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 Mila’s affection for a time, Serenity? I wonder if you’re regretting allowing Mila 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 Mila 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 a company together! Now wouldn’t that have been great!” declared Georgia as several of the guests who heard that began shaking their heads.

“Indeed! What an absolute pity!”

As comments 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 Mila’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. Mila had been Serenity’s most adored granddaughter, and the old woman had watched Mila 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 Mila 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 past compliments back. In fact, nothing seemed to please them more now than enjoying the misfortune of the Smiths.

Understanding that, the old lady 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 villa 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 Villa was getting demolished, she wasn’t able to stick by her grandma’s side till now.
