Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 325

When Gerald, Harper, and a few others arrived at the restaurant, Naomi was already there with her cousin,

Xyleena.

Cassandra, Felicity, and Yvonne were there too. Sitting beside Xyleena, was a young man in his mid-twenties. He

wore a suit and his shoes were made of leather.

Xyleena looked as feminine as ever. She was one of the more outstanding people in society, and she had social

connections all over the place.

Gerald, Harper, and many others knew Xyleena mostly due to her social connections with them. This, however,

granted them the knowledge that Xyleena was actually a rather arrogant person. She only helped Gerald and a few

others find part-time jobs because they were friends with Naomi. Otherwise, she wouldn’t even have batted an

eyelid at them.

“Come, take a seat. All of you,” Xyleena said in a soft voice.

Gerald complied.

“What a frightening chain of events, last night was. We’ll have a toast in a bit, but before that, I’d like to introduce

someone to all of you. This man is Brian Merrall, and he’s been my friend all the way back from high school. He’s

the team leader of the criminal investigation team in Mayberry and he’s also the one I called for help yesterday!”

“Nice to meet you Brian. Thank you very much for saving us!” said Yvonne. After realizing who Brian was, Yvonne

couldn’t help but admire him.

“You’re very welcome. I’m just doing my job. Honestly, it should be me thanking all of you. After catching the

suspects yesterday, we were able to uncover an even bigger criminal case that they were involved in. If it wasn’t

for you, we may never have gotten the chance to take down such a powerful person as Jake.” Brian smiled after

finishing his sentence.

“Look at how well-spoken he is, Naomi! Let’s have a toast with the one who saved you!”

Seeing that her cousin wasn’t reacting appropriately, Xyleena took it into her own hands to remind her cousin

immediately.

“Oh yes, aside from thanking Brian, I would also like to thank Gerald as well. If it wasn’t for him, we may never have

been saved in time!” said Naomi.

After all, if he hadn’t told anyone about the call, who knows what would have become of them.

“What are you doing Naomi? I told you to thank Inspector Merrall, not Gerald,” said Xyleena, slightly unhappy.

“Xyleena’s right, what did that poor man do? He said he was going to launch a police report but he must have been

too stunned to do anything. Had Xyleena not messaged him or called Inspector Merrall, all of us could be dead by

now!” said Yvonne.

Brian simply shook his head and laughed.

“Well said! If anyone is to receive our gratitude, it should be Xyleena and Inspector Merrall! I’ll be having tea

instead of wine, but allow me to toast to you. Since I failed to protect Naomi and the others, I’ll drink first!” said

Cassandra as she smiled.

Clearly, she didn’t care about Gerald at all.

While all this was happening, Naomi felt that something was off.

She realized that Brian had not appeared at all throughout their rescue mission the day before. On another note,

Leopold was also clearly much stronger than Brian in terms of both aura and strength.

Something was definitely wrong.

In addition to that, Naomi felt slightly sick hearing how the rest continued to ridicule Gerald.

“Naomi, I know that you have quite a good relationship with Gerald. How about this, I’ll use my connections to try

landing him a job with benefits. One that includes endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment

insurance, work-related injury insurance, and even childbirth insurance!” said Xyleena. She didn’t want to

embarrass her cousin too much.

“Is that true, cousin? How about a job with all the previous insurances as well as housing funds?” asked Naomi.

“That would be quite difficult! Only outstanding companies provide their employees with housing funds these days.

With Gerald, it may be a little difficult to arrange such a company to take him in. However, I’ll try my best!” said

Xyleena before coughing slightly.

It was quite obvious that she was indirectly saying that Gerald was clearly not that capable.

“Xyleena’s right. If Gerald gets into an outstanding company, he’ll most probably only be a hindrance to the other

employees!” Yvonne said without filtering her words at all.

“That’s true! The best he can do is paperwork or be an office worker given his character. He really can’t do much

else and even the counselor would agree,” said Felicity as she shook her head, a bitter smile on her face.

Gerald felt his blood boil as he heard all the insults.

‘D*amn it, this happens every time! It’s almost as if they run out of topics to say if they’re not mocking me!’

‘Sure, I was an honest man before this, but that doesn’t mean I’m stupid.’

‘I was only honest because I didn’t have much money or power.’

Gerald fumed angrily in silence.

At that moment, his phone rang.

Glancing at it to see who was calling, he saw that it was his sister.

He then got up and walked away from them before picking up.
