“Exactly! Do you know that I nearly became Gerald’s girlfriend? How dare you treat me like this?”
Quinn also shrieked.
When they saw the group of respected people who were clustering around Gerald earlier at the top of the building, they were already extremely shocked.
Quinton and Howard fell silent throughout the whole time as their faces were pale with fear.
“Let them go…”
Gerald said as he walked down.
“You heard him! He asked you to let us go!”
Quinn shouted.
Gerald was really the Mr. Crawford from Mayberry Commercial Street. He was the Mr. Crawford who owned the entire Mayberry Commercial Street. He was simply too amazing!
This whole surprising reveal was just too shocking!
Quinn was about to reach her maximum limit!
“Gerald! Gerald! I always knew that you were different compared to them. I was wrong in the past. I always wanted to get your attention and that is the reason why I used to mock you in the past. In fact, I was only doing it because I liked you but you did not like me at all!”
Quinn kept trying to flatter Gerald as she rushed in front of him.
Gerald felt goosebumps creeping all over his body as soon as he heard her words.
Fuck! This kind of explanation was simply too cringy, right? She had always been taunting him and mocking him because she wanted to get his attention?
“Mr. Crawford!”
Quinton, Howard and both of their new girlfriends were all suddenly respectful towards Gerald all of a sudden.
How respectful were they willing to be?
It is to the point that anything Gerald would request of them to do, they would be willing to do it completely!
He could do and say as he pleased, just like those big shots in the movies.
But at that instance, there were flashes of evil thoughts briefly through Gerald’s mind.
After all, deep down, Gerald had never been the kind of domineering person.
“Mr. Crawford, what do you plan to do with them? You can take necessary measures when it is necessary!”
Zack hinted him from aside. After all, Gerald’s identity has already been exposed to these few people!
“No, no, no! Mr. Crawford. Ahh! No, I mean Gerald, you are still the pathetic pauper, Gerald. We don’t know who you are and we have already completely forgotten everything that happened today!”
Quinton was always the smartest amongst the lot.
He immediately caught on and understood what Zack meant.
