The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1996
With his sentence cut short by Yalindaâs prideful and taunting tone, there was no way Gerald was going to say no now. If she wanted a fight, she was getting one, and he was going to make sure she never challenged him again!
âFine, I accept! However, I have one condition!â replied Gerald.
âState it!â
âIf I win again, youâll have to start addressing me as brother Gerald. Needless to say, I hope youâll start treating me less coldly by that point! Seriously⦠Do you have to keep glaring at me like I owe you all the money in the world?â declared Gerald.
Understanding how much of a sore loser Yalinda was, Gerald knew that he had to set clear rules or Yalinda would simply challenge him again in the future.
Whatever the case was, Yalinda immediately replied, âDeal!â
âGlad to hear it! Also, Iâm sure you heard all that clearly, right, Captain Juan?â said Gerald as he turned to look at Tanner. With her father bearing witness to all this, Gerald was pretty sure Yalinda wouldnât have the guts to be a sore loser once she lost. Tanner seemed to catch Geraldâs drift as well, and he simply noddedâ¦
Once dinner was overâand after a short restâthe group of four then headed to the garden togetherâ¦
Momentarily staring at Gerald as he stood opposite of her, Yalinda took in a deep breath before growling, âReady?â
âAs ready as you are!â replied Gerald in a casual tone.
Hearing that, Yalinda immediately bolted toward him, using all of her strength to attack straight off the bat!
Even though Yalinda was clearly using all that she had, to Gerald, she was still lightyears away from his level. In terms of strength, she couldnât even come close to comparing!
With that in mind, Gerald calmly took a step back as Yalindaâs kick flew right past him⦠and with a swift grab, Gerald held Yalindaâs leg in hand! As Gerald then yanked it downward, Yalinda quickly made a split, hoping to avoid getting hurt.
Unfortunately for her, Geraldâs immediate reaction to that was to pin her legs to the ground! Since she was now incapacitated, Gerald smiled faintly before saying, âWell, looks like itâs my win!â
Upon hearing that, Yalindaâs eyes instantly widened as she went red in embarrassment. To think that she had lost so easily again!
ap âThereâs nothing else to say, Yalinda! You lost, so itâs only fair that you accept it!â declared Tannerâ
who had been watching everything from the sideâ, not even giving his daughter a chance to refute.
Tanner, for one, could tell that his daughter was never going to be a match for Gerald. Aside from that, he was also well aware that Gerald had gone easy on her.
Whatever the case was, after hearing Tannerâs words, Gerald then released Yalinda before adding with a subtle smile, âYour fatherâs right, Miss Juans! Best not be a sore loser again!â
âH-humph! Whoâs being a sore loser? I admit that I lost!â scoffed Yalinda before running off, clearly having a temper.
â.s this girl seriousâ¦? Ahh⦠To hell with all this!â Gerald thought to himself in resignation. What the hell happened to that deal where she wouldnât remain angry at him if she lost? As if that wasnât enough, she was even victimizing herself despite being the bully!
