“Oh my god. It really is Mr. Crawford.”
The other
young men and women suddenly recognized Gerald at a single glance.
Everyone was
nervous and confused at this time.
“Mr. Crawford?
What are you talking about? Brother Aiden! That is obviously a beggar. Are you
sure…”
Slap!
The young man
dressed in white was none other than Aiden. When he saw the young men calling
Gerald a beggar, he gave him a slap across the face immediately.
“Damn it! Who
are you calling a beggar? Are you tired of living?”
The young men
covered his face with his hand with an aggrieved expression on his face.
“Since Mr.
Crawford is here, should we go and say hello to him, Brother Aiden?”
Several of the
young men spoke up at this time. Gerald was one of the big bosses behind the
entire Mayberry Commercial Street and the strength of the Crawford family was
even more unimaginable. Whoever could get acquainted with Gerald would
definitely be able to soar up into the sky and that person would never be
exhausted for any resources in this lifetime. Moreover, Gerald was also the
boss of Aiden and his family.
He was
incredible.
“Wait a minute! It seems as though something is wrong!”
Aiden remained
calm as he observed the situation at the center of the banquet hall. He could
see Gerald standing alone in the center of the banquet hall and some of the
girls seated at the table beside him were all laughing at him at this time.
It suddenly
became clear to him.
This was
because Aiden already understood Gerald’s situation when he sent him back to
his campus yesterday.
Gerald had not
revealed his identity yet.
Aiden knew
this because Gerald would not be so humble and low-key if he had already
revealed his identity to his friends and schoolmates. Moreover, if his identity
had already been exposed, there would definitely be a number of bodyguards
protecting the entrance and exit of the university. More importantly, Gerald
would not even continue studying at Mayberry University.
If they rushed
over there right now, they would definitely expose Gerald’s identity and this
would undoubtedly place a lot of attention on Gerald. Moreover, they might even
cause a lot of unforeseen trouble to Gerald. At that time, he would only be
stabbing himself in the foot.
Aiden’s father
was very well versed in reading and handling people and awkward situations and
Aiden was not that bad at it too.
“Oh no,
Brother Aiden! It seems as though Mr. Crawford is getting ridiculed by those
scumbags. This is our chance to step in and assist him! We shouldn’t just sit
here and watch them ridicule him, right?” one of the second-generation rich
kids said anxiously.
“Of course
not! However, you should all remember that you mustn’t expose Mr. Crawford’s
true identity. As for what we should do next, you should all just follow in my
footsteps!”
Aiden already had a plan in mind and he quickly told his
group of friends everything that he knew.
After
discovering the truth, the group of people heaved a huge sigh of relief. After
all, if they had rushed over to Gerald earlier, they would have already exposed
his identity.
As for Gerald,
he was already getting ready to leave right then. After all, he was already
feeling very embarrassed because everyone was staring at him. Therefore, he
turned around as he prepared to leave the banquet hall.
“Friend,
please stay!”
Aiden and his
group of friends suddenly stood up at this time and everyone looked towards
Aiden at this time.
“Friend, if
you don’t mind, why don’t you come over here for a drink instead?”
“Yes, my
friend! Come over here and join us for a drink! We have an extra seat here!”
At this time,
all of the people with Aiden who were part of the rich second generation also
stood up at this time, and one of them was even breaking out in cold sweat.
“Huh? What is
happening?”
“The young
boss of Imperial Treasure Pavilion, Mr. Aiden, is actually inviting this beggar
over to his table?”
“Yes!
Moreover, Mr. Aiden and the rest of the young men and women seated at
th
at table are
representing the nine supreme businesses on Mayberry
Commercial
Street! They are of very noble statuses!”
“Aside from
Aiden from the Baker family, even Miss Elena from the Larson family
is also
sitting at that table now. This…this…”
No one knew what was happening.
The Baker
family, the Larson family, and even the Fisher family, who was formerly in
charge of Grand Marshall Restaurant, started their businesses entirely on
Mayberry Commercial Street and this was how they had made a huge fortune!
They were all
very close to Zack!
