That person was Hayward.
He was still afraid that he might bump into Hayward on the way here. If he saw Hayward, Lilian and Sharon had to be around too.
Gerald did not really want to see either of them, but he saw him, and surprisingly enough, Hayward and Jayce were high school classmates.
“Hey, Jayce! I’ve been waiting!” Hayward greeted them proudly. He was very confident because after all, he was the host of the entire event for now.
“Yeah. There was a pretty bad jam outside. Anyhow, let me introduce you to my girlfriend, May, and that is May’s mother, Mrs. Leny. Those over there are May’s friends. We all came together!” Jayce said.
Together with Hayward were a few other young men and women which also included Sharon and Lilian. Hayward also introduced his friends to Jayce.
“This is Hayward, and his family owns three houses here!” Jayce said enviously.
After the introduction, May and her mother were stunned. They knew that Yorknorth Mountain was going to be developed into a big recreational center. They were even planning to broaden the tourist area and build more properties here! This place would be a very popular spot in the future, and this Hayward owned three properties here! It was enough to keep him sustained his entire life.
May’s mother was very impressed.
“That’s quite exaggerated. After all, Mr. Crawford was the one who decided to invest in this land! He’s the hero of this story.” Hayward said respectfully.
“Mr. Crawford? Who is this Mr. Crawford? I heard that he sold the entire company, and now, he’s building a new recreational place?” May said.
Ever since she had gotten together with Jayce, she had been reading news about the rich and wealthy.
