Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1026
“P-please spare our lives, Mr. Crawford!” cried out Zander as he immediately knelt in fright. Seeing that, all the
other Lovewells did the same.
Taking in a deep breath, Gerald closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again. The rage in his eyes
was no longer present.
Since Gerald was still enraged earlier, Zayn had made the fatal mistake of touching him while he was still in an
extremely hostile state.
Now that he was much calmer, Gerald turned to face Zander and walked toward him before saying, “…Spare your
lives? After you’ve gone against your promise to hand the Book of Beasts over to me? And don’t even get me
started on the fact that you colluded with the Moldells to harm me…”
Upon saying that, he gently grabbed onto the top of Zander’s head. Zander himself already had a face filled with
tears and snot as he stared at the demon of a man standing before him.
Just as Gerald was about to amplify the force of his grip, Haven suddenly rushed in while shouting, “G-Gerald!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDon’t!”
“H-Haven! You’re here! P-please save me!” wailed the terrified Xareni as she instantly ran toward Haven and hid
behind her.
As Xareni stared at Gerald with fearful eyes from behind Haven, Haven herself said, “G-Gerald… I know what my
father did was wrong… But he wasn’t in the right mind when he agreed with the plan! Here, I’ve brought the Book
of Beasts along with me! You can have but please, please let my family go…”
Now already in tears, she then walked toward Gerald with the book in hand.
“D-don’t, Haven! He’ll kill you!” pleaded Xareni as she grabbed on to her sister’s arm.
“It’s fine, sister. Gerald already told me that we were friends, so I’m confident that he won’t hurt me!”
With that, she loosened Xareni’s grip on her arm before continuing to walk over to Gerald. Once she was standing
before him, she held the Book of Beasts out before saying with teary ears, “…Gerald… If you really have to kill my
father just to relieve all your hatred, then please kill me instead… Once you’ve done that, I hope you’ll be willing to
let my father and everyone else go… Though you’re not obligated to do so, please consider my wish as a friend,
okay…?”
Upon hearing that and seeing Haven’s trickling tears, Gerald felt a sudden pain in his heart. He had initially planned
on killing off the rest of the Lovewells. After all, they were no better off than the Moldells at this point.
However, he could see that Haven truly regarded him as a friend. After all, the girl had been extremely nervous
earlier when she found out that he had been poisoned. Knowing that, Gerald couldn’t bear to break her heart any
further.
“…I’ll be taking the Book of Beasts for the time being. I’ll return the book once I’m done reading it!”
With that, Gerald took the book from Haven’s hands and immediately left. Seeing that, Haven jogged after him to
see him out.
Zander himself remained in his kneeling position, still too terrified to even feel his legs. At that moment, a young
man suddenly rushed in, shouting, “M-Mr. Lovewell! Something bad is happening! There are many people outsi-”
His sentence ended prematurely the moment he saw the carnage that Gerald had left behind in the room. After a
brief moment of silence in his shock, the young man finally snapped out of it.
Gulping, he then continued, “…A… A lot of men in black suits are here…”
Haven herself—who was already at the door since she had seen Gerald out—was already staring at the many men
standing in her family’s courtyard.
They were Welson’s subordinates.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Let’s head out!” said Gerald casually as he got into one of the cars and left.
Once the cars were gone, Haven found herself taking a few steps backward.
To think that she had once thought that Gerald was a restrained young man… She realized just how wrong she had
been as she recalled all of Gerald’s cruelty and ruthlessness today.
If she had looked down on Gerald just as her sister had done, then her entire family would’ve probably already been
wiped out by this murderous demon by now.
‘…So it turns out that this is who you truly are, Gerald… Now I finally know…’ Haven thought to herself.
It was sometime after Gerald left that Xavia came along with her bodyguards. Seeing Haven standing at the door,
she approached her before saying, “What a coincidence, Miss Haven! Your father should be rather free now, right?
I plan to visit him…”
Xavia’s sentence trailed off the moment she realized that Haven wasn’t even listening to her. Instead, the girl was
simply muttering what seemed to be the same word over and over again in a tiny voice. Seconds later, Haven
turned around to leave without ever looking back.
“…W-what did you say…?” asked Xavia nervously, finally finding her voice as she watched the girl slowly walk off
into the distance.
“The second young lady seems to be in a bad mood today, Miss. I propose that we go visit Mr. Zander directly,”
suggested the bodyguard standing beside Xavia.
Seemingly ignoring her guard’s comment, Xavia then muttered under her breath, “…No… She couldn’t have said
his name… right? Haven… Were you truly muttering Gerald’s name…?”
