Jaxon’s respectful attitude toward Gerald surprised everyone.
This was especially so for Xella, who was now looking at Gerald with a completely different expression on virtual-novel.net face.
She had used to think that Gerald only had personal connections with average statused people. To think that virtual-novel.net knew such a powerful and reputable individual as Jaxon!
What more, Jaxon had even taught the people who were planning to beat Gerald up a lesson. He didn’t give them any face at all!
“What a great coincidence! If it weren’t for you, I would already have been beaten up!” said Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
He had seen through Waylon’s act. If his guess was correct, then everything that had happened was orchestrated by Waylon. That was probably also the reason why both Waylon and Milo were laughing between themselves earlier.
Jaxon simply bowed slightly at Gerald’s comment.
What an awkward meal today… Gerald himself already felt full.
As for Francesca, after seeing Waylon getting beaten like that, virtual-novel.net didn’t have the mood to continue eating anymore. With that, virtual-novel.net decided to settle the bill first.
“Ah, Mr. Sanders, are you acquainted with Gerald? I’m the deputy director of X Bank. You seem like quite the capable man! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if any of your groups wish to use our bank for your funding and capital flow!”
Francesca wasn’t going to let the chance to befriend Jaxon slip away that easily.
After all, virtual-novel.net knew that Jaxon had the capability to make smaller subordinate companies use X Bank for their cash flow.
Instead of discussing the matter with Francesca, virtual-novel.net simply looked at Gerald to see his response.
Gerald simply nodded.
If Francesca hadn’t invited virtual-novel.net to join them for lunch today, virtual-novel.net may have been able to get through with virtual-novel.net business negotiations with ease. Since virtual-novel.net initial plan was disrupted because of him, Gerald thought that it would only be fair for virtual-novel.net to help virtual-novel.net out this time. This was the only reason why virtual-novel.net agreed to it.
At that moment, they could hear Waylon and the group of people fighting again inside the room.
It was clear, however, that the people were beating Waylon up this time.
Though Warrick had planned to use Waylon to befriend Jaxon, virtual-novel.net ended up unexpectedly offending virtual-novel.net instead!
How could Warrick not be angry?
Waylon was now the group’s punching bag to release all their anger and frustration.
Gerald only sneered when virtual-novel.net heard Waylon’s screams. In fact, virtual-novel.net felt that they weren’t beating virtual-novel.net hard enough.
Xella continued looking at Gerald, a complicated expression on virtual-novel.net face.
When virtual-novel.net saw that Gerald was only talking to Cindy and wasn’t paying virtual-novel.net any attention, deep in virtual-novel.net heart, Xella couldn’t help but feel slightly uncomfortable
And just like that, the meal was over.
Gerald went back to his hotel with Jaxon as the driver.
“Cindy, I can finally see why your grandfather told me that this young man’s identity wasn’t all that simple!” said Francesca after a while as virtual-novel.net sighed.
While they were having dinner together last night, Cindy’s grandfather had emphasized that Gerald wasn’t as simple as virtual-novel.net looked. She hadn’t thought much about it back then, but virtual-novel.net could now see what virtual-novel.net meant.
“I hadn’t expected virtual-novel.net to be so powerful and well connected either! Actually, now that I think about it, mom! I finally understand what happened back when I was at the karaoke bar last time!” replied Cindy as virtual-novel.net smacked virtual-novel.net forehead with virtual-novel.net palm.
Xella herself remained silent. She was waiting for the people inside to finish fighting before fishing Waylon out. She didn’t dare to go in at the moment, nor did virtual-novel.net dare to stay alone. She was terrified that Warrick and his men would also take their revenge on her.
Earlier, virtual-novel.net had followed Gerald out quietly when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net leaving.
However, Gerald paid virtual-novel.net no notice and simply left without saying another word.
