Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1022 Upon hearing Gerald say that, Xareni instantly retorted, “You!-”
Before she could say anything rash, however, she simply nodded before remaining silent for a while tocalm herself.
A few seconds later, she smiled angrily before saying, “Well since you clearly look down on our smalltemple, then I guess the Lovewell family will just hand over the Book of Beasts to you tomorrow as ourtoken of appreciation, sir!”
The moment she was done speaking, Xareni instantly turned around and left his room. Upon closingthe door behind her, she took in a deep breath before glaring daggers at the room.
It was early the next morning when Haven pushed the door to Gerald’s room open before shouting,“Good morning, master!”
“Master?” replied Gerald as he couldn’t help but shake his head while looking at the girl who hadbrought a cup of ginseng tea along with her.
He didn’t even have a chance this time to remind her to knock first before entering this time. Despiteher intrusion, Gerald still ended up smiling.
“Yeah, master! Hahaha! You said you were going to teach me some skills, so of course I’d call you that!Anyway, I brought along some tea to formalize our master and disciple relationship!” said Haven with agrin.
“Now you’re just exaggerating it… I’m just going to teach you some self-defense skills as a friend!”
Clearly ignoring what he had just said, Haven simply replied, “Please accept this tea as a form ofrespect from your disciple, master!”
Bowing before presenting the tea before Gerald, he simply shook his head before taking the cup fromher.
After taking a sip, he gave her a wry smile before saying, “Will this do?”
“But of course! Now let’s go! Teach me something already!” squealed Haven as she hopped excitedlyin place.
Smiling, Gerald then stood up to leave with her…
However, the moment he did so, he immediately felt an excruciating pain in his stomach! Holding on tohis belly, his pale face scrunched up in agony as he shouted, “The… the tea!”
Getting increasingly worried as she watched Gerald get drenched in cold sweat, Haven instantlyreplied, stuttering, “H-huh? What’s going on? What’s wrong?”
“T-the tea… It’s been poisoned!” said Gerald in his extreme pain as he sat back on the bed beforerolling back and forth, clenching tightly onto his stomach the entire time.
“P-poisoned? P-please don’t scare me, Gerald!” squeaked Haven whose anxiousness had peakedafter seeing how much pain Gerald seemed to be in.
By the time her sentence ended, Gerald was already clasping onto his head with his hands.
“I-is your head not feeling well too? Please don’t scare me!” said Haven as she gently began shakinghis shoulders.
It wasn’t long after before Gerald stopped struggling. His eyes were now closed as his hands had gonelimp!
“G-Gerald…? Gerald! Oh god, please, wake up! Men! Men! Get in here!” cried out Haven.novelbin
Almost instantaneously, the door to Gerald’s room was flung open and the first person to enter wasnone other than Xareni.
“S-sister! Gerald seems to have been poiso-!”
Haven’s sentence ended prematurely for a reason. After all, she had noticed by then that right behindXareni was her father, Second uncle, and many others as they slowly entered the room as well.
“I have to admit, Second, the Scatter Pill really works its magic! Even the incredibly strong Geraldwasn’t able to resist the pill’s effects!” said Zander as he nodded while laughing.
“Hahaha! Truth be told, I was skeptical as well when the Moldells handed me the pill. After seeingGerald’s capabilities, I truly wasn’t sure whether he could even be poisoned! What more, the Moldellstold me that I didn’t even need to use an entire pill to get him seriously poisoned! From what they said,as long as he takes a single sip of the tea, the poison would work its magic no matter how strong hewas. Despite that, I slipped in the entire pill, just to be safe! Thankfully, he seems to have taken quite abig sip of the tea as well!”
“Based on what the Moldells said, Gerald will continue sleeping like this indefinitely, right, Seconduncle?” asked Xareni while straightening her hair.
“Indeed!”
“Dad? Sister?! What are all of you talking about? Were you the ones who poisoned him?!” askedHaven in her disbelief.
“You have nothing to do with anything here anymore, Haven. Butler! Take Haven to her room so shecan get some rest! And don’t let her leave without my permission!”
“Dad! Gerald’s our ally! He saved us!” cried out Haven as the butler quickly dragged her out of theroom.
Seconds later, a subordinate walked in before whispering, “Old master, the Moldells are here!”
“Oh? Then hurry up and invite them in!” replied Zander excitedly.
