All Chapters of The Secretly Rich Man: Chapter 771 - Chapter 780

The person in question was Alice! He hadn’t met her in such a long time. After all that had happened, Gerald had heard that Alice had gone to Northbay. Since she was from the Department of Broadcasting and Hosting, it was only natural for her to get her internship there. However, he truly hadn’t expected to bump into her here! “Speaking of which, could you clean up the things on the floor while you’re at it? Thank you!” said the other girl without even bothering to turn back to look at him. “Will do!” Xara had made all the arrangements yet for some reason, both Drake and Tyson were left idle whereas Gerald was designated the role of a handyman who had to do all sorts of odd chores! Was it simply his fate to run errands? Regardless, it didn’t really matter too much to Gerald since he was already used to it. “Consider this to be a little vacation from all your troubles and frustrations, Alice. After all, you’ve finally managed to leave Mayberry, the place where you had ex

It was early the next morning when Alice finally woke up. Though she had drunk a lot of red wine the night before, her heart was throbbing instead of her head. Shaking it off, she took in a deep breath as she attempted to sit up. Before she could do so, however, she immediately sensed that something was wrong. Pulling her blanket to the side, she instantly shouted, startled by what she was seeing! “Hillary! Hillary!” “What’s wrong, Alice…?” replied Hillary rather groggily, awoken by Alice’s shouting. “I was wearing my other set of clothes when we were drinking last night, right? Look! Why am I in my pajamas now? Were you the one who slipped them on me?” asked Alice. “…No, I don’t think so… I was out cold after drinking so much last night… Are you still half-awake…? Who else could’ve slipped you into your pajam- …Hold on, if someone else really did help you change, then they’d have to remove all your previous clothes first, right?” said Hillary, now starting to feel nervous

“While Daryl hasn’t shown up for quite a while, that doesn’t mean that the marriage contract ceases to be valid. In fact, even though Dylan had been extremely hostile toward the Fendersons, he hasn’t sent anyone over to formally end the contract. As long as the marriage contract isn’t called off, then it’s rules still apply till the day the Crawford family chooses to acknowledge it!” explained Bryson before looking at Noah. “Do you understand what I mean now, Noah?” “…To think that the Crawfords and the Fendersons had such a history… However, since both families are still disputing against each other, then the marriage contract should, by right, be automatically called off, should it not, Lord Fenderson?” replied Noah rather reluctantly. “While it’s true that both Dylan and Daryl had a huge conflict back then, I don’t think his son would actually have the courage or audacity to privately amend or go against the rules set by his father!” “…Very well, Lord Fenderson. I’ll just pr

Gerald was now frustrated beyond words. The initial plan to make use of the Fenderson birthday banquet to rescue Queta was now at stake. To think that he would meet both Alice and Xavia back to back! There were simply too many unexpected issues popping up at the same time. If either of the girls recognized him, then the situation would definitely take a turn for the worst. What more, Gerald had just broken a wine glass and many people were already looking in his direction! D*mn it all! Gerald was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and began picking the broken glass shards off the ground. “…Eh?” While Gerald managed to quickly clean up the mess and make his hasty escape, he seemed to have also attracted another girl’s attention. The girl in question was standing right next to Jasmine. It was Mindy! ‘…Why did that young man look so similar to Gerald? This doesn’t make any sense at all! Why would that silly boy even be here at the Fenderson birthday banquet?’

Gerald himself was wondering the same thing. It looked as though some sort of conflict was going on. Everything seemed to be going fine before this. How did things end up this way? As Gerald stared at the scene in bewilderment, he could see a middle-aged woman kneeling within the crowd. The members of the families affiliated with the Fendersons seemed to be filled with rage and even Lord Fenderson himself had an ugly expression on his face. “It’s her! It’s that sinner’s maid from back then! Hurry up and tell us where Xara is now! If you speak the truth, we’ll consider sparing you!” “Remember! The Crawfords and the Fendersons only got into a huge fight back then because of her! We, the affiliated families, were the ones who had suffered the most losses because of that battle! How pitiful my son was for having to grow up in such turmoil because of her! Lord Fenderson, if you’re hiding Xara anywhere, we demand that you hand her over to us!” “That’s right! Hand her over so that y
