[Chapter 47]
"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 that 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!
Each and every one of these young men and women was very distinguished.
