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

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

Gerald was honestly feeling slightly disappointed as he made his way toward the house. ‘Would a large family even be able to live in such a secluded place…?’ Just as he was a few steps away from the wooden house’s door, Gerald watched as an old man—who looked to be over sixty—exited the house. Though the old man was dressed like a villager, his clothes were rather clean. The second he noticed Gerald, he was momentarily stunned though he quickly hid his shock with a smile before asking, “Well hello there, mister! Can I help you with anything?” “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir! I’d just like to ask whether you know of any large families living up here on this mountain,” replied Gerald. “Large families? Haha! Take a good look around, mister! There’s nothing but mountains and trees all around! I’m only living here since I guard the forests! Nobody else here but me!” explained the man as he continued to smile. “I trust my friend who told me to look for him here. Are you absol

“Didn’t you say that your aunt was here? The construction zone is completely devoid of life!” said Bea within a parked car. The site itself was connected to their family. After all, it was initially her uncle’s project. However, due to a very serious issue with her uncle’s loan, any further development of the construction zone was completely terminated. While that was so, since the handover ceremony was held just the other day, a few people should still be present. The fact that nobody was there was honestly what surprised Bea the most. “Humph! Your aunt’s waiting for you inside there!” shouted Yura in a cold tone, a stark contrast to his desperate voice just minutes ago. “…What do you mean by that, Yura?” said Bea, realizing now that something was terribly off with him. “Oh, nothing really! Since we’re already here anyway, why not just follow me in after a little chat!” replied Yura with a wicked grin before locking the car doors. Frowning, Bea then casually said, “I’m not

It was at that moment when a phone belonging to one of Yura’s subordinates began to ring. “It’s Mr. Long, Mr. Yaleman,” said the subordinate. “So you’ve actually sided with the Long family now! You’ve truly gone insane, Yura! And not just you, aunt and uncle must have lost their minds as well!” said Bea in disbelief. “Just take her away already!” ordered Yura as he waved a hand impatiently before answering the call. “Everything’s going smoothly, Mr. Long. You better not forget the promise you’ve made me.” “But of course I haven’t! I’d never forget such a promise, Mr. Yaleman!” It was nearing night at the Yaleman family house and nobody seemed to have noticed anything particularly abnormal. However, many family members did notice that Bea had been missing for the entire day, particularly Second aunt and her family who had been waiting to treat Bea and Catherine to a meal. Due to her absence for most of the day, they simply assumed that Bea was extremely busy. When they e

Bea’s disappearance had caused a massive uproar among those living in Yanken, and that included several big shots from Jacksonville. Since they were aware that Mr. Crawford wasn’t around, they had personally sent their own subordinates out to search for Bea in the meantime. While they did suspect a few people to be involved, in the end, there simply weren’t enough clues to go with. Bea just seemed to have vanished into thin air! Though Catherine herself wanted to contact the Crawfords from Northbay, only Bea had the means to contact them! Nobody else knew how to even get to them! They weren’t even sure if Bea was still alive. After all, it had already been seven days since anyone had seen her. From the day she realized that her daughter could very well already be dead, Catherine had had an extremely haggard expression etched on her face. Today, the Yaleman family’s members were all gathered to discuss how to progress with Bea’s disappearance. Though everyone at the meeting was
