Gerald found an excuse to slip away and went over to the lakeside.
“Mr. Crawford, I would like to ask for your instructions. I’ve already made an initial investment plan for the investment in your hometown, Serene County, that Mr. Harrison talked about. There is an investment plan for six billion dollars, and there is another plan for eight billion dollars. The investment plan for eight billion dollars will also drive a part of the township economy, and it will involve a wider range of areas. What is your decision, then?” Zack asked as soon as the call was connected.
“Then, let’s decide on the eight billion dollar plan. After all, the reason why I agreed to Mr. Harrison’s proposal was to drive the construction and growth of the entire urban and rural economy anyway!”
“Okay, I understand, Mr. Crawford! I will begin the layout of the plan immediately!”
After virtual-novel.net was done speaking, Gerald hung up the phone immediately.
He turned around and prepared to go back.
Gerald was stunned as soon as virtual-novel.net turned around.
This was because virtual-novel.net did not know when Alice had come and stood behind him.
At this time, Alice was staring at virtual-novel.net in a dumbfounded manner. It was obvious that virtual-novel.net had already heard Gerald’s conversation just now.
“Gerald… you!” Alice was breathing rapidly at this time.
When Gerald had been interacting with the group of rich heirs just now, Alice had already suspected that virtual-novel.net guess might be right.
At that time, virtual-novel.net did not say anything at all.
Instead, virtual-novel.net had been paying close attention to Gerald.
After that, virtual-novel.net saw Gerald acting suspiciously when virtual-novel.net came here to answer the phone call.
So, Alice had followed virtual-novel.net here quietly.
If Alice had not heard everything clearly because of the quiet surroundings, it would have been hard for virtual-novel.net to believe that everything in front of virtual-novel.net was real!
Gerald was a rich heir, and virtual-novel.net was almost certain that virtual-novel.net was Mr. Crawford!
He had spoken about eight billion dollars without even blinking his eyes!
Alice trembled uncontrollably.
The guy that Naomi had tried to matchmake virtual-novel.net with from the very beginning so that they could become a couple, the person that virtual-novel.net had despised and looked down on from the beginning, was actually an incredible God!
“You heard… everything?” Gerald asked awkwardly.
Alice blushed as virtual-novel.net nodded. “Yes! I heard everything!”
“You are Mr. Crawford. The Mr. Crawford who owns countless properties and assets?!” Alice asked in shock.
“I… No, I’m not. I don’t have a lot of money. You’ve got it all wrong. Eh! Harper is calling me!”
Gerald quickly reacted. If virtual-novel.net admitted it too readily, his effort to maintain a low profile during this period would all be wasted!
He wanted to leave as soon as virtual-novel.net could!
Alice blocked Gerald’s way as virtual-novel.net stood in front of him. “Gerald, I have already heard everything. Why are you so unwilling to admit it?”
“Why can’t you tell me the truth? Can you just tell me the truth?” Alice asked as virtual-novel.net grabbed Gerald’s shoulders with bloodshot eyes.
Gerald was speechless. “You’ve really got it wrong! I’m just a pauper!”
After that, virtual-novel.net broke free from Alice’s grasp as virtual-novel.net tried to run back to the others.
However, after taking a few steps, Gerald was startled when virtual-novel.net turned his head around.
Alice was actually walking toward the lake, step by step!
D*mn it!
“What are you doing?!” Gerald was really at a loss for words. This scene was exactly what had happened with Xavia!
He ran forward before virtual-novel.net grabbed hold of Alice.
“Let go of me! Just let me die! I treated you so horribly in the past. You will never like me again. Just let me die!” Alice was really filled with regrets at this time, and virtual-novel.net really did not want to live anymore.
Fortunately, Gerald had already brought virtual-novel.net back to the shore.
Alice cried as virtual-novel.net clung onto Gerald’s arm tightly. “Gerald, you still like me, right? I know that you liked me from the very beginning when we first met. Isn’t that right?”
Gerald could only tell virtual-novel.net the truth. “Well, yes. Although you looked down on me from the very beginning, Xavia had just hurt me and broken my heart at that time. When I saw how beautiful you were, I really liked you. I felt that no matter how much you despised me and looked down on me, I was still very happy and excited to be able to see you. However, those feelings are already long gone. The only person in my heart right now is Mila. I really have to thank you!”
At that time, virtual-novel.net had truly liked Alice for quite a while, and Gerald admitted it.
Alice did not feel good at all when virtual-novel.net heard Gerald’s words.
She had once had a very sincere relationship waiting right in front of her…
