[Chapter 135]
Nigel!
As Gerald zoomed into the screen and fiddled about for a bit, the person shown in the picture was none other than Nigel from the Fisher family. No matter how much Nigel tried to disguise himself, he would never be able to fool Gerald because of the smile that he always had on his face.
From the start, Nigel was the trigger and the direct cause of Gerald and Xavia's breakup.
Moreover, when they went over to the Emperor Karaoke Bar after Naomi's birthday party, Nigel has also been keeping tabs on him. Out of anger, Gerald called Zack for help, to teach Nigel a lesson.
The moment his sister found out about this matter, she simply did not just teach Nigel a lesson. Instead, she made the entire Fisher family go bankrupt.
At last, Nigel was taken away at the entrance of the Mountain Wayfair Entertainment.
Ever since that day, the Fisher family was completely destroyed. They had to hand the Grand Marshall Restaurant over and the restaurant was now managed by the Ziegler family instead.
Just like that overnight, Nigel turned from a rich second generation into a pauper.
In addition to that, he already turned out this way before he even knew what was happening.
But now…why was Nigel kidnapping Mila?
Gerald was baffled.
Was he simply kidnapping her to blackmail them for a sum of money?
However, when he looked at the situation, it did not seem that way.
He had obviously told Mila something and he finally convinced Mila before she agreed to get into his car.
Gerald also noticed another detail.
When Nigel was talking to Mila, his eyes were constantly looking towards the direction of the moat where he had been.
It was as though he knew and was worried that Gerald would suddenly come back.
Did this mean that Nigel had already been planning this for a long time? Was he kidnapping Mila because of him?
If Nigel found out later on that his family was completely ruined because of him, then it would certainly make sense for Nigel to retaliate against him.
No matter what it was, what Gerald was most certain of was that Mila was in danger. Extreme danger!
Gerald thought hard about the countermeasures.
At that very instant, Gerald's cell phone suddenly rang.
It was from an unknown number.
"Hehehe. Gerald. Oh wait, that's not right. I should call you Mr. Crawford instead. Do you remember me?"
An indifferent and arrogant voice crackled through from the other end of the call.
"Nigel, it is really you!"
Gerald immediately recognized the voice as soon as he heard it.
"That's right. How unexpectedly, a big shot like you would actually remember someone like me. Hahaha. This feels like a drama indeed. Gerald, back then, everyone simply thought that you were nothing but a pauper. But what? You are actually the wealthy and influential young master who owns the entire Mayberry Commercial Street? I used to think that my dad was really bullish but he was just working for you all along! If it wasn't for me who heard Zack secretly making a phone call to you when I was planning to retaliate against him, I would never have imagined that you were the one who destroyed my family with just one phone call!"
"But, Mr. Crawford, why do you have to hold it against me when you are already so rich and powerful? Yes, I was the one who asked Yuri to snatch your girlfriend from you. It was wrong of me. But then, you destroyed my family and you left me with nothing at all! Don't you think you were being too cruel?"
Hearing this, Gerald replied, "You know I did feel that I was being a little too cruel and heartless at that time, but now I do not think so anymore!"
"Nigel, whatever it is, this is between the both of us. Mila is innocent. Let her go. I'll come to you wherever you are now and I'll agree to any of your terms or conditions!"
"Hehe. Gerald, you are really a pompous ass! You were my main target. I originally planned to hit you with my car so that the both of us can die together! On a second thought, it felt too boring. What more, I have such a beautiful young woman next to me right now. This is really worth it! So Gerald, she's your girlfriend? Do you want to listen to her voice now?"
"Gerald, you must not come here! He is a lunatic!"
"Don't come! Sob…sob…"
Mila cried and yelled over the phone.
Gerald grew extremely anxious.
Although he was simply pretending to be Mila's boyfriend, Mila was still out with him today.
The reason why Nigel kidnapped Mila was because he wanted revenge on him.
Everything was all because of him.
"Gerald, if you want to save your girlfriend, then you should come and see me at the unfinished building in the south of the city.
Do not contact Zack. It will be useless anyway. If anyone else comes, then I will just perish with your girlfriend! Come and see me within an hour!"
"Du…du…du…"
Nigel hung up as soon as he was done speaking.
Gerald grew pale.
It seemed as though he had guessed everything correctly. His identity had been leaked and he had attracted Nigel's attention.
And look where this brought him, Nigel who was already mentally unsound is now launching a revenge against him.
Gerald was certain that this guy would be capable of doing anything now.
Looking at the situation, it wouldn't be enough to rely on his own strength to resolve this matter.
He had to look for Zack so that he could help him to come up with a solution.
Gerald quickly called Zack and filled him in. Zack took this matter very seriously.
