The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2265
While the journey to the Grubb manor shouldâve taken three hours at most, it ended up extending to five hours due to the torrential rain. With that said, it was near noon by the time they got to the manor.
After parking the car, Gerald checked his phone and saw that Master Ghost had seen his message.
Pleased that Master Ghost had also said that he would relay the message to the others, Gerald was about to leave the car when he suddenly noticed a servant running toward him with an umbrella.
Outstretching his hand that was holding onto a folded umbrella, the servant then asked, âGood day, sir.
May I know why youâre here?â
âIâm looking for Mr. Grubb to discuss something,â replied Gerald as he took the umbrella and opened it.
Once Aiden was under Geraldâs umbrella as well, the servant smiled before asking, âPardon me, but which Mr. Grubb could you be referring to?â
Aside from the live in son-in-law and the daughter-in-law, most of the people living there were Grubbs.
âLucian,â replied Gerald in a calm tone.
âOh? Youâre here to meet the master?â replied the stunned servant who quickly straightened his back to appear more respectful.
âIs he in? If he isnât, thereâs no need to ring him up. Weâll just wait here for a bit,â said Gerald as he and Aiden began walking into the manor.
âHeâs in. With how heavy the rain is today, he doesnât have any other guests visiting either,â explained the butler as he lowered his gaze, not even daring to look Gerald in the eye. After all, not only had the youth dared to come over, but he had even called his master by name! All that could only mean that Gerald either possessed a high status or he was someone his master took extremely seriously.
âLead us to him,â replied Gerald.
With that, the servant instantly led the two to the reception room, where they were promptly served some hot tea.
A short while later, Aiden who had ants in his pants couldnât help but say, â⦠Iâm taking a look around.â
If Lindsay really was locked up in here, he was going to take every chance he could to search for her.
Frowning slightly, Gerald replied, âJust remain seated here. Iâm sure heâll come soon.â
âBut Iâm worried about Miss Lawrenceâs safetyâ¦!â grumbled Aiden as he stared out the window. Not showing signs of letting up at all, the rain was so heavy that he could barely see a thing.
âEven if sheâs here, havenât we already alerted the enemy by showing ourselves? If you start searching now, arenât you just making it even more obvious that weâre looking for her?â replied Gerald as he sipped his tea.
âI⦠didnât think of thatâ¦â muttered Aiden as he quickly calmed down.
âIâm glad youâve realized. Now get back here and have your tea while itâs hot,â replied Gerald as he held Aidenâs cup out for him.
The second Geraldâs sentence ended, Lucian under the guide of his servant could be seen entering the reception room. Though his pants were drenched in rainwater, he didnât seem to care at all, especially when he saw Gerald.
Instantly breaking into a smile, Lucian then walked up to Gerald his hand extended while saying, âAnd here I thought my servant was kidding when he said you were here!â
âItâs been a while, Mr. Grubb, â replied Gerald as he began walking toward the enthusiastic man as well.
âIndeed! Still, why are you back so soon? Do you have some affairs to attend to? Or could it be thatâ¦
Youâve managed to grasp the meaning behind the Devotion Mirror and youâre here to return it?â asked Lucian as he shook Geraldâs hand.
âYouâre thinking too highly of me, Mr. Grubb. Thereâs no way Iâd be able to see through the mirror this quickly! Truth be told, Iâve yet to even scratch the surface of the mirrorâs secrets!â replied Gerald as he shook his head with a laugh.
