Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 678
“…Ah, is that so?”
Hearing that, both Gerald and Queta were slightly disappointed.
Barry himself frowned while saying, “You mentioned that despite them being a powerful family, all news regarding
them disappeared in a single night, correct? I wonder what drastic changes happened back then… Could the
Fendersons have simply gone bankrupt?”
“That’s quite impossible. If they had truly gone bankrupt, how could they have silenced the reporters from
reporting about the incident?” replied Gerald as he shook his head.
Mr. Wace smiled after hearing what Gerald had to say.
“Mr. Crawford’s right. For those from the older generation like me, we believe that the Fenderson family didn’t
actually fall into bankruptcy. Instead, we think that they underwent the exact opposite of that. Rather than going
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbankrupt, the family instead amplified in power, or at least that’s what we assume. Regardless, the family never left
the Salford Province, and they still reside here to this very day. Some have even theorized that many of the
properties belonging to the large families in the Salford Province are dependent on the Fendersons. However, no
matter how much they investigated it, they still failed to find out anything relevant to the theory!”
‘How odd… Why would the Fendersons keep such a low profile for no good reason? However, based on the various
clues I’ve come across, those from the Fenderson family have shown themselves before in a few events, or so Zack
says. Mr. Weyham himself had met a rather exceptional youth wearing a similar jade pendant in Wendall City
before…’ Gerald thought to himself.
As he thought about it, the girl from earlier crossed Gerald’s mind again. She simply resembled Queta too much for
it to be a coincidence. Aside from that, she also seemed to have a very strong family background.
‘Tsk… Could it be that she’s actually a Fenderson…?’
Gerald could feel that he was close to the truth.
After that, he thanked Mr. Wace before leaving together with Queta.
Before parting ways with Barry, however, Gerald told him to enquire about the Fenderson family. Naturally, Gerald’s
intent was to get him to investigate that girl though he didn’t go into detail about her.
“My grandson, how goes your investigation? Why are you only back now?” asked Finnley the moment they returned
to the villa which Barry had arranged for them.
As soon as he saw Finnley, Gerald thought to himself, ‘The Salford Province is Finnley’s hometown. He’s also quite a
capable person… I wonder if he knows anything about this.’
“It’s going well. Also, Mr. Quick, have you heard about the Fenderson family in the Salford Province before?” asked
Gerald as he bit into an apple that Queta had just handed to him.
“What? The Fenderson family? Are you looking for someone within that family?” asked Mr. Quick in a shocked tone,
his eyes widened.
“We are. Do you know anything about them?”
“Please tell us if you do know anything about them, Mr. Quick. It’s very important to us!” added Queta as she
handed an apple to Finnley as well.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Hm… I… I’ve never heard about them! Despite living in the Salford Province for so many years, I’ve never heard
about the Fendersons!” replied Finnley as he shook his head, looking quite perplexed.
Seeing this, Gerald and Queta simply looked at each other.
“Do you really not know anything about them?”
“I say only the truth!” replied Finnley, biting into his apple.
Hearing that, Gerald felt that the only remaining clue that they had about the family was also their biggest one.
They needed to find out more about that girl, particularly her origins.
Sensing that he needed to be more specific, Gerald then told Barry to try identifying that girl.
Sometime later however, Barry was still unable to gather any information about her, even after using various
methods.
Slightly disheartened, Queta then turned to look at Gerald before asking, “What should we do now, Gerald?”
In her mind, she kept thinking about the same things.
‘Who was the one who abandoned me in the past? And what drove them to do such a thing…?’
Gerald himself wanted to find out who exactly that woman was to his father. He also wanted to know whether
Queta was truly his younger sister.
It was at that moment when Gerald paused for a moment before his eyes lit up.
“Worry not, Queta! We may still have another chance!”
