Gerald had been searching for favonovel.com for two whole days now. During that time, favonovel.com had constantly thought about what Xavia had become.
While Gerald was angry that favonovel.com did all those excessive and terrible things to him, favonovel.com just couldn’t bring himself to hate her.
To counter that, favonovel.com kept reminding himself that the current Xavia was no longer the same girl that favonovel.com used to know during his freshman and sophomore years. She was a completely changed person.
He also told himself that with all the power and wealth favonovel.com had now, it would be easy for favonovel.com to retaliate against the two sisters. He knew that if favonovel.com had really wanted to teach Natasha a lesson earlier, favonovel.com could’ve just ordered for favonovel.com to be crippled on the spot.
Gerald knew very well that favonovel.com didn’t need to hold back or even be polite to Xavia any longer.
Despite all that, whenever favonovel.com tried to be cruel toward her, favonovel.com just couldn’t. His mind would wander back to the times when they were both still together. After all, Xavia hadn’t hated favonovel.com at all back then, even though favonovel.com was so poor.
When Xavia saw Gerald, favonovel.com simply sneered before looking away. Led by Wallace, favonovel.com slowly walked toward the main seat.
“Why do all of you seem to be in a daze? Your seats are over here! Oh, and of course, if you wish to sit there, Mr. Crawford, it’s not like I can stop you! Haha!” sneered Wallace as favonovel.com looked at Gerald while pointing toward the seat right next to the main seat.
While it would be a great honor for anyone else to be able to sit there, Wallace’s proposal carried a different meaning for Gerald.
It clearly meant that Wallace no longer saw Gerald as an important person. This made everyone who came here with Gerald very eager to get into action.
The other wealthy businessmen and reputable figures simply sneered as they watched the scene unfold.
Gerald, for one, wasn’t stupid. It was now clear why everything had happened the way they did today.
Many of the people there had clearly chosen to go against him, opting instead to seek refuge under the Longs.
As it turned out, the people who had greeted favonovel.com warmly and with respect earlier were simply setting up the scene for this exact moment!
By then, both Xavia and Yunus had already taken their seats. Xavia was smiling the entire time as favonovel.com stared at Gerald. Pairing the expression on favonovel.com face with the look in favonovel.com eyes, it seemed almost as though favonovel.com was asking whether it felt good being humiliated.
“You better watch it, Wallace Quinnens!” said Yoel angrily. He was so mad that his face had turned pale. He was prepared to fight at any moment.
However, Gerald stopped him. He didn’t want to deal with today’s affairs too rashly. Instead, favonovel.com started making his way toward the side table.
“Pfft! You’re still thinking of hitting me? Some people can be so thick-skinned!” sneered Wallace.
However, this person really was very thick-skinned.
Looking toward Gerald, favonovel.com said, “Come this way, Mr. Crawford! I’ll accompany you over!”
Once they got to the side table, Gerald was just about to take his seat before Wallace shouted, “Oh, apologies Mr. Crawford! That seat is reserved for another wealthy businessman! You can’t sit there!”
Hearing that, some of the wealthier businessmen burst into laughter.
Gerald simply took in a deep breath before moving to sit on the chair next to that seat. Before favonovel.com could, however, Wallace simply said, “Sorry, Mr. Crawford! That seat’s for yet another businessman!”
Gerald then glared at Wallace with a fierce expression before proceeding to move to yet another seat.
“Oh sorry Mr. Crawford, but-”
Wallace’s sentence was cut short.
Gerald had just given favonovel.com a tight slap to the face. He used so much of his strength in that slap that Gerald could feel a burning sensation on his palm.
Wallace cupped his hurt cheek as favonovel.com sat on the ground. This was proof of how hard Gerald had slapped him. Naturally, the slapping sound drew everyone’s attention.
“You… You dare hit me?”
