“It’s a long story. I won’t be able to explain it to you clearly in just a few sentences!”
Gerald smiled and said.
At that moment, a few servants entered the room in a respectful manner before serving Isabelle and Maia some tea.
“Gerald, I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with Mr. Zartyr. But you know very well that we’re facing a dire threat at the moment. If you’re able to help, I sincerely hope that you do so as soon as you can!”
Maia said.
Isabelle nodded vigorously. “Gerald, I’ll apologize to you. After this, I don’t care how you will treat me. I just want you to give us a hand!”
“Alright, I’ll mention it to Mr. Zartyr. But after this thing blows over, I hope that I have something to gain out of this!”
Gerald looked at them and said with a smile.
If they had come earlier, Gerald would have helped them, no questions asked, despite how cold and aloof Maia treated him. But the situation was different now. His heart had gone numb at this point.
Now, Gerald was bitterly disappointed in them.
Especially Isabelle.
They were asking for Barry’s help, and it was equivalent to asking Gerald for help.
Gerald would definitely not turn them down.
But if they wanted to ask Gerald for help, some conditions must be met beforehand.
“Tell us. What do you want to gain?”
Gerald snapped his fingers.
After a short while, both Isabelle and Maia walked out of the place.
They said nothing to Warren and Wyatt after leaving the place. They only glanced at the boys before walking off wordlessly.
It baffled both Warren and Wyatt. But they still caught up with them and left.
After that was done, Barry went to meet Gerald.
The incident in which Isabelle found herself caught up was insignificant, according to Gerald at least. To them on the other hand, it was something that threatened their lives.
The Moore family was supported by the Schuyler family. But they still needed to give Barry some face.
Gerald was originally there at the villa for something much more important than what Isabelle was facing.
“Mr. Crawford, it’s a major discovery. We’ve managed to track down the whereabouts of Xara’s maid, who was quite close to her in the past. We did a lot of investigation and paid a heavy price for it. We learned that Xara left the Fenderson family more than twenty years ago. Apparently, there was a great conflict between her and her family!
“At the height of the conflict, she left the family with her housekeeper. They even brought along a baby who had just turned a month old!”
Barry said.
Gerald sat upright upon hearing that.
That was indeed a very important clue.
‘A baby who had just turned a month old? Could it be Queta?’
Gerald motioned for Barry to elaborate on the matter.
Turns out the truth was not that far from what he had imagined.
When Gerald was in Mayberry, he asked Zack to investigate that incident. Zack in turn informed Barry about this matter, in order for him to further his investigations on it.
Barry placed a lot of attention on this matter.
He dumped fifteen million dollars worth of assets into the mission of tracking down the woman named “Xara”.
Finally, they dug up some incident that was related to the Fenderson family.
As for the current whereabouts of Xara’s housekeeper, it was an old man who took it upon himself and contacted them during the previous day.
That old man had run a hotel once in the past.
He remembered the scene quite clearly.
It was on a night twenty-two years ago. It was raining cats and dogs outside.
Two women and a baby stumbled into the lobby of his hotel.
They looked rather anxious. The woman who was holding the baby was soaked through but the baby’s clothes were dry. But the woman was fairly beautiful.
Despite the fact that so many years have passed, he clicked his tongue when he thought about that. He claimed that he had never met such a beautiful girl in his life.
And standing beside her was a woman in her thirties.
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 732
That woman kept addressing her as “young lady”.
They appeared to be in a hurry, and they wanted to stay there. But there was one thing which puzzled the old man. That woman claimed that they did not have money at that moment and that they would need to wait until the next afternoon before someone could send them the money. Hence, they asked the old man not to worry about that.
But the old man had been running the hotel for some long now. He was a seasoned veteran in the game of life.
How would he be willing to compromise?
Realizing that they had failed to persuade him, the beautiful woman, who was holding the baby, took out a jade pendant and handed it to the old man.
Fortunately, the old man was an antique enthusiast. The moment he saw that jade pendant, he knew instantly that it was an expensive item.
He saw a name—Xara which was being engraved on that jade pendant clearly.
He slowly realized that they might have special origins.
Hence, he did not dare to offend them.
He agreed to let them stay there.
Barry said that the old man had described that incident in a very clear manner yesterday. That very night, he even contacted a few of his friends after he got hold of the jade pendant. He did not intend to return it to the duo.
But his friends reminded him that it would be better if he did not do such a thing against the owner of such an invaluable and beautiful jade pendant.
It was only after hearing that did the old man decide to forget about that.
After that, he waited until two o’clock in the afternoon the next day.
As expected, a young man arrived.
