Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1249

Suddenly hearing all this truly touched every single one of the Smiths, including Serenity. They now finally realized that they had misunderstood Gerald this entire time, and that Mila hadn’t misjudged him.

Regardless, the atmosphere of the setting instantly changed rather drastically now that Gerald was here. Though not many of the guests had even paid the Smiths any attention earlier, more and more of them were now heading over to their table to toast and chat with them in hopes of being able to deepen their relationship with that family. Of course, there were also those who immediately began fawning on the Smiths as well.

Even a few of the presidents were already surrounding Serenity while saying, “Speaking of which, it was your birthday yesterday, wasn’t it, Madam? Why didn’t you send us invitation cards to attend?

Such a pity that we weren’t able to celebrate with you… Whatever the case is, we’ll certainly make up for it later!”

With all this happening, the person who was suffering the most was most definitely Georgia.

After all, she had initially invited Serenity and her family over to show off her grandson, granddaughter-

in-law, and grandson-in-law. To think that Mila’s powerful boyfriend would make a sudden reappearance out of the blue! She definitely needed to be respectful toward him! However, that wasn’t even the biggest shock for her.

Gulping, Georgia then asked, “…Madam, what did you say his name was…? Mr. Crawford? Which Mr.

Crawford are you referring to, exactly…?”

The second the guests heard Georgia’s question, all of them instantly fell silent in shock. After all, everyone present was well aware of who Mr. Crawford was, especially since they were in Mayberry.

Hearing his name alone was enough to cause everyone to become momentarily stupefied.

“Which other Mr. Crawford would you assume him to be? Of course he’s the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry! I bumped into him while I was at Mountain Top Villa, you know?” replied Rita as she took a peek at the guests’ reactions.

Mr. Crawford from Mayberry? Mountain Top Villa?!

Who could remain calm after hearing all this? At that moment, multiple screeching of chairs—being pushed against the floor—could be heard as everyone immediately stood up, flabbergasted expressions on their faces.

Georgia was now barely able to breathe herself.

“Could it really be true? Could Mila’s extremely powerful and wealthy boyfriend truly be Mr. Crawford from Mayberry?”

“Thinking about it now, it shouldn’t be fake! After all, Mila and Mr. Crawford both graduated from Mayberry University! We also know that her boyfriend is exceedingly rich! With that in mind, I have reason to believe that he truly is Mr. Crawford!”

“Oh god! We should have figured out earlier that Mila’s boyfriend was actually Mr. Crawford!”

While all of them were feeling bewildered as they discussed this sudden revelation, they were simultaneously filled with regret. Why hadn’t they just continued maintaining a good relationship with the Smiths? If they had, they would’ve definitely become both prosperous and successful by now.

Staggering slightly, the panting Georgia had to be supported by the two children again to avoid falling.

She needed to head over to greet Gerald right this instant!

‘Oh god! He truly is the real Mr. Crawford! He even introduced himself as the son-in-law of the Smith family! There is absolutely no way we’ll ever be able to compete with Serenity’s family now!’

Though Georgia had initially seen fluffy white clouds in the blue sky, all the clouds were now dark and thunder was flashing ever so often. Her heart was completely desolate now.

Just as Justin himself was about to head over to Gerald to kneel as a sign of his respect, Yana Shute—

his wife—suddenly said in a doubtful tone, “…Something’s off… Why does he look so familiar… The more I look at him, the more I feel like I’ve met him somewhere before…”

“What’s wrong, Yana? What do you mean he looks familiar? Regardless, head over there quickly and help us apologize to Mr. Crawford for neglecting him earlier! He’s clearly the real deal!” said Georgia.

“…Hold on, grandma! There’s no need to be so nervous! I… I think that he isn’t really Mr. Crawford!”

said Yana as she held onto her grandmother’s shoulder.

“…What? Why would you make such a bold claim?”

“Call it a gut feeling, but I’m fairly certain that he used to be my classmate when I was much younger…

The more I look at him, the more he resembles that old classmate of mine!”
