Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 847
After thinking about it for some time, Gerald ended up gently patting Bea’s head before saying, “I’ll tell you about it sometime in the future. Regardless, it’s your birthday tomorrow! I’ll be preparing a little something for you, so expect to be pleasantly surprised when you receive your gift!”

“Huh? What’s the gift?” asked Bea as she stuck her tongue out playfully.

“It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you the answer now, would it? Just wait for tomorrow,” replied Gerald with a faint smile before returning to his room.

Though he was smiling as he left, Bea could sense how truly forlorn Gerald was. This wasn’t the first time she had noticed it either.

While her cousin had always behaved like an attentive elder brother would, she was able to tell that he constantly had something weighing on his mind. He just never seemed to be truly happy.

Bea suspected it had something to do with what had happened between him and her possible sister-in-law. However, since he refused to talk about her, Bea didn’t continue prying out of respect.

Being his cousin, Bea naturally felt the urge to help him, and she knew that the easiest—and quite possibly the only—way for her to assist in such a situation was to distract him out of his gloominess.

The problem was that Gerald didn’t really have many people he could have fun with in Yanken, or at least that was what she assumed.

As the gears in Bea’s head began grinding, time passed on and the day of her birthday eventually came.

While she had initially planned to make a reservation at a restaurant early that morning, she received a notification from her family before she could even make the call.

Apparently her family was organizing a party to celebrate the implementation of the projects. All the family’s superiors had been invited to attend. After all, it had been so long since such a celebratory party—regarding the signing of contracts—had been held.

From what Bea could remember, the last time a similar party was held was around twelve years ago. This could only signify that the party this time was going to be extraordinarily grand. So grand, in fact, that Lady Yaleman’s eightieth birthday party could probably not even come close to rivaling it.

Since the Yalemans had invited everyone they could possibly think of, Bea didn’t even dare to think about excusing herself. Thus, both she and Catherine quickly left for the venue once they were ready.

As one of the two main people in charge of the projects, Bea had to stand at the door with Yura to greet the guests.

“Congratulations for getting all those projects, Mr. Yaleman!”

Lady Yaleman couldn’t refrain from scolding her. After all, she was a person who cared a lot about both her reputation and dignity.

“You may have forgotten, grandma, but it’s Bea’s birthday today! Of course she’d be unhappy since she’s here welcoming guests instead of celebrating it!” explained Yura.

“Oh? It’s your birthday today? What a truly sorry case! You’re feeling burdened to have to deal with family affairs even though it’s your special day, aren’t you?” said Rose out of the blue as she joined in on the conversation.

“I’m not!” denied Bea immediately.

Hearing what Rose had said, Lady Yaleman frowned.

“Regardless, you and Yura are standing out here since you’re both in charge of the projects. However, look at how he presents himself, then compare yourself to him! Mind your manners before the guests! It seems what your aunt had said was right after all. She had claimed that you lacked experience being a superior, and though I thought that you’d be able to adapt quickly, I was wrong. It seems that you’re truly incapable of handling such occasions.”

“You don’t have to welcome the guests anymore! Just head inside and see if there’s anything else that requires help with!” said Lady Yaleman solemnly.
