At that moment, Xavia looked at Gerald, hinting with her eyes for him to take action.
“Just look at what they’re doing! Just wait till my godsister comes back!” said Yoel, dissatisfied.
Gerald simply took in a deep breath before picking his wine glass up and walking toward Xavia.
“…Bother? What are you doing?” asked Yoel.
“Don’t interfere. Mr. Crawford definitely knows what he’s doing!” said Zack though he too was quite surprised when he saw Gerald heading toward her. However, he knew Gerald well enough to know that he wouldn’t be doing this without a purpose.
“Ah, Mr. Crawford, you came here to propose a toast as well?”
As soon as the businessmen there saw him, they immediately made way for him.
They were all the same as Wallace. Regardless of whether they had the Long family backing them up or not, they couldn’t afford to offend Gerald.
After they hurriedly stood to the side, Gerald stood in front of Xavia.
Yunus was also there, and he sneered at Gerald while staring at him, his hand in his pocket.
“I’d like to propose a toast to you, Xavia!” said Gerald as he raised his wine glass.
While Xavia should have stood up to accept the toast, she simply remained seated while slowly shaking the red wine in her own glass.
Without the slightest warning, she then splashed the red wine all over his face!
“I accept! This glass of red wine is to repay you for how much you hurt me in the past!” sneered Xavia.
“Also, don’t you dare call me Xavia anymore! You don’t have the right to use my name! Pay more attention to that in the future!”
“…What?”
Seeing her splash the wine all over Gerald’s face left many, if not all, of the businessmen stunned.
