Spoiler

Not a novel reader so I'm not really sure but that guy's probably not fred...
Possibly maybe Fred's enmy or something like that who's into Fred's wealth...

Just my assumptions though

No i get that its obviously not him, thats why i need the novel spoilers. I wanna know who is behind it.

Read a spoiler here in earlier chapter that days

He's a friend of the dead husband. He knows a little about the family because the dead husband told him during his travel.

just him i think. im retty sure thats the real harris or morris or whatever who just want to swindle money. he swindled fred too and left him to die most likely and set his eyes on mil to swindle more money

I hope he's only meant to try to swindle her. And not try to do anything else. I'm sorry but why does my mother lion is protecting her Cubs from a predator, sensors going up? I hope he's not creepy, you know? Like he's a scammer but a gentleman scammer? Like he wouldn't cross lines with her or her girls.
