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

“Hmm? But what she said made sense too. A young master from a top-tier family would never be cumbersome in doing things and they would never make their intentions direct and clear either. There was a real possibility that Mr. Crawford had indeed fallen for one of the young ladies from the Yaleman family!”“Ysabel, you’ve just started working with the company recently after studying abroad for years. I believe you have met a lot of people and participated in many different events and occasions, yes? Do you remember encountering any such powerful and formidable young masters?”Lady Yaleman asked. After all, she was perfectly aware of how eye-catching Ysabel was. Yeah, Bea was on par with her beauty but she was rarely exposed to grander events and the outside world compared to Ysabel.Ysabel took a moment to think about her experience before she replied, “I think so, grandma!”“Well, if that’s the case, then we’ll count it as a blessing for the Yaleman family! Ysabel, if there is anyt

“Dad, I am useless. I couldn't even speak up and defend mom when everybody’s attacking her! I am a disappointment! I’m so sorry that I failed to live up to your expectations!” Bea said as she cried.“Mom gave me her favorite and most precious bracelet with the intention of giving it to grandma as a birthday gift, to please her and make her happy. She did this hoping that I’ll strive forward in the company! But Yura broke the bracelet! He did it on purpose, I know he did! Everyone saw with their own two eyes what he did!”“But dad, grandma turned the other cheek and accused mom of overreacting. She said that it was nothing more than just a jade bracelet. Dad, could it be that in grandma’s eyes, nothing can ever be comparable to Yura at all?”Bea felt seriously aggrieved today.Usually, she would just endure it when everyone else ridiculed her or her mother.However, this time, there was a blatant display of unfairness.No longer able to put up with it anymore, she ran all the way

“Something happened?”Bea proceeded to explain to Gerald what had happened to the Yaleman family.To put it briefly, the Yaleman family, which was already down in the dumps had just been stabbed in the back by the Long family, again.The Long family had set their crosshairs on the Yaleman family’s main source of income, which was also the largest remaining development project they had on hand. This was in spite of the fact that the Yaleman family’s finances were well-structured enough for them to retaliate.However, both of them had control over massive industries which further fuelled their never-ending demand for more capital.This was especially so for the kind of business their family was directly involved in. It was the Yaleman family’s immediate lifeline, without which they would cease to exist.Such a massive project had been yanked out of their hands.It was natural for them to feel the pain at first instance.When Lady Yaleman was lecturing Rose for her mistakes, she

“It’s you guys?”Bea frowned as soon as she saw them.Sitting there was none other than her eldest uncle’s family of three and also her second uncle’s family of three.What happened today fostered the hatred Bea had for Rose and the rest of the Yaleman family.“How disrespectful of you, Bea. Aren’t you supposed to greet your elders when you see them? Have you no manners, or even a basic sense of courtesy!?” Rose’s response was cold as ever.Yuma glared at her with an angry expression.“What are you doing here?” he questioned.“I am here to discuss a project of ours!”Bea had a bag she was holding. Everyone in the VIP waiting area was all either bosses or some local tycoon. Either that or they were second-rate owners of their respective enterprises, just like her eldest uncle.She was the only person here who was dressed like an ordinary employee.“Hmph! What did you say? You’re here to talk about a project?” Rose asked while laughing in Bea’s face.She stared at Bea as if

Bea said a little nervously.“Your cousin? May I know who he is? Who did he ask you to look for here?”The receptionist working the front desk had a very good temperament and it was clear that she had received special training for serving their clients. She treated everyone in the room with respect, even the plainly-dressed Bea.“His name is Gerald Crawford. He told me to come here and look for a man named Mr. Kayden Zelly!”The receptionist at the front desk shook her head and with a painful smile, she told Bea, “I am sorry but there is no one named Kayden Zelly here. We have never heard of anyone called Gerald Crawford either. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake?”“What?”Bea’s nervousness spiked upon hearing the receptionist’s response. This was especially so because everyone had their eyes on her. She started blushing out of embarrassment.“Oh my god! What did I say just now? God, how embarrassing! What a fool she was to come all the way here!”Speechless, Ysabel covered

“Who could it be?” As the others looked at each other in dismay, Manager Huddell—who was making use of his free time—entered the VIP reception room. As soon as Yuma saw him, he gave a subtle smile before saying, “Manager Huddell!” “Sincerest apologies for being so inattentive toward you today, Chairman Yaleman. There’s just been so much to do! I do hope that you’ll bear with me for the moment,” replied Manager Huddell. Hearing that, Yuma then said, “You’re being way too cordial. I’m well aware that the Trustdeck Group is extremely busy every day! While that is so, you still took the time to attend, and I appreciate that!” In response, Manager Huddell sighed before saying, “Speaking of which, Chairman Yaleman, I’ve asked around regarding the incident you mentioned back then. However, if it’s related to bidding and proposal affairs, Chairman Zelly—my superior—currently has no time to look into it! You may have to wait for a while before he can attend to that incident!” “It’s

Yura had asked that question in his sheer disbelief. “That’s right! To think that she had even claimed that it was because of Gerald’s connections… How does he even know such high ranked people? How is any of this possible?” grumbled Ysabel enviously. After being humiliated like that, they were sure that everyone was now looking at the two families with mocking gazes. Rose herself was now thinking of how Gerald had withdrawn a million dollars just the day before. She also recalled what Yura had told her about Gerald’s clothes. Adding that to the fact that she had now seen, with her very own eyes, that Gerald had the capability to pull strings from within the Trustdeck group, she was extremely certain that he was no ordinary person. “Hold on a minute!” interrupted Rose while Ysabel and her mother were still exchanging envious words in their annoyance. “Could it be that we’ve not investigated Gerald’s background thoroughly enough? Is he actually not a pauper at all? How else
