Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 669
“That I am. He’s told you about me, hasn’t he?” replied Jessica with a faint smile on her face.
Mila was too astonished to immediately respond to her.
Gerald had indeed mentioned her before. He had told her that his sister treated him extremely well. What more,
Jessica had been the one responsible for establishing the Mayberry Commercial Group in the past!
While Mila was aware that his sister was very rich, she hadn’t expected her to be this rich and influential!
At this point, Jessica could almost be considered to be a person of royalty! This made Mila even more nervous than
she already was.
She had initially not felt the pressure of the Crawford family’s true wealth and influence since she never had her
eyes set on Gerald’s money from the very beginning.
After all, it didn’t matter to her whether Gerald was rich or poor. All that mattered to her was that both of them
retained a good relationship.
Due to that way of thinking, even though she knew Gerald’s true identity, she never really realized that there was
this large a gap between them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that Jessica was standing before her, however, the sudden realization of how different she actually was from
the Crawfords was definitely stressing her out.
“Y-yes! He did mention you… He told me that you were in North Africa!”
“I was, I actually just returned a few days ago!” replied Jessica, still smiling.
After saying that, she turned to look at Yoel before smacking him behind the head once.
“Sister-in-law! I’ve clearly wronged you! I sincerely apologize!” shouted Yoel. He was so frightened that his face was
deathly pale as he apologized.
Once that was done, Jessica then turned to look at the slap mark which was still visible on Mila’s face.
“Speaking of which, who slapped you? Now that I know that you’re my younger brother’s girlfriend, I won’t allow for
such actions to go unpunished while I’m here!” said Jessica aloud, her voice suddenly turning cold.
“I-I’m the one responsible for that!” replied Hallie at that moment, her entire body trembling in fear.
Knowing Mila’s background, Hallie had initially thought that Mila’s family was just doing some kind of business in
Mayberry.
It was the reason why Hallie dared to bully Mila so unscrupulously.
However, it was beyond her wildest dreams to ever expect Mila to actually be Jessica’s sister-in-law! What more, it
turns out that Mr. Crawford really was Mila’s boyfriend!
With the cat now out of the bag, Hallie was terror-stricken.
“You?” replied Jessica, glaring icy daggers at Hallie.
“How exactly did she slap you Mila? Return the slaps to her the same way she did to you!”
Mila could only bite her lower lip slightly. After all, she wasn’t an aggressive person. However, given her current
situation, she really didn’t have a choice.
Regardless, it was true that Hallie had constantly been targeting Mila, getting even more daring after each of her
consecutive plots against her.
Mila was well aware that since Hallie hadn’t treated her kindly, she didn’t need to either.
With that in mind, Mila slowly raised her hand before slapping Hallie right in the cheek.
Once the impact hit, Hallie immediately covered her now hurt cheek before bursting into tears.
On the contrary, Jessica couldn’t help but have a much better impression of Mila now after seeing that.
Jessica then looked at Hallie before saying, “How insensible of you to lay hands on my brother’s girlfriend… I
definitely have to teach you a personal lesson! Hmm… How about this? You’ll need to drink in order to compensate
for slapping her!”
“H-huh? Thank you for letting me off easy!” replied Hallie immediately.
“Oh, don’t thank me yet. Listen to the rest first! Here are ten bottles of whiskey… You have to finish all of them in a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsingle gulp!” smiled Jessica icily.
Her subordinates then began dragging Hallie away.
Seeing this, Mila felt her right eyelid twitch slightly. If the issue wasn’t handled well, Hallie’s life could very well be in
danger.
Though Mila agreed that Hallie needed to be taught a lesson, what Jessica had proposed was simply too cruel for
her.
Even if she was to advise Jessica against it, she felt that Jessica’s decision would still be indisputable.
It was also at that moment when she realized that Jessica was the complete opposite of Gerald. While Jessica was
arrogant, reckless, and extremely domineering, Gerald on the other hand, was gentle, reserved, and humble.
At this point, it almost seemed as though Jessica felt that bullying others like that was simply the natural thing to do.
“Once the function is over, I’d like you to come along with me, Mila. I have something to discuss with you. Ah, also,
don’t let Gerald know that we’ve already met each other!” said Jessica calmly as she continued chewing on her
gum.
“Alright, sister!”
After hearing that, Mila started feeling equally worried and scared though she simply couldn’t tell why.
Moving back to Gerald…
