The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 590
By then, several celebrities had already noticed that the main seat was still empty, and hearing Wallaceâs words shocked them even further.
âWhatâs going on?â
âWell, Mr. Crawford was about to take the main seat, but Wallace didnât allow him to!â
âWhat? How dare he do that? That seat had always belonged to Ms. Crawford in the previous years since she was the CEO. As her younger brother, Mr. Crawford should rightfully inherit her estates. Why the hell is Wallace acting so boldly?â
âHumph, who knows? Mr. Crawford must be feeling embarrassed by now!â
As the crowd continued gossiping, something else was happening outside.
Eight Rolls-Royce Phantoms had arrived at the manorâs entrance, and immediately after they stopped, more than a dozen bodyguards wearing black suits got out of the cars before quickly forming two rows.
The grand entrance soon attracted the attention of the crowd, and even Gerald was compelled to look out the manor. The main carâs driver got out and respectfully opened the Rolls-Royce Phantomâs door.
Out stepped a rich, young man dressed in a suit with both hands in his pockets. When they saw him, his bodyguards instantly bowed.
âWho is he? This is such a grand entrance!â
Most of the crowd was astonished by the scene.
Wallace on the other hand, quickly rushed toward the young man to greet him. âMr. Long, thank you for attending! Your presence here makes Mountainview Manor shine!â said Wallace excitedly before bowing as well.
âWhat? Mr. Long? Heâs the rich heir of the Long family! Their family has centuriesâ worth of history!â
âF*ck! No wonder Wallace was being so bold today!â
âSo it was Mr. Long who was giving him this much confidence!â
The crowd continued whispering among themselves until eventually, all of them looked at Mr. Long before simultaneously saying, âItâs a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Long!â
âGreetings, uncles, and elders! Hahaha! Youâre all being way too formal toward me! This is my first time officially being here in Mayberry. With that said, itâs also my first time attending a celebrity banquet here! Iâd never have imagined that all you people would be so nice to me!â said Mr. Long with a smile.
âItâs an honor to have you here, Mr. Long. Please, have a seat!â
âIndeed, Mr. Long. Youâre more than worthy to take the main seat!â
By then, most of the wealthy businessmen and higher-upsâincluding the ones from Mayberryâhad started showing their true colors as they shared their sentiments.
Though there were some families in Mayberry who had big names and long histories comparable to the Lourdes and Walt family, none of them could hold a candle to the Long family.
After all, it was said that the Long family had a very strong position in America since they were one of the first few people to settle there. Their power and influence had only grown stronger since then.
âAh, everyoneâs being so nice to me, but today, Iâm not the main star of the banquet. Iâm just here to accompany my sister-in-law and have a good time! Hahaha!â replied Mr. Long as he laughed.
âSister-in-law? Could you possibly mean Fred Longâs fiancée? I heard some time ago that Fred Long found himself a fiancée and theyâre already set to marry!â said Wallace as he rushed forward with a smile on his face.
âYouâre absolutely right, Mr. Quinnens!â responded Mr. Long with a wry smile as Mr. Quinnens moved out of the way.
From the car behind him, its driver got out and opened the door to the passengerâs seat.
A noblewoman dressed in an expensive-looking dress then stepped out. In her arms, was a cute little dog and her two maids immediately stood next to her.
âSister-in-law, join us, please!â said Mr. Long, his face beaming.
The woman then walked toward the main street as the crowd stared in awe. Aiden and the other simply stared at her, their eyes widened, before looking back at Gerald.
Gerald himself couldnât believe who he was seeing before him.
The girl with the dog in hand was none other than Xavia Yorke, the person he had been searching for all this time.
