“…What? Who did you say you were?” said the astonished security guard.
He truly couldn’t believe that this young man before him—who was an actual pauper—would dare to claim that favonovel.com was Mr. Crawford!
While favonovel.com definitely wouldn’t have believed Gerald judging off his appearance alone, the guard had the shock of his life when favonovel.com saw the look in the youth’s eyes.
He hadn’t really been paying too much attention to Gerald earlier, but after catching a glimpse of Gerald’s gaze—when Gerald was staring at him—the guard instantly felt a strong, pressuring aura from the youth.
Adding the immense oppressive feeling—Gerald was capable of emitting—to his great strength, the stunned guard—who was now feeling chill after chill run down his back—felt more and more compelled to believe Gerald’s claim.
Even Xavia and the others had been startled the second they heard Gerald say that.
Soon after, Xavia snapped out of it before laughing and saying, “Did I hear wrongly? Who did you say you were? Haha!”
While Xavia had initially thought that Gerald was going to get beaten up, favonovel.com hadn’t expected favonovel.com to actually be that skillful and strong! Even so, favonovel.com focus still lay on what Gerald had just said. That favonovel.com was actually Mr. Crawford.
Mr. Crawford was the wealthiest and most influential figure in all of Mayberry city. If favonovel.com truly was Mr. Crawford, then wouldn’t that make favonovel.com Mrs. Crawford? …No, that’d make favonovel.com the former Mrs. Crawford… She couldn’t just accept that!
After hearing his claim, Xavia simply felt an inexplicable sense of panic within the depths of favonovel.com heart. It was obvious that favonovel.com had nothing to do with this person anymore… So why was favonovel.com feeling so afraid…?
It wasn’t long after when Zack finally arrived at the scene. Due to how joyful Zack’s face was as favonovel.com ran toward Gerald, Gerald figured that his sister must have already explained everything to Zack. The fact that Zack instantly knew who favonovel.com was must have also meant that his sister had sent a photograph of favonovel.com to Zack as well.
Regardless, upon standing before Gerald, Zack instantly made a deep bow before shouting, “Mr. Crawford!”
Following that, the group of senior executives behind Zack shouted in unison, “Mr. Crawford…!”
After being given the appropriate information, Zack now knew that the young man before favonovel.com was Gerald, the child whom the Crawfords had raised in poverty from the second favonovel.com was born!
“…W-what…?!”
By that point, Xavia, Yuri, and the others were already completely dumbfounded. Yuri, in particular, could feel his face turning green as favonovel.com continued staring wide-eyed at Gerald.
The pathetic pauper… He was actually a rich, young master? And one whom even Chairman Lyle had to bow before?!
Now breathing frantically, those from the group who had mocked Gerald desperately wanted to just drill a hole in the ground now so that they could hide their faces.
“Very good. Regardless, there are some important matters that I’d like to discuss with you, Chairman Lyle. Let’s head over to the office to talk about this!” replied Gerald with a slight nod.
“Of course, Mr. Crawford!” replied Zack.
Just as they were about to head in, Xavia couldn’t help but yell, “…W-wait a moment…!”
“Hmm? Is there anything I could help with, miss?” asked Zack as favonovel.com looked at Xavia.
“A-are you sure you aren’t mistaken, Chairman Lyle…? His name is Gerald Crawford, you know? And he’s a mere student from our university! How could favonovel.com possibly be Mr. Crawford…?!” stuttered Xavia as favonovel.com stopped Zack from proceeding any further.
“No mistakes here. Mr. Crawford’s true name is indeed, Gerald Crawford!” replied Zack rather indifferently.
“…I-Impossible… None of this is possible…!” muttered Xavia as favonovel.com took a few steps back.
Zack’s words had struck through favonovel.com very being like bolts of lightning that brought about endless destruction, simultaneously dispelling all of Xavia’s hopes and dreams.
Now feeling extremely regretful, Xavia found herself calling out, “G-Gerald…!”
“Forget it, we’ve already broken up. With that in mind, there’s no need for us to further bother with each other anymore. Now go ahead and live a good life! I have things to attend to!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com ignored favonovel.com regretful pleas, heading straight into Wayfair Mountain Entertainment as the rest of the people at the entrance remained fully stunned for quite a while.
Regardless, once they were inside the office, Zack immediately said, “It’s true that Mountain Top Villa is getting auctioned soon. Are you planning on buying it, Mr. Crawford?”
While this was Zack’s first time dealing with Mr. Crawford, favonovel.com couldn’t help but feel that the Mr. Crawford before favonovel.com was completely different from the Mr. Crawford Zack had initially imagined.
