Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2271
âOf course! Ask away!â replied Lucian with a nod.
âWell⦠Miss Lindsay⦠She never returned since she left, correct?â asked Gerald with a slight frown, though after talking twice to Lucian about it, he felt that the man truly didnât know a thing about all this.
What more, with how fondly he spoke of Lindsay, it was hard to imagine Lucian to be her kidnapper.
â⦠What do you mean by âreturnedâ? Werenât you and Aiden the ones who came with her?â replied Lucian, clearly startled to hear that.
Shaking his head, Gerald then replied, âNo, I meant after thatâ¦â
âWell⦠Ever since you left together, sheâs never returned⦠Besides, Mr. Lawrence never mentioned anything about sending his nice backâ¦â muttered Lucian in response.
âI seeâ¦â
âThough⦠Whereâs this coming from? Could something have happened to Lindsayâ¦?â asked Lucian in a serious tone. He, for one, wasnât the head of the family for nothing.
âUnfortunately, yes,â replied Gerald.
âWhat? Why havenât I heard about this? Actually, how did she even manage to disappear? After all, not only does she have you, a person who was able to take out the high elders of the three largest families in Yanam, but she also had Aiden a special forces agent on her side!â exclaimed Lucian as he clenched his fists.
âIt happened after Aiden sent her back. Apparently, she received a mission from her family and supposedly returned to your manor in Yanam. That was when she went missing,â explained Gerald in an indifferent tone.
âBut thatâs impossible! Mr. Lawrence never even told me that Lindsay was coming back! Iâll call him right this instant to ask what really happened! How could she have just disappeared on her way here?
And why hadnât he told me about this serious matter!â exclaimed Lucian as he got to his feet before getting his phone.
âHold it, Mr. Grubb!â replied Gerald as he grabbed Lucianâs arm.
âWith all due respect, not only is Mr. Lawrence my lifelong friend, but Lindsay is also my niece! How do you expect me to wait when something couldâve happened to her?!â exclaimed Lucian who was honestly more anxious now compared to when he was talking about Frey.
âIf things were really that simple, then the Lawrences wouldâve surely notified you the second Lindsay departed. After all, she had only made it back safely back then since Aiden was with her!â replied Gerald as he shook his head.
âAre you saying that the Lawrences donât want me to know about all this?â asked Lucian after a slight pause.
âWhile I donât know whatâs happened between you two, I suspect that to be the case. After all, we only learned about her disappearance from Aidenâs superior who was the only one the Lawrences had notified about the incident. With that said, Aiden and I had come here in the first place to investigate whether the Grubbs were involved with Lindsayâs case,â explained Gerald once Lucian calmed down a little.
âWhat? Why on earth would we do that? Itâs not like she has anything particularly valuable that we needâ¦â replied Lucian as he firmly shook his head.
