Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 497
Before they entered the room, both of them straightened their clothes and put on a calm façade.
âSo, whatâs it going to be, Xeno? My bros have their eyes on your store. Besides, youâre the one who messed with my brotherâs cousin anyway. Why donât you just sign the d*mn paperwork already?â said Grover as he entered before pointing at the papers on the table.
Quazzie entered next and he immediately slapped Xenoâs face.
He was lucky that Xenoâs arms had been tied together, otherwise, he would have received a swift punch to the gut!
âFck off you sons of btches! Have you no balls? Fight me one-to-one like real men, cowards!â
Xenoâs eyes were bloodshot.
This time, it was Groverâs turn to slap him. He was going to make sure that all three of them suffered for putting him in such a situation. Though to get caught, the police would still need evidence! There was no way theyâd be able to find such an obscure building, right?
Quazzie himself hadnât received any explanation on why Grover thought they were in trouble. Thus, he simply shrugged it off before thinking of calling his brothers over to gang up on Xeno.
The angry woman, on the other hand, walked toward Gerald and stared down at him with icy-cold glares. She was going to enjoy beating Gerald up.
Before she could land her first slap, however, one of Groverâs men burst into the room.
âGrover! Quazzie! This is bad, weâre in big trouble!â
The man was in such a panic that he fell after taking a few steps forward.
âOh god⦠what is it?â asked Grover as he turned to face his fallen subordinate. He hoped what he was thinking of wasnât true.
âArmed⦠police⦠and several luxury cars⦠Theyâve surrounded the entire god d*mn building!â
Grover knew that it was all over for him. He had been arrested before this. This time, however, he was aware that he was clearly in much hotter water.
Not only had he kidnapped three people, he had also posed as a fake cop. He thought these were nobodies!
Quazzie began panicking as well. He just wanted to teach Xeno a lesson and push him out of the second-hand car market! He didnât expect so many big shots to be involved!
Shaking his head, Grover rushed to the nearest window to peek out. Surely enough, there was a sea of people surrounding the building.
The headlights outside shone through the initially dark, night sky.
âF*cking! Not many people know about this rotten building! How the hell did they sniff us out so quickly?!â
By this point, Quazzieâs face was probably the palest it had ever been in his entire life.
âWeâre done for⦠Thereâs nothing we can do to clear our names off this!â
The mother and daughter were terrified as well.
The man who had fallen earlier gulped as he got up, his legs quivering.
âGrover? Quazzie? What are we to do?â
âHell if I know!â yelled Grover as his heart thumped rapidly.
At that moment, all of them in the room could hear people barging into the building.
Several armed police were swiftly ascending the stairs.
As soon as the police saw them, they immediately raised their guns.
âFreeze! Donât move!â
By the time Gerald and the others were free from their restraints, Grover, Quazzie, and their men were already pinned on the ground.
When they got outside, Michael, Zack, and a few other VIPs rushed toward Gerald.
âMr. Crawford, you must be terrified! Thank god we managed to track you down!â
âIâm fine! Donât worry!â replied Gerald.
What a huge commotion this had become.
As Grover and Quazzie stared wide-eyed at the scene before them, both of them began sweating profusely, their wrists now in cuffs.
All those present were big shots that could usually only be seen on television⦠And why were they calling Gerald Mr. Crawford?
He couldnât really be that Mr. Crawford, right? He couldnât be Mr. Crawford of Mayberry⦠Right?
Both of them gulped down hard at the realization of how big a mess they were in. Now that they knew better, they could safely say that their entire operation had been a suicide mission!
However, the mother and daughter were even more shocked.
âGeraldâ¦? What the hell is going on here?â asked Xeno, confused as to why so many big shots were comforting Gerald.
âIâll⦠explain it to you once we get back!â
He might as well use this opportunity to tell his good brother who he really was. There was no need to hide his true identity from Xeno anymore.
