Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1247

Regardless, everything was fine now. After all, her granddaughter had gone missing and that rich heir boyfriend of

hers had most definitely forgotten about the Smiths by now.

“Still, remember how my grandson had constantly tried to gain Mila’s affection for a time, Serenity? I wonder if

you’re regretting allowing Mila to turn him down now… Though I’m sure you didn’t have much say in that… After

all, it’s a matter that concerns only the children! Even so, as the head of the family, you should’ve been a bit

stricter in deciding for her, don’t you think? If only you had been, then Mila wouldn’t have acted out of spite and

continued furthering her studies in Hong Kong! If that didn’t happen, she could have already married my grandson

now and opened a company together! Now wouldn’t that have been great!” declared Georgia as several of the

guests who heard that began shaking their heads.

“Indeed! What an absolute pity!”

As comments about the situation continued being said aloud, those from the Smith family found themselves

blushing deeply. This was especially so for both Gavin and Helen, the parents of the missing girl.

With Georgia mentioning Mila’s name so many times and continuing to poke their sore spots, the parents couldn’t

help but get teary and red-eyed.

The two weren’t the only ones saddened either. Mila had been Serenity’s most adored granddaughter, and the old

woman had watched Mila grow from when the girl was just a baby.

With Georgia saying all this to her face now, all sorts of emotions were beginning to brew within Serenity, and none

of them were good feelings.

To think that those people had continuously tried to fawn on them back when Mila was still together with that rich

Gerald… Now that they knew that Gerald was no longer supporting them, however, it seemed like they were taking

all their past compliments back. In fact, nothing seemed to please them more now than enjoying the misfortune of

the Smiths.

Understanding that, the old lady remained silent and simply sat down at a table, her family doing the same soon

after.

For the next hour, the Smiths simply remained seated there, observing the expressions of the other guests. By

then, several of them had been sitting so still that they found themselves having pins and needles. Just as they were

feeling that they were nearing their limit to how much more shame they could take, a servant suddenly walked into

the villa with a man and a woman following behind him.

The duo was, of course, Gerald and Rita.

Since Serenity’s health hadn’t been all that well recently, Rita had been staying close to her at all times to take care

of her. However, since Rita had earlier heard that Mountain Top Villa was getting demolished, she wasn’t able to

stick by her grandma’s side till now.

When those from the Smith family saw who was standing beside Rita, all of them ended up gaping in bewilderment

as they simultaneously muttered, “…Gerald?”

All the smiths felt like they were dreaming. It truly was none other than Gerald! But… Why would Gerald be with

Rita? And why was he even here today?

Needless to say, everyone was overcome with extreme shock.

“…Oh? Is that Rita I see? Why have you only arrived now? Regardless, who’s that beside you? Could he be your

boyfriend?” asked Georgia as soon as she saw the two who had just entered.

Since Georgia was quite close with Serenity, she knew Serenity’s relatives and friends well. That said, she also knew

that Rita was Serenity’s niece, and that she was also a favorite of that old woman aside from Mila. With that in

mind, it was natural that she felt the need to inquire about the new face.

Shortly after Georgia’s question, Justin Sier—her grandson—and his recently married wife began walking over.

Seeing that, her granddaughter—Quin Sier—and her husband walked over to the group as well.

“Grandma,” said both of them in unison as Justin took a peek at Rita.

Following that, he laughed rather bitterly before saying, “It’s been quite a while since we’ve last met, Rita! Not only

have you become prettier, but it also seems like you already have someone now!”

“Who is she, hubby? Are you close to Rita?” asked a gorgeously-dressed woman who was standing beside Justin.

“Hmm? Oh, she’s the person I mentioned to you before! Mila’s cousin! It’s a pity though, she could’ve been my

cousin back then as well! Oh well!” sneered Justin.

“Ah, I see!” replied the woman in a cold tone.

From that alone, it was evident that Justin had already told her about the incident of him going to the Smith family’s

home to propose to Mila.

“Justin, you can’t just greet Rita when her boyfriend’s standing right next to her. Go ahead and greet him as well!”

said Georgia while scanning the ordinarily-dressed Gerald from head to toe.

Since Rita had always been an arrogant and proud girl, Georgia had no idea why she would get herself a person like

that. After all, Gerald looked vastly different from all the other rich heirs there.
