Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 771

“Third young lady, you really aren’t allowed to enter! The order had specifically been issued by the old master!” said a bodyguard, desperately trying to prevent a girl—who looked to be around twenty—from entering.

“Well that’s just great then! Are you telling me that there’s now a place within the Fenderson mansion where I, Quincy Fenderson, can’t enter? Both my elder sister and second sister already dislike me. Are you saying that grandpa doesn’t like me either now? The more you prevent me from entering, the more I want to enter and have a look for myself! Now get out of the way!” shouted Quincy as she pushed the bodyguard aside and rushed inside.

The inside of the room looked extremely luxurious, and antique furniture—seemingly in the style of 1960’s European aristocrats—was placed in every corner. Apart from her grandfather’s room, this was the only other room that was this luxurious in the entire mansion.

Whenever she had nothing better to do, Quincy would often come to this room to have a look around. Like most of the other Fendersons, Quincy had often dreamed of moving into this particular room.

After all, she heard that this room was where her aunt used to stay in.

Since Quincy had already been feeling quite lonely within the family, her bad mood was immediately triggered once she found out that someone else was now living there.

She wanted to see for herself who had gotten access to living in the room, yet her permission to enter had been denied. All that led to the current scene.

Seeing her burst in without warning, both Queta and Xenia looked rather alarmed. Xenia hadn’t anticipated for someone to barge in on them like that.

“You… Who are you? You look quite familiar…” said Quincy, feeling slightly startled herself when she saw Queta.

“My… My name is Queta Smith!”

“Queta? I’ve never seen you before among the other Fendersons, have I?” asked Quincy as she scanned the girl from head to toe.

Finally recovering from her shock, Xenia then asked, “You’re the third young lady, correct? The old master was the one who had ordered Miss Queta to stay here for the moment to rest and recuperate from her injuries…”

“Humph! I’m well aware of that! Though I’m not sure why he wanted you to stay in this particular room, I’m sure he has his reasons. Regardless, I’ll need you to leave for a moment. I’d like to tell Miss Queta something in private!” ordered Quincy.

Hearing that, Xenia then looked at Queta. In return, Queta simply nodded slightly, prompting Xenia to leave the room.

Once Xenia was outside, Quicy immediately closed the door behind her.

She then turned to look at Queta again before happily saying, “I need your help with something. Could you lend this room to me for a night? You can stay in my room in the meantime! How about it? Deal?”

The reason she wanted to sleep in this room was obvious.

However, Queta was caught completely off guard by the question. She didn’t even know how to reply. In all honesty, she was simply looking forward to Gerald coming over to rescue both her and Xenia so that she could finally be reunited with her family.

Since she really didn’t have the time or energy to waste on the people here alongside any of their matters, she simply remained silent.

“…What’s that silence supposed to mean? Can’t we even switch rooms for a night?” asked Quincy again, her hands now on her waist.

Before she could ask a third time, the bodyguard from earlier suddenly entered the room before saying in a cold voice, “Third young lady, Lord Fenderson would like to have a word with you.”

“You!” replied Quincy as she turned to look at the bodyguard angrily.

Moments later, Quincy stood before the bodyguard and slapped him hard across the face!

“How dare you rat me out! Just you wait and see how I’m going to deal with you!” said Quincy as she glared at Queta one final time before hastily leaving, enraged.

“What’s wrong with you this time, Quincy?” asked both Jasmine and Mindy who happened to cross paths with her.

Quincy, however, simply ignored them, huffing as she walked past them.

Once Jasmine realized that Quincy had come from the direction where her aunt’s room was, Jasmine headed over to the bodyguard from earlier and casually asked, “Is there someone in aunt’s room?”

“Indeed there is, eldest young lady!”

“Who is it?”

“I apologize, but lord Fenderson has forbidden me from telling anyone about the matter. I hope that you won’t ask me any more questions about the person staying inside!” replied the bodyguard.

Taking in a deep breath, Jasmine then frowned as she peeked at the room where her aunt used to stay in.

She had noticed that her grandfather had been trying to hide something from her in the past few days. What more, her investigation efforts on her aunt had only reached its halfway point when her grandfather ordered her to cease investigating.

Even from when she was still a child, Jasmine had always hated having superficial knowledge, regardless of the topic.

Because of that, she had initially planned to enter her aunt’s room to try looking for new leads together with Mindy. Her bumping into Quincy there was no mere coincidence.

