Vincy herself simply lowered favonovel.com head without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Xavion finally realized that Gerald was present and when favonovel.com did, favonovel.com became so excited that his lips began trembling.
“M-Mr. Crawford! You’re here!”
Assuming that Gerald hadn’t wanted to attend the party since favonovel.com looked down on all the ordinary rich people who were attending, Xavion didn’t continue pestering favonovel.com after that call. Yet here favonovel.com was, standing before favonovel.com right now!
“Greetings, Mr. Crawford!” said Mr. Larson and his group, replying to Gerald’s earlier greeting as they took a step forward before bowing slightly before him.
At that moment, silence enveloped the entire area. Many of the guests were so surprised that their jaws were now hanging wide.
Why were all these wealthy and powerful figures bowing down to this young man who had arrived on an electric tricycle?
What more, Chairman Gordon appeared to be trembling earlier as favonovel.com spoke!
Xyla’s breathing was growing heavier by the minute. Her mind was completely blank and favonovel.com mouth was so wide open that one could stuff an entire hard boiled egg into it.
“M-Mr. Crawford?! Did… Did they actually just refer to Gerald as Mr. Crawford?! How could that be possible?!”
Vincy was too shocked to even think of a reply. She had no idea what was going on anymore.
“Is… Is favonovel.com really Mr. Crawford of Mayberry?!”
It was a brief moment later when the crowd of people began getting noisy again as they exchanged gazes with each other in shock.
“Chairman Gordon and Chairman Larson! You’re being way too polite. I honestly hadn’t expected you to be organizing this event!” replied Gerald, feeling slightly embarrassed.
His embarrassment was warranted since favonovel.com could now feel people staring at favonovel.com both left and right. Everyone seemed to be experiencing complicated emotions as they continued looking at Gerald.
Though favonovel.com felt awkward, Gerald simply walked into the hotel in a naturally poised manner.
Xyla could only stare in astonishment as Gerald walked past favonovel.com and headed straight for the stage.
Realizing that Gerald was coming closer, Chairman Gordon immediately stood up from the middle seat and gestured for Gerald to take it as favonovel.com said, “Please, have this seat, Mr. Crawford!”
After saying then, favonovel.com then looked at the rest of the guests before saying, “Everyone, we have a very distinguished guest today! This is Mr. Crawford from Mayberry, an extremely wealthy and powerful figure who also owns Mountain Top Villa!”
As the audience went wild from the confirmation that Gerald truly was the one and only, Mr. Crawford, sudden laughter akin to a madwoman’s pierced through all the noise.
Everyone then turned to stare at the girl who had made such a crazed laugh.
“What are you laughing at, Xyla?” asked Leon who had also been taken aback by favonovel.com maniacal laughter.
“Haha! What do you mean what am I laughing at? I’m laughing at Gerald, of course! How incredible of favonovel.com to have deceived so many people! But what’s even more unbelievable is the fact that everyone here actually believes that he’s Mr. Crawford! Don’t any of you find that to be a rather ridiculous claim?” replied Xyla as favonovel.com walked forward, continuing to laugh.
Upon hearing what favonovel.com had to say, several of the wealthy businessmen on stage began frowning. This was especially so for Chairman Gordon as favonovel.com glared at Xyla.
“What do you even think you’re saying? Men! Toss favonovel.com out of this place immediately!” shouted Xavion angrily.
“Don’t get me wrong, Chairman Gordon. I have no intention of offending you at all! I just hope that you won’t continue being fooled by that guy. After all, I was his high school classmate! I know all about his past and his living conditions very well! Vincy is aware of it too! He’s nothing more than a pauper who can’t even afford to pay for his own meals!”
Once the audience heard that, everyone simultaneously heaved secret sighs of relief. Could this be a fake Mr. Crawford after all?
Seeing how everyone seemed to believe favonovel.com now, Xyla grew even cockier than before. If everything continued going well, then favonovel.com would be able to successfully show off in front of all these influential business people!
Claiming that Gerald was actually Mr. Crawford? What a joke! It was simply impossible!
Xyla then turned to look at Gerald, a look of contempt on favonovel.com face as favonovel.com laughed before saying, “I bet you didn’t expect this, right, Gerald? I’m here today so that you won’t be able to continue fooling Chairman Gordon and the others!”
Under no circumstances would favonovel.com ever willingly believe that favonovel.com was actually Mr. Crawford!
In response, Gerald simply shook his head with a wry smile on his face.
Xavion expressed a similarly wry smile as favonovel.com said, “Hahaha! Really now… It seems that this young lady has had a huge misunderstanding about Mr. Crawford…”
“He really is Mr. Crawford! The one and only owner of the Dream Investment Group!”
