Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 797 “Bring her over!” said Gerald as he stood up.

Getting the approval he needed, the bodyguard then left to get her. A brief moment later, the girl wasescorted over by a few other bodyguards.

The girl herself appeared to be shy, though it was a reasonable reaction. After all, who wouldn’t beterrified standing in a port filled with hundreds of luxury cars? As if that wasn’t enough, at least athousand black-suited bodyguards were standing all over the place!

No ordinary person would ever approach the scene without proper reason.

“A-are you… Mr. Crawford? Mila’s boyfriend…?” asked the girl meekly.

“I am,” replied Gerald with a nod.

“I-I go by the name of Narissa Martin… I’m a good friend of Mila’s… I heard that you were investigatingthe liner’s disappearance… While I do have some information about it, I’m not really sure if it’ll helpwith the search…”

“Go on then. It may lead to the next clue!” replied Gerald immediately.

“Well… The night before, Mila, Molly, and Wanda received a package each… All three packagescontained identical pendants… Though the pendants themselves felt somewhat unnerving to look at,the three girls and I simply assumed that it was a souvenir distributed to all the members of theinvestigation team… Regardless, it was rather surprising at the time that they’d get pendants—of allthings—as souvenirs.”

“While the last I saw Mila was after sharing a meal with her and her other two friends, I somehowmanaged to gain more insight into the pendants after I was done hosting a show yesterday. Bycoincidence, one of the guests who had partaken in the show was a student of Professor Shevall, thehead of the investigation team. After the show ended, we had a slight chat. However, when I askedabout the odd pendants, the student claimed that the investigation team never distributed such a thing!I was quite baffled by that. After all, the packages the three girls received had no delivery addresses onthem. Who could have sent them then? Feeling weirded out, I then described the pendant to thestudent.”

“Upon hearing my description, he showed me a group chat which a few of the participants of theinvestigation were in. After reading through it, it seemed that many of them were discussing receivingthe same pendant! I truly feel that something’s off about the pendants… What reason did theanonymous sender have to send them?” explained Narissa.

“If I may, what does the pendant look like, miss? Do you have a picture of it?” asked Fynn as he beganwalking toward the group.

“As a matter of fact, I do!” replied Narissa as she nodded before fishing her cell phone out.

Once she found the picture, she handed her phone over to Fynn. Gerald took a look at it as well, andthough Gerald didn’t recognize it, Fynn himself was already trembling all over.

“It’s… It’s this d*mned thing again!” said Fynn, his fear apparent in his voice.

“What exactly is it, Fynn?” asked Gerald in astonishment.

“It… Well, let’s just say that it’s… Nothing short of terrifying. Since it appeared once twenty years ago,Mrs. Xara should still remember it…” replied Fynn with a nod before looking at Xara.

Hearing that, she walked over to have a look before saying, “…Indeed I do. Peter’s shown it to mebefore… Receiving it at the time felt especially weird… I honestly thought that my plan to elope withPeter had been exposed, and that the pendant was a warning of sorts. In the end, however, we didn’tthink too much about it… To my shock, it was the very next day when Peter went missing!”

“Yes… The second young master’s disappearance truly caused an immense uproar within theCrawford family… Since we assumed that the Fendersons had been the ones who had kidnapped thesecond master, the master was extremely furious. It was then when the Crawford family beganresenting the Fendersons again… While that was the master’s reaction at the time, in truth, he’s beeninvestigating that incident for well over a decade now. After all, given the circumstances at the time, themaster knew for a fact that the Fendersons wouldn’t have had the means to secretly kill the secondmaster. But who else would’ve targeted the second young master if not the Fendersons?”

“In the end, after investigating for so long, there was a point where the master was even close todeclaring that the Fendersons weren’t the actual culprits in that case. However, he knew that hecouldn’t just say that without any solid proof. It was then when he remembered about the pendant withthe strange symbol on it that Peter had received before his disappearance. While he wanted to look forMrs. Xara in person to question her about it, he couldn’t just do something like that, given that healready had such a massive misunderstanding with the Fenderson family. That was why he told you tolook for her instead!” explained Fynn as he frowned.

“To think that the pendant that had created such a huge mess would reappear again after twentyyears!”

“Who exactly is responsible for all this…? They’ve already taken Peter and now they’ve taken Mila aswell! What on earth do they even want?” said Xara, her eyes beginning to water.

“…I suggest that we just wait for the master’s final decision. In the meantime, don’t you think it’s abouttime we returned to Northbay, Mr. Crawford?” added Fynn.

“You can leave first. Inform me if there’s any news regarding the case. I’m staying here!” said Gerald.After all, if he left with them now, he knew that he’d never be able to forgive himself.novelbin

Hearing that, both Fynn and Xara then left.

Gerald himself remained there, joining the search party every day in hopes to find traces of the sunkenship.
