The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 914

After saying that, Gerald patted Stella on her shoulder before nodding toward the driver.

Seeing that, the driver immediately started driving off the moment Gerald closed the car's door.

When Stella turned to look at Gerald through the car's rear window, a flash of lightning lit the sky behind him. Though he had barely moved from the spot he was standing in earlier, Stella felt a chill run down her spine as she saw the expression on his face for that split second when the lightning had struck.

It was at that moment when Stella knew that he was no longer the Gerald she once knew. This new Gerald was terrifying.

As he slowly disappeared from her view, roars of thunder could be heard, dark clouds completely covering the night sky. Torrential rains soon followed alongside massive gusts of strong wind.

With the storm already here, Gerald himself began making his next move...

Back at the Schuyler family mansion, several representatives from both the Long and Moldell family were now watching as Noah scolded his son.

"How the hell have all of them managed to escape?! Not only did you fail to catch the culprits involved with the fire, but now we've lost our hostages too?!" roared Noah in anger.

"While we were hot on Jasmine and her group's trail earlier, they somehow managed to slip away when they ran into the forested area! Worry not, however! I'll definitely catch them sooner or later, dad!" replied Yael as he wiped the cold rain off his face.

"Humph! You've messed up big time tonight, Yael! How am I supposed to feel confident letting you inherit such a large property in the future now?!" added Noah in his rage.

Throughout his long life, this was the first time he had ever been humiliated this deeply by someone, so it was no wonder why he was feeling so embarrassed.

"Don't blame Master Yael anymore, Mr. Schuyler. It's evident that the Fendersons secretly received help from others this time around. Regardless, Jasmine and the others escaping doesn't really affect us. Afte all, we already have full control over Bryson. Let's just focus on increasing our manpower there. No matter how capable our invisible enemy is, we're certain that they won't be able to create any further messes," said a few members of both the Long and Moldell family as they stepped forward.

Hearing that, Noah calmed down slightly before nodding.

"... You're right. Since both your families are helping us with this, I trust that things will still go fine. As you said, the captives making their escape doesn't really affect the plan as a whole. Let's just let that incident slide for now... Yes... Come! I'm sure all of you haven't had enough wine earlier! Let's drink as we chat the night away about our great success to come! Servants! Prepare more wine and dishes right this instant!" ordered Noah.

As one of the servants instantly ran over to fill Noah's wine glass, he accidentally upset its contents all over Noah's lap!

What followed was a tight slap to the servant's face!

"F*cking hell! Do you have a death wish?!" roared Noah who was already in a bad mood.

"I-I'm sorry master! I'm so sorry!"

"This is so f*cking annoying... Where's my wife anyway? She was here just moments ago, wasn't she? Go call her over and tell her to make a toast! After all, there are so many distinguished guests here today!" grumbled Noah as he shook his head.

Cupping his swollen cheek, the servant quickly ran out of the room to call Noah's wife over.

As soon as he was far enough, however, he turned back to face the room before spitting.

"You old b*stard! You'll definitely die a horrible death one day! Haley, go call for his wife!" shouted the servant as he continued glaring at the door to the conference room.

Though he knew for a fact that Haley—a female servant-was among a few other servants who were posted at this specific corridor, no reply returned. Turning around, he then shouted the order again, though the only reply he got was a tremendously loud rumble of thunder.

The intensity of the thunder made him shiver in place.

"... What on earth...? Where are the other servants? Actually, where is everyone?" said the servant, baffled by how eerily empty the entire place was.

At that moment, the light in the yard flickered once before everything outside went dark.

Seeing this, the servant began walking toward the manor's entrance in confusion as he said, "D*mn it all... Where the hell are all the bodyguards? Were they all struck by lightning or something?"

Just as he opened the mansion's front door, a flash of lightning lit the entire yard. It was at that moment when the servant finally realized why the entire mansion was empty.

A scream of pure terror followed shortly after.