He brought a lot of money for Xara.
It was also at the same time that Xara retrieved her pendant. Then, the two women left his hotel together.
It did not occur to that old man that after seven days, that woman would return to his hotel.
Only this time, the beauty who held the baby did not come.
The one who came was the woman standing next to the beauty.
That old man was surprised to see her.
Seven days ago, that woman still had some rosiness on her face. But now, she was extremely thin, and her face was pale. She looked just like a ghost.
She claimed that she was just there to stay for the night.
She also inquired about a place called Howard County from that old man.
That old man certainly knew where that was. After all, his daughter-in-law’s house was there in Howard County.
He nodded slightly.
That woman gave the old man a lot of money. Come next morning, the old man sent her to Howard County himself.
On the way there, he asked her about what she was doing. She claimed that she was going there to seek refuge with a relative.
That old man then sent her to her relative’s house.
And that was why that woman paid him around fifteen thousand dollars in order to thank him.
Fifteen thousand dollars was no small amount.
That old man probably remembered the incident so well because of this.
He was able to recall every single detail of that incident.
As for the jade pendant which Barry showed him, he confirmed that it was the jade pendant that that beauty gave him 2 decades ago.
How could he possibly forget about that?
“Mr. Crawford, he told us the address of that housekeeper’s relative where she went to seek refuge. I sent some people over to investigate it last night. But that family had moved away, and their house had been demolished for a long time. But don’t worry, I can guarantee that we’ll be able to find where that family is in a day!”
Barry said.
Gerald nodded slightly. “Mr. Zartyr, I’ll leave this to you then.”
Frankly-speaking, Gerald had faith in Barry that he’d be able to handle this investigation well.
Gerald felt that he was now one step closer to finding where Xara was. Finally, he’d be able to find where Queta’s biological mother was.
But he also needed to know more about that incident. What kind of relationship did Xara have with her father?
“Mr. Crawford, there’s another incident. I don’t know why you’re looking for Xara, and I don’t know about what she has but there’s something I must tell you.”
Suddenly, Barry’s expression turned solemn.
“What is it?”
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 733
“That old man said that there was another group of people who met him before we came. They too, inquired about the incident and asked for the maid’s whereabouts,” said Barry.
Gerald was baffled.
‘Who could it be?’
He thought that this was a simple task given to him by his father to look for a person. Looks like things are more complicated than he initially thought.
But Gerald did not dwell on it much since it was useless.
What he needed to do now was to locate where that maid was, ASAP.
In that instant, Gerald made some preparations and prepared to go to Howard County. At the same time, he called up The Drake & Tyson Duo, ordering them to bring some people along and be there as soon as possible.
And it was also the same moment that he received a message in the group chat of his class. It was a message sent by the counselor.
Gerald took a look at it…
It was around this time.
In a luxury car.
“Miss, we still haven’t found where the ex-young lady is. But we did find a very important clue. It’s related to her personal maid—Xenia. We’ve found where she is! Back then, the young lady and Xenia stayed in a hotel…”
Jasmine listened to her subordinate’s report seriously.
She nodded and said, “Have you sent people over there?”
“We did send more people over. There’s one more thing which I need to report to you. It seems like we’re not the only ones who are asking about the young lady’s whereabouts. Our people went and confirmed it with the owner of the hotel just now. He told us that there’s another group of people who’re looking for the young lady too. They’re pretty generous with their money too.”
“Who is it?”
At that moment, there was a faint crease between Jasmine’s eyebrows.
“I’m sorry, miss. We still haven’t discovered who they are at the moment. But I think that it’s better if we start acting with more caution.”
Jasmine nodded. “Fine. Then you must act fast. By the way, bring along the twelve teachers from the family. My aunt was exceptionally ruthless in how she handled affairs in the past. I don’t doubt that she’s offended quite a lot of people. If someone’s looking for her, it should be the Fenderson family who does so in the end.”
“I understand!”
The moment Jasmine finished making the preparation, a message popped up in her class group chat. It was sent by the counselor.
Although Jasmine normally did not talk a lot with her classmates, she was still a member of that group chat.
She glanced at the message.
Turns out the counselor was talking about an outing for tomorrow morning which was organized by the faculty. Coincidentally, they were going to Howard County.
There were a lot of people who were going there.
And the person-in-charge was Marven from the next class.
“That chubby fella is becoming more capable now!”
Reading the message, Jasmine smiled bitterly.
She then got out of the car and returned to the university.
On the other hand, Gerald did not return to the university. In fact, he’d just informed the university about this.
He left for Howard County in Salford Province immediately.
