Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 343
At that moment, several police officers walked into the room along with the one who had initially pointed at them.
“That’s them!”
An angry voice came from someone who had white gauze wrapped all-around their head. As he walked closer, the
group could finally make out who the person—who was pointing at Hayward—was.
‘His name was Murphy right?’ Gerald thought to himself.
The situation was quite clear. After Hayward had attacked Murphy, Murphy must have called the police after getting
his injuries treated. It seemed that the police had managed to track them here through the help of the surveillance
cameras on Mayberry Commercial Street.
If that wasn’t enough, Hayward had also booked a table at a restaurant near Mayberry Commercial Street under
his name.
“Alright then, we’ll be needing all of you to come with us!” a single police officer said coldly.
Both Hayward and Sharon began panicking.
Even though Hayward was feeling rather superior a few seconds ago, his actions had come back to bite him. After
all, he had crashed a vase over Murphy’s head earlier.

hours anyway!”
“Oh, two hours you say! After you’ve dared to hit my brother? I’d like to see you try!” said a cold and arrogant
voice.
A woman soon began walking forward. She stood next to Murphy.
“Sister! That’s the kid who attacked me!” said Murphy as he pointed toward Hayward.
“Don’t worry, I’ve already explained the matter to the inspector! He’ll definitely be upholding justice on your
behalf!” replied the woman.
Being able to utter that sentence alone proved that Murphy’s family had sufficient connections to turn the situation
from a simple into a rather difficult one.
Hayward began feeling even more nervous now.
Sharon had also not expected Murphy to have such a powerful sister.
As the woman shifted her cold glare from Hayward to look at the others who sat at the same table, she couldn’t
help but raise an eyebrow in astonishment.
“Gerald? What are you doing here?”
Gerald was busy eating but when he heard his name and the familiar voice, he looked up. Even he was surprised.
The woman standing before them was none other than Naomi’s cousin, Xyleena. He really hadn’t expected Murphy
to be connected with her as well.
Gerald knew very well that Xyleena didn’t have a brother.
D*mn it! With her in the picture, there would be no outsiders in this dispute at all. On one side was his high school
classmates while on the other was Naomi’s relatives and friends.
Gerald couldn’t help but laugh wryly at the ridiculousness of the situation.
“Don’t mind me, we’re just having a meal together!”
“Humph! So you’re actually enjoying a meal with the people who beat my brother up? And of course a pathetic jerk
like you is involved in the matter as well! To think that I took such good care of you in the past!” replied Xyleena
coldly.
To be honest, ever since Xyleena and Naomi had invited Gerald and the others to a meal back then, she had
already been extremely dissatisfied with him for running off before the meal was even over.
The embarrassing thing was that she had initially planned for her classmates to act impressively and display their
power to Naomi’s classmates. She still couldn’t understand what went wrong that day. All Naomi’s female
classmates did was whisper among themselves and she had no idea what they were even discussing about.
In the end, they barely even looked at her classmates at all.
In short, the entire meal was embarrassing.
Of course, she blamed the entire thing on Gerald for not being appreciative of her efforts which led to the others

It was, however, unexpected that both of them would actually meet like this today.
“Humph! That person was also there while I was beaten up!” said Murphy as he pointed toward Gerald.
“That’s enough. You don’t have to say anything else. If you wish to add anything you can say it back at the police
station! For now, all of you are coming with us!”
The police then brought all of them back into their police cars.
Gerald felt depressed. What terrible luck!
What could he even say at this point?
Upon arriving at the police station, the police officers began taking their statements. Since surveillance cameras
were present, Hayward couldn’t deny anything.
After that, the four people were placed in a small room while they awaited their results.
“What should I do Hayward? Do you think I’ll get charged as well? I’ve just been offered a job as a teacher and I
haven’t even started my first day at work yet! If I get charged by the police then the school will definitely expel
me!” said Lilian as she started panicking in the detention room.
“I really don’t know… We actually hurt someone this time and they have solid evidence too! That Murphy… And his
sister! She’s pretty incredible herself!”
Sharon was silent but she was clearly nervous as well.
