Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 612
Mr. Leachâs tone was icy as he said that.
âFair, right, and proper you say? As if! From what weâve found, your subordinates had been lying in wait in their cars for at least two hours before the event even took place! Are you saying that they were able to foresee tonightâs incident that early on?â
âWhile the surveillance system in the hotel was conveniently out of order today, theyâre still working just fine in other places! Letâs just cut to the chase, Mr. Leach. Iâm sure you know a lot more about todayâs incident than me, am I right?â interrogated Gerald.
This was the first time Gerald had ever been framed.
His sister had previously told him that doing business would be both a test, and a chance for him to gain experience. Gerald hadnât felt the weight of her words before this, but he realized just how true her statement was now.
Despite hearing Geraldâs words, Mr. Leach refused to talk and simply averted his gaze.
To him, regardless of how powerful Gerald was, it was only a matter of fame. Sure, Gerald and his sister were famous, but the Longs from Yanken were different. They were an entire family.
Mr. Leach would much rather offend Mr. Crawford alone rather than Mr. Long and the rest of his family.
âSince youâre remaining quiet, Iâm certain now that youâve been trying to deliberately ruin me. It seems like I donât need to play the nice guy anymore!â said Gerald.
âHumph. I know what youâre trying to do. I anticipated that something like this would happen so Iâve already informed my subordinates to expose the entire incident if I donât return in an hour. While theyâre at it, theyâll make a police report as well!â replied Mr. Leach.
âOh, is that so? Mr. Leach youâre overthinking it. I only called you over to ask you a few questions. Iâve no intention of doing anything to you. You may leave nowâ¦â said Gerald with a faint smile.
After he said that, Mr. Leach was allowed to leave. Confused, he slowly got up to head for the exit but then he saw Gerald taking his phone out.
Gerald then began playing a video on his phone.
âDaddy! H-help! Save me!â screamed a girlâs voice in fear through Geraldâs phone.
When Mr. Leach heard her voice, he immediately rushed back in before anxiously saying, âWhat are you doing? Is that my daughterâs voice?â
âHumph! You donât have to worry about her. Your daughterâs now in your village hometown. You know, our companyâs film and television department have gone there to shoot a video about safety education.
It was only natural for us to invite your daughter for the shooting since sheâs so beautiful! Her role is of a young girl whoâs been kidnapped and if her father isnât able to meet a compromise with the kidnappers, sheâll be killed!â said Zack with a smile before taking the phone from Geraldâs hand and showing it to Mr. Leach.
When he watched the video, he found that what Zack had said was indeed true.
Mr. Leach gulped slightly at that moment. Their implicit message to him was clear as day.
Mr. Long had indeed arranged for the entire incident to happen, just to slander Mr. Crawford. Mr. Leach knew full well that he was the one who was wrong here.
Even if someone wanted to take revenge on Mr. Leach, he knew he couldnât say anything.
However, his daughter was safe now and she was even having fun with Mr. Crawfordâs staff. Mr.
Crawford had given him a great deal of respect and he couldnât just keep his act up.
ââ¦Mr. Crawford, when they claimed that you r*ped that girl at first, I certainly didnât believe that. I felt like there was some kind of misunderstanding, and I now know that itâs a terribly, terribly huge misunderstanding!â said Mr. Leach, his face pale.
âYouâre not the one at fault here, Mr. Leach. Also, we arenât scummy enough to freely blackmail others like Yunus. Tell us how we should resolve this. Understand that if you do deliberately try to ruin me, Iâll definitely not be willing and happy about it!â said Gerald.
âAlright, Iâll tell all of you the truth now. Yunus told us to modify the photographs in order to slander you.
His goal is to get the Owens to become your enemies! I, for one, believe that you would never do such a dirty and wicked thing, Mr. Crawford!â explained Mr. Leach, his entire body covered in cold sweat.
Now that Mr. Leach had told them the truth, Gerald looked toward Zack and nodded slightly. Zack then showed Mr. Leach another video.
As he watched the video, his eyes widened in disbelief. Mr. Leach was soon so angry that his entire face turned pale.
