Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 974

Although Gerald was very excited, he quickly calmed himself down.

While Gerald knew that his family had finally gained some leeway after his departure for so long, he was also well aware that he could not rush to reconcile with the Crawford family just yet.

The thought process is that once the news about the issue is spread to the public, then all his efforts and hard work in the past few months will be in vain. The foundation he had painstakingly built would be easily destroyed by Moldell once that happened!

Understanding that, he knew that he really could not reconcile with his family!

After glancing at Bea and Lyra for the last time, she turned around and immediately left the scene.

“You've finally arrived, Lyra! I've been waiting for you to come!” heidi said excitedly.

"You must have waited a long time!" lyra replied with a faint smile on her face.

Now that Lyra was standing in front of them, Juliet herself began to feel overshadowed as she took a closer look at the girl who was currently exchanging ordinary greetings with her mother.

However, as they did so, Lyra caught a glimpse of a figure entering another room. For some strange reason, his heart skipped a beat as he looked at it!

"Is there a problem, brother-in-law?" ask Bea.

“...No... Nothing at all..” Lyra replied while shaking her head quickly.

Lyra was here today ever since she heard about how important the Ginseng King of Dylan was. From what his father said, the potion was extremely valuable and hard to come by. Even the Crawford family seemed to have looked for him once, even though they were never really able to find him.

As for how Lyra knew Heidi, she and Bea met her while they were attending an economics management class in America. As Lyra and Bea are also there to manage some of their assets in the country, they meet with Heidi some time later, resulting in Lyra finally learning that the Ginseng King is in her hands.

Once she found out, Lyra immediately reported the matter to Dylan. After that, Dylan barely hesitated as he ordered him to buy the Ginseng King from Heidi's hands, at any cost.

All of that eventually led to today's events.

Almost everyone drinks and celebrates overnight because open auctions allow people from all walks of life to gather in one place.

Meanwhile, Bea—who just finished shower—get into Lyra's room before asking, “What can Heidi Sachs think…? Why did he go so far when all he was hosting was an open auction? If it's the money he craves, then I'll just give him a blank check and have him fill in whatever he wants!”

Hearing Bea's complaint, Lyra—who was wearing a pastel nightgown while drying her hair—just smiled before replying, “You should know that by doing that, you will only scare her! After all, anyone would instantly wonder if you were useless if you just told them before giving them a blank check! ”

"…That makes sense…"

After which, the two fell silent for a while as Lyra looked around while cupping her hands on her cheeks.

Although none of them were aware of it, there was a figure eavesdropping on them right outside the window of their villa.

“By the way, Sister-in-law, I've seen you sigh a lot since we got here.. Are you sure nothing bothers you?” ask Bea.

“...Well, just now when we had just arrived, I saw a figure very similar to your brother..” explained Lyra while feeling her eyes slightly watery.

“Ah...you missed my cousin again, yes..?” reply Bea with a sad tone.

“It has been more than half a year but there is still no news of Gerald at all.. We do not even know if he is alive or dead.” muttered Lyra while slowly covering her entire face, crying shortly afterwards.

Also while crying now, Bea replied, “Don't worry, sister-in-law! He'll be fine! Moreover, if the Moldell family really caught him, then their family would definitely not be silent about it, right?”

After saying that, Bea pulled Lyra closer and the two sisters hugged each other tightly.

Upon seeing this, the figure outside found himself clenching his fists tightly as well.
