Chapter 1211
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1211 With all the assailants now lying on the ground, Gerald threw the stick away. Naomi herself immediately ran toward the car to help Sherry up.
Being both soft and weak, the scene from earlier had almost shocked Sherry to death.
Had those men had the chance to touch her inappropriately, Sherry wouldn’t have had the will to live on with that memory in mind!
The fact that she had been constantly forced to do things against her will for a while now didn’t help her mental state. If they had truly had their way with her, then Sherry feared that taking her own life wasn’t going to be out of the question anymore.
Regardless, her teacher was now here and the teary-eyed Sherry immediately embraced Naomi while whimpering, “M-Miss Milton…! Y-you’ve been so good to me and yet I… I… I’m such a jerk! A total inhumane, jerk…!”
Comforting the crying girl, Naomi simply replied, “It’s alright, I understand… I don’t blame you… After all, you only did all this because your mother had fallen sick, right? Why didn’t you tell me that you had been going through such a rough time…?”
Naomi truly felt bad for what Sherry had to go through this entire time. She couldn’t imagine how hellish it would be for the girl had Gerald decided not to come back to look for her…
It’d be a complete waste for such a talented girl’s future to be destroyed, just like that… Not wanting to think about it anymore, Naomi simply reminded herself that in the end, the most important thing was that her student was still safe.
“I-I was the one who stole the money, miss…!” wailed Sherry, unable—and unwilling—to hide the truth anymore.
“B-but I didn’t dare use any of the money! No matter how broke I am, I’d never use such unclean cash! I’ve been earning all that I needed by working part-time as a tutor!” added Sherry in between tears.
“I’m proud of you for not using any of it… And again, I understand!” replied Naomi as she continued comforting the sobbing girl.
A little while later, Gerald walked toward the side of her house’s door and lifted a loose tile. Just as Sherry had said, the money was there, all thirty thousand dollars of it. Seeing that, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly touched by Sherry’s sincere personality.
“Hey now, your mother still hasn’t eaten, you know…? Now stop crying and let’s go cook her a new meal! I’d like to meet her at the hospital as well!” said Naomi as she wiped the tears off Sherry’s face.
Nodding slowly in agreement, the two of them then quickly cooked up a new meal. After getting it into the thermos, Gerald sent both Naomi and Sherry to the hospital.
As for the bloodied bodyguards left there, Gerald easily settled the messy scene with a single phone call.
Once they arrived at the hospital, Gerald joined the duo as they visited Sherry’s mother. From just a single look at her, Gerald was able to tell that the illness was nothing too serious, at least for his standards. While it wasn’t incurable, the problem was that treating her mother’s sickness required a lot of money.
Sherry truly had it rough. With that in mind, Gerald paid for all the medical fees needed and even promised Sherry that all her university living expenses and fees would be sponsored by the Mayberry
Commercial Group.
Gerald also told her that he would get a person named Zack to arrange a job for her once she made a full recovery. Comforting her, Gerald added that everything was going to get better soon.
It was about nine at night when everything was settled. Knowing that Sherry had been through a lot today, Naomi decided to accompany and have a little talk with her.
Since Gerald didn’t really know how to comfort such a young lady, he headed off with the same flask from before to get some water.
It was at that moment when…
Chapter 1212
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1212 All of a sudden, the jade charm that Gerald had been carrying around seemed to sense something!
Feeling his body tremble in excitement, Gerald knew that a woman with a strong yin physique was around!
With that, he immediately began searching around the area.
However, the jade’s reaction quickly vanished and Gerald found himself disappointed. He couldn’t just have imagined that, right?
“What on earth happened…? Why did it stop reacting so quickly?” muttered the confused Gerald to himself, his disappointment evident.
Since the charm had reacted so strongly just moments ago, Gerald assured himself that the reaction must have diminished since the woman with the strong yin physique had left the area. With that in mind, Gerald dashed down the hospital, actively looking around while hoping for another reaction from the jade. However, no further reactions were triggered.
By the time he gave up and returned to the hospital room, Naomi had just closed the door behind her.
“I think we should leave for now, Gerald… Sherry’s clearly exhausted herself from all the pressure she’s been facing lately, and I say this because she’s now fast asleep on an extra bed in the room! Still, I can’t help but worry about their safety if we leave just like that…” said Naomi.
“Not to worry. I’ve already ordered for a few bodyguards to stand guard over them without them knowing. My guards are quite capable so you needn’t worry any further!”
