Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1143
“Mr. Crawford?” muttered the women in surprise.
“…Now where have I heard that name before… I can’t recall much about that person…”
“Humph! I’ve done some investigating on him, and trust me when I say that you’ll all be terrified to death upon
hearing what I found out about him!” replied Freya.
“Go on…”
“As I’ve said before, after asking around, I heard from some people that this Mr. Crawford person has an extremely
powerful background! The fortune he owns is near-unimaginable for ordinary people, you know? In fact, he’s the
kind of person who would be able to hand you any amount of money immediately should he allow you to request
for any!” explained Freya as her eyes were filled with jealousy.
“What? Could there truly be a rich heir like that?” asked a few of the present men with resentment in their voices,
clearly jealous as well.

comparable to any of you hedonistic rich heirs!” replied Freya while looking at the group of men—who were all
younger than her—as she shook her head.
“So what if we’re incomparable? It’s not like we want to be compared to him either!” replied one of the men as
they all took turns lowering their heads.
“Well, even if he’s the richest person in the world, I believe that no human will truly be able to live life without
having any worries, regardless of how much wealth one owns… I’m sure he has to deal with different kinds of
issues that normal people like us can’t even hope to comprehend… Regardless, problems definitely still exist for
him so there’s no need for all of you to feel ashamed just because we’re all a little inferior to him,” said Queena at
that moment as she smiled.
Her words were like music to the men’s ears, and they instantly found themselves feeling much better.
Gerald himself turned to look at Queena. Since he was so used to seeing materialistic women like Alice and Xavia
by this point, he knew that women like Queena were rather rare in today’s world. With that in mind, he found
himself liking her a bit more after hearing what she had to say.
After all, what she had said was true. So what if he owned half of the world’s fortune? He still couldn’t change both
his and his family’s destiny… He couldn’t even protect the woman he loved. No matter who it was, humans would
always have worries.
As he was deep in thought, the tea he was pouring into Freya’s cup ended up over spilling, causing quite a bit of it
to spill onto Freya’s clothes!
“What- You… You b*stard!” screamed Freya who immediately stood up as she felt the scalding tea on her body.
Looking greatly offended, she then glared daggers at Gerald before shouting, “Are you blind or something?!”
By then, her roars of fury had attracted the attention of several of the guests there.
Clearly still dissatisfied with Gerald, the aggressive woman then raised her palm, fully prepared to slap him! After
all, Gerald was just a mere servant for all she knew. To think that he would dare offend her before everyone!
The others knew better than to step in. After all, they were all aware that once Freya got into a bad temper, she
wasn’t someone who could be easily trifled with.
However, when her hand was just inches away from Gerald’s cheek, she immediately retracted it the moment she
felt an immense pain on her palm that felt like a pinprick!

“You b*stard! How dare you attack Freya?! You’re courting death for sure!”
While the men didn’t really know what Gerald had used to injure Freya, they at least assumed that he had secretly
attacked her. With all of them coming to the same conclusion, it was natural for all of them to be infuriated!
Just as they were about to make a move on him, however, a—simultaneously—wrath-filled and terrified voice
shouted, “Cease this immediately! What are all of you doing?!”
Hearing that, the men who were about to deal with Gerald immediately froze in place. Everyone else at the scene
went silent as well.
After all, the person who had shouted was none other than the Yonwick family’s master, Linus!
Following that, the pale-faced man quickly rushed over to where Gerald was standing. Gerald himself had been
standing there with his hands behind his back, an indifferent expression on his face.
Seconds later, three loud and distinct slaps could be heard… And the three men who had initially planned to
retaliate against Gerald ended up falling to the floor due to the immense impact of the slaps!
“D-dad?! What are you doing?! They were just trying to seek justice for me! Just look at that lowly servant! He’s the
one who hurt my hand!” shouted Freya as she stomped a foot on the ground in her frustration after seeing her
cousins being slapped instead.
The immediate response she got from Linus, however, was a tight slap to her face!
