Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 751
Gerald gave her his word instantly.
He knew that the Fenderson family was still out looking for Xara. He of course, was no fool and did not wish to
create unnecessary trouble for himself.
But, at the same time, Gerald was pretty curious about what happened between Xara and her own family all those
years ago.
He wanted to know in what way he was related to Queta.
Realizing that Gerald was asking her about it, Xara became quite frank, and she started spilling out the truth
without holding back.
Turns out it’s something along the lines of this.
Peter Crawford, who Xara mentioned, was the second young master from the Crawford family back then. He was
young and handsome. He was also Queta’s father.
‘Through logical deduction, the man named Peter should be my uncle who my dad talked about when I was young.’
‘Back then, he’d always tell me that my uncle was working out of town, so he rarely visited home.’
‘No wonder there was a sense of familiarity when I met Queta for the first time.’

But clearly, the grudge between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family was not that simple.
From what Xara said, it sounded like the Crawford family wanted to obtain something from the Fenderson family,
which is supposedly why the grudge between them still exists after so many years.
Twenty years ago, the Crawford family sent Peter over as a spy in order to approach the Fenderson family and gain
the object that they wanted.
Xara wore a sweet smile when she started describing that part.
She was as lovely as a flower and devastatingly beautiful two decades ago. She was also the president of a large
listed corporation under the Fenderson family. She was certainly a strong and independent woman.
And Peter had to invest much effort, just to approach Xara.
Firstly, he entered the marketing department of the company.
After that, he was appointed the general manager of the company because of how extremely capable he was.
In two years’ time, he grew very close to Xara.
Peter was dashingly handsome. His working capabilities were extremely strong too. These were the two probable
factors that made Xara fall for him.
But the Fenderson family had strict family rules. From time to time, Xara would feel a spark of love between them,
but due to said rules, she quickly erased these feelings and denied their existence.
That was until a later incident.
After the company’s annual party, Xara was driving home alone.
On her way home, she was ambushed by her business rivals. There were around twenty people who surrounded
Xara’s car, and they wanted to kidnap her.
Luckily, Peter rushed to her rescue in the nick of time. Not only was he smart when it came to work, but he also had
a great EQ as well. To add to that, he was extremely proficient in martial arts.
Despite sustaining injuries, he still managed to defeat all twenty of Xara’s assailants.
He then picked her up and ran off with her.
That was the classic tale of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
At that moment, Xara thought she had finally found the man whom she could rely on for the rest of her life.
After that, they recognized the feelings they had for each other, and they started seeing each other.
That was part of the reason why the resentment between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family worsened.
It also led to unthinkable incidents where Queta was abandoned, Xara being booted out of the Fenderson family,
and the sudden disappearance of Peter Crawford.
At first, Xara wanted to keep it a secret when she found out that she was pregnant. But how long could one hide
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmaway from that fact?
On that day, the truth was revealed and an uproar happened.
Peter’s identity was exposed. Angered by this incident, the patriarch of the Fenderson family ordered his
subordinates to kill Peter Crawford for the wrong he had committed against his family.
In order to save Peter, Xara did not hesitate to set things clear with the old patriarch and renounce her
membership in her family. After that, she stormed out of the Fenderson family, bringing along only her personal
maid with her.
Gerald listened to what Xara said intently.
He wasn’t feeling great. He realized that what he was doing currently was more or less the same as what his uncle
did in the past.
Unfortunately, his uncle was a passionate lover and a self-willed man. Too bad he had to fall in love with the young
lady from their mortal rivals.
Their love was destined to fail, no matter how much one struggled.
“What happened after that? If only it involved you and me…and Peter Crawford, I’m sure the hatred between the
Crawford family and the Fenderson family would never be so complex. No?”
Gerald asked curiously.
