Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1036
“Second young master, I’ve no idea what’s wrong with your dogs today! They simply refuse to eat! As if
that wasn’t odd enough, they keep biting onto their chains with panicked expressions on their faces!
Could they possibly have encountered something when we brought them into the mountains three days
ago?” said a housekeeper to Yuvan as the others were still enjoying their lunch.
“Encountered something? Nothinges to mind. They could be ill, so call a vet in to have a look at
them!” sneered Yuvan.
The moment his sentence ended, however, a servant came stumbling in next before saying, “S-second
young master! Bad news! Two of your dogs have just died! I don’t even know what happened! One
moment they suddenly started acting all crazy and the next, both of them were already foaming at their
mouths!”
Since the servant was well aware of how much the second young master loved raising dogs, he had
immediately told Yuvan about the discovery to avoid getting into any unnecessary trouble.
“What?! Take me to them!” replied Yuvan anxiously as all the other members of the Moldell family
followed him into the backward.
The backyard itself was home to nearly a hundred domesticated dogs. Unlike how they usually
behaved, however, all of them seemed to have gonepletely rabid today! Many of them were even
struggling and gnawing onto their iron cages!
During the short period Yuvan was there, he witnessed the death of another three dogs to his dismay.
“Call a vet over immediately and have them have a look at what’s wrong with these dogs!” ordered
Yuvan as many of the other Moldells started panicking.
What was the cause of all this? It was almost as though the dogs were sensing some sort of imminent
disaster!
Since none of the dogs could be calmed down, the vet wasn’t even able to properly diagnose them
since it was impossible to check on any of them without first getting severely injured.
By the time evening came, over half of the dogs there were barely alive.
Around that time, an acquaintance of Quin’s saw him moving around rather sneakily. Raising a brow,
he then called out, “Hey, have you heard of the dogs going crazy? Thest ce most of them went
was Everdare forest so there must be a connection with that ce! Regardless, nobody can even
guess what could’ve triggered such a reaction among them!”
Despite him obviously talking to Quin, Quin himself simply ignored him, snickering as he continued
walking down a hallway where the rooms were. Walking over to him, his acquaintance then patted him
on the shoulder before adding, “Hey, I’m talking to you, Quin!”
Jolting slightly, it was made evident that Quin’s mind was so preupied that he hadn’t even noticed
that he was the person his friend had been talking to.
“…Eh? They’re just dogs anyway! What’s the big deal even if they die? Speaking of which, where are
you headed to, Luis?” replied Quin quickly.
“Where else could I be going? I’m heading down the dungeon to see if that Gerald person is already
dead! If he’s still alive, I’ve been ordered to force-feed some congee to him! The congee itself has been
laced with Scatter Pills, so even if he miraculously remains alive, he’ll certainly still end up being
demented!” exined Luis.
“I see. Well, then hurry up and get the job done! If there’s nothing else, I’ll talk to youter!”
“It’s almost dark, though… And besides, where are you headed to…?” muttered Luis to himself as he
scratched the back of his head while looking at Quin who had bolted off as soon as his sentence
ended.
After making sure that Luis was no longer there, Quin rubbed his hands together as he knocked on
Xavia’s door.
“Who’s there?” asked Xavia as she opened the door.

The moment she saw the wretched expression on Quin’s face, a hint of disgust was momentarily
reflected in Xavia’s eyes.
“…Ah, it’s you, Mr. Quin! What brings you here?” asked Xavia rather casually.
Quin himself couldn’t keep his eyes still at all. After all, Xavia was currently wearing a close-fitting
short dress and her hair had been let loose.
Gulping as he continued looking at the alluring woman standing before him, Quin then replied, “Since
I’ve already done what you’ve wanted, I’m here to ask when you’ll be fulfilling your half of the promise.”
Hearing that, Xavia frowned slightly though she quickly hid her disgust behind a fa?ade.
“Regarding that, Mr. Quin, it’s true that I’ve agreed to repay your kindness, and I definitely will.
However, wouldn’t it be best to let that discussion wait till morning? After all, it’s already getting dark
now and Mr. Yuvan is still very anxious because of his dogs. You should head over to console him!”
said Xavia as she immediately tried to close the door behind her.
However, Quin held onto the door with a chuckle before replying, “Now, now, I already knew you
were going to say that… I’m well aware that you’re not interested in me… Hell, you probably look down
on me! However, that doesn’t change the fact that I’ve liked and admired you for the longest time. I
even risked my life just to allow you to meet up with Gerald, you know? So no matter what you say, I’m
getting what I want, Miss Yorke!”
Her disgust now apparent on her face, Xavia red at him as she replied, “Please be more respectful,
Mr. Quin! I hope you remember that I’m here as a representative of the Long family! Not only that,
but I’m also a guest of the Moldells!”
“Heh! Guest? Miss Yorke, the Longs are nothing more than pawns to the Moldell family! So as I’ve said
before, you’re going to be mine today!” sneered Quin as he immediately rushed toward Xavia!
