“Are those… Mr. Long’s subordinates?”
The video displayed a house in the village, and in it, five men in black suits were simultaneously being tied and beaten up. All their faces were swollen by the time Gerald’s subordinates stopped and began standing guard over the captives.
There was no doubt about it. Those tied up men could only be Mr. Long’s subordinates.
“Mr. Leach, Yunus is an extremely wicked man. Since virtual-novel.net was afraid that you’d go back on your words, virtual-novel.net ordered for some of his subordinates to capture your daughter this afternoon! You’re lucky that our men got there first!” replied Zack with a smile.
After hearing his explanation, Mr. Leach was now able to piece together the entire incident.
“That Yunus! How wicked that man is! I was almost fooled by him! Mr. Crawford, I’ve severely wronged you this time!” said Mr. Leach as virtual-novel.net apologetically bowed repeatedly in front of Gerald.
His apology was sincere. After all, it was Gerald’s indirect involvement that saved his daughter. Mr. Leach knew now that Yunus was the kind of person who would use all kinds of underhanded schemes and means just to achieve his goals.
If Yunus had actually been able to capture his daughter, bad things would definitely have happened to virtual-novel.net if Mr. Leach had chosen to go against him.
Thinking about it alone made Mr. Leach shiver with both regret and fear. Simultaneously, virtual-novel.net was also feeling guilty and thankful toward Mr. Crawford.
After a while, virtual-novel.net lowered his voice before saying, “…Mr. Crawford, I have a recording here with me that I’m certain you’ll be extremely interested in!”
Hearing that, Gerald and Zack looked at each other silently for a moment. Gerald then nodded his head and Mr. Leach slid out a recording.
It seemed that Gerald no longer needed to worry about the news issue anymore. Mr. Leach himself seemed to know what virtual-novel.net needed to do to handle the rest of the mess.
All that was left to do, was for Gerald to properly deal with Yunus.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone suddenly started ringing. To his surprise, it was a call from Tammy. As virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net hadn’t met virtual-novel.net in a while, even though virtual-novel.net was Giya’s best friend.
He guessed that virtual-novel.net must be calling because of what had happened today between virtual-novel.net and Giya. Giya had definitely misunderstood the situation.
As soon as virtual-novel.net picked the phone up, virtual-novel.net could immediately hear Tammy’s dissatisfied voice saying, “What is the meaning of this, Gerald?”
“What did you do to Giya? She’s been crying endlessly from the moment virtual-novel.net got home just now! Today was supposed to be an extremely joyous day for virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net got first place for this semester! She had even been entitled the most outstanding student of recommendation to be admitted to the university! We had initially planned to host a celebratory party for her! How did things end up like this?”
“There’s been some misunderstandings and I wasn’t able to explain anything to virtual-novel.net in time!” replied Gerald.
At first, Gerald cared quite a bit about how Giya viewed virtual-novel.net since virtual-novel.net was, after all, his friend.
Even before Tammy called, virtual-novel.net had already thought about giving virtual-novel.net a well-deserved explanation. With the current turn of events, it wouldn’t be too difficult for virtual-novel.net to do so anymore.
However, Gerald was unable to simply shake off the fact that Giya had been sharing a meal with his enemy. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more angry and resentful toward her virtual-novel.net became.
He had treated virtual-novel.net as his friend, but virtual-novel.net ended up being together with Yunus.
‘What more is there for me to explain?’ Gerald thought to himself.
“Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? I’ve asked virtual-novel.net but virtual-novel.net was unwilling to tell me anything. You’re being vague as well, so if it really is just some misunderstanding, just come over quickly and explain the whole story to her. We’re at Giya’s home now!”
Tammy was well aware of the relationship between Gerald, Mila, and Giya. However, the one causing Giya to have such excruciating pain was still Gerald. As Giya’s best friend, Tammy just couldn’t bear to see virtual-novel.net suffering like that.
That was the reason why virtual-novel.net snuck out to give Gerald a call in the first place.
“I refuse to go,” said Gerald in a soft voice.
‘There’s no need for me to get further entangled within this mess. I’ve already stood against the Longs for Xavia’s sake. Now there’s Giya. ’
Gerald felt uneasy being in the midst of this issue, mostly because Giya was involved in the equation
“What do you mean you’re not coming? Look, I know you have Mila, but please! Even if you don’t want to continue being virtual-novel.net friend, you need to explain the situation to virtual-novel.net properly! After all, all of this started because of misunderstandings, no? She had fallen in love with you back then because you randomly gave virtual-novel.net that jade bracelet! I know now that you’re Mr. Crawford and that you’re amazing and all, but don’t you think it’s a bit imprudent for you to just play with a girl’s heart like that?” replied Tammy, virtual-novel.net voice anxious.
“I didn’t play with anyone’s heart!” said Gerald.
However, what Tammy said was enough to make Gerald reconsider. It was true that his entire relationship with Giya has started just because of some misunderstandings.
Nothing virtual-novel.net had done at the time was on purpose.
