Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 781

Gerald himself was wondering the same thing. It looked as though some sort of conflict was going on. Everything

seemed to be going fine before this. How did things end up this way?

As Gerald stared at the scene in bewilderment, he could see a middle-aged woman kneeling within the crowd.

The members of the families affiliated with the Fendersons seemed to be filled with rage and even Lord Fenderson

himself had an ugly expression on his face.

“It’s her! It’s that sinner’s maid from back then! Hurry up and tell us where Xara is now! If you speak the truth, we’ll

consider sparing you!”

“Remember! The Crawfords and the Fendersons only got into a huge fight back then because of her! We, the

affiliated families, were the ones who had suffered the most losses because of that battle! How pitiful my son was

for having to grow up in such turmoil because of her! Lord Fenderson, if you’re hiding Xara anywhere, we demand

that you hand her over to us!”

“That’s right! Hand her over so that you can give an account to our families!”

Many of the affiliated family members were now gathered around Lord Fenderson, demanding for Xara.

Noah himself was sneering at the side.

The conflict had started when Bryson reprimanded Noah in public for inviting the Longs without asking for his

permission first. In retaliation, Noah then revealed the fact that the Fendersons had already located Xara’s old

personal maid.

He was done having to play nice with Bryson.

Noah’s actions had stemmed from the fact that he had regarded himself as the head of several big families for

years by now. One could even say he was almost as influential as the Fendersons.

Aside from that, Bryson had also placed him in an awkward situation when Noah went looking for him to ask for

some assets while also discussing his son’s marriage with Jasmine.

His grievances that he had piled-up up till this point were by no means a small amount.

Since he couldn’t achieve his goal peacefully, he was going to use the event to his advantage and go all out today.

He was glad that he had previously sent several of his men over to monitor every move the Fendersons made. In

addition to having quite a number of informers from within the family, he was able to gain information about

everything they did.

It was why he managed to find out about the existence of Xara’s maid being there in the first place.

Noah even had a trump card in hand, and he had personally given it to Bryson a few days prior. Now that all the

pieces were in place, he would simply allow the internal conflicts to erupt in all its splendor!

Bryson himself could only glare in rage at the crowd before him.

This conflict was nothing new to him. After all, they had secretly been fighting for many years by now.

While the Fenderson family was still colossal in size, it was now akin to a high-rise building that had lost its main

supporting pillar. Though the outside looked majestic, its insides were already crumbling in a state of jeopardy.

It wasn’t as though Bryson hadn’t taken precautions against Noel and Yael either.

However, he had simply assumed that he would still be able to control both the father and son, even in his old age.

To think that both of them would make a move on him during his birthday banquet!

The accumulated grievances between both parties had already made things very stressful for him. Yet here Noah

and Yoel were, deliberately trying to heighten the conflicts between them!

It was just like last time… Had he not wanted to calm and appease the affiliated families back then, he would never

have been willing to sever his relationship with his very own daughter!

“It’s my grandfather’s eightieth birthday today! Are all of you here to celebrate it or did you come here just to

criticize and question him?” said Jasmine rather coldly.

“Jasmine, while we’re naturally happy that it’s Lord Fenderson’s birthday today, our families have already lost too

many of our relatives back then. It’s been more than twenty years since Lord Fenderson told us that he would

compensate for our losses and also provide a reasonable explanation to all our families. Yet even after all this time,

he won’t even let us catch a glimpse of Xara! The woman who was the cause of all that chaos back then!”

“The only ‘compensations’ we received were a few trivial assets and properties. What about the reasonable

explanation we were promised? And to think after we’ve waited patiently all this time, Lord Fenderson was actually

housing the maid who once used for Xara! If Mr. Schuyler hadn’t brought the matter to light, we would’ve never

found out about this!”

“Our families have already been affiliated with the Fendersons for generations! How could Lord Fenderson do this to

us? How can you even expect us to be appeased now?” said a middle-aged man indignantly.

“That’s right! Rather than continue debating the matter, I say we should just capture her maid and torture her till

she tells us where Xara is!”

“Men! Drag her out immediately!”

As soon as those words were said, a few bodyguards working for the affiliated families rushed forward and grabbed

Xenia by her arms.

“Presumptuous! All of you! I’m well aware that all of you are just pretending to look for her! Your main goal has

always been to get your hands on the assets she owned back then!” said Jasmine, her tone frigid.

Hearing that, several of the more capable individuals within the crowd went silent.

“You can’t just put it that way, Jasmine. However, since you’ve already said it, it wouldn’t be right if the Schuylers

didn’t use this chance to set a proper example! That’s right! While we had been delegated a small portion of the

assets Xara owned in the beginning, the consequences that we had to pay for clearly outweighs what we should

have received! It’s only right for us to demand for an equal distribution of assets!” replied Noah.

What he said wasn’t wrong either, since Xara and the eldest master of the Fenderson family were the ones who

had held and controlled most of the assets and properties belonging to their family back then.
