    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. The


    rage in his eyes was no longer present.


    Since Gerald was still enraged earlier, Zayn had made the fatal mistake of touching him while he was


    still 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? And


    don’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 face


    filled 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 toward


    Haven and hid behind her.


    As Xareni stared at Gerald with fearful eyes from behind Haven, Haven herself said, “G-Gerald… I


    know what my father did was wrong… But he wasn’t in the right mind when he agreed with the n!


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


    go…”


    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 she


    was standing before him, she held the Book of Beasts out before saying with teary ears, “…Gerald… If


    you really have to kill my father just to relieve all your hatred, then please kill me instead… Once you’ve


    done that, I hope you’ll be willing to let my father and everyone else go… Though you’re not obligated


    to 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 had


    initially nned on killing off the rest of the Lovewells. After all, they were no better off than the


    Moldells at this point.


    However, he could see that Haven truly regarded him as a friend. After all, the girl had been extremely


    nervous earlier when she found out that he had been poisoned. Knowing that, Gerald couldn’t bear to


    break 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 jogged


    after 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 the


    room. 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 ck suits are here…”


    Haven herself—who was already at the door since she had seen Gerald out—was already staring at


    the 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 how


    wrong 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 probably


    already 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 standing


    at the door, she approached her before saying, “What a coincidence, Miss Haven! Your father should


    be rather free now, right? I n 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.


    Secondster, 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 girl


    slowly walk off into the distance.


    “The second youngdy seems to be in a bad mood today, Miss. I propose that we go visit Mr. Zander


    directly,” suggested the bodyguard standing beside Xavia.


    Seemingly ignoring her guard’sment, Xavia then muttered under her breath, “…No… She couldn’t


    have said his name… right? Haven… Were you truly muttering Gerald’s name…?”
