The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 781

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 781 Gerald himself was wondering the same thing. It looked as though some sort of conflict was going on.Everything seemed to be going fine before this. How did things end up this way?

As Gerald stared at the scene in bewilderment, he could see a middle-aged woman kneeling within thecrowd.

The members of the families affiliated with the Fendersons seemed to be filled with rage and even LordFenderson himself had an ugly expression on his face.

“It’s her! It’s that sinner’s maid from back then! Hurry up and tell us where Xara is now! If you speak thetruth, we’ll consider sparing you!”

“Remember! The Crawfords and the Fendersons only got into a huge fight back then because of her!We, the affiliated families, were the ones who had suffered the most losses because of that battle! Howpitiful my son was for having to grow up in such turmoil because of her! Lord Fenderson, if you’rehiding Xara anywhere, we demand that you hand her over to us!”

“That’s right! Hand her over so that you can give an account to our families!”

Many of the affiliated family members were now gathered around Lord Fenderson, demanding for Xara.

Noah himself was sneering at the side.

The conflict had started when Bryson reprimanded Noah in public for inviting the Longs without askingfor his permission first. In retaliation, Noah then revealed the fact that the Fendersons had alreadylocated Xara’s old personal maid.

He was done having to play nice with Bryson.

Noah’s actions had stemmed from the fact that he had regarded himself as the head of several bigfamilies for years by now. One could even say he was almost as influential as the Fendersons.

Aside from that, Bryson had also placed him in an awkward situation when Noah went looking for himto ask for some assets while also discussing his son’s marriage with Jasmine.

His grievances that he had piled-up up till this point were by no means a small amount.

Since he couldn’t achieve his goal peacefully, he was going to use the event to his advantage and goall out today.

He was glad that he had previously sent several of his men over to monitor every move theFendersons made. In addition to having quite a number of informers from within the family, he was ableto gain information about everything they did.

It was why he managed to find out about the existence of Xara’s maid being there in the first place.

Noah even had a trump card in hand, and he had personally given it to Bryson a few days prior. Nowthat all the pieces were in place, he would simply allow the internal conflicts to erupt in all its splendor!

Bryson himself could only glare in rage at the crowd before him.

This conflict was nothing new to him. After all, they had secretly been fighting for many years by now.

While the Fenderson family was still colossal in size, it was now akin to a high-rise building that hadlost its main supporting pillar. Though the outside looked majestic, its insides were already crumbling ina state of jeopardy.

It wasn’t as though Bryson hadn’t taken precautions against Noel and Yael either.

However, he had simply assumed that he would still be able to control both the father and son, even inhis old age.

To think that both of them would make a move on him during his birthday banquet!

The accumulated grievances between both parties had already made things very stressful for him. Yethere Noah and Yoel were, deliberately trying to heighten the conflicts between them!

It was just like last time… Had he not wanted to calm and appease the affiliated families back then, hewould never have been willing to sever his relationship with his very own daughter!

“It’s my grandfather’s eightieth birthday today! Are all of you here to celebrate it or did you come herejust to criticize and question him?” said Jasmine rather coldly.

“Jasmine, while we’re naturally happy that it’s Lord Fenderson’s birthday today, our families havealready lost too many of our relatives back then. It’s been more than twenty years since LordFenderson told us that he would compensate for our losses and also provide a reasonable explanationto all our families. Yet even after all this time, he won’t even let us catch a glimpse of Xara! The womanwho was the cause of all that chaos back then!”

“The only ‘compensations’ we received were a few trivial assets and properties. What about thereasonable explanation we were promised? And to think after we’ve waited patiently all this time, LordFenderson was actually housing the maid who once used for Xara! If Mr. Schuyler hadn’t brought thematter to light, we would’ve never found out about this!”novelbin

“Our families have already been affiliated with the Fendersons for generations! How could LordFenderson do this to us? How can you even expect us to be appeased now?” said a middle-aged manindignantly.

“That’s right! Rather than continue debating the matter, I say we should just capture her maid andtorture her till she tells us where Xara is!”

“Men! Drag her out immediately!”

As soon as those words were said, a few bodyguards working for the affiliated families rushed forwardand grabbed Xenia by her arms.

“Presumptuous! All of you! I’m well aware that all of you are just pretending to look for her! Your maingoal has always been to get your hands on the assets she owned back then!” said Jasmine, her tonefrigid.

Hearing that, several of the more capable individuals within the crowd went silent.

“You can’t just put it that way, Jasmine. However, since you’ve already said it, it wouldn’t be right if theSchuylers didn’t use this chance to set a proper example! That’s right! While we had been delegated asmall portion of the assets Xara owned in the beginning, the consequences that we had to pay forclearly outweighs what we should have received! It’s only right for us to demand for an equaldistribution of assets!” replied Noah.

What he said wasn’t wrong either, since Xara and the eldest master of the Fenderson family were theones who had held and controlled most of the assets and properties belonging to their family backthen.
