His legs were still crossed when he shouted, “Come in!”
Zack and Michael then led Spencer and the rest into the room.
“…H-huh? What?” said Stuart, stunned.
Everyone in the room was involved in the matter.
Even Spencer Letts was here and the ones taking the lead were Mr. Zeke, Mr. Lyle, and Mr. Wilson!
“This…” That was the only thing the trio managed to mutter. Stuart, Nathaniel, and Ava were dumbfounded.
When they finally came to their senses, the trio shouted, “Mr. Zeke! Mr. Lyle!”
“Mr. Crawford, they’re all here!” said Zack as he ignored the three people.
“…Huh? Mr. Crawford?”
“…That’s a joke right? The f*ck? He’s Mr. Crawford?”
Everyone was shocked. This was especially so for Stuart and Ava.
“M-M-Mr. Crawford…?” Ava felt like she could hardly breathe.
“Well, since everyone is finally here now, let’s begin. So, Mr. Ferguston, tell me about the papers again. Where do I need to sign?” said Gerald as he smiled.
“…I…” Stuart’s mind had gone blank and he could only gulp.
Stuart had initially thought that he would be able to wiggle out of this mess, scot-free. His plan was perfect, after all. Now that this had happened, the amount of trouble he was in had skyrocketed.
Never could he have dreamt that he would fall right into Gerald’s trap.
Who the f*ck could have even anticipated that Gerald was the actual Mr. Crawford?
Though Stuart turned to look at Ava, she couldn’t be bothered about him this time. Instead, she shouted, “Mr. Lyle, what did you call Gerald? Is he… Is he really Mr. Crawford…?”
“Step aside and don’t be a nuisance!” sneered Zack in response.
