Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 1244

At that moment, the villa door opened, and several bodyguards stepped in, dragging Rita along with them.

Rita herself fought hard to get away as she shouted, “Take me off! Let go of me right now!”

"Stop this at once!" gerald shouted as he immediately started walking towards them.

“...Gerald?” rita muttered in a somewhat surprised tone as soon as she saw him.

Ever since her cousin went missing, she had never met or even heard any news about Gerald.

Shocked from her surprise quickly, Rita then thought to herself, 'Huh.. Gerald Crawford, I doubt you're still thinking about my cousin lovingly. After all this time.Fuck, you haven't even contacted us since he disappeared! You may not even care if my cousin is dead or alive!'

Back then, Gerald had only sent Zack to appease the Smiths. Delivering what Gerald said to him, Zack tells them that they can ask for his help if they encounter any problems. The Crawford family will definitely try their best to help the Smith family regardless of their request.

Even so, the people from the Smith family knew that Gerald only said that out of courtesy because Mr. Crawford was trying to express his regret. After all, with Mila now gone, why would any connection still exist between Gerald and the Smith family? The Smiths were well aware that they really had no reason to continue to be involved with such a wealthy family anymore.

Understanding that, they simply refused any financial backing Zack gave them.

To be honest, if not for the fact that Rita found out that they destroyed the Mountain Peak Villa, she would not have come furiously to meet Zack. After all, this place was supposed to be Gerald and Mila's wedding house.

'Although Gerald knew about it ... Huh! How ungrateful!' Rita thought inwardly, a great anger within her.

Even so, after two years of not meeting her, Gerald seemed much more mature compared to her past self. Moreover, he appeared to be much stronger and muscular, an aura of prestigious superiority surrounding him.

Regardless, Gerald nodded at Rita before saying, “Rita! My cousin! I hope you're okay! How you been lately?”

“You ******! How dare you talk to Mr Crawford like that?!” the guards shouted as soon as they heard Rita's taunts.

“No need to shout on my behalf! Downhill!" gerald growled as the guards immediately heeded his words and left respectfully.

Gerald's command was so domineering that everyone who heard it felt goosebumps and only felt the urge to adore him. Even Rita felt the same way, and when she looked at Gerald strangely, she thought, 'It's only been two years, isn't it? How could he undergo such a huge change…?'

He rightly felt that it was strange. After all, he was previously a coward yet now …

“Listen, Rita, I know we have some misunderstandings and I admit that Mila missing is my fault for not taking good care of her. Therefore, it is my responsibility to find it again. Tell me, do you really think that I've forgotten Mila?” gerald asked while looking into his eyes.

“Aren't you?” asked Rita in a relaxed tone.

Hearing that, Gerald carefully took out a small sachet from his pocket and when Rita saw it, she was immediately dumbfounded.

It was a handmade gift that Mila gave to Gerald back then. Since she had just learned sewing from her mother back then, the sachet itself was not well made. However, Rita remembered that Mila had been working hard sewing her all night. Even a pair of slanted mandarin ducks were still visible on the wrapper.

Rita remembers laughing at herself back then when she heard that Mila would give a bad excuse about handicrafts to the man she loved the most. He was convinced that Gerald would choose to ignore his poor job and simply accept the parcel with disdain.

However, to think that he still has it to this day …

“I've never forgotten the smallest detail of my life, so you can be sure that I will never forget Mila either! I've been searching for it all the time these two years, and as long as I know there's a chance I can still find it, I'm willing to go to the end of the world just to get it back! With that said, I hope you now believe me when I say that you misunderstood, Rita!”
