Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1022
Upon hearing Gerald say that, Xareni instantly retorted, “You!-”
Before she could say anything rash, however, she simply nodded before remaining silent for a while to calm herself.
A few seconds later, she smiled angrily before saying, “Well since you clearly look down on our small temple, then I
guess the Lovewell family will just hand over the Book of Beasts to you tomorrow as our token of appreciation, sir!”
The moment she was done speaking, Xareni instantly turned around and left his room. Upon closing the door
behind her, she took in a deep breath before glaring daggers at the room.
It was early the next morning when Haven pushed the door to Gerald’s room open before shouting, “Good morning,
master!”
“Master?” replied Gerald as he couldn’t help but shake his head while looking at the girl who had brought a cup of
ginseng tea along with her.
He didn’t even have a chance this time to remind her to knock first before entering this time. Despite her intrusion,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGerald still ended up smiling.
“Yeah, master! Hahaha! You said you were going to teach me some skills, so of course I’d call you that! Anyway, I
brought along some tea to formalize our master and disciple relationship!” said Haven with a grin.
“Now you’re just exaggerating it… I’m just going to teach you some self-defense skills as a friend!”
Clearly ignoring what he had just said, Haven simply replied, “Please accept this tea as a form of respect from your
disciple, master!”
Bowing before presenting the tea before Gerald, he simply shook his head before taking the cup from her.
After taking a sip, he gave her a wry smile before saying, “Will this do?”
“But of course! Now let’s go! Teach me something already!” squealed Haven as she hopped excitedly in place.
Smiling, Gerald then stood up to leave with her…
However, the moment he did so, he immediately felt an excruciating pain in his stomach! Holding on to his belly, his
pale face scrunched up in agony as he shouted, “The… the tea!”
Getting increasingly worried as she watched Gerald get drenched in cold sweat, Haven instantly replied, stuttering,
“H-huh? What’s going on? What’s wrong?”
“T-the tea… It’s been poisoned!” said Gerald in his extreme pain as he sat back on the bed before rolling back and
forth, clenching tightly onto his stomach the entire time.
“P-poisoned? P-please don’t scare me, Gerald!” squeaked Haven whose anxiousness had peaked after seeing how
much pain Gerald seemed to be in.
By the time her sentence ended, Gerald was already clasping onto his head with his hands.
“I-is your head not feeling well too? Please don’t scare me!” said Haven as she gently began shaking his shoulders.
It wasn’t long after before Gerald stopped struggling. His eyes were now closed as his hands had gone limp!
“G-Gerald…? Gerald! Oh god, please, wake up! Men! Men! Get in here!” cried out Haven.
Almost instantaneously, the door to Gerald’s room was flung open and the first person to enter was none other
than Xareni.
“S-sister! Gerald seems to have been poiso-!”
Haven’s sentence ended prematurely for a reason. After all, she had noticed by then that right behind Xareni was
her father, Second uncle, and many others as they slowly entered the room as well.
“I have to admit, Second, the Scatter Pill really works its magic! Even the incredibly strong Gerald wasn’t able to

“Hahaha! Truth be told, I was skeptical as well when the Moldells handed me the pill. After seeing Gerald’s
capabilities, I truly wasn’t sure whether he could even be poisoned! What more, the Moldells told me that I didn’t
even need to use an entire pill to get him seriously poisoned! From what they said, as long as he takes a single sip
of the tea, the poison would work its magic no matter how strong he was. Despite that, I slipped in the entire pill,
just to be safe! Thankfully, he seems to have taken quite a big sip of the tea as well!”
“Based on what the Moldells said, Gerald will continue sleeping like this indefinitely, right, Second uncle?” asked
Xareni while straightening her hair.
“Indeed!”
“Dad? Sister?! What are all of you talking about? Were you the ones who poisoned him?!” asked Haven in her
disbelief.
“You have nothing to do with anything here anymore, Haven. Butler! Take Haven to her room so she can get some
rest! And don’t let her leave without my permission!”
“Dad! Gerald’s our ally! He saved us!” cried out Haven as the butler quickly dragged her out of the room.
Seconds later, a subordinate walked in before whispering, “Old master, the Moldells are here!”
“Oh? Then hurry up and invite them in!” replied Zander excitedly.
