The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 619
âWell⦠I guess thereâs no harm in telling you the truth at this point. After all, itâd be better for you to know what kind of person Mr. Long really is since youâre marrying him soon. I have to say though, Mr.
Crawford really is too careless. He barely ever has guards escorting him wherever he goes! Mr. Long was aware of this so he one day approached me, saying that he had something to discussâ¦â
By the time Harryâs story ended, Giyaâs heart was beating extremely rapidly.
âSo he was innocent after all! You did this! Why did you have to set him up?!â shouted Giya, her eyes bloodshot.
She was experiencing a great surge of emotions in her heart.
How could she have been so stupid?
She had known Gerald for quite a while now. How could he ever be the kind of person Yunus had framed him to be?
Gerald had even tried to defend himself, saying that he wasnât the one who had committed the act. He must have only tried to prove his innocence to her because he considered her to be a good friend.
What more, he even specifically went over to find her, but what did she do?
She didnât even give him a chance to explain himself. What more, she even called him a disgusting jerk! He must have felt extremely disappointed back then!
She was his only friend yet she refused to believe himâ¦
Why⦠Why had she driven him away back then? Why did she refuse to let him explain himself?
âGerald⦠Iâve misunderstood you⦠Iâm⦠Iâm so sorryâ¦!â said Giya as tears started running down her cheeks.
âAlright, thatâs enough! I donât care about your misunderstanding with him! I just want my money already! Once I get my hands on it, no one will be able to find me. You can continue your squabble with him all you want after that! Now hurry up and give me his phone number!â ordered Harry.
âI donât have it! Even if I did, I wouldnât give it to you! Iâm not letting you hurt him!â
âFor fckâs sake, were you even listening? Iâm not going to hurt him! Rather, Iâm giving him a chance to prove his innocence! Just give me the dmn number already! Donât blame me if I stop being gentlemanly! Do you believe that Iâll take care of your friend first if you plan to delay this any longer?â
said Harry as he unbuckled his belt.
âW-wait! No! No! No!â yelled Tammy in fright.
âG-Giya, it really seems like he doesnât have any other intentions aside from getting money! Why donât you just give him Geraldâs number so that he can come save us?â said Tammy, almost in tears.
âHaha⦠Tammy, even if I tell him that weâre in danger, Gerald wonât come to save us⦠I broke his heart too badly this time⦠We canât even be friends anymore!â replied Giya, her eyes red.
âEven if he does come, itâll just be because he wants to clear his name of this huge mess!â
âOh, for the love of god! Just give me the number so that I can take the money and leave! Itâs that simple!â said Harry, his voice growing wearier by the minute.
âI⦠I have his number! You can have it!â said Tammy, finally giving in.
A little while later, Gerald picked his phone up before asking, âHello? Whatâs wrong, Tammy?â
âHeh⦠Hello, Mr. Crawford, itâs me, Harry! How are you?â
âHarry?â
âHave you forgotten about me already? We met briefly at noon in the hotel!â
âItâs you!â shouted Gerald as he immediately sat up on his bed.
âThatâs right! Iâm aware that youâve been searching all over Mayberry City for me, so after giving it some thought, Iâm hoping that youâll be willing to negotiate and strike a deal with me! Also, Miss Giya and Miss Tammy are with me now. Just thought youâd like to know about that,â replied Harry.
âYou dare to even kidnap Giya? Whatâs your motive?â replied Gerald coldly.
âAlright, so hereâs the thing. Since Miss Crawford had looked out for me so much before, letâs just say that Iâd feel slightly guilty just leaving things as they are. Why donât we do this? See, Iâve taped the entire incident and Iâm willing to hand over all the evidence as long as youâre willing to provide me with a sum of money! Once I get that money, youâll be able to prove your own innocence!â
âIâll ask you again. Why did you kidnap Miss Giya!â repeated Gerald.
âOh, donât worry about her. I assure you that sheâs completely fine. However, youâll need to hand the money over to me. Personally. I wonât accept any bank transfers and youâre not allowed to have any bodyguards around. I know how powerful Drake and Tyson are!â
As she listened to their conversation, Giya could only bite her lower lip softly.
âFine. Iâll be heading over now, but you better release them immediately after!â replied Gerald without the slightest hesitation.
Though Gerald was still feeling slightly disappointed with Giya, he knew he would never be able to forgive himself if Giya were to end up facing misfortune because of his lack of action.
