Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1556 The second she felt him grabbing onto her arm, the initially shocked woman quickly became infuriated as she shouted, “You…! How dare you…?!”

Following that, a layer of draconic scales that glowed scarlet could faintly be seen on her arm!

As the glow grew brighter, Gerald could feel a rapidly increasing heat on his palm, prompting him to release his grip before taking two steps back.

It was at that moment when the woman finally turned to face her wrathful gaze at Gerald, her charming face now reddened in anger as she snapped, “How dare you behave so imprudently toward me!”

Upon getting a good look at her face, Gerald instantly began breathing much rapidly, now appearing even more emotionally moved than before!

‘Not only do you sound like her, but you look exactly like her too! I can now say with full certainty that I’ve finally found you, Mila…!’

“Please take a good, long look at me, Mila! Have you truly forgotten who I am? I’m Gerald! I’ve been tirelessly looking for you throughout these four years ever since you went missing during that excursion!” explained Gerald, tears already forming at the corners of his eyes.

Hearing that, both of the women couldn’t help but look at each other. The taller woman—in particular— now had a wide frown as her eyelids twitched slightly.

Either way, though the bewildered short woman appeared like she wanted to say something, her friend quickly stopped her. Shaking her head, it was a clear indication that the tall woman didn’t want her friend to say anything unnecessary.

“…I think this man’s just mistaking me for the wrong person, sister. Look, we really don’t know who you are and it’s already getting late so we’ll be off first!” said the tall woman.

Following that, everyone’s eyes widened as both of them speedily flew toward the ocean! Gerald himself could only stare in utter disbelief as the two figures slowly disappeared from sight.

‘That… was clearly Mila, right? Why did she avoid me? It’s as if she doesn’t remember a thing about me! That… That’s simply impossible…!’ Gerald thought to himself.

Whatever the case was, Gerald wasn’t about to let Mila leave him again. With that in mind, he instantly began giving chase!

However, he soon found out that the two women were experts at the lightness skill. After all, with not a trace in sight, he no longer had any idea which direction they could’ve possibly headed to.

Dejected, Gerald could only hover above the gentle waves, momentarily unable to reconcile with the fact that he had lost her yet again…

It wasn’t long after before the two women arrived at an island quite far from where the party had been held…

Their feet finally touching the ground once they got to shore, they were instantly greeted by the sight of a shimmering giant ship that had been docked there.

Resplendently lit, the queer ship almost seemed to be magical in nature, evident by how it kept disappearing and reappearing on the same spot.

With how ethereal it looked, a person who wasn’t paying attention could easily mistake the ship as nothing but a trick of the light.

Regardless, now that they had managed to shake Gerald off their trail, the short woman found herself saying, “That was really dangerous earlier, Xoie! That man… He seemed to know who Mila was! What bad luck that you just so happened to be dressing up her today!”

“You’re telling me! Either way, while it’s clear that he knows her, I wonder why Mila would even be acquainted with anyone here…” mumbled Xoie Quartermain who found the entire situation quite perplexing.

Both she and her younger sister—Xylina Quatermain—had been planning on having some fun for a while now, so they ended up sneaking off to the most crowded place they could find to momentarily enjoy themselves. Neither of them could have ever expected to bump into someone who actually knew Mila!

“Thinking back, I remember him saying that Mila was his lover! What spicy news! Let’s go tell Mila about it right now!” proposed Xylina.

“Hold on, sister!” replied Xoie.

“Hmm? What’s wrong?”

“…Let’s not tell her about this first. After all, if you do, it’ll be equivalent to you telling her that we left for earth without any good reason! With that said, if dad ever finds out about that, he’ll surely ground us! Besides, if Mila truly did know him, she would’ve definitely attempted to find him ages ago! Regardless, let’s not tell her about this first! Best not to stir up something that can be completely avoided!” explained Xoie.

“Well… Alright, sister… Still, I think you should head out with your own appearance in the future. You really don’t have to try so hard to compete with Mila’s beauty, you know? Don’t even dare to deny that

you haven’t been trying to see which between the two of you is prettier ever since you came here. You’ve done it far too many times by this point. Aren’t you tired…?” replied Xylina rather casually.

“I get it!” retorted Xoie, a hint of humiliation on her face.

Raising her fair arm, she stared at the part where Gerald had earlier grabbed her…

From her childhood days, Xoie had remained extremely pure… With that said, this was the first time a man had ever grabbed her by her wrist.

Adding that to the fact that Gerald had the aura of a powerful person, the more Xoie thought about it, the more restless she became as strong emotions welled within her…
