Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 865
“Mom… Aren’t we being a bit too cruel…? Gerald’s not to be trifled with! If the truth ever gets out and Jessica
realizes that we were involved…”
Within their own room, Yura was now talking in an extremely worried manner to his mother.
In response, Rose sneered, “In for a penny, in for a pound! It’s not like we can help it! We were already running out
of options from the moment we decided to snatch the right to inherit the Yaleman family from Bea. With Gerald
dead, we won’t have any more enemies! If we’re lucky, the properties up North—that Gerald gave Bea—may even
eventually fall into our hands!” assured Rose.
“For now, we can only pray that Sheldon doesn’t mess up. After all, I’m aware of how much Gerald trusts that
butler!” added the villainous mother.
“But… But what if someone finds out about the poison?”
“Worry not, the poison I picked was both colorless and odorless. Besides, even if someone does manage to detect

unable to defend himself!” explained Rose in a vicious manner as her eyes narrowed.
“I understand, mom…”
As soon as his sentence ended, however, the door to their room instantly burst open! Immediately after, a group of
people dressed fully in black rushed in!
“What are all of you doing?!” shouted Rose as both she and her son started growing nervous.
Instead of replying, the men immediately covered their heads with black hoods which muffled any screams they
attempted to make.
When they finally came to a halt, Philip was standing before them.
Though the duo had initially thought that they could hang on long enough for Philip and his men to give up, all it
took was half an hour for him and his subordinates to make them spit out everything that had happened.
After all, Philip and his men were proficient in torturing people.
Both now tremendously terrified, neither of them dared to lie before Gerald’s face any longer.
“P-please Gerald! The one who wants to harm you is Shane! He’s the one who gave us the idea! Besides, Bea’s with
him now! We’re out of options too! You know, if we hadn’t followed his orders, he would’ve killed us by now! We
weren’t involved in the planning process of the kidnapping, Gerald!” said Rose, now so anxious that she was
quivering almost uncontrollably.
In her mind, she now admitted that she had looked down upon how ruthless Gerald could actually get. Rose had
simply assumed before this that as long as he didn’t have enough evidence, he wouldn’t act recklessly.
How wrong she was. After all, Gerald had suspected them from the very beginning.
“I do hope you don’t assume that you’ll be let off the bat just by putting all the blame on Shane. Regardless,
grandma will hear about all this tomorrow. She’ll know how to punish you. As for the Longs! I won’t let them off this
time!” growled Gerald coldly.
“Now… Be honest. Where did Shane hide Bea?”
It was a little while later in a dimly lit room within a secluded factory when Shane shouted, “Btch! Just sign the
dmned thing already!”
At the moment, Shane was tying Bea to a chair as several of his subordinates stood guard over the place.
“Just give up already!” growled Bea angrily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn response, Shane slapped her directly on the cheek!
“Bea, Bea, Bea… There’s a limit to my patience, you know? If it gets to a point where I think you’re too much of a
hassle to be useful, I’ll just kill you right here and right now!” warned Shane viciously.
“Please, I’m no fool, Shane! As if you’d ever let me go after I sign it!” sneered Bea.
Shane’s eyes turned bloodshot the moment he heard that.
Once the contract before her was signed, he would be able to retrieve a few of the properties that Bea owned. Just
as she said, once that happened, there was absolutely no way he would ever let her out alive.
“Hah! It seems I need to teach you a lesson! Call Second brother and the others over! They can act now! Humph!
Still, before they do it, perhaps I should let them enjoy themselves first! After all, you’re quite the beauty, Bea!” said
Shane maliciously.
“Right away, Mr. Long!” said his subordinates as they all laughed.
With that, one of the subordinates activated his walkie-talkie before saying, “Come up now.”
However, even after a few seconds had passed, there was no reply. Finding it odd, he called out to the few people
who had been stationed to stand guard downstairs.
No reply either.
“What’s happening here? Head downstairs and have a look!” ordered Shane.
