The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1026

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1026 “P-please spare our lives, Mr. Crawford!” cried out Zander as he immediately knelt in fright. Seeing that,all the other Lovewells did the same.

Taking in a deep breath, Gerald closed his eyes for a brief moment before opening them again. Therage in his eyes was no longer present.

Since Gerald was still enraged earlier, Zayn had made the fatal mistake of touching him while he wasstill in an extremely hostile state.

Now that he was much calmer, Gerald turned to face Zander and walked toward him before saying, “…Spare your lives? After you’ve gone against your promise to hand the Book of Beasts over to me? Anddon’t even get me started on the fact that you colluded with the Moldells to harm me…”

Upon saying that, he gently grabbed onto the top of Zander’s head. Zander himself already had a facefilled with tears and snot as he stared at the demon of a man standing before him.

Just as Gerald was about to amplify the force of his grip, Haven suddenly rushed in while shouting, “G-Gerald! Don’t!”

“H-Haven! You’re here! P-please save me!” wailed the terrified Xareni as she instantly ran towardHaven and hid behind her.

As Xareni stared at Gerald with fearful eyes from behind Haven, Haven herself said, “G-Gerald… Iknow what my father did was wrong… But he wasn’t in the right mind when he agreed with the plan!

Here, I’ve brought the Book of Beasts along with me! You can have but please, please let my familygo…”

Now already in tears, she then walked toward Gerald with the book in hand.

“D-don’t, Haven! He’ll kill you!” pleaded Xareni as she grabbed on to her sister’s arm.

“It’s fine, sister. Gerald already told me that we were friends, so I’m confident that he won’t hurt me!”

With that, she loosened Xareni’s grip on her arm before continuing to walk over to Gerald. Once shewas standing before him, she held the Book of Beasts out before saying with teary ears, “…Gerald… Ifyou really have to kill my father just to relieve all your hatred, then please kill me instead… Once you’vedone that, I hope you’ll be willing to let my father and everyone else go… Though you’re not obligatedto do so, please consider my wish as a friend, okay…?”

Upon hearing that and seeing Haven’s trickling tears, Gerald felt a sudden pain in his heart. He hadinitially planned on killing off the rest of the Lovewells. After all, they were no better off than theMoldells at this point.

However, he could see that Haven truly regarded him as a friend. After all, the girl had been extremelynervous earlier when she found out that he had been poisoned. Knowing that, Gerald couldn’t bear tobreak her heart any further.

“…I’ll be taking the Book of Beasts for the time being. I’ll return the book once I’m done reading it!”

With that, Gerald took the book from Haven’s hands and immediately left. Seeing that, Haven joggedafter him to see him out.

Zander himself remained in his kneeling position, still too terrified to even feel his legs. At that moment,a young man suddenly rushed in, shouting, “M-Mr. Lovewell! Something bad is happening! There are

many people outsi-”

His sentence ended prematurely the moment he saw the carnage that Gerald had left behind in theroom. After a brief moment of silence in his shock, the young man finally snapped out of it.

Gulping, he then continued, “…A… A lot of men in black suits are here…”

Haven herself—who was already at the door since she had seen Gerald out—was already staring atthe many men standing in her family’s courtyard.

They were Welson’s subordinates.

“Let’s head out!” said Gerald casually as he got into one of the cars and left.

Once the cars were gone, Haven found herself taking a few steps backward.

To think that she had once thought that Gerald was a restrained young man… She realized just howwrong she had been as she recalled all of Gerald’s cruelty and ruthlessness today.

If she had looked down on Gerald just as her sister had done, then her entire family would’ve probablyalready been wiped out by this murderous demon by now.

‘…So it turns out that this is who you truly are, Gerald… Now I finally know…’ Haven thought to herself.

It was sometime after Gerald left that Xavia came along with her bodyguards. Seeing Haven standingat the door, she approached her before saying, “What a coincidence, Miss Haven! Your father shouldbe rather free now, right? I plan to visit him…”

Xavia’s sentence trailed off the moment she realized that Haven wasn’t even listening to her. Instead,the girl was simply muttering what seemed to be the same word over and over again in a tiny voice.Seconds later, Haven turned around to leave without ever looking back.

“…W-what did you say…?” asked Xavia nervously, finally finding her voice as she watched the girlslowly walk off into the distance.

“The second young lady seems to be in a bad mood today, Miss. I propose that we go visit Mr. Zanderdirectly,” suggested the bodyguard standing beside Xavia.novelbin

Seemingly ignoring her guard’s comment, Xavia then muttered under her breath, “…No… She couldn’thave said his name… right? Haven… Were you truly muttering Gerald’s name…?”
