The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2182
Soon, the two arrived at the Futaba Mansion.
Before they arrived, the experts arranged by the old man had already arrived.
âGerald, who are these people? I asked them just now, but they wouldnât tell me. They simply told me that they came here on orders. Are they the helpers you found?â At that moment, Takuya was standing at the entrance of the manor. When he saw Gerald, he quickly walked to him and asked, pointing to the people on both sides of the manor.
âI think itâs better to go inside before we talk about this.â
âThank you for your help. Please tell me if you need anything!â
Gerald wasnât prepared to explain this in front of these people. Instead, he waved at them and brought Takuya and Fujiko into the house.
In the parlor, once they got inside, Takuya repeated his question.
Now, the situation of this family was very complicated. They did not just have to face the Kanagawa and Hanyu families, but even the people inside the family were coveting his position. One mistake could push him to the end of the world.
âDonât worry, Patriarch Takuya. The people outside are members of the Yamashita family. They were ordered by the old man to come and protect us.â Gerald sensed Takuyaâs anxiety, so he explained quickly as soon as they were seated.
âWhy would the Yamashita family help us?â Takuya opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
âAbout this, you should just rest assured. That old man was an old friend of my grandfather, so, he was willing to help us,â said Gerald with a smile.
âI seeâ¦â Hearing Geraldâs words, Takuya felt relieved.
âBy the way, Gerald, we will have another family meeting the day after tomorrow. They insist that you must be present.â Takuya was relieved, but then, he turned to Gerald and continued.
âWas it the white haired old manâs idea?â Gerald narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
The last time when he had first come to the Futaba family, Gerald had attended the so called family meeting once. During the meeting, the people who rarely came had actually wanted to force Takuya to abdicate his position. Gerald remembered this very clearly.
âI canât say that itâs him. Now that our family is no longer as prosperous as before, itâs logical that they would want to appoint a new patriarch. However, I canât let them drain the family of its last sustenance.
You are our honored guest and now Fujikoâs boyfriend, though superficially, so no matter what, you have to attend the meeting.â
Takuya couldnât help but sigh when it came to his family matter.
âNo problem, I can attend.â Gerald nodded in agreement He would never make it difficult for Takuya.
âThen, I am very grateful for this. For what has happened to the family recently, if it was not for your help, Iâm afraid we wouldnât be sitting here safely at all.â Seeing Gerald agree to it, Takuya immediately showed a relaxed smile, and the look he gave Gerald became more and more benevolent.
âThis is what I should do.â Gerald waved his hand. He had never gotten used to accepting peopleâs thanks, and it would make him feel very awkward.
âStill, thereâs one thing I cannot understand.â After laughing, Takuya was clearly relaxed.
âWhat is it?â asked Gerald, âIf I know about it, I will surely tell you.â
