The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 784

So that's why Aunt Fenderson had treated her so dearly before this! Was she truly the mother she had been looking for this entire time?

A cocktail of complicated emotions was now brewing in Queta's heart. She didn't even know whether she should refer to her as her aunt or mother anymore!

"It all makes sense now! No wonder we couldn't find any clues about my aunt, even after investigating for so long!" said Jasmine.

"Hey now, this isn't exactly a family reunion, you know? Since you've finally decided to show yourself, shouldn't you give us a proper explanation for everything that happened back then, Xara? After all, we've been searching for you for a good twenty years now and we've already wasted enough time and resources just to find you!" replied Noah coldly.

"I'm well aware of what you're up to, Noah Schuyler. There's no need for you to continue blackmailing the Fenderson family. I'll say it loud and clear now. The assets and properties I've been holding on to will never go to you or any of the other affiliated families! And since you've been trying so hard to find me, here I am now! I can leave with the rest of you and you can do whatever you want to me then! I'm completely at your disposal!" said Xara aloud.

Hearing this, Noah was so enraged that he looked like he was ready to explode at any moment.

To think that even after pursuing her for so long and setting everything up to be in his favor, her sudden reappearance after twenty years had completely ruined all of his plans! Things would've gone perfectly if only she hadn't made her appearance today!

Now, even if they killed her, they would never be able to get their hands on any of the assets. What even was the point of him doing all that hard work and planning before this?

There was even a time when he had planned to put her under house arrest once he found her! However, he simply couldn't locate her no matter how much he searched!

Thinking about it, she behaved just like a ticking time bomb. To think that the bomb would explode during such a critical moment!

Noah and the others were at a complete loss of what to even do next.

"...If you think you're getting away scot-free after all you've done, you can dream on! Men! Take her away with us, right this instant!" yelled one of the many heads of the other affiliated families in both rage and humiliation.

Just as Bryson was about to stop them, a butler with a very anxious expression on his face came running toward him. In between pants, the butler then said, "L-Lord Fenderson, someone's sent you a birthday gift outside! The gift itself looks to be near priceless!"

"What? Who sent it?" said Bryson as he looked at the terrified butler.

Everyone whom Bryson had invited should have already arrived by now.

Bryson knew how powerful each of the families under him were. As far as he knew, none of them could afford to give him such an invaluable gift, or at least that was what he assumed from the way his butler had described it.

However, he had reason to be curious since his butler wouldn't have been this shocked if it was just an ordinary gift.

Gulping, the butler then said, "The person in question said that he was a friend of yours from the Crawford family from Northbay!"

"L

.What? The Crawfords from Northbay you said?"

Bryson was now quivering so much that his walking cane soon fell to the floor.

Everyone else present was equally as shocked.

Both the Fendersons and all their affiliated families knew the Crawfords from Northbay well. After all, not only were the Crawfords living there extremely influential and powerful, they were also the ones who had struck fear among the Fendersons for decades.

To put simply, they were a terrifying family.

Everyone there was naturally aware of the grievances between the Crawfords and the Fendersons.

Jasmine herself quickly walked over to her grandfather's side.

The Crawfords had been the ones who had caused her parents' death. Was she finally going to be able to see who the mysterious enemy was?

Noah, on the other hand, had gone deathly pale. He was now sure that he had definitely tried to stir trouble at the wrong time. Now that even the Crawfords were here, nothing he had said would matter anymore.

After all, while all of them would usually declare that the Crawfords were their enemy, most of them only said it for the sake of it. Who among them would actually have the audacity or even courage to go up against the Crawfords?

Even if it was true that the Crawfords were the ones who had caused them to lose so many of their relatives and family members back then, Noah and the other affiliate heads would never dare to even say a single word before such a powerful family.

Meanwhile, Gerald himself was feeling dumbfounded as he continued watching the scene unfold from the side-lines.

Someone from his family was coming?

While it was true that he had informed his subordinates about the location of the Fenderson family's mansion, he hadn't really expected for any of them to make their appearance here, especially not under the guise of the Crawfords from Northbay.

If it wasn't them, who could it be?

As Gerald's curiosity continued to grow, the butler then said, "Indeed! The person in question is the young master of the Crawfords from Northbay, Mr. Crawford himself!"
