Chapter 828
She only had about seven to nine thousand dollars with her.“What’s the matter? Is $13,999 too expensive for you?”Gerald asked Marilyn while chuckling to himself.After all, Marilyn was the one who poked his head and mocked him yesterday.Gerald felt the urge to settle his grudge with her today.So, Gerald responded jokingly.“Hey, watch it. How can I possibly not be able to afford this dress?”Marilyn thought how outrageous it would be for a pauper like Gerald to be actually looking down on her.“Alright then, we’ll buy another dress! So, please pack this dress up for us!” Gerald replied with a mischievous smile.The salesgirl was surprised and delighted at the same time when she heard this.“You must be bragging! It would already be great if you could afford even one of these pieces here! Hmph! If he is going to buy two pieces, I’ll buy three! In any case, I’ll buy a piece more than him!”Marilyn was hellbent on winning the little competition with Gerald.“Mom, come here
Chapter 829
The salesgirl was taken aback by Gerald’s tone.Even Rose and the others were surprised by his sudden change in attitude.His voice was by no means deafening, but the hostile expression Gerald wore made everyone shudder in fear.“Hmph! You’re still adamant about buying ten of ‘em huh? The cheapest of these clothes cost at least six grand! It’ll cost you tens of thousands of dollars judging by the number you specified. Are you serious about your purchase?” Rose and the others despised the feeling of being intimidated by Gerald.Was he really planning to buy ten of these dresses?Hahaha!They started sneering as they ridiculed him.Bea also tugged on Gerald’s arm as she said, “Forget it. Eldest aunt is right. We will never be able to afford the clothes here. I think it’s best if we leave now!”“It’s okay. I’ve already said that I’ll buy you these clothes! Look, the ones you tried on just now looked A-okay, so why not? Miss, if you will, please help me check how much they cost.
Chapter 830
If Rose was simply taunting him and ridiculing him alone just now, he would not have said anything at all. Gerald was still the same old tolerant Gerald.However, he could not allow her to insult Bea like this.The kindness his fifth uncle had shown his own mother back then was not something that could be made up for with cold hard cash. What Gerald wanted was justice for Bea.To his surprise, in the process of doing so, $1,200,000.00 had been swiped directly from his bank card.But it did not really matter to him. After all, $1,200,000.00 or $120,000.00 made no difference to Gerald now. Aside from a difference in the number of digits, nothing about that sum was significant enough to frustrate him.“But cousin, this…this is too expensive! Hurry up and get a refund!”Bea said as she jumped around anxiously.“What? Why would you ask him to do that? If he wants to insert that amount into a membership card for you, you should just let him do it! Hahaha! This fool! Putting so much
Chapter 831
“Are you saying that the clothes that Gerald wore cost just as much?” Rose asked in disbelief.“Impossible! It is absolutely impossible! We already know about his father, Dylan Crawford’s status from back then. Like hell, their family’s that affluent! The most probable explanation is that Gerald won the lottery! He must’ve blown all that cash impulsively just now!” Rose said.It seemed as though the million dollars Gerald spent really left a huge impact on them.“Now that eldest aunt and the others are all gone, let’s go back to the shop and ask for a refund for this membership card. It’s way too expensive! So much money’s in there! Don’t you think it’s a waste to leave it all in there?” “There is no need for that, Bea…”“It’s a million bucks! How could you just brush it off like it’s nothing? Also, why…why do you have so much money?”Bea seemed a little terrified.Gerald laughed as he shot a glance at Bea who was behind the wheel. After that, he said, “I will tell you somethin
Chapter 832
Yura placed the blame entirely on Gerald.The thing that pissed him off most was when he finally found a goddess that he was interested in, Gerald had to butt in and screw-up his chance to shine.“Look, grandma! This is my birthday gift to you!”The younger generation of the family was still presenting their gifts at the main table of the birthday banquet.Lady Yaleman was grinning from ear-to-ear; she could not conceal the happiness that she was feeling right now.“Oh! Isn’t that Bea? What took you so long? Have you already forgotten that it is your grandmother’s birthday today?”In walked Bea and Gerald.Rose wore a cunning smirk as she spoke.“How can I possibly forget about grandma’s birthday? Eldest aunt, you are too much!” Bea retorted immediately.“Hahaha! Let’s see what kind of birthday gift Bea prepared for grandma this year-round!”Several girls simultaneously.Bea’s mother was visibly irritated when she heard what those girls said about her daughter. She then dire

“My jade bracelet!”The jade bracelet had shattered into a million pieces.Catherine’s eyes widened from the shock.Bea was also taken aback by what Yura had just done.This jade bracelet was the most precious treasure in their family.Her grandmother had given this jade bracelet to her mother before it was passed down to Bea.The reason why Catherine was willing to let go of the bracelet as a gift for Lady Yaleman was quite simple. Her husband was currently lying in bed in a vegetative state and there was no more hope for her.She hoped that her daughter would be able to prove herself and gain recognition from the Yaleman family, someday in the future.As long as Lady Yaleman was pleased and satisfied, then Bea would be able to move forward.Otherwise, if Rose was allowed to gain full control of the company in the future, then all hope would truly be lost for Bea and her family.But now, this final bastion of hope had been smashed into the cold hard ground!Yura had obvio

Rose said.“Hmph! She can leave if she wants to! Out of sight, out of mind!” Lady Yaleman responded coldly.She then turned around to take a look at the scene of the banquet.“What’s going on? There were so many distinguished guests at my birthday banquet last year around this time. Where have they all gone this year?” Lady Yaleman suddenly realized that something was wrong.Yuma replied, “Yeah, it does feel rather odd. Why are there so few guests here today? I mean, didn’t I personally invite them here to the banquet?”On Lady Yaleman’s face was a sour expression.She signaled for her butler, Sheldon to step forward.She asked him about the low turnout rate for the guests they had specially invited to the event.Sheldon replied, “Lady Yaleman, I’m sorry but I too have no idea why this is happening. Many of the distinguished guests and partners that we invited suddenly called to say that something has happened and they cannot make it here anymore. They simply asked me to cong
Chapter 835
There were still a lot more unopened gift boxes.This made everyone in the Yaleman family, including Lady Yaleman herself, feel very bedazzled.It would not have been an exaggeration to describe each and every one of these gifts as a rare treasure.Every single gift had its own story to tell and all had incredibly rich histories. They were all simply invaluable! Lady Yaleman was filled with excitement.At the ripe old age of 80, she had obviously been around for quite a while, but never in her life had she ever witnessed such a grand scene before!“Lady Yaleman, this is the list of gifts presented today. Please take a look at it!”The young man leading the troupe of butlers handed a list over to Lady Yaleman in a respectful manner.“No, no need for that! I don’t need to look at it anymore! Please thank Mr. Crawford for all these gifts. However, you must tell him that these gifts are really too expensive! By the way, I don’t think that I’ve ever met this Mr. Crawford that you’r
