The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 637
Xavia hadnât expected things to go this way.
She had only wanted to use this opportunity to widen her social circle with the attendees.
If Gerald hadnât attended the event, her plan wouldâve gone smoothly.
Nobody could have ever anticipated that the event would end up in such a tense situation.
âHumph! Youâre such a disgrace to the Long Family, Yunus Long! I canât believe you would do such a thing!â said Xavia in disgust as she spat at him.
Her response was an immediate slap to the face from Yunus.
Yunusâs eyes were bloodshot as Xavia, overwhelmed by the force of his slap, fell atop one of the tables.
âYou fcking btch! Keep your mouth shut! All you do is ramble on and on! Iâm sick of all that! Who do you even think you are to lecture me like that? Iâm only saying this once. Youâre my sister-in-law merely because I acknowledged you as part of our family! If I hadnât brought you in, youâd just be another stray b*tch trying to claw your way in!â
âYou⦠You dare hit me?â said Xavia as she held onto her bruised cheek in disbelief. The corner of Xaviaâs lips had already begun bleeding as well.
Jerry didnât even bother saying anything after witnessing this.
The Long family was very big. Being a family with three grandsons to be future heirs, the distribution of wealth and power was rather complicated.
While Jerry himself wasnât one of the three young heirs of the Long family, they had sent him over this time to oversee things.
After seeing how Yunus was behaving, Jerry was boiling mad at him for tarnishing the Long familyâs name.
Then again, if Yunus was to lose favor among the other family members, there could still be hope for Jerry.
Since Jerry didnât have any relation with Xavia, he didnât really care about her.
At the time, the video from before was still playing on screen.
Gerald himself was watching the situation unfold before his very eyes in an indifferent manner.
He and Xavia were no longer in a relationship. He had also stopped blaming himself for being the cause of their breakup. There was really no need for him to feel guilty for a woman like her anymore.
Gerald could only hope that she wouldnât step foot into his world again. It would be much better for them to go their separate ways.
What a complicated situation.
âFck you! The Long family fed and clothed you! Things wouldnât have gone this way if you had only listened to me! This is entirely your fault, you btch!â yelled Yunus as he slapped her again.
Nobody stepped in to help her, not even her younger sister who was standing right beside her. She was paralyzed in fear.
As Xavia continued cupping her cheeks, she looked toward Gerald.
Gerald simply avoided making eye contact with her.
It was at that moment when she understood that nobody was coming to help her. She simply nodded before running out of the hall while bawling her eyes out.
As soon as she left, a wine bottle came smashing down against Yunusâs head.
One of the businessmen had stepped in to fight Yunus.
Seeing this, Zack and Gerald simply looked at each other with a smile. Both of them then shook their heads before moving to the side to watch the fight further unfold.
âThank you for what happened today!â said Giya as she approached Gerald.
âWhat are you thanking me for?â asked Gerald as he smiled subtly.
âFor helping me out!â
âI think youâve misunderstood something, Giya. I wasnât particularly aiming to help you. I just came here to clear my name!â replied Gerald with a smile.
He then began leading his men away from the scene.
Gerald was fully aware that this was only the beginning of his feud with the Long family. Zack had already told him about the previous disputes the Crawfords had with them.
Now that his sister wasnât around, the Long family was definitely going to continue trying to get their revenge for what had happened in the past.
From buying Wayfair Mountain Entertainment to Yunus trying to frame him. All of these were just signs of the many things to come.
