The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 872
He was a man in his sixties but he looked as if he was only 50. He had a pair of sharp and bright eyes that would create a sense of unease in the person who stood before his gaze.
âWhy canât we collaborate?â Parker asked.
âMaster Parker, I understand that your son was rescued by the Yalemans and that you owe them the favor. However, you broke the rules when you made a promise with them to help out the Crawfords!â
âBut you must know that Crawfordâs eldest heir, Gerald, has offended one of my good friends, the Long family. Hence, I demand an explanation from you folks on behalf of the Long family!â
âDo you think youâll still be able to help them now?â Kort said.
Even though Kort addressed the 90-year-old Parker as âMasterâ, he was just the third master of the family and Kort was one step above him. Kort, being the Second Master, had a position that was higher than that of Parker in the family.
âLong family?â Gerald started pondering what the Long family had to do with the Moldells.
Jessica and himself had been at odds with the Long family for quite some time now, so what kind of explanation was Kort demanding?
âNice to meet you, Master Kort. forgive me but, what sort of explanation are you demanding?â Dylan asked with a smile.
âHah, thatâs simple. I demand half of Crawfordsâ assets be transferred to the Long family. As long as this is done, I shall not ask for anything more!â Kort sneered.
âHow arrogant!â
The Crawfords looked at each other. They were stunned by Kortâs request.
Crawfordâs assets? Half was too much, even a millesimal of that amount would be more than enough for the entire Long family. Kort was out of his mind! He was definitely not seeking an explanation but trying to rob the Crawford family!â
Gerald frowned.
âMaster Crawford, please consider this offer. If my friends arenât pleased, Iâm not sure what I will be forced to do in order to make the Crawfords pay for their wrongs. I believe you wouldnât question my powers right?â Kort smiled as he said.
He came in without registering because he wanted to deter the Crawfords.
If only the Crawfords knew that he was coming to exact his revenge, they would have tried to stop him at all cost!
âMaster Kort, isnât demanding half of their assets slightly too much? Theyâre the Long family weâre talking about. Theyâre nothing! How dare they demand half of Crawfordâs assets?â Yselle stood up.
The Moldell family was actually divided into a few branches and Kort was a leader of one of the branches.
Everyone in the Moldell family knew that Kort was a man of the world. If we looked at the number of women he had around him, he had at least a handful of them at all times. That was why Yselle and Winnie despise Kort.
Including Parker, everyone in the Moldell family knew that Kort was not trying to appease the Long family. No, instead, he was trying to stir up a conflict with the Crawfords, with this as merely his excuse to do so.
Kort has taken over a few family businesses with this method. Even though he would never admit to such acts, rumor has it that the large family that Kort has secretly established came about exactly like that!
âYselle, is that how you talk to your elders? Master Parker, I believe you would not interfere in this matter, yes? Even if you wish to, you have to think about the consequences. Is it worth exposing the Crawfords to such risks?â Kort hinted at Parker.
Parker was furious but he remained silent nonetheless.
Kort was too powerful for Parker to fend against.
âMaster Crawford, Iâll give you thirty minutes to consider my offer. I want an answer half an hour later!
No more, and no less!â Kort then left with his peopleâ¦
