“What’s going on?”
“Well, Mr. Crawford was about to take the main seat, but Wallace didn’t allow him to!”
“What? How dare he do that? That seat had always belonged to Ms. Crawford in the previous years since she was the CEO. As her younger brother, Mr. Crawford should rightfully inherit her estates. Why the hell is Wallace acting so boldly?”
“Humph, who knows? Mr. Crawford must be feeling embarrassed by now!”
As the crowd continued gossiping, something else was happening outside.
Eight Rolls-Royce Phantoms had arrived at the manor’s entrance, and immediately after they stopped, more than a dozen bodyguards wearing black suits got out of the cars before quickly forming two rows.
The grand entrance soon attracted the attention of the crowd, and even Gerald was compelled to look out the manor. The main car’s driver got out and respectfully opened the Rolls-Royce Phantom’s door.
Out stepped a rich, young man dressed in a suit with both hands in his pockets. When they saw him, his bodyguards instantly bowed.
“Who is he? This is such a grand entrance!”
Most of the crowd was astonished by the scene.
Wallace on the other hand, quickly rushed toward the young man to greet him. “Mr. Long, thank you for attending! Your presence here makes Mountainview Manor shine!” said Wallace excitedly before bowing as well.
“What? Mr. Long? He’s the rich heir of the Long family! Their family has centuries’ worth of history!”
“F*ck! No wonder Wallace was being so bold today!”
“So it was Mr. Long who was giving him this much confidence!”
