The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 750
And now, the woman who looked exactly like Queta appeared before him.
What confirmed his suspicion was the sight of how agitated she was when she saw the jade pendant.
What else could explain her bizarre reaction?
âAre you saying that her name is Queta? Does she really look exactly like me?â
The woman said excitedly.
âThatâs right. She gave me this jade pendant. She yearns to find her own mother, from whom she has separated years ago. Sheâd always been alone since then. Her life is filled with suffering, with neither good meals nor proper clothes. She grew up in an orphanage for crying out loud!â
Gerald said.
The woman burst into tears again.
As she was crying, she plopped down on a chair feebly.
âAre you finally ready to admit it? Youâre Xara, arenât you?â
Gerald asked.
And that woman covered her face with her palms as she nodded. âI am!â
After that, she stood up immediately. She grabbed Geraldâs arms. âIâm begging you. Please let me meet Queta. I donât care whose side youâre on. I promise Iâll come with you as long as I get to see my baby girl!â
Xara sobbed as she spoke.
Finally, the thing which had been troubling his mind was finally defeated.
He found Xara just like that.
âAuntie Fenderson, donât worry. Iâll definitely let you meet Queta. Iâve brought her along with me to Salford Province!â
Frankly-speaking, Gerald felt ecstatic at that moment.
He had fulfilled his mission. The most important thing was that he had finally found Quetaâs mother.
âDoes Queta come too? Where is she?â
Xara said.
âSheâs staying at the villa where Iâm living currently.â The moment Gerald met Xara, he felt that she was oddly friendly to him for some inexplicable reason. He asked, âAuntie Fenderson, I know that you were a famous beauty in the past. Did something happen to you after that?â
Xara touched her cheeks slightly. âAre you talking about my face?â
Gerald nodded.
âI ruined it myself. You should be aware of how many people are looking for me. I had no other options to conceal my identity.â
âTwenty years ago, I ruined my face with my own hands. Since then, Iâve been staying in Winterbourne Village in Salford Province. Iâve always cooperated with Xenia like this. If anyone finds her, sheâll use this tactic to escape. Hmph! Iâm sure that it never occurred to them that this ugly woman is actually the Xara they were looking for!â
âIf I didnât see the jade pendant you dropped, Iâm sure you wouldnât have had the suspicion, am I correct?â
Xara said.
âYes! I never would have thought much about it!â
âAt first, I couldnât control my emotions well when I saw that girl who came with you. Sheâs Jasmine, isnât she? Sheâs my elder brotherâs daughter, isnât she? She must be. When she was young, I always held her in my arms. I nearly failed to hold myself back in front of her just now. Itâs because I donât want to meet anybody from the Fenderson family anymoreâ¦that was at least until I picked up the jade pendant which I left for my daughter. I lost control of myself then. My daughter. I miss her every day.
Every day of my life has been in misery from how much I miss her!
âI hated and blamed God countless times for being so unfair towards me. But now, God has finally changed his mind. My daughter is still alive, and Iâm finally going to see her!â
Xara cried as she said those words.
Gerald could certainly understand her emotions.
âBy the way, young man, whatâs your name? I heard how Mindy addressed you just now. Is your name Gerald Crawford? Do you belong to the Crawford family from Northbay?â
Xara asked.
âIâ¦â
Gerald was surprised by how quickly this woman picked up information.
He was hesitant to reply to her question.
âYou must be. I know that you were the one who called those helicopters over. Wasnât that the satellite communication device that belongs to your family? Which generation of the Crawford family do you belong to? Do you know Peter Crawford?â
Xara asked a few questions in rapid succession.
Gerald gave up his attempt to keep up the act. It seems like no secret could escape from this woman.
He then said, âI donât know which generation I belong to in the Crawford family. Iâve never heard about Peter Crawford too. But I know that thereâs someone from the Crawford family who wants to meet you.
Auntie Fenderson, There is one condition you must fulfill after I reunite you with Queta. You must come with me no matter what!â
âHmph! You do belong to the Crawford family after all. I understand, Gerald. Iâll go with you after I meet my daughter. Iâm aware that the grudge arose because of the two of us back then. Perhaps itâs finally time for us to resolve the misunderstanding, no?â
Xara touched Geraldâs head just like she was patting her child.
After that, she said, âBut Gerald, I have my own condition too. I donât know what kind of relationship you have with my nieceâJasmine. But I want you to promise me that you will never expose my identity to the public especially to the Fenderson family. Is that okay?â
