“Since Gerald and I have each already presented a gift, the third gift will be given to you by our sister-in-law!” said Jessica as she turned to look back.
As the others followed her gaze, they saw that a group of servants—led by an extremely graceful-looking woman—were now walking down the hall toward them.
Even from afar, everyone could tell how gentle the beautiful woman’s disposition was. That made the atmosphere even tenser than it already was.
“What a beautiful woman!” shouted several of the people as they watched her make her way into the living room.
“Sister-in-law?” said Bea, shocked.
The sister-in-law in question, was none other than Lyra.
As she turned to look at Gerald, he simply lowered his head and said nothing. After all, he was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to explain the affair properly in such a short amount of time.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Grandma,” said Lyra as she stood beside Gerald while bowing slightly toward Lady Yaleman with a smile on her face.
Lady Yaleman herself was smiling broadly as she nodded back at her.
“What an astounding woman my granddaughter-in-law is! Absolutely wonderful!” said Lady Yaleman between nods.
Though she had lived a long life, this was honestly the first time she had ever felt this much glory and pride from her family members.
“You must be Bea, right? Here! This is a gift from your cousin and I!” said Lyra as she smiled while looking at Bea.
As soon as she said that, one of her subordinates walked up to her and presented Bea with a contract.
Blinking, she then looked at the contract before her as Lyra explained, “From today onward, you’re the president of the Trustdeck Group in Yanaken, Bea. Aside from that, you’ll also be the one in charge of all the properties belonging to the Crawford family up North!”
“…Huh?”
It was the only reply Bea could process in her stupefied state as she looked at the smiling Lyra.
