Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 705 “What exactly happened? There’s no need to rush, just focus on telling me everything in detail!” addedGerald.

“It’s… It’s grandpa Finnley! He’s been packing up and trying to leave! Even now, I’m still struggling tostop him from doing so!”

“What? But why? Everything’s been going smoothly for a while now! Why the sudden urge to leave?”replied Gerald, confused.

Gerald saw Finnley as a mysterious old man who—even in his old age—still operated alone most ofthe time.

It was fate that had brought Gerald and Finnley together, and the old man had already helped Geraldon multiple occasions.

While Finnley still seemed to enjoy pestering him, Gerald said nothing about it. After all, he had alreadyreceived so much help from the old man.

To return the old man’s favour, Gerald welcomed Finnely’s presence, serving Finnley with fine food andalso a place to stay in his mansion.

Since Finnley had also saved Queta’s life, even she treated him well, and she would always make surethat he was constantly well-fed. Most of the time, Queta treated him as though he was her actualgrandfather.

Yet here he was, trying to leave them now. If anything was to blame for Finnley’s sudden urge todepart, it would probably be because of Gerald’s ongoing investigation on the Fenderson family.

Gerald was well aware that something was already off with Finnley the moment he asked that old manif he knew anything about the Fendersons. After all, Finnley seemed to speak less and less with Geraldin the few days to come after Gerald had posed that question. It was as though the old man hadsomething on his mind.

When Finnley was asked why he seemed to be pondering something, the old man would only reply ingibberish.

Seeing that he couldn’t really do anything at the moment, Gerald simply added, “…Alright, don’t worryabout it too much. For now, I’ll head back so that I can ask him about it in person!”

Gerald then parted ways with Marven.

After some time, he arrived home just in time to see Finnley carrying his luggage out the door!

“I really have to leave now, my granddaughter! I’ll definitely come back to visit when I have the time infuture! You’re a good girl and grandpa will never forget you!”

As soon as the old man turned around, however, he noticed that Gerald was standing right before him!

“Ah! My grandson! Perfect timing! I have to leave now, so this is goodbye for the moment!”

“But Mr. Quick, you’ve been living here for quite a while now. Why the rush to leave? Regardless, if youtruly need to go, you could’ve just told me and I would’ve sent you to wherever you needed to go bycar!”

“There really isn’t a need for that, my grandson. I know you mean well, and you’ve been an excellentgrandson! However, if I don’t leave now, I won’t be able to find another chance to do so…”

Finnley’s last words came out in mumbles and Gerald wasn’t able to catch what he had said.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”

Clearing his throat, Finnley then replied, “I said there’s no need to trouble you! It’s about time I leavenow, take care, my grandson!”

After saying that, Finnley patted Gerald’s chest.

As a result, Gerald flinched in pain before gently rubbing over the bruise there that had been left byRaquel.novelbin

“Are you serious? That soft pat on the chest hurt you? Have your insides turned into paper mygrandson?” asked Finnley, clearly astonished.

Queta herself ran over after hearing Gerald’s yelp before asking, “What’s wrong Gerald? Are you hurt?”

“Don’t worry about it! Some girl just kicked me in the chest!”

“…Huh? Who was she? Why did she have to attack you?” asked Queta, getting increasingly worried.

Gerald simply shook his head in response, a sign that he didn’t want to talk about it for the moment.

While it was true that Raquel had only hurt him this much because she was well versed in Taekwondo,Finnley simply shook his head before sighing.

“If I were to leave you now in this state, how could I not worry about you, my grandson? You’re simplytoo kind! I truly worry that once I leave, you won’t even realize what killed you!”

As he said that, Finnley recalled what had happened back at the hotel when Yunus had sent that long-haired man to attack Gerald.

If it wasn’t for his intervention, Gerald’s arm would’ve been as good as gone!

“I only got this hurt because I didn’t fight back! If I was serious, I’d definitely have been able to spar fora bit!” replied Gerald. After all, while he was kind, he still had a reputation to maintain! Being beaten upby a girl definitely hurt his ego slightly.

“Hah! You? While I know you have a bit of strength in you, just about anyone who has a bit more skillcan easily beat you into a pulp! You know, my grandson, you can’t just expect there to be people toprotect you every time something like this happens!” said Finnley as he scratched the back of his head.

Gerald could only nod in response.

To be honest, he had considered picking up a martial art or two from the Drake & Tyson duo before.Perhaps something like kickboxing.

The problem was, he simply didn’t have the time to undergo any training!
