“Regardless of whether he’s part of it or not, don’t forget that you’re the one in power here. The Trustdeck Group cooperates with you. Not Yura,” reminded Gerald.
“…That’s true. I don’t have to be afraid anymore! Speaking of which, cousin, I see you’ve prepared a gift box there. Who’s it for?” asked Bea as she sat on a sofa while looking at him.
Hearing her question, Gerald wiped his hands clean and picked the gift box up before saying, “I was planning to pay grandma a visit once your meeting was over.”
Gerald had initially wanted to meet up with her earlier but once he found out that the Yalemans were having a family meeting, he postponed his plan. After all, he really didn’t want to have to deal with First aunt and the others.
“Still, aren’t you the curious one. Did you think that it was a birthday gift for you?” added Gerald with a cheeky smile on his face. He remembered, at that moment, that Bea’s birthday was in two days.
In response, Bea stuck her tongue out before saying, “No, I didn’t!”
“Regardless, since the meeting is over, I’ll go visit grandma now. I heard that she’s been turning in quite early nowadays!”
While his tone was casual, Gerald was honestly feeling extremely anxious since he was, after all, about to discuss reconciliation with his fearsome grandmother.
Upon arriving at her home, however, he first bumped into both Yura and Rose who were taking a stroll. The mother and child were quite wary of Gerald at this point after all that had happened.
“What are you doing here at this late hour, Gerald?” asked Yura.
“I’ve come to meet grandma!” replied Gerald.
“Humph! Lady Yaleman’s already turned in! If there’s anything, you can just discuss it with me!” said Rose as she crossed her arms.
“Thank you, but I kindly refuse!” said Gerald rather coldly before turning around to walk away from the duo.
“Hold it right there! What kind of tone was that?” growled Rose furiously when she saw how disrespectful Gerald was being to her in front of her other subordinates.
