Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1611
It was late that night—within a secret manor in Yanam—when Gerald and his family could be seen cheerfully eating
while talking with each other.
Even Yoel—whom Gerald’s mother was currently supporting—found himself smiling due to how joyous the reunion
was. It truly had been ages since they had last gotten together like this…
Even so, Gerald couldn’t seem to feel truly happy about all this. After all, in the end, poor Yoel still had his eyes
gouged out and his tongue snipped! His parents no longer had functioning legs either, and as for his sister… He
couldn’t even imagine all the suffering she had gone through while waiting for him…
To Gerald, all this had only happened due to him not doing his best to keep his family protected. With that in mind,
he blamed himself for all their suffering, and all that guilt prevented him from enjoying himself at the moment…
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf only he had made a few more precautions, Yoel would’ve surely been able to live both normally and happily like
any regular person… However, Yoel had actively tried to defend his family, and as a result, he ended up in such a
pitiful state… It truly made Gerald feel like he had failed his brother…
With all these thoughts plaguing his mind, Gerald knew that he would only be able to rest easy once he took down
the Quantocks. That was the only way Gerald was going to be able to fully avenge his family…
Gerald’s train of thought was cut short when his smiling mother turned to look at him before saying, “Gerald… You
seem a little quiet tonight…”
“She’s right! Our family’s finally reunited again, you know? Be a bit more joyous!” added Dylan.
Upon hearing that, Gerald instantly forced a smile to hide his troubles.
A short while later, however, he took in a deep breath before turning to look at his family with determined eyes…
“…Mom, Dad, Jessica, and Yoel… From today onward, I’ll never allow any of you to suffer any more pain…! I’ll
protect each and every one of you no matter the costs!”
“Well said! We believe in you, Gerald!” replied Dylan as he nodded with a smile.
With that said, the laughing and talking continued late into the night…
Eventually, Gerald’s parents and Yoel headed off first to retire for the night. Watching as his parents led Yoel away,
Gerald then sat in the garden with Jessica to continue talking for a bit.
“I wonder if you remember the time when you first realized that you were a rich heir, Gerald…” asked Jessica with a
smile as she stared at the shining stars in the night sky.
Smiling subtly, Gerald then replied, “Of course I do! Thinking back, all of you were truly experts at hiding all that
from me! Do you even have any idea how long I suffered from how poor I was?”
“We did all that for a reason though! By making you experience all that, we had hoped that it would make you
strong enough to eventually be able to continue carrying our family’s torch! And lo and behold, look at you now!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith you to rely on, dad can finally retire from being our family’s backbone… Honestly, by this point, I don’t really
care that much about you making a huge impact on society… Instead, I just wish that our family can live together
cozily!” said Jessica with words that came from her heart.
Turning to look at his sister, Gerald then lowered his head before replying in an apologetic tone, “…You must have
suffered terribly while you were captured, sister… I’m sorry for being so careless! Had I made more precautions,
neither of you would have ended up in such pitiful states!”
Upon hearing that, Jessica gently patted Gerald’s head before saying, “None of us blame you for all this, Gerald…
After all, you couldn’t have possibly anticipated all this to happen! I understand that you badly wish to protect us
since we kept protecting you back then, but understand that you’re already doing a good job! After all, we’re all
together again now, aren’t we? With that said, let bygones be bygones and let’s enjoy our time together as a family
to the fullest!”
“…I understand, sister…” muttered Gerald as he nodded in response…
At that very moment, a dark silhouette suddenly dashed past the forest right outside the manor…
