The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 908
âHah! As if we wouldnât know who you are! Youâre Mindy, the second young lady of the Fenderson family! Also, Jasmine was indeed having coffee. Past tense of course, since sheâs already been captured! Youâre the only one left to deal with! Now walk!â ordered the manâwho appeared to be the leader of the groupâas he shoved Mindy rather harshly.
As soon as he said that, the distant revving of engines could be heard. Moments later, a minibus could be seen speeding through the crowd toward them!
âGet in the car!â commanded the man as soon as the vehicle came to a screeching halt before them.
Not having any other choice, the trio simply obeyed.
At that point, Gerald was still considering whether he should make a move now or continue waiting for a bit. After all, even though these people had guns with them, he didnât really think that they were all that big a deal.
At that moment, a static voice could be heard coming from a walkie-talkie, stating, âAre you done?â
âYes we are! It was a piece of cake!â replied the leader.
As the two continued talking through the walkie-talkie, at some point, Jasmineâs voice could clearly be heard from the other end.
âSo they werenât lying when they said theyâve already captured Jasmine and the rest!â Gerald thought to himself.
With that in mind, he decided not to make a move just yet. He would just have to think of something once he reunited with Jasmine and the others later.
Before being allowed to leave the minibus with curtained windows, Gerald and the others had their heads covered with tiny sacks.
âMove forward!â
Eventually, the sacks were removed once they reached their destination. To Gerald, it seemed like they were in a cellar of sorts.
Looking around, he saw that Jasmine, Isabelle, Stella, and Warren were already here, though all four of them had been tied against chairs.
âMindy! Sanderson! Are both of you alright?â shouted Jasmine in a worried tone.
âI-Iâm fine⦠Who are those people, Jasmine? How could they be so daring?â asked Mindy hurriedly.
âThem? Hah! Theyâre lackeys of the Schuyler family! Those ungrateful b*stards!â scolded Jasmine in rage.
âNow just stay here quietly! Others will be coming over to accompany you later!â said one of the captors before the group of men walked out of the cellar.
ââ¦Regardless, to think that those people actually built a secret room within their houseâ¦â said Maia, breaking the awkward silence.
âIndeed. What more, the guns theyâre using are the newest models the countryâs produced! These people are definitely quite powerful!â said Warren with a frown.
Hearing that, Gerald remembered that both Warren and Maia had attended the university back then to investigate something. To think that they had remained undercover and active on the case for almost half a year by now.
âStella, Isabelle, and Maia⦠Iâm so sorry for burdening all of you⦠Worry not, Iâll definitely not allow the Schuylers to lay another finger on you!â apologized Jasmine.
âItâs fine, Miss Fenderson. The most important thing now, is to find a way to escape,â said Warren calmly.
Following that, a sigh was heard as Stella began crying out, âItâd be great if Gerald was here⦠With his capabilities, heâd definitely know what to do in such a situation!â
Unlike Maia, this was the first time Stella and Isabelle had found themselves in such a situation. It was natural for them to feel utterly terrified.
Upon hearing Geraldâs name being mentioned out of the blue, the other women in the room found themselves slightly stunned. This was especially the case for Jasmine though her expression turned somber soon enough.
ââ¦Wishing for him to be here in this situation really wonât help⦠After all, heâs gone missing!â said Jasmine.
ââ¦Huh? What? Since when? What happened?â asked Jasmineâs classmates in surprise.
âNobody knows⦠Itâs already been well over half a year, yet we donât even know if heâs dead or alive!â
explained Jasmine.
âHow⦠How could that beâ¦â said Stella in disbelief.
ââ¦No wonder Marvenâs company fell into bankruptcy so suddenly! So it had something to do with Gerald going missing!â added Isabelle, her tone downcast.
âHumph! It serves him right! After all, who told him to keep such a high profile? He thought he could do anything that he wished just because he was rich, but look what ended up happening to him after showing off so much! Heâs just a man with a bad fortune!â growled Maia angrily as she remembered her past encounters with him.
