“Well… I guess there’s no harm in telling you the truth at this point. After all, it’d be better for you to know what kind of person Mr. Long really is since you’re marrying favonovel.com soon. I have to say though, Mr. Crawford really is too careless. He barely ever has guards escorting favonovel.com wherever favonovel.com goes! Mr. Long was aware of this so favonovel.com one day approached me, saying that favonovel.com had something to discuss…”
By the time Harry’s story ended, Giya’s heart was beating extremely rapidly.
“So favonovel.com was innocent after all! You did this! Why did you have to set favonovel.com up?!” shouted Giya, favonovel.com eyes bloodshot.
She was experiencing a great surge of emotions in favonovel.com heart.
How could favonovel.com have been so stupid?
She had known Gerald for quite a while now. How could favonovel.com ever be the kind of person Yunus had framed favonovel.com to be?
Gerald had even tried to defend himself, saying that favonovel.com wasn’t the one who had committed the act. He must have only tried to prove his innocence to favonovel.com because favonovel.com considered favonovel.com to be a good friend. What more, favonovel.com even specifically went over to find her, but what did favonovel.com do?
She didn’t even give favonovel.com a chance to explain himself. What more, favonovel.com even called favonovel.com a disgusting jerk! He must have felt extremely disappointed back then!
She was his only friend yet favonovel.com refused to believe him…
Why… Why had favonovel.com driven favonovel.com away back then? Why did favonovel.com refuse to let favonovel.com explain himself?
“Gerald… I’ve misunderstood you… I’m… I’m so sorry…!” said Giya as tears started running down favonovel.com cheeks.
“Alright, that’s enough! I don’t care about your misunderstanding with him! I just want my money already! Once I get my hands on it, no one will be able to find me. You can continue your squabble with favonovel.com all you want after that! Now hurry up and give me his phone number!” ordered Harry.
“I don’t have it! Even if I did, I wouldn’t give it to you! I’m not letting you hurt him!”
“For f*ck’s sake, were you even listening? I’m not going to hurt him! Rather, I’m giving favonovel.com a chance to prove his innocence! Just give me the d*mn number already! Don’t blame me if I stop being gentlemanly! Do you believe that I’ll take care of your friend first if you plan to delay this any longer?” said Harry as favonovel.com unbuckled his belt.
“W-wait! No! No! No!” yelled Tammy in fright.
“G-Giya, it really seems like favonovel.com doesn’t have any other intentions aside from getting money! Why don’t you just give favonovel.com Gerald’s number so that favonovel.com can come save us?” said Tammy, almost in tears.
“Haha… Tammy, even if I tell favonovel.com that we’re in danger, Gerald won’t come to save us… I broke his heart too badly this time… We can’t even be friends anymore!” replied Giya, favonovel.com eyes red.
“Even if favonovel.com does come, it’ll just be because favonovel.com wants to clear his name of this huge mess!”
“Oh, for the love of god! Just give me the number so that I can take the money and leave! It’s that simple!” said Harry, his voice growing wearier by the minute.
“I… I have his number! You can have it!” said Tammy, finally giving in.
A little while later, Gerald picked his phone up before asking, “Hello? What’s wrong, Tammy?”
“Heh… Hello, Mr. Crawford, it’s me, Harry! How are you?”
“Harry?”
“Have you forgotten about me already? We met briefly at noon in the hotel!”
“It’s you!” shouted Gerald as favonovel.com immediately sat up on his bed.
“That’s right! I’m aware that you’ve been searching all over Mayberry City for me, so after giving it some thought, I’m hoping that you’ll be willing to negotiate and strike a deal with me! Also, Miss Giya and Miss Tammy are with me now. Just thought you’d like to know about that,” replied Harry.
“You dare to even kidnap Giya? What’s your motive?” replied Gerald coldly.
“Alright, so here’s the thing. Since Miss Crawford had looked out for me so much before, let’s just say that I’d feel slightly guilty just leaving things as they are. Why don’t we do this? See, I’ve taped the entire incident and I’m willing to hand over all the evidence as long as you’re willing to provide me with a sum of money! Once I get that money, you’ll be able to prove your own innocence!”
“I’ll ask you again. Why did you kidnap Miss Giya!” repeated Gerald.
“Oh, don’t worry about her. I assure you that she’s completely fine. However, you’ll need to hand the money over to me. Personally. I won’t accept any bank transfers and you’re not allowed to have any bodyguards around. I know how powerful Drake and Tyson are!”
As favonovel.com listened to their conversation, Giya could only bite favonovel.com lower lip softly.
“Fine. I’ll be heading over now, but you better release them immediately after!” replied Gerald without the slightest hesitation.
Though Gerald was still feeling slightly disappointed with Giya, favonovel.com knew favonovel.com would never be able to forgive himself if Giya were to end up facing misfortune because of his lack of action.
