Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1245

“…Is… Is that really true…?” asked Rita.

After hearing his explanation and seeing the sachet again, Rita had to admit that she was starting to believe him

slightly. It also helped that she knew how Gerald was as a person, at least in the past. Regardless, he didn’t seem

like the kind of person who would just forget someone he loved that much.

“I’m saying it now that I’ve never personally contacted you throughout these two years since I was too ashamed to

stand before any of the Smiths. Why do you think I kept sending Zack over to help you? Even so, Zack’s told me

that none of you have accepted any of my gifts. Is that true?” asked Gerald who hadn’t really questioned their

decision before.

“It is. The Smiths have their own dignity to maintain too, you know? Since Mila’s gone missing and both of you

aren’t even married, what right do we have to take your things? At least that’s what my grandma keeps saying!”

replied Rita now that Gerald had cleared up some initial misunderstandings that she had with him.

With that, she had no problem with detailing how the Smith family was currently doing.

As it turned out, ever since Mila went missing, the Smiths had constantly been enshrouded in gloominess. For the

longest time, the loss had been so suppressing that even breathing was sometimes difficult. The mocking and

sneering from others only made the Smiths feel like they were continuing to drown even deeper.

The mockery itself had stemmed from the fact that the relatives and friends of the Smith family knew that Mila’s

boyfriend was an extremely capable and powerful man. After all, he had purchased them a villa that cost at least

fifteen million dollars! A person capable of that must surely be immensely wealthy!

However, since Gerald’s identity was special, the Smiths had never publicly revealed that their future grandson-in-

law was actually the rich heir from Mayberry, Mr. Crawford. Regardless, with so many good things happening to the

Smiths, it made many friends of the family both admire and envy them. Many of them even tried their best to fawn

on the Smiths in their attempts to befriend Mila’s mysterious boyfriend.

The second Mila disappeared, however, huge changes began taking place within the Smith family.

Since Serenity Jordain—who was the old lady of the Smith family and also Mila’s grandmother—was a person with

great pride and dignity, she quickly returned the villa that Gerald had given to them once she realized that her

granddaughter wasn’t going to be found anytime soon. With that decision made, the Smiths then returned to where

they initially lived.

Serenity even made it a point to reject any charity that Gerald attempted to give their family.

‘With my granddaughter now missing, what would the Smiths even be to Mr. Crawford? There’s no need for us to

continue fawning over him so shamelessly!’ That was pretty much Lady Smith’s thought process at the time.

Due to that, they returned to their original lives. Even if people enjoyed their misfortune, so be it.

“…I see. So all of you simply assumed that I had already given up on Mila this entire time, is that right…?” asked

Gerald as he took in a deep breath, hints of guilt in his voice.

Though he had been extremely focused on looking for Mila and his uncle, he had to admit that he had ignored

Mila’s family. Realizing that now only intensified his guilt.

In response, Rita simply nodded.

“…Then, is Mr. Smith, grandma, and the others doing fine…? Please bring me along. I wish to meet up with them,”

said Gerald in a serious tone.

“There’s no way they could be fine… Today’s the birthday of one of grandma’s childhood friends, you know? While

that friend of hers ceased contact with grandma as soon as she heard about Mila’s disappearance, recently she’s

been constantly inviting all my family members over to her place!”

“It’s extremely evident—at least to those sensible enough—what Georgia Walford means by this. You see, since Mila

already had you back then, my family had rejected Georgia’s grandson’s marriage proposal, and boy did they

resent that fact. Regardless, Georgia’s family is quite amazing now, and her grandson even ended up marrying a

nice granddaughter. With that in mind, she’s clearly been constantly inviting us over just so that she could show off

in front of my grandma. Truth be told, if I hadn’t heard that Mountain Top Villa was going to be demolished, I’d have

attended the party as well!”
