“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

“Another gift?” said several of the guests as they awaited eagerly for it. After all, one would surely wonder what else the two powerful Crawford siblings had to offer after seeing the moonstone and all the presidents Gerald had invited. “Since Gerald and I have each already presented a gift, the third gift will be given to you by our sister-in-law!” said Jessica as she turned to look back. As the others followed her gaze, they saw that a group of servants—led by an extremely graceful-looking woman—were now walking down the hall toward them. Even from afar, everyone could tell how gentle the beautiful woman’s disposition was. That made the atmosphere even tenser than it already was. “What a beautiful woman!” shouted several of the people as they watched her make her way into the living room. “Sister-in-law?” said Bea, shocked. The sister-in-law in question, was none other than Lyra. As she turned to look at Gerald, he simply lowered his head and said nothing. After all, h

After the party ended, Rose, Second aunt, and many others could barely even recover from everything that they had just witnessed. Though they had the idea of fawning over Jessica a little earlier, all they received were frigid glares from her. They were so intimidated by Jessica that in the end, none of them could even say a word to her, let alone please her! Bea had shot to stardom in just a single day. “So it turns out that Dylan had such great influence and power! What a surprise!” said Lady Yaleman sadly after hearing a summarization of what had happened from Gerald. It was now night time and including Lady Yaleman herself, a few others were standing inside her bedroom. “The grudges of old have no reason to continue existing, grandma… It’s time to let go of them and have our families reunite!” said Gerald. “Are they though? I was so cruel to Yulia that year… I even made Bea’s father suffer so terribly! Since Yulia’s so close to her fifth brother, she definitely still h
Chapter 859
One of the men immediately yanked Yura by his hair before slapping him several times. It was only when Yura saw one of Shane’s other subordinates brandishing a knife at him when he finally returned to his senses. “L-let’s not act recklessly now, Mr. Long! If anything, let’s just talk it out!” stuttered Yura as his fear grew by the second. “Hah! If you were a bit more aware of how to properly behave, then I wouldn’t have needed to treat you like this in the first place! Regardless, why are you speaking as though I’ve come after you looking for trouble? I’m here for your own good! After all, nobody would’ve ever been able to guess that Bea had the Crawford siblings on her side. As a result, she’s now the most influential big shot in all of Yanken! While the Long family will surely suffer a lot from that, I’m sure the one suffering the greatest loss is you, Mr. Yaleman! Don’t you agree? Once the future heir of your family, now reduced to a nobody, am I not right?” Hearing that, Yu