“That’s a relief… Also, Sherry told me that she would be heading to the police station to make her statement tomorrow. She’s far too pitiful after having to face all that so I really hope that you’ll take good care of her… She doesn’t deserve to get hurt a second time!”
“I’ll be there for everything!”
Hearing that, Naomi nodded slowly, a cocktail of emotions reflected in her eyes.
As long as Gerald was here, Naomi wouldn’t be afraid even if the sky began falling.
To be entirely honest, she sometimes still wondered what life would’ve been like if she had gotten together with Gerald at the very beginning. Perhaps they would’ve gotten married by now, living life happily with each other… She didn’t even care for Gerald’s money… All she truly wanted was to be with him…
Even so, Naomi knew that Gerald was still yearning for Mila who had apparently gone missing. With that in mind, there was no way that she was going to act that selfishly…
However, the more Gerald cared for her, the harder her heart throbbed.
Following that, Gerald sent Naomi home and Naomi’s mother cooked a nice supper for both of them. Gerald only left after having his second home-cooked meal from Naomi’s mother.
Sometime later, Yazmin asked her husband, “…Hubby? Is something the matter…?”
“It’s just strange, you know? I can’t seem to contact Thiago and the others at all! Also, earlier when I called the hospital, Sherry’s mother was apparently in the midst of transferring? By the time I got there to have a look for myself, she wasn’t even in the same ward anymore! What the hell is even going on…?” grumbled Yazmin’s husband with a frown.
“Well, maybe Thiago and the others are out having some fun! They probably muted their phones or something… As for Sherry, it wouldn’t surprise me if the hospital has finally kicked her out since she doesn’t have the cash to pay for all those medical expenses! I’ll call Thiago later as well to ask him about it… Though again, if you’ve already been trying to call him for some time, I truly believe that he’s just having too much fun to notice!” replied Yazmin.
“…That’s true. Fine then… Regardless, I’ve already gotten all my connections to check for that man’s background. It’s weird that they haven’t replied to me though… Whatever the case is, I’m still going to find the chance to show him how great I am tomorrow!” sneered her husband.
It was exactly at that moment when his phone began ringing many, many times. Several messages were—almost simultaneously—being sent to him, and Yazmin’s husband quickly picked up his still- vibrating phone.
Upon reading the text messages, a frown slowly formed on his face as he muttered, “…The hell is all this supposed to mean…?”
“What is it hubby…?” asked Yazmin in a gentle tone. As long as her husband could help get rid of Naomi for her, she didn’t have much else she wished for.
“…All these messages… They’re all saying the same thing…” replied Yazmin’s husband as he shook his head.
“…What is it?”
“Well, they all say, ‘good luck!’”
Chapter 1213
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1213 The very next day, Yazmin headed to school along with her husband.
Since Naomi had gotten a man to back her up the day before, Yazmin was definitely getting hers to help her as well. Yazmin was sure that the sight of her husband’s car alone would be enough to scare the life out of Naomi’s man! Humph!
Still, Yazmin would be lying if she said that those weird messages and Thiago’s disappearance the day before didn’t have her worried. Even after calling him and his men, none of them picked up, and none of them were at Sherry’s place either. Where could they be…?
Though Thiago and his men could get a bit wild while enjoying themselves, she also knew them to be very responsible men. It was near-impossible for them not to return her messages after completing their job.
Feeling odd about the entire situation, that was the second reason she was bringing her husband along. Whatever the case was, she knew Sherry’s background well so she probably wouldn’t be a problem for her.
It wasn’t long before they arrived in front of the school building. Since Yazmin’s husband was driving the newest BMW 7-series, a group of male students was instantly drawn to it.
“Holy cow! Is that Mrs. Yallop’s husband? Not only is he driving a BMW 7-series, but he’s also charming?!”
“D*mn! So her husband’s a rich heir! By the looks of it, his family must be super powerful too! Though with how luxuriously Mrs. Yallop always dresses, it isn’t too surprising that her husband isn’t an ordinary man!”
Still, in their high school days, it was common enough for male students to favor talking about games and cars.
Locking her arms around her husband’s, Yazmin then stood in front of the car for a brief moment, enjoying every second of how envious and adoring the students were of her and her husband.
After pretending to retrieve some things from the car, Yazmin saw a few of her colleagues coming to work and called out, “Well hello there, Mrs. Shaq! You’re early today! And the same goes for you as well, Mrs. Xanders!”
