Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 792
Holding on to her stomach as she wiped her tears away, Alice took her cell phone out and began sending a text
message.
It wasn’t long after when a knock was heard at her room’s door. Upon opening it, the person who stood outside
turned out to be the same man who had beaten Alice up earlier!
“Is it done, miss? And here I thought that the young master would’ve already picked you up and left with you by
now!” said the man with a chuckle.
“Here’s the money, now get out of my sight! Also, while I did tell you to put on a great show, don’t you think you
were being a little too harsh?” replied Alice angrily.
“Hey, it’s all because of my intense acting skills that the young master ended up buying it! Haha! I can see that he’s
fainted… Since you’ll be free for the rest of the night, why don’t we… ”
“Get lost!” shouted Alice as she glared contemptuously at the man before slamming the door shut.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was true that Alice had earlier set Gerald up. After all, the only way she would be able to gain his trust and
compassion was by ‘getting hurt’ in front of him.
Though it was a gamble, Alice was willing to try anything at this point.
Her fantasies of being together with him had been shattered the moment she learned of Gerald’s true identity.
What more, he seemed to be leaving Salford County soon.
Once he left, she knew it would be near impossible for her to meet him again.
Alice simply couldn’t reconcile with the fact that she had once only been steps away from being able to be part of
an unimaginably distinguished and rich family.
This was her final attempt to grab hold of her dreams.
After the birthday banquet ended, Alice had not scrupled to leave the service team before rushing back to Hong
Kong. She was in such a hurry since she had heard some things during the Fenderson Mansion event.
According to the rumors, Gerald was bringing some of his people there. While she didn’t specifically know where his
family stayed in Northbay, Alice knew where Gerald’s sister was.
Though she had initially been rather skeptical about the rumors, her gamble paid off in the end, since Gerald truly
did come.
By then, she had already planned for the show between her and that man from earlier to happen. Her plan had
worked flawlessly too since she knew Gerald like the back of her hand.
His greatest downfall was the fact that he was a soft-hearted person, especially with women. It was why Alice had
managed to successfully trick him, and all that led to the current situation.
“You really can’t blame me for doing this, Gerald… I really just want you to be mine!” said Alice as she slowly began
undressing.
The next morning at Northbay’s main port in Hong Kong, a large ocean liner could be seen waiting to depart. The
ship had been exclusively reserved for those in the investigation team.
One after another, the many members of the investigation team began boarding the ship.
“I’ll see you in three days, Molly! I’ll miss you!”
“That’s not a lie, is it?”
“Of course it isn’t!”
As Molly continued openly flirting with her boyfriend, Wanda did the same with hers. Both their boyfriends had

Mila herself, however, seemed to be waiting anxiously alone there. Her cell phone was ready in her hand and she
had already tried calling him up to twenty times that morning.
The reply she got, however, was always the same.
“Sorry, the phone you have dialed, is currently off. Please try again later.”
“Why hasn’t Mr. Crawford arrived, Mila?” asked Molly as she walked over, her arm locked with her boyfriend’s.
“Humph! Do you honestly think that being a rich man’s partner is going to be that easy? He probably doesn’t even
care for her! Why, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume that he’s currently sleeping in another beauty’s arms!” said a
girl who smiled coldly as she approached the group.
“Like you’d know anything about that, Hallie! Remember, you’re only here because you made use of your
connections! In the end, you’re just a b*tch deep down, and you’ll never be anything more than that! So shut up
already!” retorted Wanda with a huff.
Hearing that, Hallie’s face immediately went red with rage.
“Hey, look over there! A luxury car is coming this way!” said a man who pointed at it as a few other men—who
were standing close by—turned to look.
