Jaxon’s respectful attitude toward Gerald surprised everyone.
This was especially so for Xella, who was now looking at Gerald with a completely different expression on favonovel.com face.
She had used to think that Gerald only had personal connections with average statused people. To think that favonovel.com knew such a powerful and reputable individual as Jaxon!
What more, Jaxon had even taught the people who were planning to beat Gerald up a lesson. He didn’t give them any face at all!
“What a great coincidence! If it weren’t for you, I would already have been beaten up!” said Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
He had seen through Waylon’s act. If his guess was correct, then everything that had happened was orchestrated by Waylon. That was probably also the reason why both Waylon and Milo were laughing between themselves earlier.
Jaxon simply bowed slightly at Gerald’s comment.
What an awkward meal today… Gerald himself already felt full.
As for Francesca, after seeing Waylon getting beaten like that, favonovel.com didn’t have the mood to continue eating anymore. With that, favonovel.com decided to settle the bill first.
“Ah, Mr. Sanders, are you acquainted with Gerald? I’m the deputy director of X Bank. You seem like quite the capable man! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if any of your groups wish to use our bank for your funding and capital flow!”
Francesca wasn’t going to let the chance to befriend Jaxon slip away that easily.
After all, favonovel.com knew that Jaxon had the capability to make smaller subordinate companies use X Bank for their cash flow.
Instead of discussing the matter with Francesca, favonovel.com simply looked at Gerald to see his response.
Gerald simply nodded.
If Francesca hadn’t invited favonovel.com to join them for lunch today, favonovel.com may have been able to get through with favonovel.com business negotiations with ease. Since favonovel.com initial plan was disrupted because of him, Gerald thought that it would only be fair for favonovel.com to help favonovel.com out this time. This was the only reason why favonovel.com agreed to it.
At that moment, they could hear Waylon and the group of people fighting again inside the room.
It was clear, however, that the people were beating Waylon up this time.
Though Warrick had planned to use Waylon to befriend Jaxon, favonovel.com ended up unexpectedly offending favonovel.com instead!
How could Warrick not be angry?
Waylon was now the group’s punching bag to release all their anger and frustration.
Gerald only sneered when favonovel.com heard Waylon’s screams. In fact, favonovel.com felt that they weren’t beating favonovel.com hard enough.
Xella continued looking at Gerald, a complicated expression on favonovel.com face.
When favonovel.com saw that Gerald was only talking to Cindy and wasn’t paying favonovel.com any attention, deep in favonovel.com heart, Xella couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable
And just like that, the meal was over.
Gerald went back to his hotel with Jaxon as the driver.
“Cindy, I can finally see why your grandfather told me that this young man’s identity wasn’t all that simple!” said Francesca after a while as favonovel.com sighed.
While they were having dinner together last night, Cindy’s grandfather had emphasized that Gerald wasn’t as simple as favonovel.com looked. She hadn’t thought much about it back then, but favonovel.com could now see what favonovel.com meant.
“I hadn’t expected favonovel.com to be so powerful and well connected either! Actually, now that I think about it, mom! I finally understand what happened back when I was at the karaoke bar last time!” replied Cindy as favonovel.com smacked favonovel.com forehead with favonovel.com palm.
Xella herself remained silent. She was waiting for the people inside to finish fighting before fishing Waylon out. She didn’t dare to go in at the moment, nor did favonovel.com dare to stay alone. She was terrified that Warrick and his men would also take their revenge on her.
Earlier, favonovel.com had followed Gerald out quietly when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com leaving.
However, Gerald paid favonovel.com no notice and simply left without saying another word.
