Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1243
Soon enough, a few thousand workers arrived, ready for duty.
Since their task was to penetrate the mountain, they had no real choice but to first demolish Mountain Top Villa.
Of course, with such a major operation happening, observant people soon realized what was happening. With that,
news about it began spreading online like wildfire, causing a heated discussion among those in Mayberry.
“Are they really planning to demolish Mountain Top Villa?”
“They are! D*mn it! To even consider demolishing that villa that cost over a hundred and twenty million dollars…
How rich they must be!” discussed fans of the building among themselves.
Regardless, even with so much information about the incident circulating the net, the administrative department of
Mountain Top Villa hadn’t seemed to receive any news about the demolition yet. It didn’t help that when Zack
wanted something done, he didn’t ever explain himself to those from the subordinate departments. After all, to
him, there was no need to.
However, it should be noted that for the administrative department, Mountain Top Villa wasn’t just some ordinary
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtresidence. It had been painstakingly built with the combined efforts of several engineers. To those from that
department, it was less of a building than it was a piece of art.
Moving back to the present, as the workers continued performing their tasks, an angry-looking woman—who looked
to be around twenty-seven—stomped her way toward one of them before shouting, “Hold it! Who the hell told all of
you to demolish this place! Aren’t you aware of who owns this place? How very daring!”
“Lady, we get orders from Chairman Lyle, we execute them. If you have any problems with that, then just go meet
him directly!” sneered the worker in response.
His response made her so angry that she instantly took in a deep breath to calm her nerves. Raising her head to
look at the many other workers—from the demolishing team—who were higher up the crowded mountain, the
woman then frowned before making her way up there.
The moment she arrived, however, she was just in time to hear a deafening explosion, followed by the sight of one
of Mountain Top Villa’s walls crumbling to the ground!
She was just seconds too late to attempt to prevent something like that from happening. Knowing that, the
saddened woman instantly began scowling at all those rude people extremely sternly!
At that moment, both Zack and Gerald were in the garden of Mountain Top Villa.
Turning to look at Gerald, Zack explained, “Based on our estimations, the fastest the project can be completed will
be in two days and nights!”
“Noted. Do continue working hard throughout these two days then, Chairman Lyle. Be sure to keep an eye around
here and should there be any news, contact me immediately!” replied Gerald.
“Very well, Mr. Crawford!”
As soon as Zack’s sentence ended, a bodyguard came running over before saying, “Mr. Crawford! There’s a
woman attempting to cause trouble out there! She says she’s from the Mayberry Organization as well, and she’s
desperately trying to get in the way of the project! If possible, we’d like to force her out of this place! What do you
say, Mr. Crawford?”
“What a b*stard! How dare anyone try to stop Mr. Crawford from doing what he wants! Get that person out of this
place no matter who they are!” roared Zack.
“B-before that, she said her name was Rita! She told us that as long as we mentioned her name, you’d know who
she was, Chairman Lyle!” replied the guard.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“…R-Rita…?” muttered Zack, stunned as he turned to look at Gerald.
Rita was Mila’s second cousin, and she could be considered to be Mr. Crawford’s elder sister. With that in mind,
Zack’s anger immediately dissipated.
Gerald himself was shocked to hear that familiar name out of the blue. After all, he previously had quite a number
of encounters with Rita, and he knew for a fact that her relationship with Mila was very good.
‘What’s Mila’s second cousin doing here…?’
Though Gerald had missed both Mila and his own family throughout the two years, he certainly hadn’t forgotten to
be concerned about the condition of Mila’s family.
As long as there was a way to compensate Mila’s family, he’d definitely do so without the slightest hesitation. Up till
this point, Gerald had made sure that the Smiths would be able to live worry-free for a few generations monetary-
wise. It was the least he could do.
Regardless, even though he had returned to Mayberry twice within these two years, he had never personally visited
any of Mila’s family members throughout that time. After all, ever since Mila went missing, he had felt immense
guilt toward the Smiths.
Mila had chosen to be together with him, yet in the end, she disappeared. What else could that mean aside from
the fact that he hadn’t taken good care of her?
He didn’t even know how to face any of the Smiths, so now that Rita was here, Gerald was filled with immense
terror.
