Bea, on the other hand, was unhappy to hear that. After all, from what she could tell, he had probably guessed that she had specifically invited her ex-classmates over to introduce them to her cousin. Yura was definitely doing this on purpose. “You’ll have much more fun with me! There’s no need to take a stroll with them!” said Bea angrily. Seeing how mad she was, her classmates simply looked at each other before pouting as they entered the house with Bea. As they walked through the backyard, Gerald couldn’t help but sigh. He knew what Bea was up to. While he understood that she only wanted to get him a girlfriend out of kindness, he wasn’t really in the mood to get to know any more female friends at the moment. After all, he was no stranger to getting into trouble from getting too attached to his female friends. Alice was a textbook example of that. Because of that, Gerald only treated the beauties from the perspective of an elder brother. However, the girls themselves wer

The fact that such distinguished guests were coming over sent shivers down Sheldon’s spine. When the cars finally stopped before Sheldon, a family of four stepped out of one of the luxurious vehicles. They consisted of a middle-aged couple, their son, and their daughter. “Thank you for attending the Yaleman family party. It’s a pleasure to have you with us. Could you perhaps be… Chairman Jagger?” said Sheldon, astonished that such a distinguished person had come. “A pleasure to meet you as well! And yes, I’m Brody Jagger!” “What an honor! Not only do you have an astounding reputation, but you’re also the richest among the four richest people in Jacksonville!” Sheldon was extremely anxious now. How couldn’t he be? The richest man from Jacksonville was now standing before him! He couldn’t even stop his hands from quivering. Since the Yalemans weren’t able to curry favor Chairman Jagger and his people before this, his arrival today was definitely a pleasant surprise. Before

“T-thank you for the gift, Mr. Shelver!” said Bea as she received yet another gift from another big shot. Mae and the other girls were simultaneously feeling stunned and jealous of Bea as they looked at all the gifts she was receiving. “Could these be your best friends, Miss Yaleman? All of them are such beauties! It’s a shame that we don’t have enough presents to go around! Do wait for a moment as I order someone to send more gifts over! Consider them to be acquaintance gifts!” said Mrs. Jagger as she smiled. “…Huh? We get gifts too?” replied the girls, surprised. “But of course! Haha!” “Alright! Thank you, Chairman Jagger! Mrs. Jagger!” shouted Mae and her friends, unable to contain their excitement and gratitude. After all, since all these people were extremely influential, any gifts they gave would most definitely be extraordinary! “Hurry up and serve the presidents their drinks, Bea!” squealed Mae and the others excitedly. “Will do!” “There’s no need for that, we c

“You silly girl, here you are! I was looking all over for you! I’ve even called you but you didn’t even pick up! You know, your grandma’s so anxious in there yet you-” Though Catherine was already angry when she stomped over, the moment she saw that her daughter had arranged a table in the backyard, she became even more infuriated. “Could you please be a little more sensible, Bea? Haven’t I told you that we’ll celebrate your birthday tonight? How badly do you want to celebrate it for you to host it in the backyard? It’s almost as if you want Rose and her family to hold something against us!” scolded Catherine in a rage. She was just about to drag her daughter away when she recognized who was sitting at the table. In her shock, Catherine let out a squeak before covering her mouth with her hands. It was evident that she knew who everyone at the table was. “You’re Miss Yaleman’s mother, correct? It’s a pleasure to meet you! We’ve come over to celebrate Miss Yaleman’s birthday!”

“Well isn’t this a lively party!” shouted a particularly unwelcoming voice which came from the main entrance. As everyone turned to look, a group of people—led by a rich, young heir—could be seen entering the house. “You can’t enter since you weren’t invited!” shouted a servant who had been trying to block them from proceeding the moment they entered the building. “Out of our way!” growled one of the men being led by the heir as he shoved the servant aside. Seeing that, everyone fell silent. “…Shane Long?” said Lady Yaleman as she stood up with a frown on her face. One by one, the other Yalemans stood up as well, and all of them bore equally cold expressions on their face as they glared at Shane. Shane was the eldest young master of the Long family, and though he was young, he was known for being quite shrewd. The Yalemans were well aware that behind that kind face lay a vicious personality. Within the Long family, Shane himself was second only to Master Long. His hig

Since several other presidents who had cooperated with them were also present, Yuma quickly added, “Don’t you realize that what you’ve done has ruined the Yaleman family?!” “That’s quite enough, Yuma. Are you blind? It’s quite obvious that Chairman Mill and the others have conspired with the Longs long beforehand!” said Lady Yaleman as she glared at Yuma. Hearing his question, the presidents involved simply looked at each other before shrugging and sneering at Yuma. “I’ll say it now, even if we suffer a massive loss, we’ll still be better off than most ordinary people! All we have to do is give up a few of our properties and by the time we’re done, we won’t owe the Longs a single penny! You don’t need to worry about that!” declared Lady Yaleman. Though she had said that, her hands were already trembling as she spoke. After all, she knew very well that the Yalemans would suffer terribly this time around. The Long family had been meticulous with their planning, and now the Yale

“All she ever thinks about is that birthday of hers! What birthday could ever be more important than a Yaleman family celebration?!” shouted Lady Yaleman, feeling extremely faint now. “Grandma!” shouted Bea—who had just arrived—as she ran over to her, the other presidents from Bea’s birthday party following closely behind. “You! Where have you-” Just as Lady Yaleman was about to unleash all her pent up rage, her gaze fell upon those standing behind Bea. It took what seemed like an eternity for her to finally realize who the people grouped behind Bea were. When she finally snapped out of it, however, she—along with the two hundred people in the living room—instantly created a massive uproar. “Isn’t that Chairman Jagger?! The richest person in Jacksonville?!” “D*mn! That really is him! And that over there! That’s Chairman Yarbury, right? What’s a big shot like him even doing here?” “Chairman Goldwell is here too! He’s the richest and most powerful man from the North!” By

There was a rather bitter smile on Gerald’s face as he said that. “Hmm? Why’s Shane back inside?” Before anyone could even react to that statement, a scream of shock echoed through the hall. It wasn’t long after before everyone saw Shane and his subordinates retreating back into the living room, and for good reason too. A powerful-looking woman made her appearance seconds later, and following behind her, was a group of extremely intimidating men who all appeared to be equally strong. ‘Who… Who could this possibly be…?’ Lady Yaleman thought to herself as the corners of her lips twitched. Bea, on the other hand, was full of awe and astonishment as she looked at the young and beautiful woman. After all, she had witnessed with her very own eyes how Shane had retreated in fear within that woman’s presence. “What an absolute coincidence, Shane! We meet again!” said the woman as she chewed on her gum while looking at the terrified man. “I-It has, miss! It’s truly been forever