Seeing the smiling woman calling out to them, Mrs. Shaq then replied, “Good day to you too, Mrs. Shaq! Is that your husband! The car he’s driving looks pretty new! It must’ve been expensive!”
Though everyone looked enthusiastic to reply to Yazmin’s greeting, deep inside, they were all equally upset.
‘Why’s she even being all proud about that? So what if she has a rich husband and a nice car! Big deal! Still… Why is it that other people always have better lives… There’s no way we could ever compete with her!’ Thought several of her colleagues who were cursing her in their minds with utter jealousy.
As the female teachers continued putting on a cheery façade while talking with Yazmin, a few male colleagues of Yazmin’s showed up.
The moment they all saw the car, they were instantly impressed. One of them was so excited that he immediately said, “Holy! That’s a BMW 7-series! It’s the newest model in 2020 and it’s barely been a few days since it was released into the market! How cool!”
After they continued talking with Yazmin and her husband for a while, one of the female teachers finally found herself unable to hold back anymore as she asked, “When would you be free to take us out on a ride in the car, Mrs. Yallop?”
“Why, anytime, of course! Where would you like to go? My husband can be our driver!” replied Yazmin with a smile.
“Oh, how kind you are, Mrs. Yallop! I’ll be thanking you in advance then!”
“I’m just glad you finally realize how nice a person I am! While I know I can be hard to deal with sometimes, but I’m generally a very kind person to those close to me! It’s just the way my straightforward personality is! Unlike a very fake teacher of course! You know, the house she bought near our school spans a good hundred and fifty square feet! It’s quite obvious where she got the money to buy that house from, given her current financial status!” replied Yazmin.
“I don’t know… Maybe she just found a rich husband…?” said one of the male teachers.
“Hah! Her? Tell you what, I’ve checked the bursary record before and I’ve already seen what her husband looks like!” replied Yazmin.
“What? How does he look?”
Chapter 1214
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1214 “Saying that he looks below-average is an overstatement for him! With that in mind, how could he possibly be rich? He’s probably just some regular worker somewhere!”
Knowing that, Yazmin was beyond sure that such a person wouldn’t ever be able to compare with her husband.
Before any of her colleagues could even react, a group of students began screaming out of the blue! Some were even screaming so hard that they seemed close to fainting!
“…The hell?” muttered Yazmin as she and her other colleagues turned to look at the front gate to see what all the commotion was about.
The second they saw what the students were screaming about, however, the group of teachers immediately widened their eyes before cursing out loud in shock. Yazmin, in particular, seemed more flabbergasted than the rest, covering her mouth in astonishment.
“W-what a cool car!” shouted everyone in both shock and awe.
The ‘cool car’ they were referring to, was one that cost millions of dollars. In fact, it was arguably a hundred times cooler than a Lamborghini sports car! The car itself was now slowly driving from the school compound toward the main school building.
Not even caring about the school rules—which stated that students weren’t allowed to bring their phones to school—anymore, all of them immediately began snapping pictures of the expensive-looking car.
“I-It’s a Lambo! A million-dollar Lambo!” stuttered Yazmin’s husband as his jaw dropped.
“Whose car is that? Is it the husband of one of the teachers? Or perhaps one of the students’ fathers?” added one of the male teachers who was still shocked by the sight.
“If I’m correct, then that car right there is limited edition! There are less than a hundred cars for this model in our country, you know?” shouted a car expert from within the crowd.
With all this happening, Yazmin’s expression quickly turned sour. Naturally, this was because the spotlight on her husband’s BMW 7-series had now been stolen by that other car!
“…Since you know so many people, can’t you guess who the driver of that car is, hubby?” asked Yazmin.
Hearing that, the other female teachers instantly grew jealous again. After all, they knew better than to doubt how powerful Yazmin’s husband was.
“…Well, while I do know several wealthy businessmen in Mayberry, some regions are still beyond my reach… Regardless, once I see the driver’s face, I may know who he is! Bring me my name card, Yazmin!” replied her husband as he straightened his suit.
“Right away, hubby!” said Yazmin as she happily returned to his car to retrieve his name card.
Before she opened his car’s door, however, she made sure to look at her female colleagues before saying, “Businessmen are always like this, you know? It’s natural for them to want to exchange name cards with others, especially when the other party is an experienced director! After all, it could very well bring business to them, though I don’t expect any of you to understand!”
Naturally, this made the other female teachers upset.
Regardless, the car finally stopped moving when it parked right next to the BMW 7-series.
