If Rose was simply taunting him and ridiculing him alone just now, he would not have said anything at all. Gerald was still the same old tolerant Gerald.However, he could not allow her to insult Bea like this.The kindness his fifth uncle had shown his own mother back then was not something that could be made up for with cold hard cash. What Gerald wanted was justice for Bea.To his surprise, in the process of doing so, $1,200,000.00 had been swiped directly from his bank card.But it did not really matter to him. After all, $1,200,000.00 or $120,000.00 made no difference to Gerald now. Aside from a difference in the number of digits, nothing about that sum was significant enough to frustrate him.“But cousin, this…this is too expensive! Hurry up and get a refund!”Bea said as she jumped around anxiously.“What? Why would you ask him to do that? If he wants to insert that amount into a membership card for you, you should just let him do it! Hahaha! This fool! Putting so much
“Are you saying that the clothes that Gerald wore cost just as much?” Rose asked in disbelief.“Impossible! It is absolutely impossible! We already know about his father, Dylan Crawford’s status from back then. Like hell, their family’s that affluent! The most probable explanation is that Gerald won the lottery! He must’ve blown all that cash impulsively just now!” Rose said.It seemed as though the million dollars Gerald spent really left a huge impact on them.“Now that eldest aunt and the others are all gone, let’s go back to the shop and ask for a refund for this membership card. It’s way too expensive! So much money’s in there! Don’t you think it’s a waste to leave it all in there?” “There is no need for that, Bea…”“It’s a million bucks! How could you just brush it off like it’s nothing? Also, why…why do you have so much money?”Bea seemed a little terrified.Gerald laughed as he shot a glance at Bea who was behind the wheel. After that, he said, “I will tell you somethin
Yura placed the blame entirely on Gerald.The thing that pissed him off most was when he finally found a goddess that he was interested in, Gerald had to butt in and screw-up his chance to shine.“Look, grandma! This is my birthday gift to you!”The younger generation of the family was still presenting their gifts at the main table of the birthday banquet.Lady Yaleman was grinning from ear-to-ear; she could not conceal the happiness that she was feeling right now.“Oh! Isn’t that Bea? What took you so long? Have you already forgotten that it is your grandmother’s birthday today?”In walked Bea and Gerald.Rose wore a cunning smirk as she spoke.“How can I possibly forget about grandma’s birthday? Eldest aunt, you are too much!” Bea retorted immediately.“Hahaha! Let’s see what kind of birthday gift Bea prepared for grandma this year-round!”Several girls simultaneously.Bea’s mother was visibly irritated when she heard what those girls said about her daughter. She then dire
“My jade bracelet!”The jade bracelet had shattered into a million pieces.Catherine’s eyes widened from the shock.Bea was also taken aback by what Yura had just done.This jade bracelet was the most precious treasure in their family.Her grandmother had given this jade bracelet to her mother before it was passed down to Bea.The reason why Catherine was willing to let go of the bracelet as a gift for Lady Yaleman was quite simple. Her husband was currently lying in bed in a vegetative state and there was no more hope for her.She hoped that her daughter would be able to prove herself and gain recognition from the Yaleman family, someday in the future.As long as Lady Yaleman was pleased and satisfied, then Bea would be able to move forward.Otherwise, if Rose was allowed to gain full control of the company in the future, then all hope would truly be lost for Bea and her family.But now, this final bastion of hope had been smashed into the cold hard ground!Yura had obvio
Rose said.“Hmph! She can leave if she wants to! Out of sight, out of mind!” Lady Yaleman responded coldly.She then turned around to take a look at the scene of the banquet.“What’s going on? There were so many distinguished guests at my birthday banquet last year around this time. Where have they all gone this year?” Lady Yaleman suddenly realized that something was wrong.Yuma replied, “Yeah, it does feel rather odd. Why are there so few guests here today? I mean, didn’t I personally invite them here to the banquet?”On Lady Yaleman’s face was a sour expression.She signaled for her butler, Sheldon to step forward.She asked him about the low turnout rate for the guests they had specially invited to the event.Sheldon replied, “Lady Yaleman, I’m sorry but I too have no idea why this is happening. Many of the distinguished guests and partners that we invited suddenly called to say that something has happened and they cannot make it here anymore. They simply asked me to cong
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
