The Secretly Rich Man Chapter 1551-1560

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1551

The wooden carton itself appeared very tightly wrapped. Even so, the others could still see the faint outlines of a long-haired woman inside who was curled up into a ball.

“How perplexing! To think that Young Master Turnbull would actually be audacious enough to auction an actual woman!” growled the slightly angered Sia.

She wasn’t the only one either. While some of them may have preferred money and others power, many of the women there still had their limits, and they were simply unwilling to just accept the fact that one of their own was being auctioned off just like that!

Their anger and dissatisfaction were completely reasonable. After all, what else were they supposed to feel seeing a person of their gender being put on display to be sold like that?

Despite the majority of women being rightfully angered, some of them appeared to have different opinions. Namely, Fia, who found herself muttering, “What would you know? For rich young heirs, human rights being snatched away is nothing! Try looking at the situation from the perspective of Young Master Turnbull. After you give it some thought, I’m sure you’ll be able to see things from his point of view!”

Upon hearing that, Sia’s immediate response was to feel frightened by Fia’s outlook on life. Turning to look at her, Sia then said, “What? How could you say that, Fia? Can’t you see that he’s abusing and discriminating against women? Why are you still speaking up for him?”

While the others were having all sorts of thoughts about the situation, Gerald found himself silently staring at the messy-haired woman within the carton.

Baelfire, on the other hand, simply sneered, “I can see all your passionate gazes, men! Hahaha! Alright then, let’s not beat around the bush any longer! Unveil that woman for everyone to have a better look!”

Watching as Baelfire waved his hand, the four subordinates from before then began pulling the white veil off the carton… As the cage’s door was slowly opened, everyone found themselves staring at the woman inside it.

Sitting right in the middle of the cage, the woman had a snow-white long dress on, and she was hugging onto her knees with her fair and tender arms. Though she had buried her face between her knees, it was quite evident that she was weeping. Nobody knew if it was because she had lost all her energy, but her weeping was so light that only her beautiful shoulders occasionally quivered.

“Come now, raise your head and let the camera crew see you! Your face needs to be shown on the large screen!” shouted Baelfire.

Seeing that the woman wasn’t complying, one of Baelfire’s subordinates growled, “Hey, b*tch! Didn’t you hear Young Master Turnbull’s orders?!”

The woman could only wail in humiliation as her teary face was revealed to all when the same subordinate yanked her hair, forcing her to face the cameramen.

With how beautiful she was, the pitiful-looking woman instantly bewitched nearly every man who saw her. Even the women found themselves growing jealous of how beautiful she was.

As for the two women from before—who had earlier disembarked from the ghostly ship—both of them had been watching the entire scene play out from afar, and one of them was now glaring at Baelfire.

In a wrathful voice, the fierce-gazed woman growled, “That b*stard…! How dare he treat a woman like that?! I’m going to personally kill him!”

“I advise you to refrain from causing any trouble. Besides, it doesn’t appear that he’ll be living past tonight!”

“…Huh? What makes you say that, sister?” asked the angry woman rather curiously.

“Just have a look over there yourself!” replied the other woman as she nudged her chin over to a certain direction.

Seeing that, the angry woman turned to look in that direction… And there, she was immediately greeted by the sight of an extremely furious Gerald.

His entire body trembling almost uncontrollably, Gerald had been beyond enraged ever since he saw the caged woman’s face.

‘Giya…!’

He remembered bringing her to his family’s mansion back then to allow her injuries to heal… Regardless, Gerald had assumed that she had been captured by the other Crawfords as well since he couldn’t find her in the mansion back when he first found out that his family members had been kidnapped. Even so, it hadn’t occurred to Gerald that Giya, of all people,—whom he knew to be a fine, young woman with an astounding temperament—would end up suffering such abuse!

Now seething in rage, Gerald couldn’t help but stride forward before shouting, “Giya!”

‘What had she even done wrong? Nothing she could’ve done could have deserved this outcome! Why the hell had they abused her like this?!’

Whatever the case was, the second Giya heard that voice, her weakened body instantly began trembling wildly…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1552

‘…Could… I have heard wrong…? There’s just no way, right…?’ Giya thought to herself as she slowly looked around in disbelief, trying to find the source of that shout.

However, the second she saw him, she was so shocked that she felt that she was possibly still dreaming!

She wanted to say something, anything. But it felt like a lump in her throat was preventing her from saying a word…

As for Sia, she turned to look at Gerald—who was already walking toward the stage—before shouting in surprise, “Huh? You… Know that woman, Gerald?”

“Hah! I guess that loser was so entranced by her that he couldn’t help but walk over! From the looks of it, he doesn’t seem like the kind of person who has the money to buy her over through auctioning either!” scoffed Beau.

“Who exactly is he? How rude! If he ends up offending Young Master Turnbull, he’ll definitely end up dead soon! With that said, let’s keep our distance from him!” muttered Yosef with a frown.

