Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 777

“While Daryl hasn’t shown up for quite a while, that doesn’t mean that the marriage contract ceases to be valid. In

fact, even though Dylan had been extremely hostile toward the Fendersons, he hasn’t sent anyone over to formally

end the contract. As long as the marriage contract isn’t called off, then it’s rules still apply till the day the Crawford

family chooses to acknowledge it!” explained Bryson before looking at Noah.

“Do you understand what I mean now, Noah?”

“…To think that the Crawfords and the Fendersons had such a history… However, since both families are still

disputing against each other, then the marriage contract should, by right, be automatically called off, should it not,

Lord Fenderson?” replied Noah rather reluctantly.

“While it’s true that both Dylan and Daryl had a huge conflict back then, I don’t think his son would actually have

the courage or audacity to privately amend or go against the rules set by his father!”

“…Very well, Lord Fenderson. I’ll just pretend that I never brought the matter up. However, do remember that

we’ve been at war with the Crawfords for all these years. We’ll never stop holding our grudges against the

Crawford family, especially after that incident involving Xara that brought such colossal losses to our families!” said

Noah before finally leaving the study room.

“He’s getting more and more presumptuous by the day!” said Jasmine coldly.

She then ran over to her grandfather’s side and began massaging his shoulders before saying, “Still, regardless of

how much Noah enjoys scheming, he’s no match against you, grandpa! To think that you could come up with

something so incredible in such a short amount of time just to deceive him! Hahaha!”

Laughing back in response, Bryson then gently patted the back of Jasmine’s hand before saying, “But I didn’t

deceive him, Jasmine… You truly are betrothed to the young master of the Crawford family!”

“…H-huh?!”

Jasmine was momentarily stunned speechless because of that.

“…How… How could that be possible, grandpa? You can’t be serious, right…?”

She could never have imagined that something as absurd as this would actually happen to her.

“Of course I’m being serious!”

“…But… There’s still something I don’t quite understand… Since such a marriage contract existed, why was aunt

and Peter’s—the second master of the Crawford family—relationship opposed and criticized so much back then?”

asked Jasmine rather doubtfully.

“You aren’t the same as your aunt. When you were born, Daryl was still the head of the family. Dylan only became

the head when you reached the age of one. At the time, Dylan had sent Peter over to the Fenderson family to steal

something from us, and not just anything. He was sent to steal our most treasured family heirloom! If he had

succeeded, the Fenderson family would have already fallen apart right there and then! Dylan had lied to us, and I

didn’t want to lose both my daughter and the rest of my family!”

“…What exactly is that item?” asked Jasmine in surprise.

“I can’t share the details about it yet. You’ll find out about it once you’re at the stage where your aunt was back

then!” replied Bryson with a laugh.

“…Still, can that marriage contract truly still be counted now, grandpa?” asked Jasmine again. This was honestly

what worried her the most.

“To be completely honest, even I can’t say for sure… I feel helpless about the situation at times as well!”

“Then why hasn’t there been any news about the young master of the Crawford family, even after all these years,

grandpa?”

“Well, Dylan made sure that the young master of the Crawford family was raised in poverty. That allowed the young

master to blend in rather well among other ordinary men. While Dylan’s also been actively trying to hide his

whereabouts and identity, I’ve managed to uncover a few clues over my many years investigating. My guess is that

the famous Mr. Crawford from Mayberry is closely related to the Crawford family’s young master!”

“Mr. Crawford?”

“Indeed! However, whenever I try sending someone over to investigate the matter, Dylan always responds

immediately! Because of his constant interfering, I haven’t been able to look into the matter any further!”

Jasmine had come to learn about many things from this conversation alone.

The biggest shock to her yet, however, was the fact that she was contractually bound to have a marriage with Mr.

Crawford!

It was simply too surreal.

After all, she hated the Crawfords. Each and every one of them.

They were the reason why her parents were dead.

Yet here she was, learning about all this now. It was almost as though the heavens were playing a prank on her.

“Then… What happened to Daryl Crawford?”

“He’s gone into hiding. I haven’t seen him in a good twenty years! The Crawford family’s matters are equally as

complicated as what the Fendersons have to deal with!” explained Bryson.

After that, the grandfather and his granddaughter continued talking for quite a bit in his study room.
