Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 867
âHow truly luxurious!â added the other women in surprise.
Curious to know what kinds of big shots drove such expensive-looking cars, Marilyn and the others chose to wait near the door to see who got out.
A few of them even got their compact mirrors out and started touching up their makeup! After all, if the ones who got out of the car were rich, young heirs, whoâs to say that they wouldnât end up falling for one of them? Haha!
Eventually, a group of black-suited bodyguards got out of the cars before finally opening the door to the most expensive-looking car. Out stepped a rather familiar-looking rich heirâ¦
ââ¦Hey. Isnât⦠Isnât that Gerald?â asked Marilyn, stupefied by what she was seeing.
âGiya, thatâs⦠Thatâs Gerald, isnât it?â repeated Marilyn as she started hopping excitedly in place.
In response, Giya nodded before saying, âIt is!â
âMy god! Gerald⦠To think that he actually has a team of cars⦠What exactly is going on hereâ¦?â
Her shock was warranted since previously, Marilyn had only found out that Gerald was rich. What she was seeing now was on a whole other level. She hadnât expected Gerald to have this side to him.
Gerald himself was clearly unaware that Giya and the others were spying on him.
The girls then watched as Gerald led his subordinates all the way to the Long family manorâs entrance, filled with vigor.
âDid the Long family personally invite Gerald or something?â squealed Marilyn excitedly.
âThereâs no way they could have⦠Something feels off⦠Come one, letâs get closer and have a look!â
said Giya.
With that, Giya tugged Marilynâwho still looked baffledâby the hand, and together, they silently made their way into the manor as well. Upon entering, they saw both parties seemingly confronting each other.
âYouâre Gerald, arenât you? From what I can recall, my family didnât invite you over!â said those from the Long family with hostile tones.
âHumph! How ballsy of you to come over! Fess up! Whereâs Mr. Shane Long? And Mr. Yunus as well!
Did you kidnap them both?â shouted another Long who couldnât help but sneer coldly at Gerald and his men.
âNow, now, thereâs no need to be rude. How could any of you say that without any evidence? What if Mr. Crawford isnât involved at all?â said Master Long as he made his appearance, gesturing to his family members to back down.
He then looked at Gerald with a coy smile on his face before saying âNow isnât that right, Mr.
Crawford?â
âIâm afraid theyâre right, Master Long! I was actively involved in both Yunusâs and Shaneâs cases!â
replied Gerald as he shook his head with a bitter smile on his face.
ââ¦Hmm?â said Master Long as he felt his eyelids twitch rapidly.
Shaneâs fatherâs eyes turned bloodshot the moment he heard Geraldâs confession.
âYou b*stard! So it really was you Crawford siblings in both cases! What the hell did you do to both Yunus and Shane?!â growled Shaneâs father coldly.
âHumph! Before that, Iâd like to talk about some unresolved issues which I believe need to be handled today. You Longs have done plenty of wicked deeds throughout the years and itâs about time you paid your debt!â sneered Gerald.
âA debt? What do you mean by that?â
As several people began discussing what Gerald had meant among themselves, Marilyn herself was watching the scene unfold together with the other girls. Watching him now, Gerald looked almost foreign to her.
As it turned out, Gerald had come here today to deal with the Longs.
âD*mn! Who the hell even is Gerald? How is he possibly standing up against the Longs?â
âOh itâs all written down here!â said Gerald as one of his subordinates walked forward with an agreement in his hands.
âThis is an agreement signed by the first young master of the Long family, Shane. He deeply offended the Crawford family, and has therefore decided to compensate the Crawford family. All of the Long familyâs properties that are under his supervision will now officially belong to the Crawford family.â
After reading through the agreement, Master Long could feel his lips twitching so quickly that it started to hurt.
Shane was in charge of at least a third of the Long familyâs properties.
âThis⦠This is clearly blackmail!â shouted Master Long.
âHold on, Iâm not done yet. That contract alone isnât enough to settle everything,â replied Gerald calmly.
âNot enough?â
âIndeed. After all, Shane still needs to pay a compensation of fifteen billion dollars!â
Upon hearing that, many of the Long family members began looking at each other helplessly. Many others, including Master Long himself, simply glared angrily at Gerald.
âNow bring him in!â ordered Gerald as a few bodyguards carried a sack into the room and tossed it onto the floor.
