Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 782
It was obvious that Xara clearly had more power compared to Jasmine’s father back then.
Even if Xara’s assets were to be equally distributed among the affiliated families now, it wouldn’t be as simple as
the families being able to gain equal footing with the Fendersons anymore.
This was probably what Noah and Yael had intended for to happen this entire time.
“You can all continue to dream on…” replied Jasmine angrily.
“Step aside for the moment, Jasmine. You don’t need to get involved in this!” said Bryson, a gloomy expression on
his face.
Not daring to go against her grandfather’s words, she immediately stood aside.
Bryson then personally began negotiating with Noah.
While this was happening, Mindy suddenly began shouting, “Jasmine! Over here!”
Frowning, Jasmine then walked over to Mindy before realizing who else was with her. To her surprise, Gerald was

“Why are you here?”
“Let’s not bother about him for the moment. More importantly, what on earth is going on here? Are the affiliate
families trying to rebel against us?” asked Mindy as she hurriedly held on to Jasmine’s hand.
Jasmine simply nodded before saying, “Grandpa’s already told me to keep an eye on the Schuyler family once the
birthday banquet is over. After all, the Schuylers have been conspiring against us for many years now…”
After pausing for a moment to look at Gerald, she then continued, “They’re getting bolder by the year… To think
that he would actually cause a scene during grandpa’s birthday banquet! No wonder he dared to make demands
when he came looking for grandpa this morning!”
“Huh? What kind of demands? Oh wait, it must’ve been a proposal for you and Yael to get married, right?” asked
Mindy.
In response, Jasmine gave a simple nod.
“Pfft! Is he really aspiring for something that he’s clearly not even worthy of? Grandpa must’ve immediately
rejected his proposal, right? How did grandpa turn him down anyway for him to get so much courage? He seems
really desperate!”
“I… Well… He accepted the rejection once he found out that I was bound to a marriage contract which had been
made from when I was still a child!” replied Jasmine in a soft voice as her face began blushing slightly.
“…Huh? What? With whom? Why haven’t I heard of this before?”
“Just! Forget it for now! I don’t want to talk about this anymore!” replied Jasmine as she shook her head.
To take her mind off things, she focused on the scene unfolding between Noah and her grandfather.
“I’ll be honest with you, Lord Fenderson. I’ve already been very lenient and merciful toward you. As long as you’re
willing to give us the compensation we rightfully deserve, we’ll definitely continue following the Fendersons with all
our hearts in future. After all, it isn’t really necessary for me to expose everything here, am I not right?” said Noah
as he sneered.
Bryson immediately knit his brows tightly together when he heard that.
Bryson finally understood why Noah had a sudden change in character back when Noah had told him that he had
managed to locate Xara’s daughter. To think that Bryson had initially thought that Noah had finally turned over a
new leaf!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was all just part of his grand scheme!
Bryson was now in this mess because he had fallen for Bryson’s trickery. He had been careless due to his love for
his daughter.
However, at the end of the day, the older a person was, the wiser he tended to be. Bryson had no doubt taken
extra precautionary and security measures in case he ever had to deal with such a situation.
“Hahaha! I have no idea what you’re hinting at, Noah! While it is true that I’ve found Xenia, I only brought her back
to interrogate her about Xara’s whereabouts. Sadly, Xenia doesn’t know anything at all! I simply took her in since I
couldn’t bear the thought of leaving her to wander outside alone. Now that I’ve made myself clear, what else do
you wish to talk about?” replied Bryson calmly.
“Is that so? Hahaha! I really admire you, Lord Fenderson! However, that doesn’t explain the beautiful girl in the car
who was trying to leave the villa this morning! It was such a coincidence too that my subordinates had managed to
catch a glimpse of her, subsequently preventing her from leaving! Mr. Lambert and Mr. Wellington, do you wish to
know how beautiful that girl truly is? Why, she’s so beautiful that she looks exactly like Xara! If you don’t believe
me, I can order my subordinates to bring her over right now!” said Noah as he laughed.
“…You… you took Queta away?” asked Bryson, finally losing his cool as his body began trembling uncontrollably.
“So her name is Queta! She refused to say a word to me when I asked her for it! Regardless, everyone else will now
have their chance to question her! Being her in, men!” yelled Noah.
