Gerald then nodded before saying, “I really hadn’t expected you to come here, Uncle Fynn…”
“Master was simply worried about your situation. Since he was afraid that you wouldn’t be able to handle the matter alone, he sent me here to help you!” replied Fynn.
“Heh! I’m just here because I really missed you, brother!” said Yoel with a smile.
By this point, everyone’s mouths were hanging wide open, especially the celebrities from before.
“I-Impossible… This is absolutely impossible!” muttered Xavia as she continued shaking her head in her shock.
To think that for a period of time, she had finally managed to recover from her shock of finding out that Gerald’s true identity was Mr. Crawford of Mayberry… Her joining the Long family had allowed her initial sadness and hurt feelings to slowly fade since she knew that she was at least on par with Gerald at that point in time.
Knowing that allowed her to keep a more stable mental state.
However, now that she realized that he was actually Mr. Crawford from Northbay in the flesh, she knew that being in the Long family was completely useless. After all, he was a world-class heir! There was no way she was ever going to be able to compare to him!
Xavia had truly suffered a massive blow to her ego this time.
“Grandpa Fenderson, on behalf of the Crawfords from Northbay, I’d like to present our gift to you now. Will that be acceptable?” asked Gerald as he smiled.
Taking in a deep breath, Bryson then nodded slightly.
Mindy herself ran toward Jasmine’s side before saying, “J-Jasmine! I really hadn’t expected Gerald to be…”
Jasmine could only nod in response as she blushed.
Neither of them could have ever anticipated that Gerald was the actual young master of the Crawford family.
Following that, things went rather smoothly.
All Bryson could do was try to negotiate with the Crawfords since their home had finally been exposed. Naturally, Gerald gained the right to take Xara and Queta away from him.
Once the birthday banquet ended, Gerald began leaving with his team.
