Bea proceeded to explain to Gerald what had happened to the Yaleman family.
To put it briefly, the Yaleman family, which was already down in the dumps had just been stabbed in the back by the Long family, again.
The Long family had set their crosshairs on the Yaleman family’s main source of income, which was also the largest remaining development project they had on hand.
This was in spite of the fact that the Yaleman family’s finances were well-structured enough for them to retaliate.
However, both of them had control over massive industries which further fuelled their never-ending demand for more capital.
This was especially so for the kind of business their family was directly involved in. It was the Yaleman family’s immediate lifeline, without which they would cease to exist.
Such a massive project had been yanked out of their hands.
It was natural for them to feel the pain at first instance.
When Lady Yaleman was lecturing Rose for her mistakes, she shoved the blame to someone else.
To be more exact, she pressured Bea into getting a new project for the company.
Lady Yaleman was so frustrated that she told anyone who was inactive and wasn’t willing to chip in to get lost from the family.
She pointed her finger directly at Bea and Gerald’s fifth aunt.
This naturally pissed the both of them off.
“Hahaha. Is that all? Then it should be a pretty easy job!”
Gerald said with a wry smile on his face after listening to Bea.
“Cousin, the Yaleman family is in a complete mess right now, so don’t joke around with me anymore! God! My mother and I are both really frustrated right now. This is obviously all my eldest uncle’s fault. He was the one who got us into this mess so why are they shoving the blame to us instead?!”
Bea started complaining.
“Why would I be joking with you? Y’know, grandma’s not feeling this way because you guys have just lost this project. After all, the Yaleman family is not desperately in need of money. However, she is feeling anxious because the Yaleman family has no new projects anymore. The Yaleman family specializes in engineering development. Having a project on hand is like constantly having an advertising campaign. It all pays to have our name circulating among our potential clients. Without a project, the only outcome will be a downward spiral, and it’s this thing that grandma’s really worried about!” Gerald replied.
“I guess you’re right. But even though I’m in the project department, I can’t just handle the entire project on my own. Rose is supposed to be in charge of all of this. I knew she was just trying to get rid of me and my mother! She won’t stop until we’re out of the family!”
“Then, you should just gain a few large-scale projects for the Yaleman Group and show her that you’re a capable person. I’ll help you with that!” Gerald replied with a smile.
“There you go, pulling my leg again!”
