again in the future would be awkward if she knew the truth, so he kept silent about his
identity.
After what had happened with Giya, Gerald now knew better not to flirt with other girls if he wasn’t determined to give them
happiness and good prospects in the future.

He was aware as well, that Felicity would definitely be in great pain and confusion if he admitted to her claim. There was nothing
to be gained by doing so.
“I don’t buy it! You’re definitely lying about that!” said Felicity as she stared straight into Gerald’s eyes.
“Gerald, please... I... I just want to hear the truth from you. If you tell me the truth, I’ll... I’ll share some information with you! I’m
positive that you’ll definitely find the news interesting. How about that?” asked Felicity as she slowly approached Gerald.
“I’m neither Mr. Crawford, nor am I Ordinary Man. There are no lies there. I just won the lottery and it was a great amount of
money. If I really were Mr. Crawford, why would I ever keep such a low profile? Besides, Mr. Crawford comes from a huge family.
We’ve been in the same class for the past three years now. Do I look like someone who comes from a huge family?” replied
Gerald.
Felicity simply nodded.
Despite that, she still couldn’t bring herself to hate Gerald anymore, even if he wasn’t Mr. Crawford or Ordinary Man.
“...Fine! I’ll believe what you said for now! Also, are you interested in the information?” she asked while shaking her head to
regain her composure.
“What happened?”
“Half a month ago, I attended a function in Yanken. I bumped into a girl there!”
As Felicity said that, she peeked at Gerald. She was curious to see what reaction he would give.
“Go on. Do I know that girl?” asked Gerald.
“Of course you do. You’re quite close to her as well!”
“I hadn’t expected to bump into her there, but here’s the thing. She’s changed drastically! If you ever plan to meet her again, I
can guarantee that you’ll find yourself very surprised!”
Gerald couldn’t help scratching the back of his head in confusion.
“She’s Xavia! Your ex! Could you already have forgotten about her?” said Felicity when she realized that he still couldn’t guess
who the girl was.

“Xavia?”
It was Gerald’s turn to be shocked this time.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 439
“Xavia’s in Yanken?”
He was stunned just hearing that name again. He hadn’t heard from her for months.
He felt a sudden excruciating pain in his heart.
After all, he had been a couple with Xavia for two years. His memories at Mayberry University mostly consisted of both of them
being together. However, she had severely hurt his feelings. At one point, Gerald felt only resentment toward her.
After he revealed his identity as Mr. Crawford to her, he became quite cold toward Xavia.
She received such a great blow from that, that she dropped out of university.
Since that happened, any resentment he had for her ceased to exist.
He was instead filled with self-reproach.
In the past, he had nothing. Yet Xavia didn’t dislike him for that. She still chose to be with him.
They had their meals together, and even went shopping together.
While it was true that Xavia had changed in the end, she was much better compared to Alice and the others.
After all, she hadn’t been disgusted with him for being poor. That was what touched Gerald back then since most girls naturally
preferred rich partners.
His coldness back then literally ruined her future, to the point where she could not even complete her studies at the university.
Gerald had pondered before about getting someone to look for Xavia. If he was able to find her, he could provide her with a job
that had a steady income and good prospects. He would be able to rest much easier if he knew she could still sustain herself.
However, Gerald gave up on that idea because he felt that she would hate him even more if she ever found out.

“What kind of response even is that? Are you happy? Excited? Or maybe you’re just blaming yourself in your head now?” Felicity
asked curiously.
“How is she now? Is she doing well?” asked Gerald, ignoring her question.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about her. Honestly, she’s doing great! She’s living such a good life that it’ll definitely be beyond
your expectations. Before we parted ways, she told me that she’ll return to Mayberry one day to retrieve what she’s lost there!”
“She had quite a scary expression on her face as she said that. When I asked her about it, she didn’t say anything else regarding
the matter. Speaking of which, Gerald, why did Xavia drop out of university?”
Back then, Xavia had told her to pass a message to Gerald. Felicity, however, was uninterested in anything related to Gerald so
she simply kept the message to herself.
Of course, things were much different now, plus she was curious about what Xavia had meant.
“I wonder...” said Gerald, a bitter smile on his face.
She had announced that she would retrieve what she had lost in Mayberry... Xavia was definitely going to have her revenge on
Gerald.
What on earth had Xavia gone through throughout the past few months?
Gerald had no idea where to even begin speculating. However, one thing was for sure. Xavia was doing great and that was all
that mattered to him.
“Well, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just find out when she finally returns one day!” said Felicity before sighing.
“Alright, that’s enough chit chat! I need to finish up my makeup for the live broadcast this afternoon!”
“Alright!” said Gerald as he nodded his head. As he was about to walk out of the office, Felicity called out to him. As he waited for
her to say something, she walked up to him before blocking the door with her arms spread out.
“Also, Gerald. I hope that you’ll promise me one thing since I’m helping you this time around.”
“What is it?”

