Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 498

Due to the chaotic chain of events, there was no way that they could continue with the banquet tonight.

Gerald and Xeno both had to go make a statement. As Mr. Le had said, the matter would be investigated strictly.

Quazzie and Grover may even have to face a maximum of twenty years’ worth of jail time.

“This incident has caused too big an impact on Serene County! It could affect the future of the county negatively!

As a demolisher, how dare you do this to us, Grover? The only way he’ll be able to atone for this is through harsh

punishment!” shouted Mr. Le furiously.

He was in his office with a large stack of documents on his table. The other employees present were thoroughly

startled.

“Mr. Le, Grover is an outlaw. He’s done similar things before and he’s managed to wiggle himself out every time!

Not this time though! We have sufficient evidence to convict him of kidnapping three people!”

“It’s time for him to pay for his crimes. Also, did anyone back him up? Is there anyone particularly close to him?”

asked Mr. Le.

“We haven’t found anyone directly aiding Grover in this particular event, but we do know that he’s quite close to Mr.

Jung from the Investment Promotion Bureau. Both of them have had dinner together several times!”

“Mr. Jung? Willie Jung?” replied Mr. Le, his eyebrows raised.

“That’s the one. However, from what we can tell, he’s clean. He’s probably dealt with these kinds of people just

because of the nature of his job”

“Hmph, that won’t do. Even if Willie wasn’t directly aiding Grover, Grover still knows him and works for the

Investment Promotion Bureau. Now that Grover’s stirred up such chaos, Willie Jung has to be held responsible for

this disaster. Transfer him out of this department! Which department is still vacant?” huffed Mr. Le.

“The publication department seems to be lacking a deputy section chief to write materials… But, this is Willie

Jung…”

“Just let him be a clerk! Didn’t they say that he’s good at writing articles? Might as well put that ability to good use!”

His decision was final and he left the office with his hands behind his back.

Moving back to Gerald’s side, the matter could only be resolved after an entire night had passed.

It was close to dawn when Gerald fumbled tiredly behind Xeno to his second-hand car shop.

Both Xeno and Sienna were left bemused after learning of Gerald’s true identity.

They began an onslaught of questions and Gerald replied each of them honestly.

“So… it’s actually true? Gerald, you’re Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?” asked Xeno, rightfully surprised. Sienna was

in shock as well.

“Yep, that’s me!”

“And you’re also the one handling the Dream Investment Group?”

Xeno was pleasantly surprised by this turn of events.

“I meant every word I said earlier, when I told you that I was going to help you expand your business. Once things

have calmed down, I’ll have my people come over to help you with the handover procedures!” said Gerald, smiling.

“Really?” replied Sienna, her eyes wide open in shock and joy.

“What, you want me to lie and say I won’t?” said Gerald with a grin.

Gerald had already made the arrangements with Zack the night before. It wasn’t too difficult for him to handle.

This was also the reason why Gerald followed Xeno back to his shop.

After both of them chatted for a while, Gerald finally got up and returned to the hotel.

Since it was so early in the morning, there weren’t any taxis around yet. He didn’t have a car anymore either, so he

simply got on an Ofo bicycle.

Xeno stood by the entrance as he watched Gerald leave. “Hey, buddy! You’re really too humble, you know? If I had

as much money as you, I’d have a fleet of Maybach cars clearing the road for me, followed by at least a dozen

chicks and bodyguards wherever I went!”

“Also, while you’re still here, I’m going to vow right here and right now. I’m going to make sure Quazzie’s entire

family regrets ever being born!” growled Xeno with resentment.

“…Hmm? What was that?” said Sienna as she raised a slight brow.

“I said I’m going to make Quazzie and his family regret ever being born!”

“No, no, a little before that.”

“I think I said that I’d have at least a dozen chicks and bodyg- ah. Sienna, wait! I can expl-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Sienna was already pinching Xeno’s shoulder!

Gerald simply smiled while shaking his head as he headed back for his hotel.

Upon arriving, he was just about to park his bicycle when he saw a girl limping out of a taxi that had stopped right in

front of the hotel.

Gerald sighed before covering his face with his hand in an attempt to avoid looking at her. However, before he

could go past the automatic doors, she called out to him.

“Gerald?”

Gerald froze and sighed before lowering his hand. Of course she had spotted him…
