The Secretly Rich Man

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 741

“I know it, Gerald. Is it because of the two-day outing in Howard County that Marven organized for tomorrow morning? Have the two of you come here in advance?”

Mindy asked.

“Ah? Oh, that’s right. It’s just that Marven isn’t here yet. I came beforehand just to book the hotel room. What a coincidence to see you here as well! Could it be that you came here early just because you want to sightsee around here?”

Gerald took a glance at the bodyguards who were brought by Jasmine.

“Marven told me that you liked traveling.”

Gerald thought that both Mindy and Jasmine had discovered that he was there to look for the maid too. It was why he acted anxiously for a moment. However, hearing their answer made him heave a long sigh in relief.

He then took the chance to get off the hook.

“Tsk! What are you talking about? We’re not good-for-nothings after all. We’re just…”

Mindy rolled her eyes at Gerald. She wanted to explain herself.

But Jasmine shot a glance at Mindy quickly to warn her against doing so. It seemed like she was saying with her eyes, “Mindy, what’s wrong with you? Why do you speak so much?”

“Ah!”

Mindy realized instantly that she had acted imprudently.

Actually, it was not all Mindy’s fault.

Despite the fact that both Mindy and Jasmine had always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, they understood each and every classmate well.

They did not show it explicitly, but they always gossiped about things like that just like the other girls either when they were walking home, or when they were actually at home.

They would discuss the funny things which happened in class, the handsome boys they saw and the men who, although not as handsome, were extremely nice to them.

They gossiped about nearly every classmate.

No matter how extraordinary their experiences were, they were still young ladies through and through.

Currently, their topic of discussion was about Ferald. After all, they were rather well-exposed to his real identity.

They had become quite familiar with Gerald.

Secondly, the feelings Gerald gave them were clearly incomparable with the other guys.

It was part of the reason why Mindy was so shocked when she naturally struck up a conversation with Gerald so effortlessly.

She shut her mouth hastily.

On the other hand, Jasmine only stole a glance at Gerald before heading upstairs with their henchmen.

Gerald was baffled.

‘Something’s weird. If Jasmine beat me to it and found the maid first, she should have already left this place, no?’

‘Why is she still here in Howard County?

‘If Jasmine isn’t the one who brought that maid away, then who could it be?

‘Looks like I’m gonna have to wait for the return of my subordinates before I get to know more about the nitty-gritty details of the situation.’

“Jasmine, I’m truly sorry. I was too excited to hold myself back just now. I can’t believe I spoke to Gerald about so many things!”

After they entered the room, Mindy held Jasmine’s hand and said.

“It’s fine. Be careful next time. Although we have more freedom now compared to the past, we still have to keep a low profile!”

Jasmine smiled bitterly and said.

“I know. I’ll definitely not repeat my mistake the next time around!”

Mindy stuck out her tongue.

“This mission is clearly dangerous but we managed to get through it without mishap. However, I still can’t comprehend why she’s so stubborn! Is that box so important to her? Where can we find it for her? Jasmine, what do you plan to do next?”

Mindy asked.

But Jasmine gave Mindy a glare again. “Mindy, I truly regret bringing you with me. Why do you have to say everything out loud every time!? Be careful that walls have ears.”

Mindy stuck out her tongue again before she covered her mouth immediately.

“From now on, I want to resume my old self and be cold and aloof. I won’t say much from now on!”

Mindy said.

“You don’t have to be like that. Ah, to be frank, tracking a thing down is easy peasy. What I’m worried about now is that there’s indeed another group of influential people who shares the same aim as us. As if that isn’t bad enough, it seems that their level of expertise is on par with the professionals we have on our team. That’s what I need to worry about!”

Jasmine massaged her brow ridge as she said, “Looks like we’re a step ahead of them. But it’s not as useful as you think. We’re out in the open but our enemies are still well-hidden from us. There’s a possibility that they’ll launch a surprise attack at any moment. Worse still, our Fenderson family might be exposed just like that. We don’t even know who they are. That’s why I have been acting gloomy and anxious all this while!”

“Haha! Is that so? Now that’s easy peasy. I have a way!”

Mindy said happily.

“You?” Jasmine smiled slightly.

“Hmph! Jasmine, you might think that I’m a carefree girl. But I’m quite smart too. This is more or less like the Werewolf Game I love playing!”

Mindy said.

Jasmine shook her head. “I don’t understand it!”

“It’s very easy. Currently, aren’t you afraid of exposing yourself the most? Let’s find something to conceal you. After that, we can stir up confusion among their ranks. That way, you’ll be hidden in the dark. Our Fenderson family will be hidden in the dark too. You just need to act the way you usually do!”

Mindy said.

