    At that moment, the doors to the vi 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. Rying 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 M now missing, why would any sort of


    rtionship 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 Vi,


    she wouldn’t havee over so angrily to meet Zack in the first ce. After all, this ce was


    supposed to be Gerald and M’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 maturepared to


    how he had been in the past. What more, he looked much sturdier and muscr 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 beentely?”


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


    your cousin? The Smiths are definitely incapable of iming a rtionship with a rtive 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’smand 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 M 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 M?” 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 M 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 M had worked hard sewing it throughout the night. Even the lopsided pair of mandarin ducks


    were still visible on the sachet.


    Rita recalledughing herself to death back then when she heard that M 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 epted 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


    M 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!”
