The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 622
What more, he was terrified of what Jessica would do to him if she ever found out that he had hurt her brother!
However, he also didnât do it because Jessica had treated him kindly before.
Regardless, he hadnât initially dared to return before this chain of events took place. He truly only wanted to get his money and leave this godforsaken place.
He had previously made sure to keep a record of everything that happened while he was dealing with Yunus. He had predicted that if everything went smoothly, Gerald would continue being misunderstood for about a week. If things had gone according to plan, he would have eventually handed the recordings over to Zack anyway once he had successfully hidden himself.
It was just his luck to end up in his current situation. Since there wasnât going to be an easy way out of this anyway, he knew there was nothing to lose in asking Gerald to take him in.
âYou?â replied Gerald as he couldnât help but smile wryly.
âForget it. Just leave while you can! Worry not, Iâll forgive you today and Iâll tell my sister not to hold you accountable for your actions as well.â
Since Harryâs face looked naturally wretched, Gerald found it hard to tell whether he truly meant what he said or if he was simply fooling around.
âWait! As a form of courtesy, Iâll also present you with another big gift, Mr. Crawford! Iâm certain that youâll like it!â
Hearing that, Gerald and Zack exchanged glances. Eventually, Gerald nodded before saying, âFine. My final decision depends on what the gift is!â
After saying that, he turned around to look at Giya and Tammy.
âMr. Lyle, please get a car to send the girls home first!â said Gerald, his voice slightly cold and indifferent.
While Giya had hoped to talk more with Gerald, expecting him to show a least a little more concern, he didnât say a word to her.
Soon after, a car drove over to them. Gerald then entered and left immediately.
Of course, he was doing all of this on purpose. After all, he felt that it would be best for him to continue displaying this attitude so that he would be able to avoid any further misunderstandings in the future.
Giya could feel her heart aching slightly as she watched the car drive off. Was this the future of her relationship with Gerald? Was he going to continue being this cold and indifferent toward her?
Had he lost any affection he had for her as a friend as well?
Haha⦠That was probably the case.
Gerald had simply arrived to retrieve the evidence that he needed. He was only saving her because she just so happened to be there. Why was she even overthinking it?
Who was she anyway? Did she honestly think that Gerald was going to risk his life for her? Was she really feeling touched because of this?
âGiyayou stupid girl⦠Gerald only has Mila in his heart⦠Itâs obvious that heâs using the situation to his advantage to put some distance between you and himâ¦â
She could only bitterly remind herself of the reality of the situation.
To think that she had thought that there really existed a person who was willing to sacrifice their life for her. It was all just a bunch of deceptive lies!
After returning home safely, Giya found herself tossing and turning in bed for most of the night. She was only able to fall asleep nearing dawn.
However, she was woken abruptly by a loud noise outside at around nine in the morning.
âYou have to figure out a solution to this matter, Walton! After all, we followed you and left the Quarrington family together in the past! Youâre responsible for all of us! If you fail to do that, we wonât be able to sustain our family any longer!â
Giyaâs parents had returned, and together with a few of her aunts and uncles, they all seemed to be having a discussion with Walton regarding how they should deal with the issue between the Longs and Quarringtons in Yanken.
In the past, Walton had led this particular group of people away from the Quarrington family out of rage regarding some matters. However, they were now in a situation where they could no longer sustain the company that they had co-founded together.
Since he was the one who had led them away from the rest of the Quarringtons back then, he naturally had to take responsibility over everyone who was currently present.
âThere doesnât seem to be any results in Giya and the third young master of the Long familyâs relationship! We simply canât allow this to go on! Yunusâs birthday banquet is going to be held at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment today and heâs already invited Giya to accompany him there! Heâs obviously still waiting for Giya to accept his marriage proposal!â
Everyone was discussing the same thing.
âAlright, thatâs quite enough. All of you are already aware that Giya had run into some trouble last night.
While she made it out safely and is currently resting in her room, it saddens me to say that Mr. Long didnât even do anything to help my daughter at all! Itâs beyond upsetting!â
Walton and the others had rushed home early that morning the moment they found out that Giya had been involved in a kidnapping incident.
Before anyone could even begin discussing the kidnapping, the door creaked open.
Giya then stepped into the room with a bitter expression on her face.
âMom? Dad? You donât have to worry. Iâll attend his birthday banquet today.â
