"... What ... What are you really talking about ...?" asked Cundrie— who was still in tears— as she turned to look at him in disbelief, unsure of what he was actually doing.
“Does he really think that he is the real Mr Crawford now? Do you think he went crazy from fear? Ha ha ha!"
"I know? He even made an official invitation for Miss Smith to chat with her at the Mountain Top Villa! What clown!”
“Hah! Does he even have a bit of self-awareness ?! ”
As the few women in the hall continued to make derogatory comments to Gerald, Xyon returned with new pants.
As he watched everyone mock Gerald, he became as excited as his son. At that time, even Abner's girlfriend had forgotten the pain she had suffered from the slap earlier.
“That guy must have been destroyed this time, dad! Not only did he disguise himself as Lord Crawford's servant before, but now he was pretending to be Mr Crawford himself! I want to see how he gets himself out of this one! ” infuriated the woman cruelly.
As the situation grew chaotic, the door to the large hall slowly opened …
After which, one of the maids shouted, "Honored Master has arrived!"
Knowing that the guest in question was someone from the Crawford family, silence occurred almost instantly when everyone—including Gerald and those on stage— turned to the door.
Once the two large doors were fully open, about fifty Maybach cars were seen parked on the red carpet leading to the outdoors. A few seconds later, the doors of all the cars opened—almost the same—and the bodyguard in black stepped out in a very respectful manner.
As everyone remained shocked and amazed by the sight, a middle-aged man was carried onto the red carpet by one of the guards, and he began to calmly walk towards the crowd.
Everyone who was still seated immediately stood up as Noel and the other Snyders quickly ran towards the door to greet the big men in the business field.
“We've been waiting for your arrival a long time, Mr Lyle! You're finally here! ” greet Noel as he bowed sharply, encouraging the other juniors of the Snyder family to do the same.
“You are too friendly, Chairman Snyder.. I am just a little late because I have to deal with some problems first!” the middle-aged man replied as he and the other guards started walking into the large hall.
“Thank you for taking the time to come, Mr Lyle!”
As the others took turns nodding and greeting the middle-aged man, inevitably Cundrie felt— as he looked at Mr. Lyle and his bodyguards—that the presence of the Crawford family alone was able to immediately change the atmosphere in the area. .
Even Crawford's own bodyguards feel simultaneously impressive and amazing. However, he, of all people, knew that this was not the time to admire the Crawford family.
To be honest, Cundrie was very frightened right now. He was afraid that someone would expose the incident that had happened before. If that happened, then the fate of the Smith family would definitely change.
Mrs Smith was arguably even more scared than her daughter, and she kept her head down the entire time, it looks a lot like an elementary school student who just made a mistake and is now waiting to be scolded by the teacher.
However, as they say, the more afraid someone is of something happening, the more likely it is to happen.
At that moment, Xyon took a step forward before saying, “Omong-by the way, Chairman Lyle, there was an incident I wanted to tell you about. You know, before you arrived, someone disguised as Mr. Crawford in hopes of deceiving us all!”
There are two reasons why he did this. First, he wanted to show where he stood before Chairman Lyle. By contributing, the Gross family could potentially get a chance for massive development.
As for the second reason, he only wanted to use the opportunity to get rid of that b*stard to avenge his son.
"…Hmm? Is that so…?" chief Lyle replied as his expression instantly turned grim.
Forty more bodyguards standing behind him—who had not taken their seats despite there being a special seat arranged for them—found themselves also frowning deeply. To them, Mr Crawford was a man of extraordinary status, and anyone who dared disrespect him had to die!
“...Have you investigated who that person is?” asked Chairman Lyle in a cold tone.
Filled with the excitement of — and glad he had changed his pants earlier — Xyon then ran towards Chairman Lyle while shouting in a clear voice …
