Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1228
“Not at all,” replied Gerald casually.
Though Maia wanted to say more to express her concern, she simply couldn’t bring herself to say anything at all. After all, she had earlier looked down on Gerald, even claiming that he was going to give them more trouble than help!
Well, to be more precise, she hadn’t treated him seriously at all from the moment they had first met all the way back in high school. Even when they had finally reunited in the bar years later and after Maia found out that he was extremely rich back in the Salford Province, never had she taken him seriously in the least.
Regardless, Maia couldn’t help but feel her heart race now that she was standing before this strange, new Gerald. In all honesty, she now had great admiration and respect for him deep in her heart.
Gerald himself barely felt the need to show off in front of Maia. After all, he didn’t need her admiration or respect to fulfill his vanity.
Shaking the thought off, Gerald suddenly remembered something. Turning around, he saw—from quite a distance away—that the two girls from earlier were still quivering in the car.
Back when he was on the car’s roof, he had heard one of the girls screaming. Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gerald was immediately able to guess that Maverick must have kidnapped both Yulisa and Noelle!
The fact that Gerald could earlier also feel strong yin energy coming from within the car further solidified his theory.
With that in mind, he quickly headed over to the car.
The girls themselves hadn’t been wearing any seatbelts earlier, so—due to the car stopping so abruptly—they had been flung forward, colliding with the back of the front seats! Both of them were never meant to bear this amount of impact, so it was no wonder why Yulisa and Noelle were feeling like their bodies were going to fall apart any second now.
By the time Gerald came close enough, he could see that Yulisa barely had the image of a young lady anymore as she continued bawling her eyes out.
“Everything’s going to be alright… Now come on out. Both of you!” said Gerald as he couldn’t help but smile wryly while looking at the two girls.
The slight bitterness in his smile, of course, had stemmed from the fact that Gerald could tell that all that had happened wasn’t just mere coincidence.
