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


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


    After hearing his exnation 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 epted 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 M’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 M 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 rtives and friends of the Smith family knew


    that M’s boyfriend was an extremely capable and powerful man. After all, he had purchased them a


    vi that cost at least fifteen million dors! 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-inw 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 M’s mysterious


    boyfriend.


    The second M disappeared, however, huge changes began taking ce within the Smith family.


    Since Serenity Jordain—who was the olddy of the Smith family and also M’s grandmother—was a


    person with great pride and dignity, she quickly returned the vi 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 M 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 M and his uncle, he had to admit that he had


    ignored M’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 M’s


    disappearance, recently she’s been constantly inviting all my family members over to her ce!”


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


    see, since M 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 Vi was going to be demolished, I’d have attended the party as well!”
