Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 914
After saying that, Gerald patted Stella on her shoulder before nodding toward the driver.
Seeing that, the driver immediately started driving off the moment Gerald closed the carâs door.
When Stella turned to look at Gerald through the carâs rear window, a flash of lightning lit the sky behind him. Though he had barely moved from the spot he was standing in earlier, Stella felt a chill run down her spine as she saw the expression on his face for that split second when the lightning had struck.
It was at that moment when Stella knew that he was no longer the Gerald she once knew. This new Gerald was terrifying.
As he slowly disappeared from her view, roars of thunder could be heard, dark clouds completely covering the night sky. Torrential rains soon followed alongside massive gusts of strong wind.
With the storm already here, Gerald himself began making his next moveâ¦
Back at the Schuyler family mansion, several representatives from both the Long and Moldell family were now watching as Noah scolded his son.
âHow the hell have all of them managed to escape?! Not only did you fail to catch the culprits involved with the fire, but now weâve lost our hostages too?!â roared Noah in anger.
âWhile we were hot on Jasmine and her groupâs trail earlier, they somehow managed to slip away when they ran into the forested area! Worry not, however! Iâll definitely catch them sooner or later, dad!â
replied Yael as he wiped the cold rain off his face.
âHumph! Youâve messed up big time tonight, Yael! How am I supposed to feel confident letting you inherit such a large property in the future now?!â added Noah in his rage.
Throughout his long life, this was the first time he had ever been humiliated this deeply by someone, so it was no wonder why he was feeling so embarrassed.
âDonât blame Master Yael anymore, Mr. Schuyler. Itâs evident that the Fendersons secretly received help from others this time around. Regardless, Jasmine and the others escaping doesnât really affect us. After all, we already have full control over Bryson. Letâs just focus on increasing our manpower there. No matter how capable our invisible enemy is, weâre certain that they wonât be able to create any further messes,â said a few members of both the Long and Moldell family as they stepped forward.
Hearing that, Noah calmed down slightly before nodding.
ââ¦Youâre right. Since both your families are helping us with this, I trust that things will still go fine. As you said, the captives making their escape doesnât really affect the plan as a whole. Letâs just let that incident slide for now⦠Yes⦠Come! Iâm sure all of you havenât had enough wine earlier! Letâs drink as we chat the night away about our great success to come! Servants! Prepare more wine and dishes right this instant!â ordered Noah.
As one of the servants instantly ran over to fill Noahâs wine glass, he accidentally upset its contents all over Noahâs lap!
What followed was a tight slap to the servantâs face!
âF*cking hell! Do you have a death wish?!â roared Noah who was already in a bad mood.
âI-Iâm sorry master! Iâm so sorry!â
âThis is so f*cking annoying⦠Whereâs my wife anyway? She was here just moments ago, wasnât she?
Go call her over and tell her to make a toast! After all, there are so many distinguished guests here today!â grumbled Noah as he shook his head.
Cupping his swollen cheek, the servant quickly ran out of the room to call Noahâs wife over.
As soon as he was far enough, however, he turned back to face the room before spitting.
âYou old b*stard! Youâll definitely die a horrible death one day! Haley, go call for his wife!â shouted the servant as he continued glaring at the door to the conference room.
Though he knew for a fact that Haleyâa female servantâwas among a few other servants who were posted at this specific corridor, no reply returned. Turning around, he then shouted the order again, though the only reply he got was a tremendously loud rumble of thunder.
The intensity of the thunder made him shiver in place.
ââ¦What on earthâ¦? Where are the other servants? Actually, where is everyone?â said the servant, baffled by how eerily empty the entire place was.
At that moment, the light in the yard flickered once before everything outside went dark.
Seeing this, the servant began walking toward the manorâs entrance in confusion as he said, âD*mn it all⦠Where the hell are all the bodyguards? Were they all struck by lightning or something?â
Just as he opened the mansionâs front door, a flash of lightning lit the entire yard. It was at that moment when the servant finally realized why the entire mansion was empty.
A scream of pure terror followed shortly after.
