Gerald shook his head.
“Hmph, it’s fine if you don’t go. Why are you putting up a show?”
A female secretary said in dissatisfaction.
After that, they went to the desk where Leon was sitting to give him a toast.
Seeing that everyone came to give a toast to her boyfriend, Xyla peeked at Gerald coldly, who was sitting there all alone.
She badly wanted to enjoy the look of humiliation and uneasiness on Gerald’s face.
‘How dare you reject me that year! Look at the difference between you and me!
‘No, look at the disparity between you and my boyfriend!’
‘Do you really think that I invited you out of goodwill?
‘You’re wrong!’
Xyla wanted to humiliate Gerald deliberately. She thought that the humiliation he suffered would be greater if the environment they were in was grander.
She usually did not have the chance to experience that kind of pleasure from revenge.
On the other hand, Vincy saw Gerald sitting there alone. It became clear to her that Xyla invited him here just to embarrass him.
She wanted to go and keep Gerald company.
“Where are you going?”
At last, Lennard grabbed Vincy’s arm savagely.
Vincy never expected to see Lennard act like this.
She realized that what Xyla said just now might have influenced Lennard.
So Vincy refrained from saying anything else.
At that moment, there were a lot of people from the neighboring tables who came to toast Leon and Xyla.
While attending to these people, Xyla stole a glance at Gerald.
The more she looked at him, the happier she became.
But in that instant.
“Mr. Crawford!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
The person who shouted was a middle-aged man. He was surrounded by a lot of people, and he seemed like a very influential person.
It was more so with Xyla. She had been staring at Gerald the entire time. Hence, she noticed it right away when the men were rushing towards him.
She nearly choked on her red wine.
“Mr. Crawford? What’s happening? What kind of status and identity does Chairman Gordon have? Why does he know who Gerald is? He’s nothing but a loser, right?”
Xyla wondered in surprise.
The pleasure which she gained from her revenge just now had faded away instantly.
She started shifting around anxiously.
Vincy looked over too. She was filled with a sense of excitement inwardly for some unknown reason.
Lennard on the other hand, felt his jealousy grow stronger.
That group of people who approached Leon peered in Gerald’s direction. What exactly was happening?
“And you are?”
That group of people stopped in front of Gerald. Gerald was astonished since he did not know any of them.
“D*mn! What’s going on? Chairman Gordon went there to greet him, but that guy doesn’t even know who Chairman Gordon is!”
“It’s so frustrating! How impolite can that boy be! Who taught him his manners?”
