By that time, some celebrities had realized that the main seat was still empty, and hearing Wallace's words further shocked them.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Well, Mr. Crawford will be sitting in the main seat, but Wallace won't allow it!"
"What's? How dare he do that? The seat always belonged to Ms. Crawford in previous years since he became CEO. As his brother, Mr. Crawford has the right to inherit his estate. Why is Wallace acting so bravely?”
“Huh, who knows? Mr Crawford must be feeling ashamed now!”
As the crowd continued to gossip, something else happened outside.
Eight Rolls-Royce Phantoms had arrived at the entrance of the manor, and as soon as they stopped, more than a dozen bodyguards dressed in black suits descended from the car before quickly forming two rows.
The majestic entrance immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, and even Gerald was forced to look out at the manor. The driver of the main car got off and respectfully opened the doors of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.
There came out a rich young man wearing a suit with both hands in his pocket. When they saw him, his bodyguards immediately bowed.
"Who is he? This is a magnificent entrance!”
Most of the crowd was stunned by the sight.
Wallace on the other hand, quickly rushed towards the young man to greet him. "Trs. Long, thank you for coming! Your presence here makes Mountainview Manor shine!” wallace said excitedly before bowing as well.
"What's? Mr Long? He was the rich heir of the Long family! Their family has a precious history for centuries!”
“F *ck! No wonder Wallace was so brave today!”
"So, it was Master Long who gave him this much confidence!"
The crowd continued to whisper amongst themselves until finally, they all looked at Mr. Long before simultaneously saying, "It's nice to meet you, Mr. Long!"
“It's an honor to have you here, Mr. Long. Please sit!"
“Indeed, Mr. Long. You are more than worthy to occupy the main seat!”
At that time, most of the rich entrepreneurs and hires—including those from Mayberry—began to show their original colors as they shared feelings.
Although there were several families in Mayberry that had big names and a long history comparable to the Lourdes and Walt families, none of them could support the Long family.
After all, it was said that the Long family had a very strong position in America because they were one of the first few people to settle there. Their power and influence had only grown stronger since then.
“Ah, everyone is so nice to me, but today, I am not the main star of the banquet. I'm just here to accompany my sister-in-law and have some fun! Ha ha ha!" mister Long replied with a laugh.
"Ipar? Could it be that you mean fiancee Fred Long? I heard some time ago that Fred Long found himself a fiance and they were ready to get married!” wallace said as he rushed forward with a smile on his face.
"You're absolutely right, Mr. Quinnens!" mister Long replied with a wry smile as Mr. Quinnens stepped aside.
From the car behind him, the driver got down and opened the passenger seat door.
A noblewoman wore an expensive-looking dress then stepped out. In his hands, there was a cute little dog and his two servants immediately stood beside him.
"Sister-in-law, join us, please!" mr. Long said, his face beaming.
The woman then walked towards the main street as the crowd stared in admiration. Aiden and the others just stared at him, their eyes widening, before looking back at Gerald.
Gerald himself could not believe who he saw before him.
The girl with the dog in her hand was none other than Xavia Yorke, the person she had been looking for all this time.
