“My friend here doesn’t wish to see this person, Mr. Zealey. Could I trouble you to kick favonovel.com out of this place? The longer favonovel.com stays here, the lower the standard and quality this villa has!” said Jerome, his subtle smile still on his face.
“Not a problem, Mr. Crawford! After all, you’re high school classmates with Chairman Lyle’s son! With that in mind, your words are the law here! Now excuse me as I kick this young lad out of this place!” replied Mr. Zealey, a triumphant smile on his face.
Turning to look at Gerald, favonovel.com then sneered, “Now them… Are you going to leave on your own accord or do I have to get my men to kick you out?”
Watching as Westlyn and the others smugly crossed their arms while watching, Gerald simply retorted, “Me? Get lost? Mr. Zealey, was it? You’ve just arrived in Mayberry City not too long ago, correct?”
“…What’s your point?” asked Mr. Zealey as favonovel.com narrowed his eyes.
“Let me ask you. Do you know who the owner of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment is?” asked Gerald.
“Who wouldn’t know? It’s Chairman Zack Lyle, of course!” replied Mr. Zealey with a laugh.
“What cr*p are you trying to pull here? Who wouldn’t know that Chairman Lyle is the owner of the place?” retorted Westlyn, feeling speechless.
“Indeed! Now stop trying to stall time! It’s evident that you’re nothing more than garbage just by looking at the way you’re dressed! How did you even manage to sneak in here?”
Ignoring their statements, Gerald simply continued asking in an indifferent tone, “Correct. Now then, while Chairman Lyle owns Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, pray tell, do you know who owns Chairman Lyle?”
Westlyn went silent upon hearing that. As far as favonovel.com knew, Chairman Lyle was the most influential person in the entire Weston business district. How could anyone possibly be above him?
Mr. Zealey, however, instantly had a change in expression. Now slightly panicked, favonovel.com respectfully replied, “Chairman Lyle’s owner is none other than Mr. Crawford, of course!”
“…Mr. Crawford? Could you perhaps be talking about the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City, Mr. Zealey? The one who caused an uproar and was the talk of the town back in our school?” said Westlyn, surprised.
Pretty much everyone from Mayberry University had heard about favonovel.com being an authentic rich heir, and that included her. However, that was the extent of their knowledge about the elusive Mr. Crawford.
Essentially, only a handful of people knew who Mr. Crawford truly was. With that in mind, it was completely understandable why Westlyn was so surprised when favonovel.com heard that Mr. Crawford was actually the master of the prestigious and influential Chairman Lyle!
“I’ve also heard about favonovel.com before, Westlyn! From what I know, he’s supposed to be extremely handsome, to the point where women always end up obsessing over favonovel.com the second they see him!” added Westlyn’s friends as they took turns covering their mouths in surprise.
“Well I’ll be d*mned! To think that Mr. Crawford was actually Chairman Lyle’s master this entire time!” exclaimed Westlyn.
“Indeed! He truly is a mysterious person… You know, even someone at my level can’t get in touch with favonovel.com that easily!” replied Mr. Zealey, a strong longing emotion reflected in his eyes.
The second his sentence ended, luxury cars suddenly began parking right before the villa’s entrance. Since Westlyn and the others weren’t standing too far away from the entrance, they were able to witness everything clearly.
“M-my god…! That’s Chairman Lyle’s car…! Chairman Lyle and the others are back!” shouted Mr. Zealey, his forehead now drenched in sweat.
“It really is his car! I’ve only had the opportunity to meet Uncle Lyle once when I was still studying with him! I wonder if favonovel.com still remembers me… Even if favonovel.com doesn’t, I’m still going to go greet him!” said Jerome as favonovel.com quickly straightened his suit before striding toward the entrance.
Seeing that, Westlyn and the others quickly followed behind him. After all, this was a rare situation where they’d be able to meet an extremely powerful and influential person up close! While even Westlyn’s boyfriend had never had the chance to meet a person as powerful as Mr. Lyle in person, Jerome was different in the sense that favonovel.com had a lot more experience compared to favonovel.com boyfriend and the rest of the members in that group.
Since Jerome was someone who knew how the world operated, who knew if favonovel.com would be able to obtain any good luck if favonovel.com presented himself before Chairman Lyle?
This was simply the kind of respect that ordinary people had for the wealthy and powerful.
Watching as the group of people rushed to greet Chairman Lyle—completely forgetting about Gerald in the process—Layla nervously asked, “…N-nothing bad is going to happen to us, right, Gerald…?”
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine! What’s the worst that could happen?” replied Gerald with a wry smile.
