Chapter 607
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 607
The more he pondered about the noises, the stranger the situation felt. Eventually, he decided to open the door to see what was going on. What he saw made his eyes widen in astonishment.
A strange man was trying to undress Rosalie in the room! Rosalie seemed to have been struggling for quite a while and tears were already in her eyes.
When the man saw Gerald, he simply smiled coldly before jumping off the bed and diving out the window.
But this was the seventh floor.
Gerald immediately rushed toward the window and looked down. However, there was no trace of the man at all.
âWhere the hell did he go?â Gerald thought to himself, stunned.
Turning around to check on Rosalie, Gerald found himself blushing deeply. As he was just about to cover her up with some blankets, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
âFor heavenâs sake, why are you so annoying? Geraldâs already looking after my cousin, thereâs no need for you to come along! You arenât getting anything by doing this!â said Melissaâs voice a little down the hallway.
It would appear that the group he had been drinking with earlier had followed Melissa as well. From her tone, it was clear that they had insisted on coming along, possibly because they saw her leaving to get medicine earlier.
âD*mn it! What should I even do now?â
Gerald was stupefied. What kind of misunderstandings would arise if they saw him in a room with a half-undressed Rosalie?
What more, when he attempted to help put her clothes on, Rosalie simply looked at him with teary eyes and told him not to come any closer. To make matters worse, she started calling for help with a faint voice!
âD*mn it all!â
At that moment, knocking could be heard at the door.
âGerald? Are you in there? Could you open the door- â¦Wait, cousin? Is that you? Whatâs wrong?â
shouted Melissa from behind the door. She had clearly heard her cousinâs voice calling for help by now.
âGerald? Mr. Crawford? Are you in there?â asked Melissa in her shocked state.
âYes, Iâm still in here!â replied Gerald as he immediately went to open the door.
âWhat took you so long to open the door? Could you have been- Ah!â
Though she had initially meant to tease him, when she saw the scene before her, she immediately let out a scream.
Hearing that, the other people who came with Melissa peeked in and some of them began screaming as well.
Everyone there was now looking at Gerald in disbelief. Though Mr. Crawford looked like a gentleman, to think that he was actually such a cunning and dirty person!
âWhat⦠What did you do to my cousin, Mr. Crawford?!â shouted Melissa.
âI⦠Youâre misunderstanding the situation! I didnât do anything!â
âIf it wasnât you, then why would my cousin do something like that to herself?â retorted Melissa.
âSomeone else was in here! When he saw me after I came back in to check on her, he leaped out the roomâs window!â
Gerald was definitely having a hard time defending himself and explaining the situation properly.
âWeâre on the seventh floor!â
A few of the men rushed toward the window before shouting, âHoly, itâs so high up here! If anyone jumps from this height, theyâll be crippled for life if they donât die!â
As Melissa covered Rosalie with some blankets, she said, âI trusted you, Mr. Crawford⦠To think that you were so dirty and wicket⦠I canât believe my grandpa actually praised you for having good conduct! Youâre as disgusting as they come!â
âSheâs right! It never once occurred to me that Mr. Crawford was actually someone like this! He hid his true colors so well! At least the other rich heirs act straightforwardly!â said a girl disdainfully.
âI swear to god, I wasnât involved in this! Itâs all a huge misunderstanding! Go look at the surveillance footage! I was standing outside this entire time!â replied Gerald.
Someone then immediately went off to notify the manager. It wasnât long before the manager arrived.
âFetch me the surveillance footage for this floor right this instant!â ordered Gerald.
âSurveillance footage? Apologies, Mr. Crawford, but our surveillance system went out of order yesterday! Iâm rather anxious about it since we still havenât managed to repair it yet!â replied the manager.
âHow do you know who I am?â
