Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 589
While Gerald was walking next to Giya, his phone started to ring. It was a call from Zack.
“Gerald, there’s a celebrity banquet tonight and I hope that you’ll attend. Since a master treasure
appraiser from the South will be attending, you can have him appraise the jade pendant when you
meet him. A few other celebrities from Mayberry will be attending as well.”
Zack was still helping Gerald track down Xavia.
He had brought up the celebrity banquet a few days ago as well. The celebrity banquet was a yearly
event and celebrities from all walks of life usually turned up. Since it wouldn’t look good on Gerald’s
part if he refused to attend, Gerald simply agreed to go.
When evening came, Gerald arrived—together with Yoel and Aiden—at the banquet which was being
held at Mountainview Manor. As was expected, the venue was packed.
Therge manor was usually used for gathering events, second only to Wayfair Mountain
Entertainment.
The owner of Mountainview Manor, was Wace Quinnens, a middle-aged man in his forties whom
Gerald had met on several asions. Due to Wace’s slick personality, Gerald didn’t really have a
good impression of him.
“Well look who’s here? It’s Mr. Crawford!” said Wace as he hurriedly trotted over when he saw
Gerald, Yoel, and the rest.
Many other wealthy businessmen began approaching Gerald’s group as well, and the parties all
greeted each other.
“Hello, Mr. Quinnens!” greeted Gerald as he forced a smile. A greeting was good enough.
Yoel then headed to a familiar round table in the manor and took a seat. The moment he sat down,
Wace immediately jogged over and said, “Hey, Yoel, Aiden! You can’t sit here today!”
“Huh? What do you mean by that, Wace?” asked Yoel, dumbfounded.
He had attended simr celebrity banquets like this in the past. This seat in particr was always taken
by his godsister, Jessica Crawford. As Jessica’s godbrother, he naturally sat together with her.
Now that Gerald—his godbrother—was the richest man in Mayberry, Jessica’s seat was Gerald’s to
take. This of course, meant that both Aiden and Yoel should continue to sit where they usually did.
“There’s nothing inherently wrong, but though you’ve sat here in the past, this year, some things have
changed so you can’t sit here anymore,” sneered Wace.
The attendees for this year’s banquet were celebrities from all over the city. Seeing what had just
happened, the big bosses and rich businessmen surrounding Gerald began walking over.
“Humph, if we can’t sit here, then we won’t! It’s not like we want to see your face anyway. Let’s find
another seat, Aiden. You stay here, Gerald!”
Naturally, Yoel had to think about his godbrother first. Just as Gerald was about to sit down, Wace
shouted again. “Hold it!”
“What now?” By then, even Zack and Michael hade over to see what themotion was about.
“I’m afraid that Mr. Crawford can’t sit here this year either,” said Wace with augh.
“Are you out of your mind, Wace? What did you say? Say it again if you dare!” shouted Yoel as he
grabbed Wace by his cor.
This son of a b*tch was seriously getting on his nerves.
“No need to be so aggressive, Yoel! I’ll just repeat the statement one final time, this seat isn’t for Mr.
Crawford this year!” said Wace with a smirk.

“Exin yourself,” ordered the rich men standing by Gerald’s side.
“We just have an even more important guesting today, and this seat is reserved for him!”
exined Wace as he shook Yoel’s hands off him.
