The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 640
However, due to his old age and muddle-headedness, it would be quite a bit of trouble if Gerald was to follow him around. Gerald wasnât trying to be rude, but he just couldnât bear the thought of letting him suffer!
Early the next morning, Gerald received a call from Tammy. She had of course, called to discuss the fake marriage.
To keep the marriage a secret from the public, Gerald had told neither Zack nor Michael about it.
Gerald understood the reasoning behind Giyaâs request. The main purpose of the fake marriage was to let the Longs and Owens know that they were engaged.
âIâll be picking you up, Gerald! Wait downstairs!â said Tammy.
âAlright, alright, Iâll be down in a minute!â replied Gerald as he smiled bitterly.
The entire plan was quite simple. They were just going to have a banquet in a hotel so that Giyaâs family could finally settle down.
By the time he got downstairs, Tammy was already there waiting for him. They were ready to depart.
As they were about to leave, Gerald noticed someone standing in front of a car that had been parked at the hotelâs entrance.
It was Natasha Yorke.
As soon as she saw him, Natasha jogged over to Gerald.
âGerald! I came over to look for you but your bodyguards wouldnât allow me to enter! Humph!â said Natasha.
Geraldâs bodyguards were well aware that Natasha was Xaviaâs sister. Regardless of whatever reason she gave them, they persistently denied her from entering.
They didnât even bother informing Gerald about her arrival.
âWhat is it?â
âQuick! You have to save my sister! Sheâs going to take some cyanide in an attempt to commit suicide!
We fought last night yet I still failed to persuade her! Youâre the only person who can stop her!â said Natasha, her voice anxious.
âThen let her do it. Do you really think I can stop her?â replied Gerald as he smiled bitterly.
âHow could you be so heartlessâ¦? Do you have any idea why my sisterâs taking things this far? She wants you to take her seriously! What more, didnât you see how Yunus beat her up at the banquet yesterday?â
âYunus wanted my sister to lure you out so that he could do bad things to you! But my sister refused to do it! Look at you now! Youâre all fine and dandy while my sisterâs in deep trouble! Are you still going to turn your back against her now?â
âAs I said, she has nothing to do with me. If youâre willing, pass this message from me to her. If she wants trouble, thatâs fine by me. However, never stir up trouble in my villa ever again!â sneered Gerald as he walked away.
âYou⦠You b*tard! Youâre a monster, Gerald! Youâre on your way to marry someone when my sisterâs about to commit suicide!â screamed Natasha at him.
âHuh? Who told you that Iâm getting betrothed?â
âStop pretending! The Long family already knows all about it! I canât believe that youâre lying straight to my face!â bellowed Natasha.
âI donât care if you know, honestly, now stop wasting my time!â
Xavia had indeed been humiliated yesterday after being beaten up by Yunus in front of the crowd. In the past, Gerald might still have felt pitiful and sorry for her.
But not anymore.
He then left the hotel with Tammy as Natasha stomped her foot in anger before finally leaving.
A little while later at Mountain Top Villa, a housemaid informed âMadam, your sister has arrived!â
âHuh? Did Gerald come with her?â asked Xavia.
âOnly your sister, madam! Gerald isnât present.â
âIm⦠Impossible!â screamed Xavia angrily as she pushed the maid aside and walked to the door to see for herself. True to the maidâs word, only Natasha could be seen ascending the stairs. There was no sign of Gerald at all!
âThat⦠That son of a b*tch! When did he become this heartlessâ¦?â said Xavia, her face filled with dismay.
