    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (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 M’s affection for a time, Serenity? I


    wonder if you’re regretting allowing M 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 M


    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 apany together! Now


    wouldn’t that have been great!” dered Georgia as several of the guests who heard that began


    shaking their heads.


    “Indeed! What an absolute pity!”


    Asments 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 M’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. M had been Serenity’s most adored granddaughter,


    and the old woman had watched M 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 M 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 pastpliments back. In fact, nothing seemed to please them


    more now than enjoying the misfortune of the Smiths.


    Understanding that, the olddy 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 vi 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 Vi 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 ovee 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 rtives 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 M. 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, heughed rather bitterly before saying, “It’s been quite a while since we’vest met,


    Rita! Not only have you be 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! M’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 M.


    “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.
