Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 863

Bea’s disappearance had caused a massive uproar among those living in Yanken, and that included several big shots from Jacksonville. Since they were aware that Mr. Crawford wasn’t around, they had personally sent their own subordinates out to search for Bea in the meantime.

While they did suspect a few people to be involved, in the end, there simply weren’t enough clues to go with. Bea just seemed to have vanished into thin air!

Though Catherine herself wanted to contact the Crawfords from Northbay, only Bea had the means to contact them! Nobody else knew how to even get to them!

They weren’t even sure if Bea was still alive. After all, it had already been seven days since anyone had seen her. From the day she realized that her daughter could very well already be dead, Catherine had had an extremely haggard expression etched on her face.

Today, the Yaleman family’s members were all gathered to discuss how to progress with Bea’s disappearance. Though everyone at the meeting was solemn, Catherine herself was wailing her eyes out.

Nobody spoke a word and everyone simply lowered their heads as they faced the distressed mother.

Among the Yalemans, however, Yura and Rose secretly smiled as they exchanged gazes with each other.

The plan had worked flawlessly. After all, with the help of the Longs, of course they wouldn’t be able to find any clues from their investigations! Even if the others were to somehow doubt them, with the Longs on their side, nobody would be able to touch both mother and son.

“Mrs. Yaleman! Both Mr. Crawford and the chairman have returned!” announced a servant excitedly.

“What? Gerald’s finally come back?” said Catherine as she jolted up and rushed outside.

Several of the other Yalemans followed them out as well, everyone but Yura and his mother.

“…M-mom… Gerald’s back!” said Yura as he gulped while trembling.

“Fear not! There’s nothing to be afraid of! So what if they’ve returned?” soothed Rose calmly.

Hearing that, Yura became much more assured that their plan would still work out in the end.

Gerald himself was helping Lady Yaleman out of the car. Despite being at her age, she had accompanied Gerald for the past eight days. It was natural for her to be this exhausted.

When he saw the other Yalemans coming out to welcome their return, he was about to greet them when Catherine staggered toward him before grabbing his arm and pleading, “G-Gerald! Thank god you’re finally back! Please! We have to save Bea!”

“…Save? What do you mean ‘save her’? What happened?” asked Gerald.

“Calm yourself, Catherine. Now explain slowly to us… What’s wrong?” added Lady Yaleman.

“Bea… She’s… She’s gone missing for a week now! We haven’t been able to locate her at all!”

“What?!” replied Gerald, stunned.

To think that something would actually happen to Bea during his eight-day absence!

“Elaborate. What led to her disappearance?” asked Gerald rather anxiously.

Gerald was this anxious since Bea and her family were particularly important to him. It was natural for him to feel concerned if anything were to happen to any of them.

Hearing that, Catherine then told them the gist of what she knew.

“Bea’s such a nice girl… She hardly offends anyone! Who would anyone even want to harm her?” said Catherine.

“Let’s not be so pessimistic first, aunt. I’ll send some of my men to begin investigating the matter right this instant! Worry not, for whoever the culprits are, I’ll make sure each and every one of them come to regret ever being born into this world should they have laid their fingers on her!” declared Gerald as he continued supporting Lady Yaleman all the way back into the house.

“W-what should we do now, mom?” said Yura as he began trembling violently.

While the mother and child had first assumed that Gerald was a soft-hearted person, his bloodshot eyes that stemmed from his anxiety to find the culprits honestly frightened both of them. His reaction was not even close to what they had envisioned!

They had thought that he would be dispirited and nervous after finding out about Bea’s disappearance!

Never would they have imagined that he could express such viciousness and cruelty!

Rose herself was now feeling intimidated, wondering what would happen if Gerald ever found out that they were involved. Would he end up ruining their entire family…?
