Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1246

Rita bit her lower lip slightly as she concluded her explanation.

“Since grandma already knows that they don’t mean well, why is she still insistent on going?” asked Gerald.

“Well, grandma said that since the Smiths haven’t done anything shameful, our spirits shouldn’t waver.

What more, Georgia’s family had invited our family over with great hospitality. With that said, there truly is no reason for us not to be straightforward and just attend,” replied Rita.

“While we’re on the topic, grandma has undoubtedly become more and more stubborn throughout the past two years… It was her birthday yesterday, you know? However, she misses Mila so much that she said that she was unwilling to celebrate it again until the day Mila finally returns!”

“…I see. Regardless, since you’re going to attend the birthday party later anyway, allow me to come with you!” replied Gerald.

Georgia belonged to the Sier family, and in a way, it was quite similar to the Smiths. After all, they were both ordinary companies that weren’t too large or small in Mayberry in the past. Unlike the Smiths, however, the Siers had been developing extremely rapidly in the past two years.

Meanwhile, Lady Smith had just arrived at Georgia’s villa along with the others from the Smith family.

The villa itself was a top-notch structure that had quite recently been built in Cloud City. With its construction price being over twelve million dollars, the building was considered to be quite prestigious, topped only by a few other villas inclusive of Mountain Top Villa.

Regardless, upon entering Georgia’s home, the Smiths found that many of the guests there were unfamiliar faces.

Even so, just as Serenity had told them time and again, despite having lost Mila, the Smiths couldn’t just remain cowardly and simply hide at home. They still had to be daring to head out and meet others!

Anyway, seconds upon their entry, all of the Smiths were greeted by the sight of a sixty-year-old woman—who was being supported by a boy and a girl on either side of her—whose face was beaming as she walked toward Serenity and her family.

Had the guests not known that today was the old woman’s birthday, it wouldn’t have been a stretch to assume that she was the reincarnation of Queen Elizabeth the second!

Of course, she was none other than the current head of the Sier family, Lady Georgia Walford.

While Georgia and Serenity were rather good friends from when they were young, their relationship had always been rather hard to describe, especially as the two besties continued growing up with each other.

Putting it simply, both of them enjoyed competing with each other rather unrealistically. As kids, they’d compete with each other to see whose clothes were nicer. When they started studying, they began competing to see who got better grades instead. Even after entering society, they continued competing by seeing whose job was better and who married a better husband. Now that they were old, they were still competing by seeing whose family was stronger. Aside from that, they also enjoyed comparing their children with each other, competing to see who had more capable and outstanding offspring.

Even after doing it for so many years, both of them simply continued being competitive. They were just that kind of people.

Regardless, the second the old woman saw Serenity and her family entering, Georgia could already feel the sky being particularly blue that day.

“You’re late, Serenity! I had just brought some old friends of mine over to have a look at the birthday gifts that had been given to me! Why don’t you head over there later to have a look for yourself? In the meantime, I’ll be moving around to serve all the other guests present! There’s just so many of them, you know? Regardless, since a few of my grandsons-in-law and granddaughters-in-law haven’t presented their gifts to me yet, you aren’t too late to the party! In fact, I’d say that you’re just in time to see them present their gifts to me!” said Georgia in a humble tone and a delighted smile on her face.

Gavin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed upon hearing Georgia’s statement. Were there even that many guests present?

Serenity herself began displaying an even more unpleasant expression than she had before. However, she quickly forced on a smile before replying, “It seems that you’re truly leading a good life now, Georgia! A stark contrast to how poor you and your family were when you were younger! I still remember that it was always your family who had to send gifts to others back then! Good for you now that others are sending gifts to you instead!”

Lady Smith wasn’t about to show any weakness before Georgia anytime soon. Georgia herself instantly felt her expression stiffen upon hearing that.

Even so, both the old ladies were extremely slick, and neither of them were going to reveal their true emotions without a fight.

“Indeed! Now that I’m much older, I get to enjoy all my wealth and happiness together with my family!

Speaking of which, my grandson-in-law got me a new car a while back, you know? I’m already over sixty! I wonder what he was thinking when he bought that new car…” said Georgia as she faked a sigh while making sure to pay attention to Serenity’s reaction.

Back then, her grandson had liked Mila a lot. Due to an extremely powerful and rich heir becoming her boyfriend, however, his chance of being together with Mila was shattered. That caused her grandson to suffer a broken heart for quite a long time. Naturally, Georgia had been sad to see her grandson in such a state as well.