“What you said is rather logical. You mean that we don’t have to rack our brains to fight against that group of people? However, we need to find another person to act as a ruse. We might even get the chance to lure out the people who are hiding in the dark at first.”

Jasmine was quickly catching on.

Mindy snapped her fingers. “Bingo! That’s it!”

“Ah! But where should we find a person like that? Who is the most suited to draw the others’ attention away?”

Jasmine thought about it.

Mindy pouted as her brain churned away.

But soon, Mindy slapped her forehead.

“Haha! I know who we should look for!”

Mindy said.

Jasmine said helplessly, “Are you going to say Gerald?”

“That’s right. Let’s look for Gerald. He’s the most suitable person for this role. Jasmine, why don’t you look at it this way. We did talk about Gerald before. Despite how handsome and charming he looks, he’s a bit of a dork too. Despite the low profile he keeps, he’s super-rich, which I’m guessing is the reason why he knows so many distinguished people in Salford Province. Those are truly Gerald’s inherent advantages!

“If that’s the case, Gerald might catch our enemies off guard if he steps forward!”

Jasmine nodded.

“What you said is true. After thinking about it, Gerald is truly the most suitable person. But this is pretty risky as well. Is it alright to get him involved in this? Besides, will Gerald agree to do so?”

Mindy chuckled. “Don’t worry. I have a way!”

Mindy averted her gaze but it was clear that she had a plan brewing silently.

When the sky outside was getting darker, Mindy snuck up to the door to Gerald’s room.

Mindy faced no problems when inquiring about where Gerald was staying.

She knocked on the door.

Gerald opened the door and took a look. “Why are you here?”

He was quite surprised.

It was beyond his expectation that an ice-queen would appear standing before him at this time of day.

Mindy chuckled. “Are you surprised? I came to meet you because I need your help with something!”

Mindy said.

“You need my help with something?”

Gerald knowing their true identity did nothing to help. Rather, it further added to his confusion when he heard that statement.

Logically, if they indeed belonged to the Fenderson family, Mindy should have been able to do whatever she wanted to do without much hindrance.

“Yes, it’s true. It’s inconvenient to talk about it here. Let’s go upstairs to my room!” Mindy said.

“Do you want me to go to your room? It’s such a late hour. I don’t think it’s a wise move for me to make.”

Gerald said in surprise.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 743

“Let’s go. You’re overthinking this!”

Mindy dragged Gerald out of the room directly.

Gerald was quite curious too. ‘Why? Does Mindy want to meet me? What is this about?’

After they entered the room, Mindy signaled for Gerald to shut his mouth.

“Mindy, are you back?”

At that moment, they heard Jasmine’s voice from the bathroom.

After that, Jasmine opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.

The next moment, Gerald was stunned by what he saw.

He saw Jasmine’s black hair hanging loosely around her neck. At that moment, she only wore top pajamas, and her fair and curvaceous legs were exposed.

Clearly, she had just come out of the shower. She was using the towel to dry her hair as she spoke to Mindy.

“Ah!”

What surprised her was the sight of Gerald standing in the middle of the room, staring at her with his eyes wide open.

Jasmine’s cute face became flushed red instantly. She immediately dashed back into the bathroom to hide.

Certainly, she had never appeared like that in front of any man, even when she was just a child.

Jasmine had always felt that the things related to love, and the ambiguous relationship between man and woman to be rather intangible concepts.

It was because she never had much contact with any men.

At that moment, she became extremely nervous. She hid inside the bathroom, and her heart was pumping against her ribcage.

“Mindy, why did you bring him to my room?”

They heard Jasmine’s voice from the bathroom. She burst into a fit of rage out of embarrassment.

“Haha! What’s the problem with that? How else could we get Gerald to help us out?”

Although the turnout of events wasn’t as Mindy had expected, it was still good nonetheless.

In her mind, Gerald should have walked straight into the scene where Jasmine was having a bath while being stark naked.

Although Jasmine knew that Mindy sometimes did things without thinking things through, it was beyond her expectation that Mindy would fool around like that.

Mindy chucked. “Okay, I won’t fool around anymore. Gerald, we asked you to come here because we really need your help with something. Currently, you’re the only one out of all our classmates who has the capabilities to do so.”

Mindy said.

At that moment, Jasmine had changed into a long dress. She walked out of the bathroom.

After she glared at Mindy sternly, she glanced at Gerald rather gloomily.

Gerald was quite awkward.

He touched his nose and asked, “What is it?”

“Actually, it’s rather simple. We need you to act on our behalf!”

Mindy continued, “It’s not difficult for you. Besides, I’m aware of what you saw just now. If you don’t want to help us even though I know that you’re capable of doing it, how could you possibly make up to Jasmine for what you’ve done?”

“Mindy, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?”

Jasmine said in resignation.

Gerald smiled bitterly.
