Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 797
“Bring her over!” said Gerald as he stood up.
Getting the approval he needed, the bodyguard then left to get her. A brief momentter, the girl was
escorted over by a few other bodyguards.
The girl herself appeared to be shy, though it was a reasonable reaction. After all, who wouldn’t be
terrified standing in a port filled with hundreds of luxury cars? As if that wasn’t enough, at least a
thousand ck-suited bodyguards were standing all over the ce!
No ordinary person would ever approach the scene without proper reason.
“A-are you… Mr. Crawford? M’s boyfriend…?” asked the girl meekly.
“I am,” replied Gerald with a nod.
“I-I go by the name of Narissa Martin… I’m a good friend of M’s… I heard that you were investigating
the liner’s disappearance… While I do have some information about it, I’m not really sure if it’ll help
with the search…”
“Go on then. It may lead to the next clue!” replied Gerald immediately.
“Well… The night before, M, Molly, and Wanda received a package each… All three packages
contained identical pendants… Though the pendants themselves felt somewhat unnerving to look at,
the three girls and I simply assumed that it was a souvenir distributed to all the members of the
investigation team… Regardless, it was rather surprising at the time that they’d get pendants—of all
things—as souvenirs.”
“While thest I saw M was after sharing a meal with her and her other two friends, I somehow
managed to gain more insight into the pendants after I was done hosting a show yesterday. By
coincidence, one of the guests who had partaken in the show was a student of Professor Shevall, the
head of the investigation team. After the show ended, we had a slight chat. However, when I asked
about the odd pendants, the student imed that the investigation team never distributed such a thing!
I was quite baffled by that. After all, the packages the three girls received had no delivery addresses on
them. Who could have sent them then? Feeling weirded out, I then described the pendant to the
student.”
“Upon hearing my description, he showed me a group chat which a few of the participants of the
investigation were in. After reading through it, it seemed that many of them were discussing receiving
the same pendant! I truly feel that something’s off about the pendants… What reason did the
anonymous sender have to send them?” exined Narissa.
“If I may, what does the pendant look like, miss? Do you have a picture of it?” asked Fynn as he began
walking toward the group.
“As a matter of fact, I do!” replied Narissa as she nodded before fishing her cell phone out.
Once she found the picture, she handed her phone over to Fynn. Gerald took a look at it as well, and
though Gerald didn’t recognize it, Fynn himself was already trembling all over.
“It’s… It’s this d*mned thing again!” said Fynn, his fear apparent in his voice.
“What exactly is it, Fynn?” asked Gerald in astonishment.
“It… Well, let’s just say that it’s… Nothing short of terrifying. Since it appeared once twenty years ago,
Mrs. Xara should still remember it…” replied Fynn with a nod before looking at Xara.
Hearing that, she walked over to have a look before saying, “…Indeed I do. Peter’s shown it to me
before… Receiving it at the time felt especially weird… I honestly thought that my n to elope with
Peter had been exposed, and that the pendant was a warning of sorts. In the end, however, we didn’t
think too much about it… To my shock, it was the very next day when Peter went missing!”
“Yes… The second young master’s disappearance truly caused an immense uproar within the
Crawford family… Since we assumed that the Fendersons had been the ones who had kidnapped the
second master, the master was extremely furious. It was then when the Crawford family began
resenting the Fendersons again… While that was the master’s reaction at the time, in truth, he’s been
investigating that incident for well over a decade now. After all, given the circumstances at the time, the
master knew for a fact that the Fendersons wouldn’t have had the means to secretly kill the second
master. But who else would’ve targeted the second young master if not the Fendersons?”
“In the end, after investigating for so long, there was a point where the master was even close to
dering that the Fendersons weren’t the actual culprits in that case. However, he knew that he
couldn’t just say that without any solid proof. It was then when he remembered about the pendant with
the strange symbol on it that Peter had received before his disappearance. While he wanted to look for
Mrs. Xara in person to question her about it, he couldn’t just do something like that, given that he
already had such a massive misunderstanding with the Fenderson family. That was why he told you to
look for her instead!” exined Fynn as he frowned.
“To think that the pendant that had created such a huge mess would reappear again after twenty
years!”
“Who exactly is responsible for all this…? They’ve already taken Peter and now they’ve taken M as
well! What on earth do they even want?” said Xara, her eyes beginning to water.
“…I suggest that we just wait for the master’s final decision. In the meantime, don’t you think it’s about
time we returned to Northbay, Mr. Crawford?” added Fynn.
“You can leave first. Inform me if there’s any news regarding the case. I’m staying here!” said Gerald.
After all, if he left with them now, he knew that he’d never be able to forgive himself.
Hearing that, both Fynn and Xara then left.

Gerald himself remained there, joining the search party every day in hopes to find traces of the sunken
ship.
