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’re talking about before. Can you tell me who your master is?” Lady Yaleman asked with a smile.
The cold atmosphere that enveloped the scene melted away in an instant.
“Lady Yaleman, if there is nothing else, then we’ll be leaving now! Now if you’ll excuse us.”
It was obvious that these people were told to keep their mouths sealed.
“Why don’t you stay back for a drink?” Lady Yaleman asked.
“I appreciate your generous offer, but I really can’t! I’m sorry.”
As soon as the young man bid them farewell, the rest of his colleagues climbed aboard the cars and left immediately.
“God, can it be anymore lavish than that!?”
The bodyguards and entourage were all so calm and disciplined! Just who are the Crawfords and what sort of family were they?”
The members of the Yaleman family were all taken aback.
“Mom? Mr. Crawford from the Crawford family? I don’t think we’ve ever met him before. Why are they giving us such expensive gifts? A rough estimate places these gifts at close to a hundred and fifty million dollars!”
Yuma was so excited that his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
“Yeah, they sure as hell look like they cost that much! Mr. Crawford from the Crawford family, a real generous fella ain’t he!? But isn’t it odd that we’ve never met them before? I’ve been around for so long and yet I have never heard of such a family before. Maybe they’re one of the juniors’ classmates?”
Lady Yaleman said in disbelief.
Astonished, all of the juniors exchanged glances with one another.
