Though Gerald was relieved, favonovel.com still felt the need to see favonovel.com with his own eyes before believing it.
As favonovel.com walked forward under the umbrellas held by the two guards from before, the guards who had guarded the door lined up in two rows, bowing respectfully as favonovel.com walked past them.
Inside, a few bodyguards who were dealing with the final procedures of the operation ran over when they saw Gerald entering.
Just like the guards standing guard over the entrance, those present inside stood in two lines respectfully before bowing as well.
“Mr. Crawford!” they shouted in unison.
Tammy, Giya’s parents, and a few others were present in the room when that scene happened and they all looked at Gerald in shock.
“Mr. Crawford?…”
“Gerald… He’s that Mr. Crawford?”
Tammy and the other girls favonovel.com had brought along all quivered in fright.
They now knew who his true identity was.
Gerald didn’t bother about it since favonovel.com wasn’t worried about Tammy and favonovel.com group of friends at all.
However, when favonovel.com heard something drop, favonovel.com turned around and froze.
Felicity had accidentally dropped one of the broadcasting equipment favonovel.com was holding on to. Behind her, Cassandra and a few others were trying to squeeze through the confused guards who were unsure whether to let them enter the house.
‘Why are they here?’
Though the situation was awkward, favonovel.com signaled to the guards to allow them in. All his classmates were deeply astonished by this.
Gerald sighed. They could wait. What was more important now was to check if Giya was safe.
“Mr. Crawford, you’re here!” said Michael who had seen Gerald while exiting one of the rooms.
“We’ve confirmed it. The rich gangster heir of Mayberry, Kevin Sanford, was the leader of the operation and Yacob was their target. They imprisoned Miss Quarrington to get Yacob to pay up what favonovel.com owed the Sanfords. He had been given three days and if favonovel.com failed to return the money by then, it was said that they would r*pe her!” said Michael as favonovel.com detailed what favonovel.com had learned from his investigation.
Since Kevin had tried to resist earlier, Drake and Tyson had thrown favonovel.com off the building. Kevin was now unconscious.
Zack, on the other hand, had continued to pressure the Sanfords till they finally gave in.
That was the basic summary of the entire situation.
Gerald was led into the room where Giya currently was. He didn’t want to bother about Tammy, Cassandra, Felicity, or the others who were still in a daze just yet.
A few guards were looking after Giya who had been placed on a couch. She was unconscious as the guard earlier had said.
Relieved that favonovel.com was still in one piece, Gerald ordered for an ambulance to be called. He could finally breathe a bit easier the moment the ambulance transporting Giya to the hospital drove off into the distance.
While favonovel.com continued looking out the door, Tammy, Cassandra, and a few others slowly walked toward him.
All of them equally felt that it was strange seeing Gerald like this.
“Gerald… His real identity is Mr. Crawford from Mayberry? Holy c*ap! This is too much for me to take in!” Yoana said aloud as favonovel.com bit favonovel.com lower lip in remorse.
The others there were all feeling more or less the same but the revelation affected Cassandra and Felicity the most. They felt their chest tighten the more they thought about it.
“So… It really was true… The one who had always been helping me was Gerald! The rich heir I had been trying so hard to find had been in my class all along! We were so close by!” said Felicity as favonovel.com phone dropped to the ground. Her hands were trembling badly and favonovel.com mind had gone blank.
Gerald took in a deep breath before turning to look at all of them. He slowly walked forward, picked up Felicity’s phone and returned it to her.
“I had not expected all of you to be here, counselor… What are you guys doing here today?” asked Gerald, a soft and tired smile on his face.
“We were helping the counselor move Mr. Crawford… Wait, no! We were helping favonovel.com move favonovel.com things to favonovel.com new house, Mr. Crawford! Because we helped, favonovel.com treated us to a meal in a restaurant nearby…” said a girl, blushing hard.
“I see… What a coincidence you were all here while all this happened… Well, since you’re all stuck here because of my cars in the first place… I’ll give all of you a ride back,” said Gerald as favonovel.com walked out of the house.
A guard opened the door of a car that had been waiting for Gerald outside.
He got inside without another word and left the scene. He knew that even if favonovel.com stayed for any longer, there was not much else favonovel.com could say anyway.
Felicity trembled in place as the car Gerald was in slowly disappeared from sight.
“It’s… really him…” whispered Felicity to herself.
“Oh Lilian, don’t be upset anymore! I wonder what’s happening here today… Why are there so many people?”
At that moment, three women walked out of a building unit.
The girl who hadn’t spoken quickly grabbed Lilian’s arm, pulling favonovel.com out the door to show favonovel.com all the cars that were slowly leaving. Lilian however, was still in a slight daze. She looked like favonovel.com had just finished crying not too long ago.