Now knowing that someone had moved into that room, her curiosity was piqued. Who could have been entitled enough to be permitted to stay there?

“Why don’t we sneak in and have a look inside the room, Jasmine?” suggested Mindy, now getting increasingly curious as well.

“Don’t be rash. For now, we should leave first. It’s grandpa’s birthday banquet soon and I don’t want to anger him at a time like this!” replied Jasmine as she started walking away. Though she said that, she was honestly even more curious than Mindy was.

Around two days later…

“Did you get all the materials I told you to? Please double check again later. We can’t afford to have any of the materials absent since we’ll be using them to decorate and set up the venue later tonight. If the event tomorrow is delayed because of us, we’ll have to pay dearly!” said a lady in her thirties to a rather young man.

“Will do, Miss Little!” replied the young man immediately.

“Speaking of which, the group of chefs from Northbay will be cooking supper later. It’s really hard serving that group of celebrities. They’re still playing cards to pass the time even at this hour! Deliver supper to them one by one later!”

“Not an issue!”

The young man in question, was none other than Gerald.

Aunt Fenderson really lived up to her old title. She truly had connections everywhere,

It was around two days ago when he, Drake, Tyson, and a few others got into this team with barely any trouble.

As per usual in the annual Fenderson birthday banquet, the Fendersons would invite famous local chefs as well as female celebrities from all over the country to partake in the banquet. Naturally, there also needed to be a courtesy team.

Being such a rich family, the event allowed the Fendersons to display their nearly unparalleled wealth and splendor. The immense number of people in Gerald’s team alone was another way of showing that.

It wasn’t long before Miss Little was informed that supper was done. In turn, Gerald was ordered to serve the meals to a group of celebrities.

There were eight female celebrities within the group who sat separately on two tables as they played cards. Gerald had seen many of them on television before.

“Supper is served!” announced Gerald.

“Well, hello there pretty boy! Come over here and let me touch you!”

“Hahaha! You must be too overjoyed to think straight after winning that much! Try not to scare the young man away!” joked another celebrity.

“Now why would that ever happen? It’s not like I’m going to take advantage of him or anything! Hahaha!”

When it came to playing cards, those who were winning would naturally feel happier whereas those on the losing end would of course, tend to be more impatient and frustrated.

Ignoring their harassment, Gerald simply served supper to one of the singers there. However, it was evident that she wasn’t really paying attention to him since she ended up accidentally pushing her own supper to the floor. As a result, a small portion of the greasy food splattered on her calf!

“What the- How the hell do you even do your job?!” yelled the singer as she glared at Gerald.

Hearing that, Gerald tried really hard to hold himself back from slapping her. It was a reasonable reaction given how terrible the singer’s behavior was.

Still, he refrained from doing so. After all, this was all part of a bigger plan.

Gerald could only hold on to his anger in silence as he served the remaining supper before heading to the next room.

“Alright, just put it over there for us! Thank you!” said one of the two young girls in the room.

Both of them—who looked to be around the same age as Gerald—were courtesy staff for the group of celebrities in another room and they seemed to be busy trying to remove their makeup.

While Gerald was being told to leave their supper there, he ended up staring at one of the girls for quite some time before finally realizing who she was.

‘D*mn it! What are the odds of meeting you here?’ Gerald thought to himself, surprised.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 773

The person in question was Alice!

He hadn’t met her in such a long time.

After all that had happened, Gerald had heard that Alice had gone to Northbay. Since she was from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting, it was only natural for her to get her internship there.

However, he truly hadn’t expected to bump into her here!

“Speaking of which, could you clean up the things on the floor while you’re at it? Thank you!” said the other girl without even bothering to turn back to look at him.

“Will do!”

Xara had made all the arrangements yet for some reason, both Drake and Tyson were left idle whereas Gerald was designated the role of a handyman who had to do all sorts of odd chores! Was it simply his fate to run errands?

Regardless, it didn’t really matter too much to Gerald since he was already used to it.

“Consider this to be a little vacation from all your troubles and frustrations, Alice. After all, you’ve finally managed to leave Mayberry, the place where you had experienced so many upsetting memories, and started anew in Northbay! Still, who could’ve ever expected for something like that to happen? Everything should’ve honestly belonged to you! If things had simply gone that way, then we would’ve been able to enjoy the benefits as well!” said the other girl as she continued removing their makeup.
