The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 495
All three of them were then blindfolded before being driven off to somewhere. They were eventually led into a building and their phones were taken away from them too, before their blindfolds were removed.
Xeno was absolutely positive that the person who had planned for all this was none other than Quazzieâs cousin, Grover.
This was definitely part of Quazzieâs plan for revenge.
After all, they were here but not Quazzie and his literal gang members. It didnât require a lot of brain cells for Gerald to figure out that they were doing perfectly fine.
The trio had been locked up in a small room for a while now and none of them had been taken in for questioning.
âDmn it all! Iâll make sure I break that bstardâs back if itâs the last thing I do! Just you wait!â cursed Xeno.
All Gerald could do was try to calm him down. He couldnât really call for backup without his phone. Zack would probably have solved the matter by now if Gerald still had his cell phone with him.
âWhat are we going to do now? Whatâs going to happen to our shop? Weâve been here for more than two hours and itâs probably already six in the evening! Ahhh, this is making me so anxious!â
Gerald could tell how much she loved Xeno. After all, she hadnât caused a scene even during such a stressful situation and she was still thinking about their shop!
â¦Wait, it was six already?
Gerald thought for a moment. Zack would probably be anxiously trying to contact him now since he still wasnât there. If Zack still couldnât contact him after several tries, a search party for Gerald would probably ensue.
âXeno, Sienna, thereâs no use wasting your energy by being angry or worried. Thatâs exactly what they want. Letâs just wait for a little while longer. I think we should be able to leave in an hour or so!â said Gerald.
âAn hour? Thatâs too quick and specific, Gerald! Pretty sure weâll be in here much longer⦠Those b*stards are definitely up to something nastyâ¦â replied Xeno, still glaring at the door.
Gerald simply remained quiet and calm.
While this was happening, Quazzie was handing a cigarette over to Grover in another building.
âAhh, Grover! That guyâs been getting on my nerves for a while now so this time, Iâm teaching him a real nice lesson that heâll remember for life!â
âDonât worry about it. And you! Stop causing so much trouble!â said Grover.
âMr. Grover! One of the phones keeps ringing!â said one of Groverâs men as he held Geraldâs phone in his hand.
In fact, that someone had been trying to call for over fifty times now.
âOh my, the ownerâs using a pretty good phone! That model should cost at least a few thousand dollars, right?â
The mother and daughter were also at the scene. The angry mother was glaring at Geraldâs phone.
âYeah, it costs about three thousand dollars. Itâs high-quality stuff!â said the girl, feeling slightly weirded out.
The couple being locked up didnât look like people who would buy such expensive things. Could it be Geraldâs? Could he secretly be a wealthy person?
She held herself back from laughing at the thought. That was simply impossible!
Whoever the phone belonged to, they were probably just trying to fake being rich. Poor people usually used high quality things to try to fake being rich after all.
âIf itâs really that expensive, letâs just take it! We have to get something back in return after getting beaten up after all!â said the woman angrily.
âLeave it be. Iâll help you claim your medical fees!â replied Grover.
It was truly a good phone. If anyone were to take it, it was going to be him!
âSo⦠Mr. Grover, do we pick up the call or not? It seems urgent!â said the same man from before.
âPick it up my ass! Just turn it off and put it aside!â scolded Grover.
âYouâre getting better at this, bro! Also, I heard that youâre getting a promotion soon!â said Quazzie respectfully.
âThat I am! Let me tell you something, Quazzie. The most important thing to have these days, is resources. Nothing can stop me or the people that I know! A good example would be our leader and the Merchantâs office deputy. Those are all resources you know!â
As Grover and Quazzie continued to chat, Zack looked at his phone anxiously.
âHow is it, Zack? Still not picking up?â
The party had already started and all the important guests had arrived. All but one. Gerald still wasnât there yet and he couldnât even be contacted anymore. Everyone was getting anxious.
âWorse. Nobody was picking up earlier but now, I canât even get the call through anymore!â said Zack as he frowned.
