Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 919
And something important it was. Knowing full well that the Fenderson family had almost been wiped out due to his
carelessness, Bryson was going to take responsibility for the incident no matter what.
After things calmed down a bit, Bryson thought about how they were nearly eliminated by a vassal family. If all that
could happen under his rule, then he admitted that he was getting old and unreliable. The fact that he couldn’t
defend himself without help was further proof that it was finally time for change.
It explained why the mood of the Fenderson family meeting this time was so different. Everyone had their heads
lowered as they waited for Bryson to speak.
Coughing to break the silence and get everyone’s attention, Bryson cleared his throat before saying, “I… have
some very important news to announce today… This announcement will also be the very last decision that I’ll make
as the head of this family!”
Hearing that, everyone lifted their heads as they looked at the old man.
“Listen closely, for the next head of the Fendersons will be Jasmine! I’m far too old now, and though Second and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThird are both equally mature and reliable, I’m afraid they’re far too complacent. They’re both more suited to be
supporters than leaders, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Regardless, after careful consideration, I truly
believe that Jasmine will be the one who will help develop and recover our family’s glory!” announced Bryson.
As soon as his declaration ended, the entire meeting hall was abuzz with people discussing their opinions aloud.
Jasmine herself hadn’t expected the meeting to be about her.
Standing up, she then said, “While I’m honored to have been selected, I simply can’t take the position of head,
grandpa! I’m still far too young and there’s still a lot for me to learn. I’m certain that I won’t be able to handle the
position of leader yet. What more, up till this point, there haven’t been any female leaders in the Fenderson family!”
replied Jasmine who honestly felt she wasn’t ready for such responsibility.
In response, Bryson simply raised a single hand, prompting everyone to go silent.
“There’s no need to discuss this any further. My decision is final. While I’m sure that you’re doubtful about the
whole thing, I believe in you, Jasmine. I believe that even if you were to marry the person you love, you’ll still end up
becoming an excellent family head. As for the rest of you, you should already know by now that I’d never appoint
someone to be leader without a valid reason! Speaking of being a leader, I’ll be granting you your first long-term
task now, Jasmine! I see a lot of potential among those from your uncles’ third and fourth generations. From today
onward, you’re responsible for training up the third and fourth generations to become better leaders!” concluded
Bryson.
Upon hearing that, everyone started calming down again.
They were honestly most worried about the fact that the Fenderson would have to change their family surname
once Jasmine got married to another person and bore a child. However, with Bryson sounding so sure with his final
decision, the crowd was swept with a new determination.
“I… I fully support the decision to let Miss Jasmine be the head of the Fendersons!” shouted one of the family
members.
“As do I!”
“You’ve definitely earned it!”
Bryson found himself smiling as he watched both his own family and the vassal families cheering on for Jasmine.
“There, you heard the people, Jasmine. With them supporting you, there really isn’t a reason for you to turn down
the position anymore. With that, I declare that from today onward, you, Jasmine Fenderson, will be the new head of
our family!” said Bryson aloud.
Once the meeting ended, Bryson made his way back to his room, his butler supporting him as everyone else went
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmover to congratulate Jasmine.
As Jasmine thanked all of them rather reluctantly, she couldn’t help but notice something at the last minute. Where
was Mindy?
The usually noisy girl hadn’t been seen throughout the entire meeting… Once the crowd gave her some space,
Jasmine walked over to Mindy’s butler before asking, “Have you seen Mindy?”
She was at least certain that Mindy had been with her when both of them returned to the Fenderson family
mansion earlier.
“Oh, Miss Mindy drove off before the meeting started! She said she was going to look for someone!”
“What? Look for someone?” repeated Jasmine, stunned.
It took her a second, but she finally realized what Mindy’s goal was. As the realization set within her, she mumbled,
“Could you have gone out searching for Sanderson without me…?”
While Jasmine herself treated Sanderson like a good friend, she knew how much more Mindy treasured him. What
more, he was now essentially missing because of their family’s issues!
Shaking her head, Jasmine said, “Get the car ready. It’s currently still too dangerous for her to be wandering outside
alone!”
“Right away, Miss Jasmine!”