Though Sia wanted to at least try to stop the agitated Gerald, he had already made it to the stage by that point.

While everyone was holding their breaths—unsure of what to even expect to happen—Giya was already in tears as she muttered, “…G-Gerald… Is… Is that really you…?”

“It is me! I’m so sorry that I’m late! I’m so sorry…!” shouted Gerald as he hugged her tight, his grief insurmountable.

“What’s the meaning of this, Young Master Turnbull?”

“Yeah! If you want that woman so much then purchase her first, you shabbily-dressed son of a b*tch! Actually, do you think he’s trying to snatch that beauty away?!”

Below stage, several of the rich young heirs were feeling extremely dissatisfied by Gerald’s actions.

“I must say, he truly is courting death! Now that I think about it, how did he even manage to board the main ship? Regardless, please remember not to admit to knowing him should Young Master Turnbull decide to interrogate us later!” grumbled Fia as she glared contemptuously at Gerald.

Amidst the chaos, Baelfire turned to look at Gerald before sneering, “Being a bit too impatient, aren’t we, sir? Just so you know, this chick’s starting price is seven million dollars! Please pay that amount first before you place your hands on her! Hahaha!”

Gerald, however, simply ignored him, opting instead to help Giya to her feet as he asked, “Are you the only one here? Where are the others?”

“They… your sisters and aunts… they were captured by those people… Following that, the Turnbulls contacted the group of villains and in the end, Baelfire purchased me! However, know that despite being repeatedly humiliated by him, I always tried to fight back the best that I could!” cried out Giya.

“I see… Not to worry, Giya. Everything’s fine now… Now let’s go!” replied Gerald as he patted her gently on her shoulders.

Getting her onto his back, he was just about to leave when Baelfire—who had already been annoyed by the fact that Gerald had ignored his earlier statement— furiously shouted, “Hey, now! Where the hell did you even come from, you b*stard? Are you treating me like I don’t exist? Are you even aware of whose territory you’re currently in?!”

Turning to look at him, Gerald then casually replied, “Look, Young Master Turnbull, I’d like to send my friend home first for her to properly recuperate. Worry not, once I’ve done that, I’ll be looking for you and your family next!”

The second Gerald’s sentence ended, a roar of laughter could be heard from almost everyone within the audience.

“Is that person a nutjob? Who does he even think he is?!”

Never imagining that a person would be dumb enough to look for trouble with the Turnbulls, everyone was already mocking Gerald with tears in their eyes as they laughed their lungs out.

Beau himself was flabbergasted as he declared, “He’s truly lost it! You’re absolutely right, Fia! We can’t ever claim to know him!”

Moving back to Baelfire, he laughed aloud before shouting, “I admit that you’re brave. However, do you really think that I’ll just stand here doing nothing while you escape with Giya?!”

As if on cue, seven men dressed in black garments then rushed onto the stage before swiftly surrounding Gerald!

“Since you refused to back down, you’ll just have to be beaten up before your corpse gets hacked into pieces!” growled Baelfire.

“With all due respect, Young Master Turnbull, my friend here is already weak enough as she is! I really need to rush back first to have her treated! Also, I’ve heard that your rich and powerful family has existed for dozens of generations in Yanam. With that said, I’ll give you half an hour to prepare yourself and let you have your final sense of ceremony. Again, worry not, for I’ll be back to deal with you in exactly thirty minutes!” replied Gerald with a frown.

“You…! You b*stard…! Who the hell do you think you are, spitting such nonsense here?! Also, what are all of you still standing there in a daze for? Beat him into a pulp already!” roared the infuriated Baelfire.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1553

With contemptuous glares on their faces, the seven men then began crouching, looking very much like vicious wolves that were planning to pounce onto Gerald!

Their stance was so terrifying that everyone else instantly held their breaths!

“Oh god, it looks like they’re positioning themselves to hack this insensible guy to pieces!”

“Humph! It’s his own fault for courting death! Still, I do wonder if he’s unaware of the power the Turnbulls have in Yanam. After all, he dared to offend Young Master Turnbull of all people! Whatever the case is, once he’s dealt with, his family members will surely be next!”

Though most of the people offstage were sneering at Gerald, Sia herself was feeling deeply anxious.

Turning to look to her side, she then pleaded, “Young Master Jenks! Fia! Hurry and figure out a way to save him! Use your families’ powers or something! He couldn’t help it he just wanted to save that woman…!”

However, both of them simply returned cold expressions to her.

“Sia, that’s quite enough! So what if that loser dies? Big deal! If you need a quick refresher, he’s simply a stranger whom we met by chance! With that said, what are you even being so anxious for?” grumbled Fia in resignation.

“But-”

Before Sia could even finish what she was trying to say, the seven men made their moves!

Looking both frightening and fierce, the men watched as Gerald—who was still tightly hugging Giya—slowly lifted his arm…

And with a simple wave of his hand, an explosive sound could be heard as multiple swords that glowed white suddenly appeared out of thin air!
