Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 533
“What do you mean by that, old man? What do you mean it’s theirs? I’m warning you, I’ve consulted with a lawyer,
and if we bring this to court, the contract you signed will not be counted! The real estate certificate is ours
anyway!” Sandrilla said frantically.
‘Seems like they’ve been quarreling about the matter for quite some time now.’
Gerald thought to himself.
Earlier, when he called Mr. Winters, he sensed that Mr. Winters was in a bad mood.
It turned out that they had been quarreling.
Even if the housing estate belonged to the Crawfords, why would Gerald even fight with them for it?
“Besides, didn’t Gerald win the lottery? Why would he still care about this house anyway! And I don’t know where I
lost the house key for the lock!” Sandrilla continued, fuming.

“Excuse me, what do you think you’re doing?” Sandrilla asked as she stepped back in anxiousness.
Mr. Winters then stormed towards the door and smashed the lock with the rock.
He then whipped out a new lock from his pocket.
“Gerald, with this lock, the three of them wouldn’t dare to take turns to change the lock to your house. Enough with
this mess. Let’s go inside and clean-up later. Come over to my house for dinner; your aunt is cooking up a feast for
you.” Mr. Winters said.
“Alright then!”
Gerald took the lock and forced a smile. Turns out, the second sister-in-law was not the first person to lock his
house door. The first and third sister-in-law were also involved.
Gerald looked at how grim and hopeless the circumstances were and could only force a grin.
Sandrilla’s face turned scarlet. She cried as she ran back home to make a phone call.
After Gerald had tidied up his house, he headed to Mr. Winter’s for dinner.
He was greeted by a few shiny, brand new cars parked in front of Mr. Winters’s house. The best looking one among
the bunch was a black Passat.
They were all newly bought.
It looked like all the brothers, from the oldest to the third, were all there.
In previous years, they usually held many big feasts and occasions as such, but this year, things were different.
As Gerald stepped into the house, he heard someone banging on the table loudly.
“Why?! That was our house, and by what authority should we give it to them?”
“Yeah, mom, I heard that this time they’re going to demolish several houses, and to reimburse them for the
demolition, each household will be receiving tens of thousands of dollars. They’re starting to repair the roads, and
since our house is by the mountainside, they might even turn this place into a tourist attraction, or even a movie
base! After this, our houses will be worth a lot of money! Money!” Francis Winters exclaimed excitedly.
“Yep, yep! Mom, a friend of mine, had invested in the tourism sector in her town. After her house was demolished,
she was able to afford two houses!” Queeny Winters said.

worth of lottery already!”
The eldest brother banged his fists angrily on the table and scowled.
“Let’s wait until tomorrow. I’ll find someone to get the house back.”
“Big brother, what makes you think that only you can do that? It’s not like I’ve got no connections at all!”
“I know, right! I’ve connections too, you know! Plus, if you get back the house, wouldn’t that mean the house would
be under your name afterward?”
The entire family started falling into a chaotic squabble.
At this point, Gerald could not stand by the sidelines and eavesdrop any longer, so he walked in.
“Everyone, stop fighting! If you want this house that much, take it!” Gerald said.
“Gerald, this has nothing to do with you, so stop the nonsense. It doesn’t matter who you want to hand the house
over to; the house still belongs to your family!” Mr. Winters said coldly.
Gerald, on the other hand, was fed up with the drama.
“Hmph, since Gerald said it himself, you don’t have to worry about it, old man!”
The sister-in-law chimed in haughtily.
As for Queenie, Francis, and the others…
