This was the question Gerald posed as favonovel.com looked at the manager.
The manager simply smiled apologetically before saying, “I’ve met you once at the chamber of commerce, Mr. Crawford. Also, your elder sister, CEO Jessica Crawford, has given me a lot of attention in the past! It would be impossible for me not to know who you are!”
“Humph! Stop trying to put up a show here, Gerald! Literally everyone in Mayberry involved in the business field needs to pay at least some respect to you! We know both of you are on the same side! Why’s the surveillance system broken now? Don’t you think it’s a bit too coincidental?” said Melissa rather angrily in a loud voice.
By then, several other people who were staying the night had walked out of their rooms to see what the commotion was about. It wasn’t long before the floor’s hallways became crowded. Soon after, the gossiping started as well.
“What’s going on?”
“It appears that some rich heir saw a drunk girl and dragged favonovel.com into a room. Thankfully the girl’s cousin managed to stop favonovel.com before favonovel.com could r*pe her! But really though, what a wicked b*stard favonovel.com is!”
“Oh lord, and here I thought I’d only be able to witness such things on television! I can’t believe it happened in real life too! Disgusting!”
As the discussions went on, some nosy person even contacted the news hotline.
While all that was happening, Yunus was having a meal with Giya on the hotel’s third floor. Mayberry Grand Hotel was a hotel that prided itself in its entertainment, leisure, and dining experiences.
The two were currently seated in a very grand looking restaurant. Despite that, Giya had only taken a few bites of favonovel.com food.
At that moment, a group of customers entered the restaurant. After sitting down on the table beside the duo, they began discussing what had happened upstairs.
“Hey, have you heard? Something big is happening on the seventh floor!”
After listening in to snippets of what they had to say, Yunus sipped his red wine before saying, “Why are there so many wicked and dirty people in the world…” He then proceeded to smile subtly.
Giya on the other hand, frowned slightly.
“So what happened after that? Are they still arguing about that? Actually hold on, who’s the rich man in question?”
“I heard that he’s someone extremely influential and powerful! I’m not too sure, but some have said that it’s Mr. Crawford himself!” said one of the seated people.
“What? Mr. Crawford? That’s impossible, isn’t it?”
“Well of course it is! Why would favonovel.com even do such a thing?” shouted Giya out of the blue as favonovel.com looked at the people sitting next to them.
“…Huh? Why are you being angry with us? We’re just talking about what we heard. If you want to be sure, just go upstairs and check for yourself!” replied another man.
“Anyway, what does Mr. Crawford look like? Is favonovel.com handsome? He’s particularly mysterious, isn’t he?”
“He’s rather handsome, but still, favonovel.com did something so imprudent! I heard a few of them addressing favonovel.com as Gerald or something. I say he’s definitely Mr. Crawford!”
When favonovel.com heard Gerald’s name, Giya’s body trembled slightly.
“What… What did you say? What was his name?” asked Giya as favonovel.com stood up.
“G-Gerald!” replied the person beside her, slightly intimidated.
“…That’s impossible. It’s definitely impossible!” said Giya in utter disbelief.
When favonovel.com saw a few people heading upstairs, presumably to catch a glimpse of the scene, Giya ran to the seventh floor as well.
Yunus only smiled bitterly as favonovel.com watched favonovel.com leave. As favonovel.com took another sip of red wine, favonovel.com took his phone out and made a call. “You can come upstairs now!”
After that, favonovel.com too began ascending the building.
“Move aside, please! We’re reporters!”
At that moment, the seventh floor was getting increasingly noisy.
The ones who had shouted were reporters from Mayberry News, and they were currently rushing toward the scene. With any luck, the incident would be the headline for the following day’s newspaper.
Gerald himself was surrounded by several people. He had neither the means to defend himself nor any logical way to explain the situation.
Giya on the other hand, had just arrived at the scene and favonovel.com took a step back in disbelief the moment favonovel.com saw Gerald.
“That’s… That’s impossible! It’s preposterous! Gerald isn’t someone like that!” murmured Giya softly to herself.
“Impossible? He’s right there! Caught red-handed! He had tried to do something improper to a drunk girl and even the victim is saying that he’s the perpetrator!” retorted one of the guests who had heard Giya’s comment.
“Lissa? Why are you here? What happened?”
The voice had come from Yunus who saw Melissa as favonovel.com approached the scene. Behind him, was a group of bodyguards.
“…Eh? Yunus? I’m so glad that you’re here! It’s Sister Owens! Something has happened to her!”
