“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

“I don’t know. Why don’t you ask him yourself?” said Bea before promptly leaving. “It’s… It’s all over now. Bea’s definitely made the biggest contribution this time around!” shouted Yura. “Why are you being so anxious? Bea probably can’t make anything big out of it! Still, she isn’t the biggest issue now. The main thing we have to worry about, is that b*tch’s son, Gerald! We need to find out how much power he truly holds!” declared Rose. The second she said that, everyone relevant received a message in the family’s group chat. The family’s butler had just issued a family meeting, and they were to gather at the Yaleman family’s conference room within an hour. “See that? Bea’s asked for credit so quickly! The meeting’s definitely related to the projects this time around!” said Second aunt aloud. Rose then crossed her arms and smiled coldly before saying, “Let’s return home for now… I want to see what sort of mess that girl ends up making!” By the time the hour was up, everyon

Her tone was rightfully angry as she said all that. “Regardless of whether he’s part of it or not, don’t forget that you’re the one in power here. The Trustdeck Group cooperates with you. Not Yura,” reminded Gerald. “…That’s true. I don’t have to be afraid anymore! Speaking of which, cousin, I see you’ve prepared a gift box there. Who’s it for?” asked Bea as she sat on a sofa while looking at him. Hearing her question, Gerald wiped his hands clean and picked the gift box up before saying, “I was planning to pay grandma a visit once your meeting was over.” Gerald had initially wanted to meet up with her earlier but once he found out that the Yalemans were having a family meeting, he postponed his plan. After all, he really didn’t want to have to deal with First aunt and the others. “Still, aren’t you the curious one. Did you think that it was a birthday gift for you?” added Gerald with a cheeky smile on his face. He remembered, at that moment, that Bea’s birthday was in two da

“Since your body’s condition hasn’t been too well recently, I’ve bought some health supplements for you, grandma!” said Gerald as he placed his gift aside once he entered. “Humph! How rare it is to see you being this thoughtful!” replied Lady Yaleman in a solemn tone. After all, Gerald had come empty-handed on her actual birthday that day. Regardless, though it was true that she had disowned Yulia, she had to admit that it was near impossible to perfectly slice the bond between mother and daughter. What more, Gerald and Jessica were both her biological grandchildren. As a grandmother, she had honestly always wanted to at least have some form of contact with him. However, when she first saw how pathetic Gerald looked, she was instantly reminded of Dylan. Both father and son were so alike… Their characteristics were similar as well. They were simply the kinds of people who never retorted or fought back against others, even if they were scolded or beaten up. After a slightly
