Chapter 781
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (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 ount 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 y 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 ced 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 d 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 ce.
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 ce, he would simply allow the internal conflicts to erupt in all its splendor!
Bryson himself could only re 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 pir. 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 umted 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 likest time… Had he not wanted to calm and appease the affiliated families back then, he
would never have been willing to sever his rtionship with his very own daughter!
“It’s my grandfather’s eightieth birthday today! Are all of you here to celebrate it or did youe 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 rtives back then. It’s been more than twenty years since Lord
Fenderson told us that he wouldpensate for our losses and also provide a reasonable exnation
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 pensations’ we received were a few trivial assets and properties. What about the
reasonable exnation 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.
