Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1252
Undoubtedly shocked by Yana’s claim, everyone turned to look at her in disbelief.
“Don’t buy into his act, everyone! I, for one, know for a fact that this isn’t the real Mr. Crawford! His name is Gerald and he comes from some village in Serene County! He was also an extremely poor loser back when he was young! If you need proof, I’ll get someone to find his photograph in the past, right this instant! All of you will surely believe me after that!”
The photograph she was referring to was a group photo that had been snapped while they were still schooling together. Yana had a habit of keeping photos of herself, and it wasn’t long before one of her men brought that exact photo over.
Showing it to everyone, they all saw that the photograph truly did show a young Gerald in it!
“So he really is Miss Shute’s primary school classmate! What more, he was wearing such shabby clothes back then!”
As everyone remained momentarily shocked, Georgia laughed loudly before saying, “My, my, Serenity! It’s beyond my expectations that you’d actually stoop so low! You were so full of energy back then… I’m well aware that you’re sad that Mila’s gone missing. What more, the real Mr. Crawford probably doesn’t even care about any of the Smiths anymore! While I get that you desperately wish to gain respect in the business field again—since you’re so helpless now—there’s a limit to how low you should go, you know? We’re already this old, Serenity. Was there truly a need to pull off such a dirty trick?”
Hearing that, the guests immediately grew scornful. Those who had initially been trying to toast and get close to Gavin quickly began leaving in disdain, their smiles instantly turning into frowns.
“Impersonating? Stooping this low? Georgia, you’d best watch your mouth! I don’t know what you’re thinking, but he truly is the real Mr. Crawford!” retorted Serenity.
“You’re still being stubborn now? Look, I’m fine with the idea of you hiring someone to impersonate Mr. Crawford, just to gain a little respect. However, you should’ve at least hired someone who’s as handsome as my grandson-in-law! Why’d you have to get someone who looks like this?” said Georgia as she laughed aloud.
“Grandma’s right! Did you honestly think that hiring such a poor loser was a good idea? He barely even gives off the aura of someone as powerful as Mr. Crawford! Still, Mila this, Mila that… All you Smiths ever talk about is Mila! To think that you’re all still hoping for Mr. Crawford to give two hoots about you even after she’s been missing for so long! Do all of you think that Mila’s a fairy or something?” added Yana, hints of jealousy in her voice. After all, her husband had once proposed to Mila as well.
“I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but you’d best not talk about Mila like that, Yana!” growled Gerald.
“Hah! You may not want me to do so, but I’m doing it anyway! Both the old and the young from the Smiths are shameless! To think that all of you would dare find such a poor loser to impersonate Mr. Crawford! Are all of you that keen on disgusting us?!” scowled Yana as she turned to glare at Rita.
Rita herself got up in a rage and retorted, “The hell are you calling shameless? You’re the shameless one!”
