Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 326
“Sister, what’s up?”
“Bro, are you busy? A butler and a few of my subordinates are landing at Mayberry’s airport soon. Could you please
find someone to pick them up? I’ve arranged some other tasks for both Zack and Michael to deal with. They’ll be
needing a living space as well, so please find one for them!”
“Alright, no problem,” said Gerald as he nodded to himself.
This was actually the first time Gerald had been in contact with his family for a long time. He heard his sister
chuckle.
“I’ll be there the day after tomorrow. We can meet up then, just brother and sister!” Jessica smiled after saying
that.
Gerald had missed her too.
After talking for a bit, Gerald finally hung up.
Since both Zach and Michael were busy, it was best that Gerald didn’t disturb them.
‘Who could I assign the task to?’ He scratched the back of his head as he thought.

He concluded that it would be best to just pick them up himself since they were his sister’s butlers.
Nodding to himself, he re-entered the restaurant and told Naomi that he was busy, so he left directly.
“Gerald seems to be quite busy!” said Xyleena sarcastically.
‘I graciously invited you to a meal today and you claim that you’re busy? How dare you!’ thought Xyleena to herself.
“I’m sure he’s just feeling pressured to be here, being as poor as he is. Speaking of which, Brian. We saw a
handsome white-haired guy yesterday. What position does he hold?” asked Yvonne at that moment.
“Honestly, I’ve been curious as well. You keep talking about a handsome white-haired person in a Maybach, but
judging from your description, it’s quite impossible that such a person is from our police team,” replied Brian
somewhat awkwardly.
The more he heard from the girls, the more Brian felt that something was off. The police team certainly did run a
big mission the night before.
The mission was big enough to the point where there were even rumors that superiors from the province came to
investigate as well.
During the commotion, Brian had received a call from Xyleena, claiming that her cousin had been kidnapped along
with three other girls.
The report was far too similar to the case which they had been handling the night before.
Brian told her not to worry and said that the police would take immediate action.
However, by the time he arrived at the spot with his large team, the criminals had already been caught. The
hostages had even been rescued, and had long left the scene.
Given his rank, he was not allowed to look too far into the matter.
It felt strange to him to be sharing that meal since he knew he hadn’t done anything much to save them.
All he knew at the moment, was that there were two groups of people who had participated in the girls’ rescue
mission.
He was only there in time to clean up the mess.
“Eh? He isn’t from the police team? I suppose so… It does seem quite impossible for a policeman to be driving a
Maybach,” Yvonne responded, puzzled.
“So what you’re saying is that you weren’t the one who saved us, Inspector Merrall?” asked Cassandra in shock.
‘Why was it so difficult to get to the bottom of this trivial matter?’
“Technically speaking, no, we weren’t. By the time we got to the scene, you had already been saved. You girls had
even left at that point!” explained Brian as he smiled.
He only shared some rough details with them. All they needed to know was that he hadn’t really done much to save

“So after all that talk, we’re back to square one. Who was it exactly that came to our rescue?” All four girls were
stunned again.
At that moment, Felicity’s phone rang.
“Yes? Who is this?”
“Good day, miss. I’m part of the customer service from the Rex Suit Flagship Store. You bought a suit from us
yesterday. However, your boyfriend came last night to buy another of the exact same suit. We only had a smaller
one in stock, but he insisted on buying it. A few suits his size have arrived today and we were wondering if he would
like to exchange the suit he bought last night for this one. We’re calling you because he was in such a hurry last
night, we weren’t able to get his contact information.”
“Boyfriend? Ah, you mean Gerald. He’s not my boyfriend. Why did he even buy two suits?” Yvonne asked aloud,
utterly confused.
Cassandra had heard the conversation as well and was equally shocked.
“That means… The suit we found in Gerald’s room yesterday wasn’t the one that Felicity had bought for him. He
fooled us! But why did he? So… The coat we found in the car last night… It really was his?”
Without warning, Cassandra began screaming.