Everyone’s attention was now on the car, and both teachers and students alike held their breaths, eager to find out who the owner of the car was.
Shortly after, the car’s door was opened, and out stepped a young man with his right hand in his pocket. Simultaneously, the door opposite of the driver’s seat was also opened, and an extremely beautiful yet familiar-looking woman stepped out.
The moment Yazmin saw the duo who had just exited the car, the name card in her hand instantly fluttered to the ground. Her entire body now trembling, Yazmin felt as though her soul had just been crushed by an immense strike of lightning.
Her mind now completely blank, the current situation felt almost dream-like.
While Yazmin felt like she was about to faint, many of the other students and teachers were now screaming!
“Miss Naomi! It’s you!”
Chapter 1215
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1215 True to their words, the duo that had just descended the car truly were Gerald and Naomi.
Knowing that, Yazmin felt as though her entire world had just been flipped.
After all, she had assumed that since Naomi probably didn’t have anyone capable backing her up, her husband could easily get rid of her. While it was true that she had met Gerald yesterday, Yazmin simply thought he was some ordinary man who would suffer terribly by her hand today!
Never could she have imagined that he would be this filthy rich!
Now sweating profusely and genuinely unsure of what to even do next, her heart skipped a beat the moment she saw a police car driving into the school.
Though there had only been two police officers the day before, four of them stepped out of the car today.
Scanning the crowd, one of the officers glared at Yazmin before saying, “Good day, Miss Milton, and I see that Miss Yallop is here too! There’s been some progress on the case… Why don’t we discuss this in the principal’s office…?”
“F-fine by me…!” replied Yazmin, her gut telling her that something was insanely wrong.
Once they were in the office, the pressuring atmosphere there caused great discomfort to Yazmin. After all, everyone was now looking at her differently.
“…We’ve received new evidence about the theft, and after some digging, we found a new lead! Apparently, someone had been forcing a student to act on their behalf, and in extremely cruel ways too!” explained one of the officers to the principal.
“Thanks for your hard work, officers!”
Hearing that, Yazmin’s face turned even paler as her heart skipped a beat. Gulping, she turned to look at her husband, a clear sign that she was asking for his help.
However, the moment he took a step back, Yazmin finally realized where her feelings of insecurity were stemming from.
Yazmin’s husband knew for a fact that he couldn’t get involved any further into the matter. The young man who was currently standing before him… His background was definitely not a simple one, and with that in mind, her husband knew better than to challenge such a person.
He also knew that if he continued helping Yazmin, he wouldn’t be able to get away easily. Though he honestly wanted to just run out of the office at that moment, he was well aware that a few security guards were currently patrolling right outside the office’s door.
As he continued thinking about what he should do next, one of the officers took a warrant out and showed it to Yazmin.
“Miss Yallop, we suspect that you and your husband are involved in a crime! With that in mind, please follow us back to the station for further questioning!”
Utterly stunned to hear that, Yazmin’s husband immediately retorted, “T-this is none of my business! That woman was in charge of the entire thing! This doesn’t involve me at all!”
Following that, he immediately swung the office door open and attempted to escape! Naturally, he was instantly caught by one of the security guards who were still patrolling outside the office.
Upon hearing that, Yazmin instantly began shrieking in a frenzy before attempting to escape as well! She knew for a fact that if they were found guilty of the deed, then they wouldn’t be released for at least twenty years!
With that in mind, she managed to dash past the guards who were still busy pinning her husband down. None of them had expected her to run out as well!
By the time she arrived at the stairs, all the students who had seen her running for her life were utterly confused as to what was happening.
Before she could even take the first step down, however, she felt a jolt of electricity running down her spine!
Screaming from the impact of the thrown object, Yazmin crumbled to the floor and saw that she had been hit by an electric rod that was glowing blue!
“H-huh? Isn’t that Mrs. Yallop…?”
“My god! Why are they trying to capture her?!”
As the present students instantly covered their mouths while taking steps backward, Gerald himself jogged over to where Yazmin currently lay.
Seeing that the other officers were still a distance away, Gerald bent down and shocked her with the electric rod one more time before they arrived, sending the woman unconscious.
“If it wasn’t for our current location, I hope you know that I’d have torn you into a thousand pieces by now…!” growled Gerald as he tossed the rod to the side.
With his current temper, he wouldn’t truly be Gerald if he didn’t treat a cruel woman like Yazmin the same way he did to that woman in Lugaw City…
