Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 592

Wallace had an incredulous look on his face as he held on to his now swollen cheek. After all, he was someone who had Mr. Long to back him up!

"Oh, sorry Mr. Quinnens! My hands felt a little itchy today so I couldn't help myself from hitting you!" sneered Gerald.

As soon as Wallace heard this, he immediately stood up again. The nerve of this person! Wallace got into position, seemingly ready to hit Gerald back.

However, Gerald simply continued glaring at Wallace with one hand in his pocket. He didn't move an inch.

It was at that moment when Wallace suddenly came to his senses.

He realized that regardless of who was backing him up, he was still dealing with Gerald right now, the richest man in Mayberry City! And his sister was even more amazing than he was! Putting their family background aside, the Crawford family wasn't too far off in terms of wealth and power compared to the Longs.

If Wallace actually hit Gerald now, the Long family would probably be unable, or rather, unwilling to protect him! After all, why would the Longs start a war with the Crawfords just for his sake? Wallace shuddered as he thought about it.

Today, he had already assumed some unwarranted authority to embarrass Gerald. Since he had already done that, he knew he shouldn't push his luck.

Wallace was now well aware that he shouldn't provoke Gerald any further.

"I'll sit here then, Mr. Quinnes, or is there going to be another problem?" sneered Gerald as he slowly shook his slightly swollen hand. Before Wallace could reply, Gerald had already sat on one of the previous seats he had earlier been denied.

"That won't be a problem at all, Mr. Crawford. Feel free to sit there!" said Wallace, his tone much more decent now.

As for Xavia, she could only stare at Gerald in surprise. She had initially thought that Gerald would still be as conscientious and low-profile as before, but he had changed! He was now completely different from how he used to be in the past.

The slap he gave Wallace really surprised her earlier.

Regardless of her slight shock, it still wouldn't affect anything!

After that scene, the banquet simply resumed. It was as if nothing had ever happened. Many of the guests who had most probably been bribed by Yunus-gathered around the man to give toasts to him. All o them neglected Gerald on purpose.

"Say, Yoel, Aiden, I'm going to the gents. Accompany me, will you?" said Gerald with a wry smile on his face.

The three of them then headed to the gents together.

"For f*ck's sake! I'm so angry right now! Everyone's trying their hardest to flatter that Long family guy! Mr. Crawford, I think Yunus and your ex, Xavia, are deliberately trying their hardest to go against you!" said Aiden angrily as he punched the wall.

"He's right! I can still remember when my godsister was here in the past. As long as she was present, nobody would even dare to breathe loudly. In one of the past celebrity banquets, Wallace accidentally knocked over a cup in front of her. You should have seen him! He was so frightened that he immediately knelt and kowtowed in front of her! You're simply too nice toward everyone, Mr. Crawford!" said Yoel. Both Yoel and Aiden were aware of how kind-hearted Gerald was. It was the reason why they were always worried and concerned about him wherever he went. After all, Gerald treated both of them very well. Although he grew up with his sister, the two siblings had completely different personalities.

"Just forget about it. We'll talk about this later, I just want to-"

Gerald was wiping his hands with a tissue paper as he spoke. However, his sentence ended prematurely when he saw the girl standing near the gent's entrance. Her arms were crossed and she was leaning against the wall.

All three of them had no idea how long she had been watching and listening in to them.

The girl simply sneered at them as she stared at Gerald.

Gerald had initially wanted to say that he wanted to settle the matter regarding Xavia first.

To his surprise, Xavia was already waiting for him outside the bathroom.

Seeing Xavia, Yoel and Aiden looked at Gerald before saying, "We'll wait for you outside, Mr. Crawford."

After saying that, both of them left.
