The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 589
While Gerald was walking next to Giya, his phone started ringing. It was Zack's phone.
“Gerald, there is a celebrity banquet tonight and I hope you will attend. Since the ultimate treasure appraiser from the South will be present, you can have him appraise the jade pendant the moment you meet him. Several other celebrities from Mayberry will also be attending.”
Zack is still helping Gerald track down Xavia.
He had been talking about the celebrity banquet a few days ago as well. Celebrity banquets are annual events and celebrities from all walks of life usually appear. Since Gerald wouldn't look good if he refused to attend, Gerald only agreed to leave.
At nightfall, Gerald arrived—along with Yoel and Aiden—at a banquet held at Mountainview Manor. As expected, the place was crowded.
Large manors are usually used for gathering events, second only to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
The owner of Mountainview Manor, is Wallace Quinnens, a middle-aged man in his forties whom Gerald has met several times. Due to Wallace's slick personality, Gerald isn't too impressed with him.
“Well, look who's here? This is Mr Crawford!” wallace said as he hurriedly ran as he looked at Gerald, Yoel, and the others.
Many other wealthy businessmen began to approach Gerald's group as well, and all parties greeted each other.
"Hello, Mr. Quinnens!" greet Gerald while forcing a smile. A greeting is good enough.
Yoel then headed to the familiar round table in the manor and sat down. As he sat down, Wallace immediately ran over and said, “Hey, Yoel, Aiden! You can't sit here today!"
"Huh? What do you mean by that, Wallace?” asked Yoel, dumbfounded.
He had attended similar celebrity banquets like this in the past. This chair was specially always taken by her godbrother, Jessica Crawford. As Jessica's godbrother, she naturally sat down with him.
“Basically nothing is wrong, but even though you've sat here in the past, this year, some things have changed so you can't sit here anymore,” Wallace sneered.
The participants of this year's banquet were celebrities from all over the city. Seeing what had just happened, the big bosses and wealthy businessmen around Gerald began to walk over.
“Huh, if we can't sit here, then we won't! We don't want to see your face anyway. Let's find another seat, Aiden. You stay here, Gerald!”
Of course, Joel had to think of his godbrother first. Just as Gerald was about to sit down, Wallace shouted again. “Hold!”
"What now?" Back then, even Zack and Michael had come to see what commotion was going on.
"Unfortunately Mr. Crawford can't sit here this year either" Wallace said with a laugh.
“Are you crazy, Wallace? Whatdidyou say? Say it again if you dare!” yoel yelled as he gripped Wallace's collar.
This bastard really made him nervous.
“No need to be too aggressive, Yoel! I will only repeat that statement one last time, this chair is not for Mr Crawford this year!” wallace said with a grin.
"Explain yourself" ordered the rich man standing beside Gerald.
"We just got a more important guest today, and this chair is reserved for him!" obviously Wallace while releasing Yoel's hand from her.
