Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1244

At that moment, the doors to the villa were opened, and in stepped a few bodyguards, dragging Rita along with

them.

Rita herself was struggling quite a bit to get free as she shouted, “Unhand me! Unhand me this instant!”

“Cease this at once!” shouted Gerald as he immediately began walking over to them.

“…Gerald?” muttered Rita in a rather surprised tone the second she saw him.

From the moment her cousin had gone missing, she hadn’t met or even heard any news about Gerald.

Snapping out of her shock quickly, Rita then thought to herself, ‘Humph… Gerald Crawford… The rich heir of the

Crawford family with near-endless wealth… Being so powerful, I had my doubts that you’d still think fondly about

my cousin after all this time… Hell, you never even contacted us from the day she went missing! You probably don’t

even care about whether my cousin’s dead or still alive!’

Back then, Gerald had only sent Zack over to pacify the Smiths. Relaying what Gerald had told him, Zack told them

that they could ask him for help if they ever faced any issues. The Crawfords would definitely try their best to help

the Smiths regardless of their requests.

Even so, those from the Smith family knew that Gerald had only said that out of courtesy since Mr. Crawford was

attempting to express his regret. After all, with Mila now missing, why would any sort of relationship still exist

between Gerald and the Smiths? The Smiths were well aware that they truly had no reason to continue being

involved with such a wealthy family anymore.

Understanding that, they simply rejected any financial support that Zack provided them with.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for the fact that Rita had found out that they were demolishing Mountain Top Villa, she

wouldn’t have come over so angrily to meet Zack in the first place. After all, this place was supposed to be Gerald

and Mila’s wedding house.

‘Even though Gerald knows about that… Humph! How ungrateful!’ Rita thought to herself, a great wrath within her.

Even so, after two years of not meeting him, Gerald appeared to be much more mature compared to how he had

been in the past. What more, he looked much sturdier and muscular as well, an aura of prestigious superiority

surrounding him.

Regardless, Gerald nodded at Rita before saying, “Rita! My cousin! I hope you’re doing well! How’ve you been

lately?”

“Humph! Like I’d dare to trouble you with my concerns, Mr. Crawford! And since when have I become your cousin?

The Smiths are definitely incapable of claiming a relationship with a relative such as yourself!” sneered Rita.

“You b*tch! How dare you talk to Mr. Crawford like that?!” shouted the guards as soon as they heard Rita’s mockery.

“There’s no need to shout on my behalf! Stand down!” growled Gerald as the guards immediately heeded his words

and left respectfully.

Gerald’s command had been so domineering that everyone who heard it felt chills run down their spines and simply

felt the urge to revere him. Even Rita felt the same thing, and as she looked oddly at Gerald, she thought to herself,

‘It’s just been two years, has it not? How could he have undergone such a massive change…?’

She was right to feel that it was strange. After all, he had previously been a coward yet now…

“Listen, Rita, I know that we’ve had some misunderstandings and I admit that Mila going missing is my fault for not

taking good care of her. Due to that, my responsibility to find her again. Tell me, do you honestly think that I’ve

already forgotten about Mila?” asked Gerald as he looked into her eyes.

“Haven’t you?” asked Rita in a casual tone.

Hearing that, Gerald carefully retrieved a small sachet from his pocket and when Rita saw it, she was instantly

stunned.

It was the handmade present that Mila had given Gerald back then. Since she had just learned how to sew from her

mother at the time, the sachet itself wasn’t very well made. However, Rita remembered that Mila had worked hard

sewing it throughout the night. Even the lopsided pair of mandarin ducks were still visible on the sachet.

Rita recalled laughing herself to death back then when she heard that Mila was going to give such a poor excuse of

handicraft to the man she loved most. She had been certain that Gerald would’ve chosen to disregard her poor

handiwork and simply accepted the sachet with disdain.

To think, however, that he still had it with him till this very day…

“I never forget even the smallest details in my life, so you can be sure that I won’t ever forget about Mila either!

I’ve constantly been looking for her throughout these two years, and as long as I know there’s a chance that I can

still locate her, I’m willing to go to the very ends of the world just to get her back! With that said, I hope you now

believe me when I say that you’ve misunderstood me, Rita!”
