Chapter 310
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 310
Yancy Zimmerman was an august personage in this campus and Aiden Baker even more so.
And theyâd come in here with a veritable army to rescue this Gerald person.
What was the connection, here?
Whatâs moreâ¦they were actually taking orders from him?
âWhat are you waiting for? I want the stuffing beaten out of her!â Aiden roared.
Yancy dragged Linda away and barked for the guys to start smacking her about.
âYouâre totally barking mad! Aiden Baker, are you really going to make an enemy of meâ¦for the sake of these two nobodies?â This turn of events had happened too abruptly for Liara to make any sense of it.
Aidenâ¦how dare he treat her like this?
âHah!â Aiden sneered coldly. âThatâs rightâand what can you do about it? Youâre just another whore under Rye Group!â
âNo way! You dare insult me?â
Smack!
Humiliation turning to rage, Liara lunged forward to attack Aiden, only to be knocked back to ground with another ringing slap.
Blood was trickling from a corner of her mouth, now.
Liara couldnât understand it at all. Was Aiden on drugs or something?
But worst of all was the way everyone was watching her right now, as though they couldnât believe their own eyes.
And Aiden wasnât even done with her yet.
At that moment, Liaraâs phone rang. The caller was identified as âCaptainâ.
Her eyes lit up and she took the call straight away. âCaptain, I need your help! Hurry, or else your boss will never see me again!â She wept into the phone.
The captain spoke emotionlessly, âYes, Miss Liara. Someoneâs already called me. Could you pass the phone to Mr Baker?â
The hell she would! Liara switched the call to speakerphone, for everyone to hear.
âHello, Mr Baker. There must be some misunderstanding going on hereâ¦â the captain called out. âIâm sure youâre well aware whose woman Miss Liara is!â
âI couldnât care less how close she is to William Rye. Even if she were Henry Ryeâs personal plaything, that still wouldnât stop me now!â
What a joke! Aiden knew very well who Geraldâs sister wasâJessica Crawford and all her family held power beyond measure. There wasnât even any question as to whose side to take!
Put it this wayâif it had been Madam Jessica in his place here, there would be much more than a mere beatdown going on!
âAlright, I can see you Mayberry people have no regard for Rye Group whatsoever. Mr Baker, no one would deny Mayberryâs clout, but youâve only been around the block for a dozen years or so. Why donât you go home and ask your daddy how long Rye Group has been doing things?â
The captain was spitting out every word now. âTo attack Mr Ryeâs woman like this is no different from attacking Mr Rye himself!â
Liara could feel her courage returning. âHehâ¦let me tell you, Aiden Baker⦠my boyfriend is none other than William Rye himself! Heâs back in the country these days, and when he finds out what happened to meâ¦Your Mayberry people have some influence, sure, but youâd still try to get along with the Rye family, donât you? Your dadâs under Zack Lyle, and even if Mr Lyle were to cover for you, it would still have to be for a good reason, right? Hah!â
Aiden Baker wasnât invincible. There were matters that went over his own head.
In this regard, he turned to Gerald. If Gerald ordered the assault to continue, there would be no hesitation and nothing to fear!
But Gerald kept silent. Apparently, one of Aidenâs subordinates had supplied him with a taser.
He walked up and stuck Liara with it. Zap!
Liaraâs whole body tensed up and then she collapsed to the floor, convulsing.
With some things, one had to endure, take a step back, and see the bigger picture. But when sheâd started talking about how Rye Group would have her back, Gerald had lost his temper.
Truly, there was no escaping some feuds.
Last time, heâd nearly been made a cripple by Damien Rye. To tell the truth, he still hadnât gotten over that incident.
And then today, this Liara girl had disgraced him. If Gerald held in his anger any longer, it might kill him!
It had all started with Damien Ryeâand now he had to settle a score with Rye Groupâ¦
This was enough for now, and there was no hope in continuing with lunch, so Gerald took Queta and left with the others.
A solemn hush fell over the onlooking crowd.
âMy gosh, that guyâs name was Gerald, wasnât it? He looked like a total loser, but it turns out heâs a total bad-ass! Even Aiden Baker was at his beck and call!â
âYeah! Itâs so depressing, man! Iâve heard that Yancy Zimmerman is filthy rich, too, but he looked like he was ready to lay down his life for that Gerald tramp!â
âAre you guys retards? Still calling him namesâ¦donât you get it? What was his name again?â
âCrawford, I think. Oh, crap! Could he beâ¦?â
