    Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2264


    Though it had already been raining for ages, the rain only seemed to get heavier as the duo got into


    their car. Since Yanam soldiers were still patrolling the area, the second they saw Gerald and Aiden


    leaving, one of them immediately reported the situation to their superior.


    Meanwhile, Carter was sleeping soundly within the leader’s lounge. After learning that Gerald wasn’t


    here to cause chaos, Carter had been so relieved that he had invited several executives to drink with


    him the night before, which exined why he was in such afortable slumber.


    However, the snoring man was abruptly awoken when his butler burst through the door, gently shaking


    Carter’s sleeping body as he eximed, “B-bad news, Captain…!”


    Annoyed that he was suddenly awoken, Carter then yelled, “Get lost!”


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Captain! Gerald and that special forces soldier from Weston have just left the hotel! Should we send


    our men over to keep an eye on them?” replied the butler who wasn’t intimidated in the least.


    Under normal circumstances, the butler would’ve surely sent people after the duo without even needing


    to ask for Carter’s permission. However, since Carter apparently had his own ways of dealing with


    Gerald, the butler refrained since he was worried that sending their men to tail Gerald would eventually


    ruin everything.


    “Let’s just talk about it once I’m up…! With that said, if you don’t get lost now, you’re in for a world of


    trouble …!” growled Carter. Since he wasn’t fully sober yet, he hadn’t really heard what his butler had


    said. To him, everything was simply gibberish.


    “With all due respect, captain! Gerald and his ally have left the hotel…!” replied the butler who had no


    choice but to raise his voice a little.


    “Are you courting death?!” roared Carter as he fished for his pistol that was by his bed before aiming it


    at the butler!


    “I-I’ll leave immediately…!” cried out the butler before rushing out of the room. While he knew that the


    half awake Carter hadn’t gotten the message, the butler wasn’t about to risk his life just to get his point


    across.


    Knowing that he had sessfully gotten rid of the loud butler, Carter then tossed his pistol onto the


    floor before lying in bed again. It wasn’t long before his snoring resumed.


    Back on Gerald’s side, he and Aiden continued speeding toward the Grubb family’s manor. Though the


    wipers were doing their best to clear the windscreen, the rain was absolutely horrendous. Not wanting


    to risk crashing the vehicle since he could barely see the road by this point, Gerald had no choice but


    to slow the car down.


    Staring at the onught of rain outside his window, Aiden was prompted to ask, “Do you think Miss


    Lawrence is in danger, Gerald…?”


    “You know I can’t answer that,” replied Gerald as he focused on the road. Honestly, had it not been a


    mission to save his friend’s love interest, Gerald wouldn’t even have considered driving in this weather.


    “I see… Still, since we’ve gotten rid of Prey, she should be fine if she’s currently with the Grubbs. After


    all, aside from being her father’s good friend, Lucian is also Miss Lawrence’s godfather. With that in


    mind, I really hope that she’s there and that her phone is just broken or she just hasn’t been looking at


    it…” muttered Aiden.


    “That would be for the best,” replied Gerald with a shrug.
