Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2315

“He said that I’d fall into his grasp within the next few days, so what else could that imply?” replied Gerald, honestly

amused by how confident Maddox had sounded.

“Well, that pretty much confirms it. All the things you learned that night pretty much pointed to him being the

culprit anyway. Either way, what’s the next step? With how confident he seems with his plan, you should really

refrain from acting rashly…” muttered Lucian in a worried tone.

“I’ll just wait for him to tell me the news,” replied Gerald as he looked out the window.

It was nearing midnight when they finally got back to the manor. The second they got out of the car, Aiden

immediately rushed out, yelling, “Gerald!”

The butler who had two umbrellas in hand soon ran out as well, calling out, “Master!”

Upon standing before Gerald, Aiden immediately added, “Why didn’t you tell me you left? I could’ve followed to

give extra protection!”

“While I appreciate the thought, you’d probably end up needing my protection instead,” replied Gerald with a

chuckle as he patted Aiden’s shoulder.

“Heavy rain is apparently going to persist for another week, master. With that said, I’ve already prepared some

thick clothes for all of you. That way, you won’t get too cold during the auction,” said the butler as he handed an

umbrella to Gerald before raising the other above Lucian’s head.

“Let it rain. It’s rare to get such long periods of heavy rain anyway,” replied Lucian.

“Indeed. Regardless, did Maddox make things difficult for both of you…?” asked the butler as the group began

walking back into the manor.

“Not too much, though he did have several men lying in wait…” muttered Lucian who couldn’t help but shiver at the

thought.

“I assume he did so out of worry that his guests would find themselves in danger,” replied the butler who lacked the

context that Gerald and Lucian had.

“I suppose you’re right,” said Gerald, ending the conversation.

Since it was already past midnight by the time they entered the manor, Lucian chose not to say much and simply

returned to his room guided by his butler to rest. The party had given him enough scares for one night.

Gerald himself returned to his guestroom, followed by Aiden. Hanging his coat in the closet-and seeing that Aiden

had no intentions of leaving, Gerald was prompted to ask, “Not planning to get some rest?”

“I already took a nap in the afternoon, so I’ve had plenty of rest. Regardless… Did you manage to gather any clues

while you were there?” asked Aiden as he shook his head before pulling a chair out for Gerald to sit on.

“What clues are you hoping for?” replied Gerald as he poured himself a glass of water.

“Clues regarding Miss Lawrence, of course!” said Aiden.

“I guess I did manage to gather something.”

“Go on…” muttered the anxious Aiden.

“Well, it’s confirmed that Lindsay has been captured by him,” replied Gerald as he gestured for Aiden to sit beside

him.

After taking a seat, Aiden waited patiently for Gerald to continue… However, the youth showed no signs of having

anything else to say. With that, Aiden eventually asked, “… Is that it? What about whether Lindsay is being

imprisoned back in that forested area?”

“And how would I learn about that?” replied Gerald as he rolled his eyes.

“… Huh? Then… What should we do…?” muttered Aiden in a disheartened tone. It was clear that he had expected

Gerald to bring more news back.
