Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 793
“A luxury car?” said Mila as she quickly turned to look as well.
Mila could feel her heartbeats quicken as she watched the sports car swiftly make its way into the port.
‘Has Gerald finally come?’
As the car came to a screeching halt, Mila found herself slowly walking forward.
Out stepped a young man with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand. Seeing how romantic he was being, almost
everyone present—especially the girls—began feeling jealous.
“Sorry I’m late, Hallie!” said the young man as he removed his glasses while smiling.
“You’re not late at all, darling! I’m delighted to know that you rushed all the way here just to see me off!” replied
Hallie as she skipped rather excitedly toward the young man.
When she moved past Mila, however, she made sure that Mila saw her smirking at her before saying, “Why did you

Hallie felt extremely satisfied after saying that. After all, she had initially feared that Mila would end up becoming
the highlight of the day since her boyfriend was so powerful.
Thankfully, he hadn’t turned up. This meant that her other assumption was right. After all, why would a rich heir like
Mr. Crawford ever want to be with a girl like Mila?
‘In the end, he doesn’t even bother about you. Did you honestly think that he’d come all the way over just to meet
you? Dream on!’
While Hallie was aware that she had already lost to her when it came to work, she was happy to know that she
could still win against Mila when it came to her love life.
“Rich boyfriend?” asked the young man as he held on to Hallie’s hands.
“Indeed! Someone here has an extremely wealthy boyfriend! Though she had claimed that he would clear his busy
schedule just to come over and meet her, in the end, it was all just a bunch of baloney! Where is he now?” shouted
Hallie out loud.
Hearing her words, Mila became so anxious that she felt like crying right there and then!
In all honesty, her anxiety firing up had less to do with what Hallie had said. Rather, it had stemmed from the fact
that Gerald hadn’t answered any of her calls that morning. He had even forgotten about his promise with her last
night!
‘Does he truly not love me anymore?’ Mila thought to herself, her mind swimming with many other depressing
thoughts.
“Alright, hand over your phones! All personnel are required to verify your identity before you’re allowed to board
the ship!” said one of the investigation team’s staff aloud at that moment.
With that, Mila and the others slowly began boarding the ship. Even after everyone had gotten aboard, Mila was
honestly still hoping that a miracle could happen.
‘Gerald will definitely appear at the last moment… After all, he promised me that he would come, and he never lies
to me.’
However, as she watched the port slowly fade in the distance, Mila couldn’t help but burst into tears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the ship continued sailing on, the screeching of car tires could be heard at the now almost deserted port.
The few people who remained at the port found themselves looking at a young, rich heir and an old man as they
stepped out of an immensely expensive-looking car.
The ocean liner was nowhere in sight.
Gerald could only slam his fist against the car’s bonnet, realizing that he had been too late.
While he had tried calling Mila on his way there, he found that she had switched her phone off. If only he had been
a little earlier, he would’ve definitely still been able to meet with her.
The main issue wasn’t about failing to meet her, however. It was failing to keep his promise.
He remembered seeing Alice lying atop of him the moment he opened his eyes. That was all he needed to see to
realize that he had been tricked into his current situation the night before.
After giving Alice a harsh scolding, he immediately rushed out of the hotel.
Fynn and his men had been waiting for him the entire night at the port, and knowing this only served to add to
Gerald’s guilt.
If only he hadn’t taken pity on Alice, none of this would’ve happened…
In his mind, Gerald was able to picture how eager and disappointed Mila must have felt throughout her wait for him.
The more he thought about it, the more his grief piled up.
