Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 809
“Speaking of which, Gerald, how long are you planning to stay here? Do you have anywhere to stay for the time being? There’s no need to be cordial toward us! For now, I’m simply assuming that Bea will keep you company for today and I’ll be sending you back to the airport tomorrow. Is that the plan?” asked Catherine Goff rather enthusiastically as she took a peek at Gerald who was sitting quietly in the back seat as she drove the Passat.

Seeing him drag his luggage case with him earlier had prompted her to ask the question. It was clear as day that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

“Oh? I’m not leaving that soon, aunt. In fact, I’ll probably be staying in Yanken for a while… I’ll be in your care till then,” replied Gerald with a slightly bitter smile.

Hearing that, Catherine’s expression immediately turned ugly though she remained silent. This was simply the reality of it. If one was rich and they lived in some obscure spot in the mountains, they would still have distant relatives. However, if one was poor, even if they lived in a bustling city, they would have no relatives to speak of.

It was no wonder why Catherine was so afraid of Gerald coming over to them. Bea, on the other hand, was extremely friendly toward Gerald.

“Haha! Rest assured, cousin! Just stay as long as you’d like! Speaking of which, it’s going to be grandma’s birthday in a few days! If you celebrate with her, I’m sure she’ll be very happy!”

Hearing that, Gerald could simply return a slightly wry smile. After all, before his trip to Yanken began, his mother had told him that though Bea always received help from her, Yulia hadn’t exposed her true identity to Bea yet for personal reasons.

Bea’s lack of information on who his mother truly was, was the reason why she could still make such a proposal to Gerald. However, in his mind, Gerald felt that it was somewhat better this way.

“Humph! It’d be nice enough if he didn’t end up infuriating her upon them meeting each other!” added Catherine coldly.

“Now why would you say such a thing, mom? While it’s true that grandma doesn’t have a good relationship with my aunt and uncle, doesn’t she enquire about them every once in a while?” replied Bea as she looked at her mother.

Catherine simply sighed at that before saying, “Gerald, I know why you’re here. From the moment I heard that you were coming over to meet Lady Yaleman, I knew that you wanted to return to our family so that you can eventually get a share of our properties! Humph! Consider this to be sound advice from me. Give up while you can. If even my family isn’t getting that much, one can only imagine how tiny the property that you’ll receive will be. If you manage to get in in the first place, that is!”

Catherine certainly saw things through different viewpoints compared to normal people. However, Gerald simply smiled bitterly as he shook his head. He didn’t really need to give her an explanation of why he was truly here.

After that, he began casually chatting with Bea. After all, they were both cousins. Both of them were eventually going to get close with each other anyway.

As one of the three largest families in Yanken, the Yalemans had several family branches within it.
