Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 345
Once the two parties had made their calls, they both waited in a temporary stalemate.
At the time, even the police couldn’t really predict how the situation would end. The results later would be the
deciding factor of whether today’s events were going to be released to the public or remain private.
“Which party’s going to come out on top?” muttered Sharon silently to herself, her heart filled with doubt and
hesitation.
One moment, she was rooting for Hayward to be the victor, and the next, she was hoping that Murphy—who had
still been sneakily looking at her with infatuated eyes—would be the one victorious.
To put it simply, an onslaught of complicated emotions were being flung at her.
While Sharon continued to wonder, footsteps could be heard from behind the interrogation room door.
Several footsteps in fact, and they all seemed to be moving rather hastily.
“Hell yeah, dad! Is Chairman Lloyd here?” asked Hayward excitedly.
“Don’t even dream about it. Chairman Lloyd and the others would never physically attend to deal with such
matters!” replied Hayward’s father with a soft sigh.
The creak of an opening door was heard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA group of middle-aged policemen entered the room immediately after.
“Sergeant Zales! Lieutenant Leeds!” shouted the two police officers immediately as they saluted them.
A group of men was also following behind them, an almost pressuring aura exuding from them.
“Ah, sergeant Zales. I was the one who had called Chairman Lloyd!” greeted Hayward’s father excitedly the
moment he saw the attractive policewoman.
“Lieutenant Leeds! The victim’s side has already contacted Miss Naomi as well! The person who was beaten up was
none other than Miss Naomi’s younger brother!” said Xyleena as she took a deep breath.
Even ** and ** were called here today!
Previously, she had found it hard to believe her cousin’s story when the white-haired youth and Maybach were
added into the equation. However, she now knew that her cousin’s sister was definitely more powerful and capable
than she was.
What followed was a short series of explanations, both parties expressing their positions to the two leaders.
“Mm? What Chairman Lloyd and what younger brother are you even talking about. Officer Wiles, have you
sufficiently interrogated them on what truly happened?” asked George.
“Yes, I have. Murphy was the one who started the whole thing by hitting Sharon at Trinity Jewelers. What followed
was that Sharon then called Hayward to beat Murphy up!”
“Well since neither party is willing to back down, there’s really no point deciding whether this matter should be
settled privately or publicly. They’ll just go through normal procedures, administrative detention and also
punishment! All the troublemakers are to be detained!” said George coldly.
At that moment, confusion swept through both parties.
“What do you mean by that? Aren’t you here to help?” asked Xyleena. She hadn’t expected that answer at all.
To think that her persistence was actually going to get her younger brother locked up!
What was going on here?
Was this really her sister’s power? If it wasn’t, who else could have gotten ** and ** to come here?
“You are Mr. Gerald Crawford, correct?”
A few people then turned to look around the room till their eyes were fixed on Gerald.
“That would be me,” said Gerald as he nodded.
The truth was, Gerald had already contacted Mr. Harrison much earlier on while he was still in the police car.
He had explained the entire situation to him.
Gerald was clean since there really wasn’t anything shady going on and he hadn’t actually done anything worth
noting at the scene.
However, it was still surprising to see ** and ** in person. Gerald had initially just expected Mr. Harrison to speak to
the police officers on his behalf.
“Well, you’re just an eyewitness in this case so you don’t need to stay here any longer. You may leave!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Alright, thanks for all your troubles!”
Gerald said nothing more and he simply walked out of the police station, leaving the others dumbfounded.
It was clear as day now.
The group of people there had come for Gerald.
As if it wasn’t clear enough, the men with strong auras completely ignored everyone else in the police station as
they turned to leave together with Gerald.
“F*ck!”
Xyleena felt her face turn red with a cocktail of embarrassment, shock, and surprise.
The same went for Sharon and Lilian.
All of them were left speechless.
Gerald seemed to have very good connections and relationships. From their attitude toward him earlier, it was
obvious that his connections were much better than Hayward’s father’s and even Xyleena’s!
‘Who exactly is Gerald?’
All of them were simultaneously thinking about this at the same time.
The weights that had been lifted off their chests seemed to have appeared again, this time possibly even heavier.
Xyleena wasn’t expecting to get such a mental slap to her face like this!
