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 puzzledthe old man. That woman claimed that they did not have money at that moment and that they wouldneed to wait until the next afternoon before someone could send them the money. Hence, they askedthe old man not to worry about that.novelbin

But the old man had been running the hotel for some long now. He was a seasoned veteran in thegame 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, tookout 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 knewinstantly 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 verynight, he even contacted a few of his friends after he got hold of the jade pendant. He did not intend toreturn 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 ofsuch 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 hoteltogether.

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, andher 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 HowardCounty.

He nodded slightly.

That woman gave the old man a lot of money. Come next morning, the old man sent her to HowardCounty himself.

On the way there, he asked her about what she was doing. She claimed that she was going there toseek 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 thatbeauty 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. Isent some people over to investigate it last night. But that family had moved away, and their house hadbeen demolished for a long time. But don’t worry, I can guarantee that we’ll be able to find where thatfamily 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 findwhere Queta’s biological mother was.

But he also needed to know more about that incident. What kind of relationship did Xara have with herfather?

“Mr. Crawford, there’s another incident. I don’t know why you’re looking for Xara, and I don’t knowabout what she has but there’s something I must tell you.”

Suddenly, Barry’s expression turned solemn.

“What is it?”
