Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 553
“Holy! Queeny? I already gave you an answer!” shouted Gerald with a jump. He definitely hadn’t expected her to
chase after him.
“What is with you? I’m just… concerned! Look, you may have won the lottery or something, and though I’m not
sure how much you won, aren’t you acting a little too naively? Society’s going to eat you up! No matter how much
you’ve won, be careful and don’t get tricked or you’ll end up in the streets later on!”
‘Yeah… That made much more sense. Gerald must have invested in the attraction with the lottery money.’ This was
the only reasonable conclusion that she could come up with at that moment. Her emotions were in disarray and
she was feeling extremely upset by the sudden change in power dynamic. After saying what she needed to to calm

“Hah. This girl… If she ever found out about my true identity, I’d never hear the end of it!” said Gerald before
chuckling.
As Blake went off to run his errands, Gerald decided to get some shut-eye before leaving the attraction and getting
some proper rest.
He definitely didn’t want to join Queenie and her friends. Queenie didn’t want him around anymore either. After
some time passed, knocking could be heard on the door.
“Mr. Edward? I’ve brought the newcomer over to report to you!” It was a soft female voice and Gerald was slightly
taken aback when he heard it.
“Come in!” said Gerald.
The door then slowly opened and a girl in a uniform entered the office. She had long hair and a nice figure. In her
hands was a document and behind her was another beautiful girl.
“Mr. Edward, I’m…” The girl’s voice slowly trailed off. She was about to introduce herself, but her words just
wouldn’t form the moment she saw who was sitting in the office.
Gerald was speechless as well. He simply stared at the two girls as the awkwardness in the office grew.
“M-Mr. Crawford! It’s you! I… I didn’t know you’d be here!” said the girl as she immediately lowered her head in
embarrassment. She didn’t dare to make eye contact.
“…Xella? Sharon? What are you two doing here in Fuenti? Aren’t you supposed to be in Serene County?” asked
Gerald as he continued staring at the two.
When Gerald was investigating his company, Xella had learned of his true identity. As for Sharon, she knew too
since she was present during the incident at the real estate center. This was why the situation felt so awkward for
all three of them.

Though he remembered what Xella and Sharon had done to him in recent memory, he was still good friends with
the two girls back in high school. Xella had even fought against Waylon for bullying Gerald.
He didn’t exactly have the time of his life in high school, but with the two girls around, his high school days still
ended up being pretty nice. Even back then, a lot of people looked down on him but not these two. They really
treated him like a good friend.
This was the sole reason why Gerald still felt reserved when it came to the two of them. Even though their
friendship was no longer the same, Gerald still felt obligated to treat them kindly.
“Mr. Crawford, I’ll be going to the human resources department now. Sharon’s just joined the company. Oh, and
since tomorrow is your birthday, the company’s assigned a few good looking girls to be escorts.”
‘Ah, so they still remember my birthday. Well this is a little weird…’ He thought to himself.
“Ah, I see… Well, Blake’s now busy decorating the place!” said Gerald as he stood up. The situation was still
extremely awkward.
