Chapter 567
After picking everyone up, there were four people in the car as they headed for Fuenti. It took roughly around twenty minutes for them to arrive at Sunny Springs. Gerald really hadn’t expected to see such a huge crowd. Luxury cars continued to enter, one after another, and several hawkers had congregated at Sunny Springs’s entrance. After all, this was their prime opportunity to make a profit off the ever-growing crowd. Rather than a birthday celebration, it looked like an entire festival. ‘How lively!’ Gerald thought to himself. A red carpet had been laid out from the entrance all the way to the hotel, and dozens of employees were rushing around, busy welcoming any honored guests they could see. If it weren’t for Zack, Gerald really wouldn’t have thought of hosting something on such a grand scale. It didn’t even feel like the event was to celebrate his birthday anymore. “Christ, there’s so many people here! How did you even manage to make a reservation, Gerald? It’s impossi

“Settle down now, today’s Gerald’s birthday and he said that he’d treat us to dinner. Since all of you don’t seem to have anything better to do, let’s just celebrate his birthday together! Show us to the restaurant, Gerald!” suggested Mr. Winters. “What? We’re busy dad. You know, we’re going to have dinner with some of Boss’s friends. Why don’t you come with us instead?” asked the first sister in law. She then turned to look at Francis before saying, “Fran, Jazz, both of you can run along now. You don’t have to waste any more time here, and remember to be on your best behavior when your leader arrives!” Francis and his colleagues nodded immediately. They knew how important the event was. After glaring at Gerald one final time, Francis left with his colleagues. As for Queeny, she had been quietly observing Gerald the entire time. Just a while ago, everyone was making fun of Gerald. Some were even openly insulting him. However, Queeny knew better since she was already aware tha

It was the Jungs. Willie had been very excited about the event. However, as soon as he saw Gerald, his expression immediately darkened. Gerald himself dreaded seeing them as well. In the past, he would’ve still greeted them out of politeness. Now, however, such courtesy was no longer necessary. “Oh my god, look! There are so many luxury cars!” “Really? Where? Oh god, you’re right!” Scream after scream could be heard from within the crowd as the cars made their way through. The crowd made sure to split accordingly to allow the cars to pass. As they did so, the employees readied themselves to welcome their new guests. A middle-aged couple stepped out of the first vehicle, hand in hand. “A warm welcome to Mr. Samuel Edwards and Mrs. Jennifer Edwards!” As soon as the employees saw the couple, all of them immediately bowed. “Oh my god, it’s the Edwards! Mr. Edward is the top philanthropist in Sunnydale! He used to be the richest man there too! I didn’t expect him to come he

It was then that the rest of the Winters realized that the celebration was being held for such a powerful figure. Gerald, on the other hand, was being squeezed within the crowd, feeling slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected Zack to go all out with the celebration, nor had he imagined that so many famous celebrities would be invited over. He had estimated for only thirty people to participate at most, and this was clearly way more than that! “Wait! Guys, look! Isn’t that Mr. Zebriel from Sunnydale?” “Oh f*ck, it is! Even Mr. Zebriel’s here!” The crowd had been continuously shocked by the main guests of the event. “Say mom, I’m going to go take some photos, could you guys take care of my stuff? Okay guys, let’s go!” said Francis in a serious tone as he rushed off while holding his camera. With celebrities arriving at the scene one after another, nothing could make the crowd shut up. Mr. Winters himself was delighted. After all, he had only been able to see all these people

“Humph! Just look at you. Trying to squeeze in front like that!” scoffed Sandrilla as she watched Gerald get pushed to the back again. ‘D*mn it all!’ Gerald thought to himself. He couldn’t progress forward at all! “Hey Gerald? Maybe you should just watch from here. I mean look at all the celebrities!” suggested Lolita. As she said that, the last guest arrived at the celebration. In the conference hall, Zack himself was already on the stage, giving thanks to all the present guests. All of a sudden, Zack’s phone began to ring and everyone went silent. Despite the fact that there were so many people in the outdoor conference hall, it was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. “It’s been hours… Which one of them is Mr. Crawford? Why haven’t we seen him yet?” “Maybe he didn’t come? But that’s impossible, right?” “Or maybe he’s already inside! Perhaps he just didn’t want to expose what he looks like?” “Huh? Does that mean we won’t be able to meet him?” said a few of the g

Willie had always thought that Gerald was nothing more than a mere acquaintance. He had never thought that Gerald would ever make it this far. Due to that, he had always looked down upon him. In the past, Willie had even tried his best to avoid him, just to prevent Gerald from asking him for help. Now however, all these famous figures were calling him Mr. Crawford. The mysterious Mr. Crawford of Mayberry turned out to be Gerald this entire time! This fact was… Willie gulped hard. His mind was blank and the realization of the situation was akin to a massive slap to his face. He was so shocked that the corner of his mouth was even twitching. Leila herself was covering her mouth with both her hands, equally as shocked as her father. It wasn’t any different for the Winters who all looked shocked to their cores. However, it was Waxham’s two daughters who had it the worst. It had never occurred to them that Gerald would ever be the actual Mr. Crawford. No wonder he was so rich

“Holy cr*p! That’s a Lamborghini Reventón! That thing costs more than 200 million!” Everyone was exclaiming in awe. At that moment, Sienna and Xeno stepped out of the car. Xeno then tossed the car keys over to Gerald before saying, “Here you go, brother! I brought it here, just like you told me to!” Gerald had asked Xeno for a favor two days ago. Since he didn’t have a car in this area and he still needed some form of transportation, he had told Xeno to bring his car over. Gerald smiled as he patted Xeno on the shoulder. They then entered the conference hall together. “So that car belongs to Mr. Crawford!” said everyone with envy in their voices. After taking loads of pictures, the birthday celebration finally started. According to Zack, this celebration was way less grand compared to what Gerald’s sister had hosted back then. Gerald didn’t have any trouble accepting that fact. After all, his sister had rented an entire island for her birthday party! That was just way too

Willie knew that Gerald had purposely made him wait for that long. After all, he had made Gerald go through a similarly long wait in the past. While this was happening, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was speeding down the roads of Yanken. It seemed to be heading toward Mayberry. Sitting at the back of the car was a stylish and young, rich woman. To be frank, ‘woman’ would be an overstatement since she looked more like a young lady who had freshly graduated from university. “Are we there yet?” asked the lady as she opened her eyes slowly. She was focused on the scenery outside the car’s window. “We’re almost in Mayberry City, miss!” replied the chauffeur. “Tell the cars behind us to catch up!” ordered the lady after hearing that. The chauffeur then did as she ordered by relaying the order through a walkie-talkie. Behind the Phantom, around twenty Maybach cars followed closely. Any other cars on the road had to make way for this group of expensive-looking cars. “Mayberry City and it
