Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 677

“Thank you so much for dealing with the situation, Yuna! You really know lots of people!” said Maia excitedly.

“Why are you even thanking me? I should be the one thanking all of you! While I do want to at least treat you and

your friends to a proper meal for helping me out, it pains me to say that I have to rush back to the company

immediately first. How about this? Here’s my number. If you run into any trouble in future, don’t hesitate to ring me

up!”

It was clear that Yuna was still feeling grateful to Maia for stepping in to save her earlier.

Since she also knew that Maia was a sincere fan of hers, it made sense for Yuna to be particularly concerned over

her.

After leaving her contact information with Maia, she left the scene.

“I’m super envious of you Maia! To think that you’d actually manage to get into Yuna’s good books!” said Vincy as

soon as Yuna left.

“It’s not that amazing… Either way, let’s leave for now! It’ll be embarrassing if we accidentally bump into those

people again later!”

While Maia didn’t explicitly show it, she was beyond happy.

However, since it was true that none of the others were in the mood to enjoy themselves anymore, the decision to

leave was unanimous.

Before leaving, however, Maia turned to look at Gerald.

“You guys leave first. I’ll be staying here!” said Gerald, thinking that Maia was indicating for him to leave with them.

“Humph! Did you honestly just assume that I wanted you to leave together with us? No, Gerald, I simply turned to

look at you to tell you something! In the past, you had nothing else going for you aside from your above average

academic results! Even then, you at least still had that! Now however, I truly have a reason to completely look down

on you. After all, you’re the kind of scum who’ll only appear if good things are present! But when bad things

happen, you’ll just silently stand at the side! You truly disgust me, you know?” sneered Maia with zero filter to her

words.

“Don’t say such things to Gerald! Everyone was scared witless earlier!” replied Vincy.

“Indeed, I won’t deny that, but how come he was able to act so quickly when he first followed us in earlier? Ignoring

that, maybe the rest of you didn’t realize it, but I saw Gerald sneakily moving to the side earlier. That son of a gun

was definitely trying to sneak away if things didn’t go smoothly! I saw it with my very own eyes, you know? Don’t

you simply find that frustrating?” growled Maia angrily.

What Maia had said couldn’t have been further from the truth. What she had assumed to be him trying to sneak

away, was simply him moving to the side to send Zack that Line message earlier.

It was clear as day that Maia had misunderstood him. However, Gerald simply remained silent. He didn’t need to

explain anything to her.

“Let’s just go have a meal somewhere, Maia. Don’t waste your energy trying to talk to him,” said Jamier at that

moment.

Hearing that, Lennard simply began dragging Vincy away. In no time at all, Gerald was alone again.

Gerald could only sigh in his mind before laughing bitterly.

Looking at his cell phone, he then thought to himself, ‘Well this is just wonderful! To think that a scolding was my

reward for helping her!’

However, he quickly let it slide. After all, he had more important things to deal with. He was still more worried about

the incident regarding Queta.

With that, he hurriedly began ascending the rest of the mountain.

“Mr. Crawford!” called out the old man from earlier with a smile as he saw Gerald approaching.

The old man went by the name of Wace, and he was a master of calligraphy and antique collecting in the southwest

of the Salford Province.

“So, have you managed to identify the origins of the jade piece, Mr. Wace?” asked Gerald.

Hearing his question, Mr. Wace then nodded before saying, “I have indeed! While it’s true that I recognized the

pendant when I first saw it, I still needed some time to properly analyze it to be completely sure. Now, I’m certain

without a doubt that this specific kind of jade pendant can only belong to the Fenderson family in County Salford. I

know for certain since each descendent of the Fenderson family owns a similar jade pendant. Another interesting

thing about this kind of jade pendant, is that it’s divided into three levels. Since this particular pendant is top-rated, I

can only assume that its rightful owner is Xara Fenderson, a direct descendant of the Fenderson family!”

“The Fenderson family? While I’ve investigated several large families here, not once have I come across the name,

‘Fenderson.’” said Gerald as he nodded.

Mr. Wace simply chuckled when he heard that.

“I wouldn’t blame you for not knowing about them, Mr. Crawford. After all, The Fenderson family has been lying low

for more than a few decades now. They’re so good at doing it that there’s barely any news about the family

available to the public at all! In the past, the family was considered to be quite powerful and influential not only in

County Salford, but also the rest of Weston. However, in just one night, all news about the family simply ceased to

exist! Because of the lack of news from the Fendersons, nobody talks about their family anymore.”
