At the same time, in the most
luxurious room in the manor, a middle-aged man with a very majestic aura was
socializing with a group of businessmen.
He was the owner of Wayfair
Mountain Entertainment on Mayberry Commercial Street and this naturally made
him the richest man in Mayberry City.
However, everyone was surprised
at this time.
This was because as soon as Mr.
Lyle answered the phone, he stood up in shock before he ran out of the room
frantically.
“What’s wrong with Mr. Lyle?”
Everyone
could not understand his behavior at all.
At the front desk, Sebastian
had not entered his room yet and he saw Gerald entering the manor again. He
couldn’t help but offer to help Jane get rid of Gerald.
“Miss Jane, why don’t you just
call for security? There isn’t any other way to deal with this kind of
hillbilly!”
Sebastian smiled coldly at
Gerald.
Jane nodded before she motioned
for a few security guards to step forward.
“Stop!”
At this time, Zack rushed out
to the front hall as quickly as he could.
Everyone was stunned!
“Lyle…Mr. Lyle?”
Jane and the rest of the girls
were in shock.
Sebastian quickly greeted Zack
in a respectful manner. “Hello, Uncle Lyle. My name is Sebastian Lewis and my
father is Jacob Lewis. We met during the last reception.”
Sebastian rushed forward to
greet him immediately.
Unexpectedly, Zack did not even
look at him.
However, he walked straight
towards Gerald.
He even pushed Jane and the
other girls away in a rude manner.
“Are you Gerald?” Zack asked
respectfully.
Gerald
nodded. “Yes, I am.”
“So, you know Jessica?”
“She’s my sister!” Gerald
replied immediately.
Zack bowed ninety degrees
respectfully in front of Gerald.
“Hello, Mr. Crawford. I am
Zack!”
“Okay.”
This scene really surprised
Jane and everyone else.
Sebastian was also shocked at
this time.
Mr. Lyle actually bowed in
front of this hillbilly?
Who was he?
Gerald was also dumbfounded at
this time. He knew that his sister was the boss of this commercial street but
he really had no idea that his sister had such a powerful presence here. He
really couldn’t believe that his sister actually had the power to make Zack
give him this sort of preferential treatment.
To be honest, Gerald was still
not used to the life of a second-generation rich kid!
Moreover, he was still in
disbelief that this commercial street actually belonged to him.
“Yes, Mr. Lyle. My sister asked
me to come over here to sign something,” Gerald replied politely.
“Yes, Mr. Crawford, we’ll need
you to sign the renewal contract. This commercial street, including this manor,
belongs to you and your sister. I’ve wanted to pay you a visit for the longest
time but your sister did not allow me to do so.”
Zack
quickly wiped the sweat off his forehead.
He was really happy that Gerald
was so polite towards him.
However, Jane and Sebastian
were dumbfounded at this time.
What?
This pauper actually owned
Mayberry Commercial Street?
He was actually the true owner
of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment?
“Tell me! Who chased Mr.
Crawford out of this place earlier?” Zack asked as he turned around and his
eyes swept through the crowd of people with a cold expression on his face.
The identity of the real boss
of the Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, Jessica, was very special and she was
the only reason that Zack could enjoy his current life.
Now, his subordinates had
nearly chased the second boss out of his own building!
If Jessica were to find out
about it, wouldn’t he have to return to his miserable life overnight?
Jane was so flustered at this
time and she kept her head lowered, not daring to look up or say anything at
all.
At this time, Sebastian was
still very suspicious of Gerald’s identity. “Uncle Lyle, are you sure you’re
not mistaken at all? How could this pauper possibly be the owner of Mayberry
Commercial Street?”
Slap!
Zack slapped Sebastian across
the face as soon as he heard his words. “A*shole! What did you just say?”
“I’m
sorry, Uncle Lyle. I didn’t say anything…”
Sebastian used his hand to
cover his face and he was filled with grievances at this time.
Even though he was also from a
very wealthy family background, he was nothing compared to Zack.
“Men, throw this man out of
this place immediately!”
Zack gave the security guards
the order immediately.
“Yes, sir!”
A group of security guards
rushed up immediately before pushing Sebastian and the second-tier actress out
of the manor immediately.
That was embarrassing!
Sebastian felt really very embarrassed today!
Gerald simply watched what was
happening but he remained silent.
He really did not expect Zack
to be so loyal even though he looked so domineering!
Ahh!
After that, Gerald followed
Zack into the manor.
Zack quickly showed Gerald
around the manor before he told him a little about himself.
At this time, Gerald finally
understood that Zack and his wife used to sell buns from a small store.
Similarly, Jessica had also been very poor in the past.
At
that time, Jessica had no money at all and she was about to beg for food from
Zack and his wife. It was then that they had both given her a job instead.
Later, when Jessica overcame
her poverty and became extremely wealthy, she was the one who had given Zack
his current position.
Therefore, the only reason why
Zack could become such a wealthy and influential person in Mayberry City was
because of the Crawford family!
