Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1248

Georgia had purposefully raised her voice to ensure that everyone there heard her.

Now that everyone’s attention was on Gerald, Justin smiled subtly before saying, “Ah, so you’re my cousin-in-law! A pleasure to meet you!”

He showed no interest in even wanting to shake hands with Gerald, and his wife simply stared at Rita’s boyfriend, sizing him up from her husband’s side. While Gerald certainly didn’t dress luxuriously, she just had a gut feeling that something was wrong with him.

“Since you’re so exceptional, I believe that your boyfriend must be equally as excellent as well! Do introduce him to us!” said Georgia.

“Apologies, Lady Walford, but he isn’t my boyfriend,” replied Rita as she turned to look at the rest of her family who were still seated at the table.

The Smiths hadn’t even recovered from their shock yet, and their mouths simply remained wide open as they continued staring at the duo in silence. Even Serenity hadn’t been able to regain her wits in time to reply.

“…Oh? So he isn’t your boyfriend? Then what position does he have to own a right to be here today?”

‘What on earth are you trying to pull off here…?’ Georgia found herself thinking.

“This here, is Gerald. And he has every right to be here today since he’s Mila’s fiancé!” explained Rita.

“…What? Mila’s… fiancé? But how could that be? Hasn’t she gone missing for at least two years?

Shouldn’t her boyfriend have broken up with her a long time ago?” replied Georgia.

She was well aware that Mila’s boyfriend was extremely powerful. After all, he had completely overshadowed them back when Mila was still around. Now that Rita had said such a thing, all the guests in the villa immediately fell silent as they stared at Gerald.

“…Mila’s Fiancé? Him? Is she for real?”

“What on earth is happening…?”

As the others whispered among themselves while discussing the current situation, Gerald said, “Though Mila isn’t here at the moment, I’d like to assume that I’m already part of the Smith family since both of us have already been in a relationship for such a long time. What more, we’ve already decided to marry each other! With that in mind, I’m sure you won’t blame me for coming over since you invited the rest of the Smith family here today anyway, right Lady Walford?”

While it was true that Gerald was using his engagement with Mila as his excuse to be here, he wasn’t lying about both of them verbally agreeing to marry each other. Though Gerald had planned to get engaged with Mila after her studies ended in Hong Kong, well… All that happened.

Regardless, after hearing what Gerald had to say, Georgia and the rest of the guests instantly became stunned.

“Holy cr*p! Is he really the same boyfriend from before? The extremely wealthy man?!”

“From the looks of it, he truly is! Oh god, he’s here!”

As Georgia felt chills run down her spine after hearing all the exclamations of surprise from the guests, she composed herself before saying, “…But of course I wouldn’t mind! In fact, it’s an honor to our family that you could come!”

Following that, she retracted her hands from the two lovely children who had been supporting her this entire time. There was no need for her to be pretentious before Gerald.

With that, Gerald and Rita then headed over to the table where Serenity and the others were currently seated at.

“Grandma, Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Smith! I’ve returned!” said Gerald as he looked at them with a smile.

“M-Mister Crawford! W-we…” stuttered Serenity who felt like she had just awoken from a long dream.

After all, the Smiths had already assumed that Gerald had long forgotten about them in the past two years.

“I promise that regardless of what happens to Mila, I’ll take care of everything in the future,” said Gerald before all the members of the Smith family.

Hearing that, several of the Smiths including Mila’s elder sister, Irene, began crying in excitement.

They truly had suffered way too much injustice in the past two years.
