Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 48 In fact, Xavia, Yuri, Alice, and everyone else were all startled at this moment. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

They had obviously already heard of who those young people who were seated at that table were, but they had never had the opportunity to meet them. They were very shocked that those people would actually invite Gerald to sit with them.

At this time, Gerald was also surprised that Aiden, Elena and their friends were all here at the opening ceremony tonight. He had not paid any attention to all the other guests earlier. However, he suddenly heard their invitation now.

Gerald thought to himself and he knew that if he walked out of the banquet hall now, everyone would definitely think that he really came here to beg for food! Therefore, he felt that it would be better for him to accept the invitation and go over to sit with Aiden and the rest of the young people instead. At least, he would be able to make those who looked down on him shut up momentarily.

Gerald nodded immediately. “Okay!”

After that, Gerald walked towards the front of the banquet hall, step by step under everyone’s astonished gaze, before he finally sat down in the empty seat between Elena and Aiden.

“Shameless!”

“He really doesn’t know his own place!”

“He actually dares to sit at the same table with them! Doesn’t he know his own status at all?”

“Moreover, he’s sitting so close to our goddess, Elena!”

There were many other second-generation rich kids who were full of envy and hatred at this time.

Alice, Yuri, Xavia and the rest of the group also looked at Quinton in shock before they asked him what exactly was going on!

They were very unhappy that Gerald was currently sitting with those young people. After all, their table was placed at one of the most prestigious positions, all the way up front by the stage, whereas their table was only at the center of the banquet hall.

“So, if someone invited you to sit at the table, do you have to accept the invitation?”

Quinton felt even more uncomfortable because he was actually the main character and he was supposed to be the focus of everyone’s attention tonight!

Therefore, Quinton walked over to Aiden and the rest of the young people before he said, “Mr. Aiden, what do you mean by this? How can this young man possibly sit at this table?”

“Why can’t he sit at this table? If this friend of ours isn’t allowed to sit here, then we’re all leaving too!”

Aiden snorted before he stood up directly.

Among the crowd of people, some of the bosses who worked closely with and for Aiden’s family also stood up at this time. If Aiden decided to leave, then naturally, they would also follow in his footsteps and leave the banquet hall immediately.

“This…”

The expression on Quinton’s face was extremely ugly.

It was the opening ceremony for Grand Marshall Restaurant that they had just taken over today and he knew that he could not afford to offend the Baker family.

However, Quinton really could not comprehend why the usually arrogant Aiden would be so polite to Gerald.

“Of course he can sit here! Since you’ve already spoken up, Mr. Aiden, then he’ll naturally be able to sit here!”

Quinton glared angrily at Gerald before he turned around and returned to his own seat.

“Quinton, what’s the situation? What’s going on? Why did Aiden invite that piece of trash Gerald to sit at that table with them?”

“I’m not sure but I guess it is because he’s unhappy that we got the rights to run the restaurant instead of his family! The Baker family was originally intending to take over the rights to run Grand Marshall Restaurant. However, we managed to get it in the end because my father had put in a lot of efforts and used plenty of connections before he finally succeeded. I think that is the reason why Aiden is holding a grudge against us. However, since it’s still our opening ceremony today, we can’t afford to offend him. After all, the Baker family is a really big and powerful family in Mayberry City.”

“That must be the reason!”

Everyone finally understood what was going on.

Alice heaved a huge sigh of relief and Xavia finally felt as though she could breathe again.

If Gerald really had a good relationship with Aiden from the Baker family, then Xavia would definitely feel very uncomfortable. Yuri did not even have the right to get to know him, so how could Gerald possibly be friends with someone like Aiden?

On the other hand, Gerald did not bother about what Xavia and the rest of his friends were thinking or saying about him at this time. After being seated at the table, he felt that it was really interesting to look

at all the beautiful girls who were already blushing when they saw him.

This was especially so for Elena.

“Unexpectedly, we meet again so soon?” Gerald said as he smiled.

“Yes, Mr. Crawford. I think this must be fate!” the beautiful girls replied as they looked at Gerald with a sweet expression on their faces.

Elena felt very entangled when she thought of what her father had said to her, earlier this afternoon. She decided to obey her father and she nodded gently at Gerald.

“Mr. Gerald, you don’t have a very good relationship with Quinton, do you?” Aiden suddenly asked at this time as he narrowed his eyes to look at Quinton.

“No, we aren’t close at all!” Gerald replied truthfully.

“That’s great. Mr. Crawford, we actually have a plan to humiliate and destroy the reputation of Quinton and his family in public today. However, we were all afraid of Uncle Zack so we dared not do anything at all. However, if you’re willing to support us and back us up, we can make sure that we destroy Quinton today! Hehehe!”