After that, Gerald signed the
renewal contract and he realized that most of the shops in Mayberry Commercial
Street were registered under his own name. Therefore, it wouldn’t be an
exaggeration to say that he was the owner of Mayberry Commercial Street.
Gerald would never have dreamt
that he would ever be such a powerful and influential person!
After that, Zack set up a table
for Gerald in a private room.
Since he had not eaten the
whole day, Gerald was a little hungry at this time.
When Gerald was eating, Zack
smiled and said, “Mr. Crawford, please enjoy your meal. Once you’re done
eating, let me bring you to visit some of your other businesses. Miss Crawford
has given me this order, as she wants you to familiarize yourself with your
family’s industries as soon as possible so you’ll be able to live the life of a
second-generation rich kid and leave your past behind.”
After that, a thought flashed
through Zack’s mind immediately.
“I’ll be right back, Mr.
Crawford.”
After that, Zack walked out of
the room to make a phone call and said one simple sentence, “I want all of you
to come up.”
After that, he went downstairs
immediately.
Gerald
did not know what the manager was up to. He was starving and he quickly ate the
big Australian abalone that was served to him.
He was enjoying his food
happily when the door to his private room was suddenly pushed open.
After that, five or six
beautiful women walked into the room.
It was Jane and the other
beautiful girls at the reception earlier.
At this time, they were looking
at Gerald with a completely different expression on their faces.
Jane was also smiling sweetly
at Gerald as she said, “Mr. Crawford, I’m really sorry for what happened
earlier.”
“Sorry, Mr. Crawford!”
All of the other beautiful
girls quickly chimed in immediately.
“What are you doing here?”
Gerald wiped his mouth as soon
as he was done with his dinner.
To be honest, even though the
girls looked down on him at the front desk earlier, Gerald did not have any
hard feelings towards them.
Instead, he simply wanted to
get things done for his sister as soon as possible.
Then, he wanted to leave
immediately.
However, it seemed as though
Zack had already scolded all of the girls.
“We’re here to accompany you,
Mr. Crawford. We’re willing to do anything for you as long as you forgive us,
Mr. Crawford,” Jane said immediately.
The
beautiful girls who were all working at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment
undoubtedly had only one true purpose, which was to marry a rich man.
Therefore, they would
definitely take advantage of this opportunity that Mr. Lyle had given them to
make amends and build up a relationship with Gerald.
Even if they didn’t feel
apologetic at all, they could not help but rush forward immediately.
What was a rich man?
The man standing before them
now was a true rich man! He was the wealthiest and most powerful man here!
Gerald was shocked when he
heard her explanation.
Six of them?
This was just too shocking.
Gerald was stunned. At this
time, Jane took out a remote control before she pointed it at the wall.
Then, the entire cloth wall
started separating like a curtain and what appeared before Gerald’s sight was a
huge indoor swimming pool.
So, there was another secret in
this room!
After that, all of the
beautiful girls, including Jane, quickly took off their skirts.
Jane also removed her blouse as
she sat next to Gerald.
As Gerald was about to lose
control and succumb to temptation, his cell phone started ringing.
It was his sister.
Gerald
calmed down as he said, “Dear ladies, I will just step out for a moment.”
After that, Gerald ran out of
the room immediately.
It turned out that his sister
was calling to ask him about the renewal contract. After that, Jessica also
told Gerald to get used to being wealthy and she advised him to get out of the
influence of poverty.
After hanging up the phone,
Gerald wondered to himself if he should return to the room.
As he thought about it, he
suddenly reminisced about the days when he was dating Xavia. Back then, Gerald
was really deeply in love with Xavia and that was the reason why he respected
her and nothing sexual happened between them at all.
Gerald could feel his heart
aching when he thought about Xavia.
If Xavia were to find out that
he was rich now, would she change her mind and choose to get back with him
instead?
Ugh!
He suddenly thought of the
times where they were both holding hands as they walked in the cafeteria, the
library, and whenever they had spent time together.
At this time, Gerald’s
enthusiasm decreased because he did not want his first time to mean nothing at
all.
After that, Gerald decided not
to return to the room and he called Zack to inform him that he would be leaving
first.
After leaving the manor, Gerald
walked around Mayberry Commercial Street alone.
Everyone
who walked the street were well-dressed young people or bosses who were coming
in and out of the many different establishments.
He owned the Mayberry
Commercial Street. Gerald should not feel so inferior to others anymore!
Gerald had to keep reminding
himself of the fact.
At this time, a familiar voice
suddenly rang in his ear.
“Gerald!”
When Gerald turned around, he
saw Naomi and Alice standing in front of the entrance of a karaoke bar.
Moreover, Danny, Blondie and
the other boys were also there.
“Well, Gerald, it’s really you!
Didn’t you say that you were headed back to the dormitory? Why did you come to
the Mayberry Commercial Street instead? Why did you lie to me?”
Naomi ran over to Gerald before
she questioned him with a furious expression on her face.
Gerald was
left speechless.
