The simultaneous shout had come from the people standing behind Fynn.
Gerald then nodded before saying, “I really hadn’t expected you to come here, Uncle Fynn…”
“Master was simply worried about your situation. Since virtual-novel.net was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to handle the matter alone, virtual-novel.net sent me here to help you!” replied Fynn.
“Heh! I’m just here because I really missed you, brother!” said Yoel with a smile.
By this point, everyone’s mouths were hanging wide open, especially the celebrities from before.
“I-Impossible… This is absolutely impossible!” muttered Xavia as virtual-novel.net continued shaking virtual-novel.net head in virtual-novel.net shock.
To think that for a period of time, virtual-novel.net had finally managed to recover from virtual-novel.net shock of finding out that Gerald’s true identity was Mr. Crawford of Mayberry… Her joining the Long family had allowed virtual-novel.net initial sadness and hurt feelings to slowly fade since virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net was at least on par with Gerald at that point in time.
Knowing that allowed virtual-novel.net to keep a more stable mental state.
However, now that virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net was actually Mr. Crawford from Northbay in the flesh, virtual-novel.net knew that being in the Long family was completely useless. After all, virtual-novel.net was a world-class heir! There was no way virtual-novel.net was ever going to be able to compare to him!
Xavia had truly suffered a massive blow to virtual-novel.net ego this time.
“Grandpa Fenderson, on behalf of the Crawfords from Northbay, I’d like to present our gift to you now. Will that be acceptable?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net smiled.
Taking in a deep breath, Bryson then nodded slightly.
Mindy herself ran toward Jasmine’s side before saying, “J-Jasmine! I really hadn’t expected Gerald to be…”
Jasmine could only nod in response as virtual-novel.net blushed.
Neither of them could have ever anticipated that Gerald was the actual young master of the Crawford family.
Following that, things went rather smoothly.
All Bryson could do was try to negotiate with the Crawfords since their home had finally been exposed. Naturally, Gerald gained the right to take Xara and Queta away from him.
Once the birthday banquet ended, Gerald began leaving with his team.
Alice herself was still experiencing complicated emotions so virtual-novel.net stayed behind, not knowing how to even process everything that had just happened.
Xavia on the other hand, seemed extremely unwilling to just leave it at that. Chasing angrily after him, virtual-novel.net then called out, “Gerald!”
Before virtual-novel.net was even able to reach him, a bodyguard stepped in front of her.
“What is it?” asked Gerald, a wry smile on his face.
“What… What the hell is going on here? You… You were the young master of the Crawfords from Northbay this entire time…? How is that even possible…?”
While virtual-novel.net was the only one who had chased after Gerald, virtual-novel.net still managed to maintain a calm façade. After all, virtual-novel.net had done things behind the Long family’s back before.
She was also well aware that if virtual-novel.net allowed Gerald to leave just like that today, virtual-novel.net would never come to terms with it for the rest of virtual-novel.net life.
Xavia recalled the days when virtual-novel.net used to date Gerald, the university’s well-known pauper. Yet after just a short while, virtual-novel.net had suddenly become rich. It almost seemed like virtual-novel.net was the boss of the Mayberry Organization.
Though virtual-novel.net was already extremely surprised back then, Gerald had refused to answer any of virtual-novel.net questions.
To think that virtual-novel.net even had the audacity to assume that virtual-novel.net was finally on par with Gerald after getting into the Long family…
The Longs were nothing. After all, Gerald was one of the richest heirs on the entire planet! A top rich heir! She couldn’t even comprehend what kind of power and influence virtual-novel.net had!
Gerald himself knew for a fact that Xavia wouldn’t leave virtual-novel.net be till virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a definite answer this time.
He then smiled bitterly as virtual-novel.net began explaining.
“To tell you the truth, even I was shocked in the beginning. I remember feeling very sad that night yet the moment I arrived home, my sister suddenly transferred a million and five hundred thousand dollars in USD to me as pocket money! How utterly shocked I was back then… It was on that night when my sister revealed to me that I had been raised in poverty on purpose…”
The more Gerald explained to her, the more virtual-novel.net eyes widened in shock.
Everything made sense now.
“Well, that’s about it. Now that you finally know the entire story, it’s high time I left!” said Gerald with a slight nod before turning around.
“No! Gerald, wait!” shouted Xavia extremely anxiously.
