Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 720

“Indeed… After the young master passed on, no other Fenderson was able to challenge our rivaling family. After all, you were already at an old age when that happened, big brother. It truly is a shame…

Thank god our little Jasmine is extremely talented. Her skills could easily match the young master’s!

With enough training from us, she could become even more amazing!” said another old man.

“While I’ve considered allowing her to participate in this, she’s still Ethan’s only daughter. She’s the last of her bloodline! I’ve been protecting her from the outside world for the longest time… I just don’t have the heart to let her in on all this!” exclaimed the Fenderson patriarch.

“She’s still young and she’ll eventually be married off as well. I should also mention that not even young master Ethan had been able to handle the family. What can she do? Her parents had both been killed in that incident, do you think they’d hesitate to take down a little girl?” said another middle-aged man with an oily face.

Hearing that, the second young master—who went by the name of Joseph Fenderson—slammed his hands on the table as he glared at the middle-aged man. “What exactly do you mean by that, Noah Schuyler? Have we been treating the Schuyler family a little too well for you to disrespect us like this?”

“I would never! My old fart of a dad keeps reminding me that the Schuylers are forever indebted to the Fendersons! He’s been doing it ever since I was a mere child! I was told to listen to everything you say and I’ve been doing exactly that for the past few years! I’ve even helped you secure power over the southwest region. I can at least take credit for that, right?” replied Noah as he stared at Joseph.

Apart from the Fendersons, a few members from their vassal families were present as well. After all, large families like theirs were bound to have at least a few vassals under their power.

It was similar to how many people would begin working under the Crawfords whenever Gerald formed any new organizations.

“That’s true, Noah has helped the Fendersons quite a bit in the past two years. Even our family has been able to feed off of his credit!” muttered a few other present members.

It was at that moment when the patriarch slammed his walking stick onto the floor, causing everyone to fall silent.

“If you have something to say, just spit it out…” said the old man as he sighed.

“Oh, it’s nothing much, master… It’s just that the young master has already passed for so many years.

We’ve even mentioned splitting the inheritance before, but back then you said that we had to wait till Jasmine grew up. Well, she’s clearly grown up quite nicely! Isn’t it high time to do what you’ve promised? Ethan doesn’t even have an heir anyway!”

“Humph! I knew it! Our young master may have passed away a long time ago, but exacting revenge comes first! Yet here you are, trying to split his inheritance!”

“Hah, seek revenge? Putting it frankly, it very much seems that you guys don’t even dare to do it!

Besides, him leaving his inheritance to you two proves that your skills are limited! It isn’t a stretch to claim that the Fendersons are becoming weaker by the second! Just let us handle his inheritance so that the Fendersons get a better chance at growing again!”

“Noah’s right!” chimed in a few other members.

While Joseph and his brother struggled to come up with an appropriate response, the door was flung open with a loud bang.

Jasmine then entered the meeting room, her eyes reddened and cold as she scanned through every member in the room. Her gaze eventually locked on to Noah.

“Uncle Schuyler, tell me who killed my parents. Who exactly is the enemy? I’ll exact revenge for all of us!”

Seeing her barge in, the patriarch simply sighed deeply, sure that she had overheard their entire meeting.

Nobody dared to speak a word, not even Noah who was now looking to the side, pretending as though he hadn’t heard her question.

After releasing another deep sigh, the patriarch glared at Jasmine before saying, “…Let’s take a short break. Jasmine! You come with me!”
