Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1251
“…And who might you be?” asked Gerald as he looked casually at her.
‘Smacking someone on the head as a greeting… I wonder if she’s lost her marbles…’
After seeing Yana actually smack Gerald on the back of his head, Georgia and the others instantly began trembling
in fear. Quickly snapping out of it, all those from Georgia’s family—as well as the guests—quickly ran over and stood
behind Yana.
“Are you really still pretending in front of me, Gerald?” asked Yana.
“Pretending? Do we even know each other?” replied Gerald in resignation. He truly had no idea who she was.
“Haha! So that’s how it’s going to be! Maybe this little refresher will help! Let me ask you something. Did you study
in Third Primary School in Serene County as a kid?” sneered Yana.
“That I did… Though I’m curious as to why you’d know that…” replied Gerald with a nod.

“…I did, indeed…” said Gerald, sensing that something was wrong. After all, everything that she had just said was
true. Throughout his six years in that primary school, Gerald had always been in the second class.
‘Really though, who is this woman? Why would she even know which class I studied in?’
“Aha! See, grandma? What did I tell you? It truly is him!” shouted Yana in delight.
Having witnessed the scene play out with her very own eyes, Georgia’s meekness turned into hostility as quickly as
a flip of a page.
As the old woman continued seething in contempt, Gerald looked at Yana with suspicion in his eyes as he asked, “…
Again, I have to ask, who exactly are you?”
“Are you still playing dumb? I’m Yana Shute, of course! Humph! I was transferred over to your pathetic school when
I was in third grade and ended up becoming your class monitor! I still remember how poor you were, even to this
very day! If you still need a refresher, I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about the incident where a boy stole
something from me and placed the blame on you! As a result, I poured water all over your face and I even told my
dad to send people over to stop you from leaving! You were so scared back then that you didn’t even dare to go to
school for a few days after that!” replied Yana contemptuously.
‘…Yana Shute…?’ Gerald thought to himself as the memories of her slowly returned to him.
As she had said, Yana had transferred into his class out of the blue back when he was in third grade. Back then,
everyone was afraid of her since not only was she the class monitor, but she also wore the best clothes among her
classmates. With so much power, she definitely didn’t have a high regard for Gerald at all.
Regardless, she had left a rather deep impression on him for the longest time due to a certain incident that
involved one of their classmates stealing her eraser. The eraser itself was extremely beautiful—at least to a child—
and the one who had stolen it placed the blame on Gerald!
Due to that, the young Yana had grown anxious and—without thinking too much about it—ended up splashing
Gerald’s face with water!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough that sounded harmless on the surface, Yana had failed to mention that the incident had taken place during
winter. With that in mind, the water was actually scalding hot when it splattered over Gerald’s face! In a way, it
could be said that she almost ended up ruining his face for good!
Anyway, while it was true that Gerald hadn’t gone to school for a few days after that, it wasn’t out of fear. Instead,
it was because Gerald had to allow his face to heal after getting some medicine from a clinic.
At the time, he remembered truly resenting her a lot.
Either way, she transferred to another school when they were in fifth grade. With Yana out of the picture, Gerald
slowly forgot about her.
‘Still, what a small world this is… Why do I keep bumping into classmates? To think that I’m actually meeting
classmates from my primary days!’ Gerald thought to himself with a bitter smile on his face.
“…So it’s you. I remember you now…” replied Gerald with a slight nod.
“‘I finally remember you now?’ Gerald, are you seriously still trying to play a fool before me? I have to say that I’m
quite impressed with how great your acting skills have become after not meeting you for so long! Still, how dare
you impersonate Mr. Crawford?” said Yana as her eyes turned stern.
“…What? Impersonating Mr. Crawford?”
