Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 918
Warren had made that statement as he stood up. Jasmine herself frowned as she scanned through the storeroom.
Her gaze stopped when she saw a few joss sticks placed near a corner of the room.
“Those must’ve been the reason why we were so sleepy!” said Jasmine as she pointed at her discovery.
“So that’s why! Still, who were those people…? Why didn’t they just tell us who they were after saving us?” replied
Maia.
Before anyone could even reply, one of the group’s members—who had already been exploring the place—
shouted, “Hey, come over here, I think they left something for us!”
Hearing that, everyone encircled the box with a note on it.
The note itself wrote, ‘To: Maia.’
“Guess we know who gets to open it,” said yet another member of the team.
Maia herself was now feeling giddy with excitement. As she thought about what could be inside, she caught a
glimpse of Warren bearing an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Noticing that she was looking at him, Warren then said with a hint of anger in his voice, “Go on and open it already!

“Hey, this is clearly for me! Only I get to open it!” retorted Maia in an annoyed tone.
“Well then open it! Carefully, though! We have no idea what’s in it!” grumbled Warren as he looked at Maia, almost
as though he wanted to pick a fight.
In all honesty, he was worried that if Maia truly liked the contents of that box, she would end up falling for
somebody else.
Before an argument could take place, Jasmine shouted in a hushed tone, “Quit it! Can’t you hear that? Someone’s
coming over!”
Upon saying that, she instantly headed to the storeroom’s main door with soundless steps.
The tension rose as everyone prepared themselves to face whatever came next. After all, the people outside could
very well be the Schuylers.
After a brief moment of silence, however, a sweet female voice could be heard saying, “Jasmine? Maia? Are you in
there…?”
Jasmine recognized that voice anywhere.
“Mindy? Yes! We’re here!”
As everyone heard that, the group’s tension slowly eased again.
Opening the storeroom’s door, Jasmine saw that Mindy had brought along two Fenderson bodyguards with her.
“Jasmine! I’m so relieved that the rest of you are fine!” cried out Mindy.
After the hellish night they had to experience the night before, being able to reunite with each other was definitely
the cure that they very much needed and deserved.
“It’s great that you’re fine, Miss Fenderson! You have no idea how worried Lord Fenderson’s been this entire time!”
said one of the two bodyguards who were still standing behind Mindy.
“Worry not, I’m unscathed. Honestly, I’m even more surprised that you made it out already. Did everyone else
manage to escape? Weren’t there any guards impeding you from leaving?” asked Jasmine curiously.
Upon hearing her questions, Mindy began sobbing as she said, “We… We were rescued by Sanderson! He saved us
all!”
“What? Sanderson? Actually, hold on, why are you crying? Did something happen to him?” asked Jasmine. Though
she was initially shocked when she heard that, worry soon overtook that feeling when she saw Mindy’s tears.
“I… I don’t know… I think he’s still in trouble… After all, once all of us were rescued, we found that Stella was
missing! As a result, he ran back into the Schuyler family mansion and that was the last I saw him…” replied
Jasmine, her sheer sadness reflected in her eyes.
“Calm yourself, Mindy… Sanderson will have luck on his side, I’m sure of it. Besides, don’t start crying when we

on her face.
“…You’re right… Sanderson’s lived a tough life, even from when he was a child… I’m sure he’s an equally tough
person. We’ll definitely find him safe and sound!” declared Mindy with a resolute nod.
While Jasmine was glad that Mindy was feeling positive again, she was curious as to where all that resolution came
from. It was almost as though Mindy knew for sure that Sanderson would definitely be fine. However, Jasmine
refrained from asking her anything about it for now. After all, their grandfather’s safety was still her priority.
“What about grandpa? Is he safe? Did the Schuylers do anything to him? Also, how did you even know where to find
us?”
“Hah! The Schuylers? Don’t even talk about them! They must’ve personally offended a god or something! After all,
not only was their entire mansion razed to the ground, all of them have officially been declared missing! To that, I
say they got what they f*cking deserved!” grunted the other guard behind Mindy.
“…Wait, what? The Schuylers are… gone?”
“Yeah! There weren’t even any bodies to speak of! Everyone from that family simply vanished into thin air!” replied
Mindy as she wiped her tears away.
“Regardless, we should head back first, Miss Fenderson. Lord Fenderson will be hosting a family meeting soon, and
it seems that he wants to announce something important!”
