    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 747


    Winterbourne Vige was a stone’s throw away from Howard County.


    They located the family which Mindy had specified for them to look for upon reaching their destination.


    A middle-aged woman opened the door for them. What set her apart from any other woman of her age


    were the burn scars that peppered her entire face.


    She seemed rather frightened by their presence.


    “Who are you looking for?”


    The woman was visibly stunned by Gerald and his friends’ unannounced arrival.


    She lowered her head to hide her scars, perhaps due to embarrassment or perhaps out of fear of


    scaring the strangers.


    “Ma’am, it’s nice to meet you. May I know if you’re Xenia’s cousin? She said that she asked you to


    keep something special for her. We’re here to retrieve it. She told us that you’ll understand it after


    reading this letter.”


    Jasmine walked over and said while handing her a letter.


    The woman looked at the letter. She then stole a couple of nces at Jasmine before nodding in


    response.


    “Very well, I understand now. You can take it with you.”


    The woman invited Gerald and co into her home.


    It turns out the item that Xenia asked them to retrieve was arge wooden chest.


    They needed at least a few people in order to carry that thing around.


    Upon hearing that, Gerald started suspecting if Xenia was the maid he was looking for all this while.


    As for Ste, it did not ur to her that Gerald and the others were here to do manualbor.


    They weren’t here to have fun at all.


    Hence, she was rather disappointed.


    Besides, that woman’s face was fairly frightening. She peeked at the woman’s face a couple more


    times and goosebumps soon appeared all over her skin.


    Ste remained outside the house when Gerald and the others were moving the heavy chest.


    Out of boredom, she went on a stroll in the vicinity of the house.


    Suddenly, Ste noticed a convoy of expensive cars rolling through the entrance of the vige at high


    speed.


    Ste was the kind of girl who was brave but cautious.


    She realized how odd the presence of these vehicles was.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    It was because she had noticed those cars on their way there.


    But she couldn’t form any conclusions at the moment.


    From afar, she saw that the cars were filled with people. This piqued her curiosity.


    She dashed straight into the house.


    “Gerald, there are a lot of cars outside! And they’re all filled with people inside!”


    Ste said.


    “Ah?”


    Mindy was stunned.


    After that, she ran outside to take a look immediately.


    “Jasmine, Gerald, something’s wrong. She’s right! They’reing straight for us!”


    Mindy hopped up-and-down anxiously.


    Jasmine frowned slightly.


    She was being very careful. In order to y safe, she even refrained from bringing her subordinates.


    She acted as if she was just heading out with her friends on a fun little road trip.


    To her surprise, someone had been stalking their every move.


    “What should we do now?”


    Jasmine was petrified.


    Gerald was perplexed too. ‘D*mn! I didn’t bring my subordinates either! Why are there so many groups


    of people?’


    “Jasmine, you and the otherse to my room quickly!”


    At that moment, the woman whose face had burn scars grabbed Jasmine’s arm.


    She led Gerald and the others to a room inside of the house.


    She lifted a bed frame, revealing a hidden passageway underneath.


    Jasmine looked at the woman with a puzzled expression.


    The woman said, “My cousin stayed over frequently in the past. There’d always be peopleing to


    look for her, so we have this kind of passageway in both of our homes. Since my cousin had asked you


    toe and meet me, I know that you have her trust. Come along with me!”


    Jasmine nodded.


    Gerald could not help but stare at the woman. He felt like he had met that woman somewhere in the


    past, and she looked familiar. But no matter how hard he tried, he simply could not remember where he


    had met her before.


    He had no idea whose tail he stepped on this time, for them toe straight for him.


    He could only jump into the passageway with the others.


    Soon, the group of men barged into the house of the woman uninvited.


    Clearly, they hade for Jasmine and Mindy.


    “What a timely report you gave!”
