Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 852 “You silly girl, here you are! I was looking all over for you! I’ve even called you but you didn’t even pick up! You know, your grandma’s so anxious in there yet you-” Though Catherine was already angry when she stomped over, the moment she saw that her daughter had arranged a table in the backyard, she became even more infuriated. “Could you please be a little more sensible, Bea? Haven’t I told you that we’ll celebrate your birthday tonight? How badly do you want to celebrate it for you to host it in the backyard? It’s almost as if you want Rose and her family to hold something against us!” scolded Catherine in a rage. She was just about to drag her daughter away when she recognized who was sitting at the table. In her shock, Catherine let out a squeak before covering her mouth with her hands. It was evident that she knew who everyone at the table was. “You’re Miss Yaleman’s mother, correct? It’s a pleasure to meet you! We’ve come over to celebrate Miss Yaleman’s birthday!” said a few of the distinguished guests with smiles on their faces. Though she thought that she had heard wrong, the moment she saw Sheldon there serving them drinks, she soon realized that they were telling the truth. “My… My daughter’s birthday? You… came here to celebrate that…?” Catherine was so excited that she was honestly at a loss for words. Unable to express herself properly, she was now intensely rubbing her hands together! However, the second she noticed that Gerald was present as well, her expression turned stern as she tugged him by the ear before shouting, “Stand up already! Don’t you see that I’m here? Get me a seat!” “Good god!” shouted one of the big shots as everyone important at the scene became stupefied by what they were witnessing. Clattering and crashes followed next as Chairman Jagger and a few others couldn’t even hold their teacups properly in their shock. Recovering moments later, all the guests at the table stood up in unison, their faces filled with utter fear. “I-I’m sorry for scaring all of you! P-please sit down!” said Catherine as she blushed nervously. As Gerald rubbed on his swollen ear, he nodded at Chairman Jagger and the others. It was only after Gerald did that, that the other important people dared to return seated. Bea, on the other hand, immediately tugged at her mother’s sleeve before whispering something into her ear. “…W-what did you say?” said Catherine, an expression of utter shock on her face. When she finally snapped out of it, she immediately turned to look at Gerald before dragging a chair over to him. “P-please have a seat, Gerald!” With a sigh, Gerald then sat down. Back inside the living room, Yura—who had been keeping his grandmother company this entire time—was standing beside Lady Yaleman as a few people waited in line to serve her tea. Lady Yaleman herself had been delighted for most of the day. After all, it had been so long since the Yaleman family had experienced such liveliness and prosperity. Once the tea serving ceremony was over, however, Lady Yaleman’s face turned slightly dull. “Is the party not going to commence soon? Where is Bea? Why hasn’t her mother brought her back yet? Sheldon!” shouted the grandmother. “The butler isn’t here, grandma,” said Yura. “Humph! Imprudent! How unruly!” said Lady Yaleman angrily as she sent a teacup flying off the table. The sound of shattering was quick to follow. “I’ve already told you that Bea was only lucky back then, mom… She simply isn’t that capable. However, you refused to believe me, thinking that I was only jealous of her contributions. Yet look at how things are going now… Wasn’t I right?” said Rose. “Indeed! You know, I saw that she had invited a few of her ex-classmates earlier. That was also the last I ever saw of them. Since she hasn’t shown up since then, at this point, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that she’s gone out with them to have fun somewhere. She barely even cares about the major affairs of the family! We’re lucky that all the distinguished guests here today aren’t too bothered about her absence. Think about it. If a rumor stating that the Yaleman family treats our guests with cold shoulders comes to be, then everything we’ve done today would’ve been for naught!” added Yura. “Well, since she’s now the head of the Yaleman family after gaining us all those projects, I say it’s fine that she acts recklessly every once in a while. Still, to think that we’ll be relying on her in the future!” said Ysabel, clearly adding fuel to the fire. “Humph! And who was it that gave her the position of family head? I’m not dead yet! That girl is truly too unruly to be left in charge of our family’s future! Like mother, like daughter! Once this party’s over, she’ll no longer be in charge of any of the projects! She’ll just have to work at the company!” said Lady Yaleman angrily. Hearing that, both Rose and Yura exchanged glances with each other as they smiled wickedly.
