Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1036

“Second young master, I’ve no idea what’s wrong with your dogs today! They simply refuse to eat! As if that wasn’t

odd enough, they keep biting onto their chains with panicked expressions on their faces! Could they possibly have

encountered something when we brought them into the mountains three days ago?” said a housekeeper to Yuvan

as the others were still enjoying their lunch.

“Encountered something? Nothing comes to mind. They could be ill, so call a vet in to have a look at them!”

sneered Yuvan.

The moment his sentence ended, however, a servant came stumbling in next before saying, “S-second young

master! Bad news! Two of your dogs have just died! I don’t even know what happened! One moment they suddenly

started acting all crazy and the next, both of them were already foaming at their mouths!”

Since the servant was well aware of how much the second young master loved raising dogs, he had immediately

told Yuvan about the discovery to avoid getting into any unnecessary trouble.

“What?! Take me to them!” replied Yuvan anxiously as all the other members of the Moldell family followed him into

the backward.

The backyard itself was home to nearly a hundred domesticated dogs. Unlike how they usually behaved, however,

all of them seemed to have gone completely rabid today! Many of them were even struggling and gnawing onto

their iron cages!

During the short period Yuvan was there, he witnessed the death of another three dogs to his dismay.

“Call a vet over immediately and have them have a look at what’s wrong with these dogs!” ordered Yuvan as many

of the other Moldells started panicking.

What was the cause of all this? It was almost as though the dogs were sensing some sort of imminent disaster!

Since none of the dogs could be calmed down, the vet wasn’t even able to properly diagnose them since it was

impossible to check on any of them without first getting severely injured.

By the time evening came, over half of the dogs there were barely alive.

Around that time, an acquaintance of Quillan’s saw him moving around rather sneakily. Raising a brow, he then

called out, “Hey, have you heard of the dogs going crazy? The last place most of them went was Everdare forest so

there must be a connection with that place! Regardless, nobody can even guess what could’ve triggered such a

reaction among them!”

Despite him obviously talking to Quillan, Quillan himself simply ignored him, snickering as he continued walking

down a hallway where the rooms were. Walking over to him, his acquaintance then patted him on the shoulder

before adding, “Hey, I’m talking to you, Quillan!”

Jolting slightly, it was made evident that Quillan’s mind was so preoccupied that he hadn’t even noticed that he was

the person his friend had been talking to.

“…Eh? They’re just dogs anyway! What’s the big deal even if they die? Speaking of which, where are you headed

to, Luis?” replied Quillan quickly.

“Where else could I be going? I’m heading down the dungeon to see if that Gerald person is already dead! If he’s

still alive, I’ve been ordered to force-feed some congee to him! The congee itself has been laced with Scatter Pills,

so even if he miraculously remains alive, he’ll certainly still end up being demented!” explained Luis.

“I see. Well, then hurry up and get the job done! If there’s nothing else, I’ll talk to you later!”

“It’s almost dark, though… And besides, where are you headed to…?” muttered Luis to himself as he scratched the

back of his head while looking at Quillan who had bolted off as soon as his sentence ended.

After making sure that Luis was no longer there, Quillan rubbed his hands together as he knocked on Xavia’s door.

“Who’s there?” asked Xavia as she opened the door.

The moment she saw the wretched expression on Quillan’s face, a hint of disgust was momentarily reflected in

Xavia’s eyes.

“…Ah, it’s you, Mr. Quillan! What brings you here?” asked Xavia rather casually.

Quillan himself couldn’t keep his eyes still at all. After all, Xavia was currently wearing a close-fitting short dress and

her hair had been let loose.

Gulping as he continued looking at the alluring woman standing before him, Quillan then replied, “Since I’ve already

done what you’ve wanted, I’m here to ask when you’ll be fulfilling your half of the promise.”

Hearing that, Xavia frowned slightly though she quickly hid her disgust behind a façade.

“Regarding that, Mr. Quillan, it’s true that I’ve agreed to repay your kindness, and I definitely will. However,

wouldn’t it be best to let that discussion wait till morning? After all, it’s already getting dark now and Mr. Yuvan is still

very anxious because of his dogs. You should head over to console him!” said Xavia as she immediately tried to

close the door behind her.

However, Quillan held onto the door with a chuckle before replying, “Now, now, I already knew you were going to

say that… I’m well aware that you’re not interested in me… Hell, you probably look down on me! However, that

doesn’t change the fact that I’ve liked and admired you for the longest time. I even risked my life just to allow you

to meet up with Gerald, you know? So no matter what you say, I’m getting what I want, Miss Yorke!”

Her disgust now apparent on her face, Xavia glared at him as she replied, “Please be more respectful, Mr. Quillan! I

hope you remember that I’m here as a representative of the Long family! Not only that, but I’m also a guest of the

Moldells!”

“Heh! Guest? Miss Yorke, the Longs are nothing more than pawns to the Moldell family! So as I’ve said before,

you’re going to be mine today!” sneered Quillan as he immediately rushed toward Xavia!
