Gerald gave virtual-novel.net his word instantly.
He knew that the Fenderson family was still out looking for Xara. He of course, was no fool and did not wish to create unnecessary trouble for himself.
But, at the same time, Gerald was pretty curious about what happened between Xara and virtual-novel.net own family all those years ago.
He wanted to know in what way virtual-novel.net was related to Queta.
Realizing that Gerald was asking virtual-novel.net about it, Xara became quite frank, and virtual-novel.net started spilling out the truth without holding back.
Turns out it’s something along the lines of this.
Peter Crawford, who Xara mentioned, was the second young master from the Crawford family back then. He was young and handsome. He was also Queta’s father.
‘Through logical deduction, the man named Peter should be my uncle who my dad talked about when I was young.’
‘Back then, he’d always tell me that my uncle was working out of town, so virtual-novel.net rarely visited home.’
‘No wonder there was a sense of familiarity when I met Queta for the first time.’
‘It turns out that Queta is my cousin.’
But clearly, the grudge between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family was not that simple.
From what Xara said, it sounded like the Crawford family wanted to obtain something from the Fenderson family, which is supposedly why the grudge between them still exists after so many years.
Twenty years ago, the Crawford family sent Peter over as a spy in order to approach the Fenderson family and gain the object that they wanted.
Xara wore a sweet smile when virtual-novel.net started describing that part.
She was as lovely as a flower and devastatingly beautiful two decades ago. She was also the president of a large listed corporation under the Fenderson family. She was certainly a strong and independent woman.
And Peter had to invest much effort, just to approach Xara.
Firstly, virtual-novel.net entered the marketing department of the company.
After that, virtual-novel.net was appointed the general manager of the company because of how extremely capable virtual-novel.net was.
In two years’ time, virtual-novel.net grew very close to Xara.
Peter was dashingly handsome. His working capabilities were extremely strong too. These were the two probable factors that made Xara fall for him.
But the Fenderson family had strict family rules. From time to time, Xara would feel a spark of love between them, but due to said rules, virtual-novel.net quickly erased these feelings and denied their existence.
That was until a later incident.
After the company’s annual party, Xara was driving home alone.
On virtual-novel.net way home, virtual-novel.net was ambushed by virtual-novel.net business rivals. There were around twenty people who surrounded Xara’s car, and they wanted to kidnap her.
Luckily, Peter rushed to virtual-novel.net rescue in the nick of time. Not only was virtual-novel.net smart when it came to work, but virtual-novel.net also had a great EQ as well. To add to that, virtual-novel.net was extremely proficient in martial arts.
Despite sustaining injuries, virtual-novel.net still managed to defeat all twenty of Xara’s assailants.
He then picked virtual-novel.net up and ran off with her.
That was the classic tale of a hero rescuing a damsel in distress.
At that moment, Xara thought virtual-novel.net had finally found the man whom virtual-novel.net could rely on
for the rest of virtual-novel.net life.
After that, they recognized the feelings they had for each other, and they started seeing each other.
That was part of the reason why the resentment between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family worsened. It also led to unthinkable incidents where Queta was abandoned, Xara being booted out of the Fenderson family, and the sudden disappearance of Peter Crawford.
At first, Xara wanted to keep it a secret when virtual-novel.net found out that virtual-novel.net was pregnant. But how long could one hide away from that fact?
On that day, the truth was revealed and an uproar happened.
Peter’s identity was exposed. Angered by this incident, the patriarch of the Fenderson family ordered his subordinates to kill Peter Crawford for the wrong virtual-novel.net had committed against his family.
In order to save Peter, Xara did not hesitate to set things clear with the old patriarch and renounce virtual-novel.net membership in virtual-novel.net family. After that, virtual-novel.net stormed out of the Fenderson family, bringing along only virtual-novel.net personal maid with her.
Gerald listened to what Xara said intently.
He wasn’t feeling great. He realized that what virtual-novel.net was doing currently was more or less the same as what his uncle did in the past.
Unfortunately, his uncle was a passionate lover and a self-willed man. Too bad virtual-novel.net had to fall in love with the young lady from their mortal rivals.
Their love was destined to fail, no matter how much one struggled.
“What happened after that? If only it involved you and me…and Peter Crawford, I’m sure the hatred between the Crawford family and the Fenderson family would never be so complex. No?”
Gerald asked curiously.
