The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1015
ââ¦X-Xavia⦠W-we were wrong to treat you that way back then! Please, thereâs just so much money here! It would be near impossible for us to get the exact amount down!â stuttered her second aunt who was no fool.
Knowing full well that Xavia was finally back for her revenge, she begged to be released from her imminent torture.
âCount it. Donât make me repeat it a third time!â sneered Xavia as her second aunt instantly began crying out of fear.
Not knowing what else to do, she squatted down and began counting the dollar bills, one by one.
âRemember, I want the exact amount! No more and no less! Again, the money is yours once you get the final amount right. Get the amount wrong, however, then you can just keep on counting forever!â
added Xavia with a smile before walking over to the side and drinking a glass of water that her subordinate had gotten for her.
At the same time, a youth wearing a cap frowned under his mask as he continued observing Xaviaâs actions from a far corner.
He had just gotten into earshot, yet to think that the first thing he would hear was Xaviaâs cruel order.
For her to even think up of such a sadistic punishment, the youth wondered to himself how distorted her mind already was.
âHow on earth did you end up like thisâ¦â muttered the youth to himself.
Of course, the youth in question was Gerald.
He had been stalking Xavia for a while now with two reasons in mind. Firstly, he wanted to see if the Longs were currently up to anything.
As for his second reason, Gerald had initially wanted to find out whether Xavia had any unfulfilled wishes. She had, after all, saved him back then. Before witnessing what had just taken place, Gerald had planned to repay that huge favor by granting a wish of hers.
To his disappointment, here she was using her money to take revenge on others again!
âHumph! Since she can have anything she wants now, she probably doesnât even have any wishes that she canât grant herself! Regardless, that wonât last for long once Iâm done with the Long family. Iâll have my revenge on them sooner or later, so you best enjoy your power while you still can!â said Gerald as he shook his head.
Taking one final glance at her, he was just about to leave when he suddenly heard her say, âYou know my family placed all their hope on you back then. Do you remember when my dad prepared the money for you back when you first came to the Logan Province? Despite that, you actually had the nerve to chase me and my mom away like we were stray dogs when we needed your help! You didnât even allow us to enter the house! So how am I the cruel one now? After all, Iâm only giving you this much money since you love it so much!â
As Xaviaâs eldest uncle and the others present in the room began begging her for mercy again, Gerald himself was left stunned.
So that was why she was exacting her revenge⦠To think that Xavia had endured through so much humiliation and pain as a childâ¦
âYou there, stay here and keep an eye on them! Donât let them leave until they give you the exact amount!â growled Xavia as she tossed the glass she had been holding to the floor, sending it shattering as the fuming woman left the house.
Xavia ended up standing alone by a riverbank, hoping to get some peace of mind.
Gerald himself had followed her there, and he was currently hiding behind a tree. Just as he was about to leave again, however, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a few tall, sunglasses-wearing foreigners walking toward Xavia.
âGreetings, Miss Yorke!â said one of the foreigners as he bowed slightly.
âWhat is it?â replied Xavia rather coldly since she was still in an extremely bad mood.
âWell, we couldnât help but catch a glimpse of what you had earlier done to those people in that house!
Since theyâre obviously not nice people, we donât mind offering you our services to get rid of them for good!â added another foreigner.
âAnd who was it that said that I wanted to get rid of them? Thereâs no need to meddle in my business.
Regardless, who are all of you, and what do you want from me?â asked Xavia with a slight frown.
âWeâre here because our master deeply admires you, Miss Yorke! Heâs told us to personally invite you out to lunchâ
âI appreciate it, but Iâm not in the mood!â replied Xavia as she attempted to leave and reunite with her bodyguards.
After taking just a few steps, however, the foreigners stood in front of her, preventing Xavia from leaving.
âMiss Yorke, please donât put us in a difficult position⦠If you donât attend, our master will punish us terriblyâ¦â
âI beg your pardon? Are you going to force me to join him for lunch against my will?â
âWe certainly donât hope that itâll come to that. To avoid such a scenario, please just cooperate with usâ¦â said the same subordinate as the group of foreigners slowly began inching closer to her.
âHold it! Donât you know who I am? Iâm one of the Longs from Yanken! Youâre currently in Weston territory now, so youâd better not act rashly!â growled Xavia as she took a few steps back.
As she quickly fished her cell phone out to make a call, what seemed to be the leader of the group replied, âI hope you donât blame us for being imprudent since youâre so adamant on making it difficult for us⦠Itâs not all that bad, you know? After all, whoâs to say that you wonât end up cooperating with my master in the future? Regardless, hurry up and bring her along!â
Waving his hand after his order, the other subordinates immediately grabbed on to Xaviaâs arms.
