She simply shook her head as she went down the mountain immediately.
Silas spoke as he smiled bitterly, “What is the matter with Miss Rita today? Why did she say that Mr. Crawford was here earlier? If Mr. Crawford was really going to come here, my dad would have already…”
But at this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.
Silas answered the phone with a smile on his face. “Dad!”
“Don’t yell at me, dad. You are my father!”
Michael continued yelling wildly on the other side of the line, he was also panting.
After that, both of them continued speaking. By this time, the smile on Silas’s face had already gradually disappeared, and his face had turned pale.
In the end, Michael simply hung up the phone.
“Silas, Silas, what happened?” Alice asked as she was also in a perturbed state of mind.
“It’s over. It’s all over! My dad told me that Mr. Crawford might have actually been here! Moreover, Mr. Crawford specifically called my father and Miss Rita to ask him about this situation. I am going to get my legs broken now! I’m done for!”
Silas dropped his cell phone to the ground in fright.
He was obviously very afraid of his father. He knew that things had already gone awry based on the current tone of his father’s voice.
“What? Mr. Crawford was truly here?” Alice could not help but tremble uncontrollably.
As the girls had just mentioned, throughout the entire event, no one else had been here aside from that pathetic jerk, Gerald!
That’s right! Alice came to a sudden realization.
Gerald… wasn’t Gerald’s last name Crawford too?!
He was indeed much richer compared to the past. Moreover, if you just added the honorific, ‘mister’, in front of his last name, it would be… Mr. Crawford!
What?!
How could it possibly be him?
Alice felt that her mind was a complete blank.
To be honest, this was not the first time that Alice had had some suspicions about Gerald’s identity. However, everything had always been hazy and there was no solid evidence in the past.
However, she had never gotten closer to the truth than this!
Yes! Gerald came up to the mountain, and he had left the mountain after she had taunted him.