“You can’t marry before I learn who Ordinary Man’s true identity is. That’s my only request. Is that possible?” asked Felicity as
she bit her lower lip.
She didn’t even understand why she was asking for such an absurd thing from Gerald.
‘Could this possibly mean that I’ve fallen for him since I know that he’s most probably Ordinary Man?’
‘If Gerald really is Ordinary Man and he marries someone else... What would happen?’
Felicity didn’t want to have to feel such bitter remorse. As she pondered her own question a bit more, she realized that that must
have been the reason why she had told him to make such a promise.
She still wasn’t even sure if she truly loved Gerald.
After hearing Felicity’s request, Gerald looked at her in surprise.
“Don’t get any misunderstandings. I don’t like you, I’m just looking for an answer!” said Felicity.
“Alright, you have my promise!”
In all honesty, Gerald was still feeling slightly flustered after hearing Xavia’s name again.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 440
He made the promise without even the slightest hesitation.
It was much better than telling Felicity that he was actually Ordinary Man.
But now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time for Felicity to ask her fans to look for Giya.
After he descended the stairs, the other could see that Gerald clearly had something weighing on his mind.
As he paced around slowly, both Felicia and Quade followed closely behind him.
Felicia kept alternating between poking Quade and nudging her head toward Gerald’s back. It was clear that Quade wanted to
say something to Gerald.
Quade, however, definitely looked like he didn’t dare to go up to Gerald.

“Quade, it’s really no big deal. Go ahead and talk to Gerald about it!” said Tammy as she sighed, looking at the two. She couldn’t
bear seeing them act so sneakily behind Gerald anymore.
Gerald heard his name being called and he turned around. Behind him, he saw Felicia poking Quade while both of them stared
back.
Gerald was slightly confused at the scene but he shook his head before looking at Quade and asking, “What’s the matter?”
Quade coughed while adjusting his glasses. “I need your help with something, but I’m not sure if you’ll be willing to lend a
hand...”
Initially, Quade had looked down on Gerald but when he saw that he drove a Mercedes-Benz G-Class, he was shocked.
“Go on...”
“Well, my elder sister works in a leasing company. She needs to lease a Mercedes-Benz G-Class this month though she hasn’t
had any luck getting her hands on one yet... If she fails to hit her target this month she might get fired. You may already have
guessed by now, but could you please lease it to my sister’s company for three days? Just three days. My sister will definitely
pay you the leasing fee!” said Quade.
Gerald understood Quade’s situation.
Some companies specialized in stuff like that. People would sign leases for cars for different reasons such as shooting for
movies.
Once the lease was signed, if anything happened to the car, the leaser would not be held responsible for it. The leaser didn’t
have to bother about all the expenses either. The car would just be leased for a few days and they could earn three thousand
dollars without needing to do anything else.
“If that’s the case, sure. I’ll lease it to her,” said Gerald as he smiled faintly.
Gerald found no reason to decline. Quade had a hand in helping Gerald find Giya too after all.
What more, Gerald approved of him, seeing how much he cared for his sister. Gerald could understand his worries since he had
a sister himself.
If Gerald’s sister was ever in any trouble, Gerald would rush over to help her without the slightest fear or hesitation.

“Thank you, Gerald! I’ll call my sister now to tell her the good news! She’ll be coming over soon with a contract for you to sign!”
said Quade excitedly.
Soon after, his sister arrived and the contract was signed. Once that was done, Tammy and the others went home to try getting
their connections to help resolve the issue of Giya’s disappearance.
Gerald called Zack up himself along with a few others.
They needed to find something. Anything that could give a clue as to where Giya’s whereabouts was.
Otherwise, Gerald knew that he would not be able to rest easy for the rest of his life.
Night came soon enough.
Gerald was exhausted and hungry after doing all that he could the entire day.
He retreated for the moment to a restaurant to fill his belly up before resuming the search.
“What do you mean? Do you think I’m unnecessary? Am I that bad?”
While he was having his meal, Gerald suddenly heard arguing coming from a dining table not too far from his.
There were voices of two women and a man.
All three voices came from the same dining table. It seemed that the man had been caught red-handed cheating with another
woman. The man’s original lover was the one doing most of the shouting as the cheating duo remained silent.
“I treated you so well! What do I lack that she has? You loved me before this... Do you not anymore? Why do you want to be with
her?” The woman continued shouting at them.
This sort of scene wasn’t uncommon. Gerald really didn’t need to look at them at all.
However, he had glanced up out of curiosity since they were being so noisy. This resulted in his gaze being fixed upon the trio.
The shouting woman turned out to be Lilian.
As for the pair who had been caught cheating, they were none other than Hayward and Sharon.

Turning back the clock to the day of the class gathering, Gerald remembered hearing from Waylon that Sharon was now
Hayward’s girlfriend.
Lilian must have been anxious all this time since she liked Hayward too.
A slap was heard, and the shouting ceased.
The recipient of the slap was Lilian.
Sharon had stood up, a cold expression on her face. “Lilian, that’s enough. Are you out of your mind?”
