Gerald felt very uneasy after hearing this news. He was clearly the one who had resolved the matter that Alice
was referring
to.
Indeed, Gerald
did not want to have anything to do with Alice. Moreover, the
only reason
why he decided to step
up
and resolve
the situation that night was for Naomi’s sake.
However, at this moment, Alice had obviously misunderstood
that Quinton was the one who helped her resolve the
matter. She
even felt that Quinton was very awesome and that was the reason why she made
the decision to get
together with
Quinton.
Alice was
indeed a very beautiful girl and she had never been in love before. She was an
absolute goddess.
Gerald would
be lying if he said that he was not captivated by Alice’s appearance at all.
Should he look
for an opportunity to tell Alice the truth? Even if she did not want to thank
him, at least she
would find out
the truth and she would not end up getting in a relationship with someone just
because of a mere
misunderstanding!
Gerald thought
to himself at this time.
The group of
people continued talking and laughing before they took a cab to Grand Marshall
Restaurant on
Mayberry
Commercial Street.
The opening
ceremony of Grand Marshall Restaurant was naturally very lively because of all
the people that they
knew and the
entire lobby on the first floor was overcrowded at this time. Those
who came in
and out of the
restaurant
were all wealthy and powerful people.
“Quinton is really amazing! Alice, does it mean that Grand
Marshall Restaurant on Mayberry Commercial Street
will belong to
the Ziegler family in the future? Can we come here and play whenever we want
to?” Jacelyn asked
as she looked
at Alice.
“Of course!
Alice won’t forget us just because she has Brother Quinton now! Isn’t that
right, Alice?”
After the
girls stepped into the restaurant, they were all very excited and they could
not help but look around
the
restaurant.
“Well, we’re
all sisters. Of course, you can come here whenever you want to!”
“In fact, you
might not know some news but Grand Marshall Restaurant doesn’t belong entirely
to the Ziegler
family!” Alice
suddenly told the girls as they were all walking around the reception area.
“What? Didn’t
the Ziegler family buy Grand Marshall Restaurant?”
“No, the
Ziegler family only bought the rights to operate Grand Marshall Restaurant. The
real moneymaker and
owner is the
big boss who owns the entire Mayberry Commercial Street. In fact, the whole
commercial street
belongs to
this big boss!” Alice said as the expression on her face changed immediately.
“Everything on the Mayberry Commercial Street is all owned by
one person? Isn’t this place organized by the
Mayberry
Chamber of Commerce?”
“Oh my god.
Who does not know that the Mayberry Commercial Street is like an endless stream
of money? Wasn’t it
reported on
the news that the total amount spent on Mayberry Commercial Street on a daily
basis is about
fourteen
million dollars? That is billions of dollars worth here!”
“Of course,
Grand Marshall Restaurant also accounts for more than a few million dollars
every month and that
would amount
to more than tens of millions of dollars a year! The owner is making tons of
money without even
lifting a
finger!”
Jacelyn and
the other girls almost exploded when they heard the news.
It turned out
that Mayberry Commercial Street was not organized by the Mayberry Chamber of
Commerce. Instead,
one single big
boss owned almost every business on the street.
Wow! How much
would that be worth?
“No way! I’m
going insane just thinking about it. I want to find out if that big boss has a
son. If he has a
son, I hope I
can marry him!”
Jacelyn and
the other girls were all obsessed at this time.
Alice smiled bitterly before she shook her head and said,
“Quinton told me that the big bosses of Mayberry
Commercial
Street are a pair of young brother and sister. Among them, the brother owns
seventy percent of the
business and
establishments on Mayberry Commercial Street. The people here refer to him as
Mr. Crawford and
everyone says
he seems like a very cool person. They even held a welcoming banquet for him at
noon today.
Unfortunately,
Quinton only received the confirmation to run the restaurant later in the
afternoon and he did
not have the
chance to meet the owner!”
At this time,
Alice could not help but think to herself. This young man was such an
extraordinary person. How
could he
possibly be attracted to an ordinary girl like herself? Moreover, Alice really
wanted to find out more
about this
young owner and she tried to look him up on the Internet but she could not find
any news about him
at all.
Ugh!
At this time,
Gerald was listening to their conversation and he could not help but feel a
little embarrassed.
This was
especially because Alice said that Mr. Crawford was very young and cool.
