Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 752 Something inside Gerald told him that this was still not the time to reveal his identity as the young master of the Crawford family.
“That’s right. If only that was the case, then Dylan would not have attacked the Fenderson family in such a crazy manner!”
Xara said.
Dylan was the name of Gerald’s father.
Gerald’s heart skipped a beat when he heard her mention his father’s name. He said nothing and listened to Xara quietly.
“It was because something else happened after that incident…”
“After that, the master of the Crawford family—Dylan put Peter under house arrest. But Peter was worried sick about me and my daughter. So, one night, he said that he wanted to elope with me. Queta was already born at that time and we were supposed to lay low at someplace where no one could find us and where we would lead a proper life!”
Xara said…
It was the night when Xara brought her maid—Xenia to go and find a hotel room in a hurry.
Although she had nothing to do with the Fenderson family following her self-imposed exile, the Fenderson family still hired somebody to keep an eye on her because of some complicated issue.
It was raining heavily that night. Xara was still holding her daughter, and she went to meet Peter according to the route which they had planned out.
After all, they needed to hide from the Fenderson family.
They left in a hurry. That was when Xara left her jade pendant as collateral for the stay at the hotel since she had no cash on her.
And the person who sent the money over the next day was the personal driver who Peter sent over.
At first, everything went according to plan. The next step in their plan was to meet each other in Merry City.
But unexpectedly, an accident happened on their way there.
Something happened to Peter.
He disappeared from the radar following that unknown incident.
The driver confirmed that Peter did arrive at Merry City. But she failed to contact him nonetheless.
Peter went missing just like that.
Dylan thought that the Fenderson family was behind his younger brother’s sudden disappearance. Hence, he started a campaign to seek revenge on the Fenderson family. The already bitter relationship between the two families became even worse. Since then, they started plotting against each other secretly.
Xara on the other hand thought that Dylan had captured Peter deliberately just to ruin the Fenderson family.
But she denied having such thoughts later on.
Although the master of the Crawford family—Dylan was rather cunning, he loved his younger brother— Peter tremendously. He would never launch such vicious attacks on the Fenderson family without first facing opposition from Peter.
Something must’ve happened to Peter then.
“A great ruckus was caused during those years. The Fenderson family did not pale in comparison to the Crawford family when it came to influence and power. Despite suffering such great losses, they were still far better off than your typical upper-class family. There would even be times when the two seemed to be on equal footing when they clashed.”
“It was amid their clashes that my brother and his wife passed away due to an accident.”
“Gerald, you’re the descendant of the Crawford family. I’m sure that you’re aware that the descendants of the Fenderson family aren’t allowed to leave their house, and every person from every generation is grounded within the confines of their property. On the other hand, the descendants of the Crawford family lack the fame most families enjoy, and every person from every generation is raised poor. You’re aware of these things, aren’t you?
“It’s related to the feud between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family that has been going on for ages, but the disputes worsened because of the affair between Peter and me.”
Gerald nodded.
It was only till this point that he started to understand what was going on around him.
No wonder his father kept telling him to be humble and keep a low profile. If not, he would be brought home to the Crawford family immediately.
Turns out the Crawford family had their enemies too.
However, Gerald did not know how the feud between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family came about in the first place.
It became clear that Xara wasn’t going to dwell on it as well.
She started describing the events that followed her expulsion from the family. She asked Xenia to find a place to stay. After that, she brought Queta to an orphanage in Mayberry and put her there in order to spare her a life full of misery and homelessness that she herself was going to experience.
She then returned to Salford Province alone.
“Gerald, could you please let me meet Queta? I’m begging you!”
It appears that Xara still cared deeply for Queta.
Of course, Gerald wanted to grant her wish. He nodded. “Sure, Auntie Fenderson. Come with me!”
