Chapter 776
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 776
Naturally, Noah never had the audacity or courage to ask the Fendersons about things regarding his sonâs marriage. After all, the Fendersons were still the Schuylerâs main affiliate family.
However, since such a massive event was taking place today, Noah took the initiative to finally ask about it, just to see how the old master would reply.
In response, Bryson frowned. With a wry smile on his face, he then said, âAre you proposing a marriage between Jasmine and Yael?â
âWell, Iâm afraid that it all boils down to what Jasmine has to say about the matter. After all, marriage is the personal affair of young people! You should allow the younger generation to deal with this matter on their own!â
Hearing this made Noah slightly upset, as he knew that his proposal had just been indirectly denied.
After all, Brysonâs granddaughter clearly didnât have any interest in Yael at all.
âAs parents, weâre naturally our childrenâs matchmakers. Lord Fenderson, I truly believe that as long as you suggest it, Jasmine will have no other choice but to obey! After all, to children, our commands are as good as the law. Unless you feel that Yael isnât worthy enough to be together with Jasmineâ¦? Do you fear that heâll end up embarrassing the Fenderson family?â asked Noah, adamant on pressing on.
âHahaha! Thatâs not the case at all!â replied Bryson as he laughed.
At that moment, the study room door creaked open and Jasmine walked in.
âHereâs the list of guests and the schedule of events for today. Do have a look at it, grandpa.â
Jasmineâs main responsibility of the day was to be in charge of the event.
âYou can just leave it on my table. I can rest assured with you in charge.â
âSpeaking of which, Jasmine, you came at the right time! Lord Fenderson and I were just talking about you!â said Noah as he looked at her.
âOh? You were talking about me, Uncle Schuyler? What a great honor!â replied Jasmine, a cold smile on her face.
âIndeed! See, I was just discussing with Lord Fenderson about your marriage with Yael⦠You arenât young anymore, Jasmine, and itâs about time you thought about your future and marriage! Since both you and Yael have known each other since childhood, both of you will definitely be the perfect couple!â
said Noah with a smile.
âApologies, Uncle Schuyler, but Iâm not interested in marriage at the moment! In the meantime, your son should look for someone else!â replied Jasmine in a cold voice.
Since Jasmine wasnât giving him any face at all, Noahâs face immediately turned red in anger.
Bryson simply laughed as he said, âCalm yourself, Noah. Since weâre already talking about this, Iâll just make things clear now. Even if Jasmine and Yael do end up in a relationship, they will never get married in the end. After all, Jasmineâs already been destined to be with someone else from the day she was born.â
The moment they heard Brysonâs words, both Jasmine and Noah were startled speechless.
âWhat do you mean by that, Lord Fenderson?â
Even Jasmine was looking at her grandfather in surprise as Noah asked that question.
âItâs a long story. Before that, Iâm sure that both of you know about the bad blood between our family and the Crawfords, right?â asked Bryson.
With a cold expression on his face, Noah then frowned before nodding.
âWell, both families were already hostile with each other even from the previous generation. While we were constantly fighting in secret back then, there was also a period of peace between the families. At the time, Daryl Crawford was the head of the Crawford family. His son, Dylan, is the current Crawford family head. When we were much younger, Daryl and I were both close friends, up to the point where I could even call him my brother. Once both of us inherited the positions of family heads, we were able to momentarily end the dispute between the Crawfords and the Fendersons! To ensure that the peace continued, we formed an alliance. However, there was one condition to said allianceâ¦â
ââ¦It⦠Couldnât be⦠Was it a contractual marriage?â asked Jasmine in surprise.
âIt was indeed. By coincidence, both you and Darylâs grandson were born on the same day, month, and even year! Because of that, both of us came up with the idea of a marriage contract and I agreed to let you get married to Darylâs grandson!â
âHowever, things went south when Daryl had a fierce argument with his son. Because of that, he decided to let go of the matter, forgetting everything else. Once that happened, he no longer spoke about anything regarding the Crawfords. Dylan himself was an extremely arrogant and domineering person. He preferred relying on his own efforts and abilities over forming alliances. His goal was to get the Fenderson family to surrender to the Crawfords! That was the reason why the disputes between the two families began again. It was around then when the matter regarding your aunt happened⦠After that, the Crawfords and the Fendersons completely ended all their relations.â
