Chapter 1100

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1100 “I-I’ll tell you as long as you promise to take me in!” said Alice as she held onto Gerald’s arm.

“Just tell me already!” replied Gerald as he pushed her hands away.

Wiping her tears away, Alice then began by explaining, “…It… all began on the night when we were atthe seaside hotel…”

After listening to her explanation for a bit, Gerald began seeing the bigger picture. Essentially, Alice haddrugged him that night with the intent of sleeping with him to hopefully get pregnant. Her thoughtprocess at the time was that if she managed to conceive his baby, then she would definitely be able tobe part of a wealthy and prestigious family.

Alas, her period came ahead of time so her plans instantly crumbled! At the time, Alice was so angrywith herself that she badly wanted to slap herself senseless!

However, she did smear the bedsheets with some blood, under the guise of it being the result of herlosing her virginity to him.

With that in mind, it was already clear that she had lied to Gerald about Mable being his biological child.

Regardless, Alice had been filled with resentment and anger the moment Gerald had told her that heneeded to rush off to meet Mila back then. As if to add insult to injury, Gerald even gave her twelvemillion dollars and told her to live elsewhere before running off!

‘I love you so much… How could you treat me like this…?’

Deeply saddened by all this, she decided to make a mountain out of a molehill. She would look for theCrawford family’s island—which belonged to Gerald’s sister—and take things into her own hands!

Though she immediately bought herself a ship that morning to locate said island, she simply couldn’tfind it no matter how hard she tried!

Soon enough, night came. Feeling the ocean breeze blow against her face as she looked out at thevast ocean, Alice was just about to return in disappointment when she came across an odd fleet ofships.

Deciding to ask them about the island before giving up for the night, Alice was delighted when thepeople aboard one of the ships promised that they would bring her to Jessica’s island.

To her eventual dismay, she soon found that she had been lied to when they brought her to anunfamiliar coast, where the Minshall family resided.

The young master of that family went by IssacMinshall, and he had been charmed the moment he sawher while they were still out at sea, prompting him to lie to her so that she would be his.novelbin

While Issac definitely wasn’t a nice man, he couldn’t lay a finger on her upon hearing that she waspregnant. It was due to one of the many rules that had been set within that place.

“Of course, the part about me being pregnant was a complete lie… Regardless, I promised to marryhim after giving birth to the child… That seemed to work since he gradually let his guard down aroundme.”

Sometime later, Alice found a way to escape.

Thankfully, she had heard of an exceptional person who went by the name of Master Ghost during herstay there. The man was supposedly an expert in both astronomy and geology, and was famed for

being able to make meticulous calculations to speculate events with extremely high accuracy. He didn’tbelong to any particular forces either.

With all those reasons in mind, Alice thought that he was the perfect person to seek out. Naturally, theprice of hiring him was by no means a small amount. Nine million dollars, to be exact.

Once she paid that amount, however, she would be left almost penniless. What was the use of evengetting away if she had to live like a pauper afterward? That made her think about Gerald, whichsparked her interest in attempting to search for the island again.

Before making her escape, she met up with Master Ghost first. After hearing her monetary fears,Master Ghost shared a relevant thought with Alice. According to him, the Minshalls’ ancestors had dugup a pair of jade charms from the king of the ocean’s tomb many, many years back. The charmsthemselves were said to have the power to link bloodlines between three people.

Even if she managed to get the charms, however, she would still need a personal item of the personwith the bloodline the charms were attempting to replicate. Due to Alice leaving the hotel in a hurry themorning after she had drugged Gerald, the only personal item of his that she had was his shirt. Shehad held on to it at the time to be used as proof of their intercourse when she eventually met Jessica.

Hearing that, Master Ghost told her that while the effectiveness would be slightly weaker, commonmachines wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between bloodlines that easily.

Following that, Alice stole the jade charms before fleeing from the Minshall Manor. Once she managedto do that, she also adopted the most suitable baby she could find at an orphanage.

After Master Ghost managed to locate Jessica’s island, he shared the information with Alice. Beforeending his service, he also told her that she was born to become a distinguished and wealthy lady.

That was what drove her to continue on with her dreams till the events of today finally took place.

Though she had escaped a year ago, she spent about half a year hiding from the Minshall family whowas still actively looking for her all over the place. Of course, she eventually made it to the islandsafely.

After hearing all that, Gerald finally understood most of the situation. However, there was now a newproblem with the equation.

Lyra had earlier said that the picture of the sun had displayed the jade charm on multiple occasionswhenever she asked it to tell her where the woman in white was.

Could the woman in white’s location be where the jade charm was found? In other words, the ancienttomb?
