Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1100

“I-I’ll tell you as long as you promise to take me in!” said Alice as she held onto Gerald’s arm.

“Just tell me already!” replied Gerald as he pushed her hands away.

Wiping her tears away, Alice then began by explaining, “…It… all began on the night when we were at the seaside

hotel…”

After listening to her explanation for a bit, Gerald began seeing the bigger picture. Essentially, Alice had drugged

him that night with the intent of sleeping with him to hopefully get pregnant. Her thought process at the time was

that if she managed to conceive his baby, then she would definitely be able to be part of a wealthy and prestigious

family.

Alas, her period came ahead of time so her plans instantly crumbled! At the time, Alice was so angry with herself

that she badly wanted to slap herself senseless!

However, she did smear the bedsheets with some blood, under the guise of it being the result of her losing her

virginity to him.

With that in mind, it was already clear that she had lied to Gerald about Mable being his biological child.

Regardless, Alice had been filled with resentment and anger the moment Gerald had told her that he needed to

rush off to meet Mila back then. As if to add insult to injury, Gerald even gave her twelve million dollars and told her

to live elsewhere before running off!

‘I love you so much… How could you treat me like this…?’

Deeply saddened by all this, she decided to make a mountain out of a molehill. She would look for the Crawford

family’s island—which belonged to Gerald’s sister—and take things into her own hands!

Though she immediately bought herself a ship that morning to locate said island, she simply couldn’t find it no

matter how hard she tried!

Soon enough, night came. Feeling the ocean breeze blow against her face as she looked out at the vast ocean,

Alice was just about to return in disappointment when she came across an odd fleet of ships.

Deciding to ask them about the island before giving up for the night, Alice was delighted when the people aboard

one of the ships promised that they would bring her to Jessica’s island.

To her eventual dismay, she soon found that she had been lied to when they brought her to an unfamiliar coast,

where the Minshall family resided.

The young master of that family went by IssacMinshall, and he had been charmed the moment he saw her while

they were still out at sea, prompting him to lie to her so that she would be his.

While Issac definitely wasn’t a nice man, he couldn’t lay a finger on her upon hearing that she was pregnant. It was

due to one of the many rules that had been set within that place.

“Of course, the part about me being pregnant was a complete lie… Regardless, I promised to marry him after

giving birth to the child… That seemed to work since he gradually let his guard down around me.”

Sometime later, Alice found a way to escape.

Thankfully, she had heard of an exceptional person who went by the name of Master Ghost during her stay there.

The man was supposedly an expert in both astronomy and geology, and was famed for being able to make

meticulous calculations to speculate events with extremely high accuracy. He didn’t belong to any particular forces

either.

With all those reasons in mind, Alice thought that he was the perfect person to seek out. Naturally, the price of

hiring him was by no means a small amount. Nine million dollars, to be exact.

Once she paid that amount, however, she would be left almost penniless. What was the use of even getting away if

she had to live like a pauper afterward? That made her think about Gerald, which sparked her interest in attempting

to search for the island again.

Before making her escape, she met up with Master Ghost first. After hearing her monetary fears, Master Ghost

shared a relevant thought with Alice. According to him, the Minshalls’ ancestors had dug up a pair of jade charms

from the king of the ocean’s tomb many, many years back. The charms themselves were said to have the power to

link bloodlines between three people.

Even if she managed to get the charms, however, she would still need a personal item of the person with the

bloodline the charms were attempting to replicate. Due to Alice leaving the hotel in a hurry the morning after she

had drugged Gerald, the only personal item of his that she had was his shirt. She had held on to it at the time to be

used as proof of their intercourse when she eventually met Jessica.

Hearing that, Master Ghost told her that while the effectiveness would be slightly weaker, common machines

wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between bloodlines that easily.

Following that, Alice stole the jade charms before fleeing from the Minshall Manor. Once she managed to do that,

she also adopted the most suitable baby she could find at an orphanage.

After Master Ghost managed to locate Jessica’s island, he shared the information with Alice. Before ending his

service, he also told her that she was born to become a distinguished and wealthy lady.

That was what drove her to continue on with her dreams till the events of today finally took place.

Though she had escaped a year ago, she spent about half a year hiding from the Minshall family who was still

actively looking for her all over the place. Of course, she eventually made it to the island safely.

After hearing all that, Gerald finally understood most of the situation. However, there was now a new problem with

the equation.

Lyra had earlier said that the picture of the sun had displayed the jade charm on multiple occasions whenever she

asked it to tell her where the woman in white was.

Could the woman in white’s location be where the jade charm was found? In other words, the ancient tomb?
