Chapter 777


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (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 Dn 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!” exined 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 Dn 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


    coulde 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—rtionship opposed and criticized


    so much back then?” asked Jasmine rather doubtfully.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


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


    only became the head when you reached the age of one. At the time, Dn 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 seeded, the Fenderson family would have already fallen apart


    right there and then! Dn 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 augh.


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


    honestly what worried her the most.


    “To bepletely 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, Dn 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 Dn’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 rted to the


    Crawford family’s young master!”


    “Mr. Crawford?”


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


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


    any further!”


    Jasmine hade 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 ying 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 asplicated as what the Fendersons have to deal with!” exined Bryson.


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