Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1142
Calming himself, he then walked over to the group while occasionally glancing at the entrance.
As he picked up a teapot to refill the empty cups at the table, one of the women who had heavy makeup on—as did
the others—said, “You know, you look pretty handsome up-close! Still, you’re not quite my cup of tea! Only Queena
would fall for someone like you!”
“Oh? Could you actually be Queena’s pretty boy?” asked another woman.
“Humph! As if someone like him would ever be qualified to be hers!” replied a third woman rather contemptuously.
After saying that, the women seemed to lose interest in him and they quickly found themselves resuming their
previous topic of conversation.
“Anyway, I’m very happy now! Haha! At long last, someone finally took the blame for me!” said another woman
from that group who looked to be slightly older than Gerald.
“Oh? What sort of blame, Freya?” asked one of her friends.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Just some incident none of you were probably aware of… Actually, I think it’s fine for me to tell you about it now!
You see, the Yonwicks have always had a secret deal with the young lord of the Holy Witchcraft!”
“…A deal?” asked the women who were now growing increasingly curious.
“Indeed! You see, according to the deal, over ten beautiful women have to be sent to the young lord yearly. As you
may have already guessed, some of them come from the Yonwick family as well!” replied Freya.
“What? You’re not pulling our leg, are you?”
“Is there even a reason for me to do that? Regardless, my dad told me some time ago that I was initially one of the
chosen beauties to be sent over to him! However, since a beauty from the Fenderson family came over about three
months ago, my dad betrayed her just to protect me!” explained Freya as she laughed.
“How unexpected… To think that the young lord was actually such a person! It’s quite hard to even imagine!”
“I know right? Even I used to think that the young lord was both pure and flawless. Never could I have imagined
that he was this disgusting in reality! Either way, this is a major secret that, if exposed, would ruin him for sure! As a
result, it’s a great taboo for the people from Montholm Island to talk about this! Aside from the members of our
family and a few other people on Montholm Island, I’m pretty sure that nobody else knows about this secret! I’m
just sharing this with you because I’m so happy today!” replied Freya.
“Well, I’ve heard rumors about this a few years back myself, so I wouldn’t call it a tightly kept secret…” muttered
one of her friends.
“Oh? Well I’m sure that you’ve definitely never heard of what I’m about to tell you! It’s something that my dad’s
been hiding from my family! I’m pretty sure that I’m the only other Yonwick who knows about this!” whispered
Freya in a slightly saddened tone.
“What are all of you talking about, cousin?” asked Queena as she led a few rich, young heirs over from the door. As
the newcomers smiled at those from the initial group, Queena took the chance to wave at Gerald while greeting
him.
“You interrupted Freya just as she was about to share some secrets with us! Come over and sit with us! Quickly!”
“Secrets?”
“Yeah! You see, an incident happened this afternoon… You all know Layton, right? My incapable younger brother?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWell, something happened to him! Before I go on, though, do all of you know who Master Moldell is?” asked Freya.
“But of course we do!”
It didn’t come as a surprise for any of them that Freya called her younger brother ‘incapable’. After all, those from
the Yonwick family were well aware that she didn’t have a good relationship with Layton.
This was mostly due to the fact that Layton was the only male descendant of the family. As a result, Linus adored
Layton a lot and tended to spoil him. With Freya, Linus usually only gave her a cold shoulder, which explained her
clear dissatisfaction with Layton.
“Excellent. Moving on, I earlier saw Master Moldell and my younger brother being carried into the manor from the
backdoor… It was sheer coincidence that I saw them back then since I was planning to sneak out the backdoor to
have some fun!”
“Oh, d*mn! How did Layton get hurt? Actually, the more important question is how did Master Moldell get hurt?
We’ve all seen his immense skill before! To think that someone would actually manage to defeat him on Montholm
Island!”
Everyone clearly found that news hard to believe. Some of the young men were even exchanging terrified glances
with each other as Freya continued whispering, “While I’m not too sure about the details of what actually happened,
after eavesdropping on my dad while he was talking to a few of his subordinates, I heard the name, ‘Mr. Crawford’
being mentioned. Apparently that person has an extremely powerful background!”
