The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 852 âYou silly girl, here you are! I was looking all over for you! Iâve even called you but you didnât even pick up! You know, your grandmaâs so anxious in there yet you-â 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. âCould you please be a little more sensible, Bea? Havenât I told you that weâll celebrate your birthday tonight? How badly do you want to celebrate it for you to host it in the backyard? Itâs almost as if you want Rose and her family to hold something against us!â 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. âYouâre Miss Yalemanâs mother, correct? Itâs a pleasure to meet you! Weâve come over to celebrate Miss Yalemanâs birthday!â 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. âMy⦠My daughterâs birthday? Youâ¦
came here to celebrate thatâ¦?â 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, âStand up already! Donât you see that Iâm here? Get me a seat!â âGood god!â
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 couldnât 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. âI-Iâm sorry for scaring all of you! P-please sit down!â 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 motherâs sleeve before whispering something into her ear. ââ¦W-what did you say?â 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. âP-please have a seat, Gerald!â With a sigh, Gerald then sat down. Back inside the living room, Yuraâwho had been keeping his grandmother company this entire timeâwas 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 Yalemanâs face turned slightly dull. âIs the party not going to commence soon? Where is Bea? Why hasnât her mother brought her back yet? Sheldon!â shouted the grandmother. âThe butler isnât here, grandma,â said Yura.
âHumph! Imprudent! How unruly!â said Lady Yaleman angrily as she sent a teacup flying off the table.
The sound of shattering was quick to follow. âIâve already told you that Bea was only lucky back then, mom⦠She simply isnât 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⦠Wasnât I right?â said Rose. âIndeed!
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 hasnât shown up since then, at this point, it wouldnât be far-fetched to say that sheâs gone out with them to have fun somewhere. She barely even cares about the major affairs of the family! Weâre lucky that all the distinguished guests here today arenât 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 weâve done today wouldâve been for naught!â added Yura. âWell, since sheâs now the head of the Yaleman family after gaining us all those projects, I say itâs fine that she acts recklessly every once in a while. Still, to think that weâll be relying on her in the future!â said Ysabel, clearly adding fuel to the fire. âHumph! And who was it that gave her the position of family head? Iâm not dead yet!
That girl is truly too unruly to be left in charge of our familyâs future! Like mother, like daughter! Once this partyâs over, sheâll no longer be in charge of any of the projects! Sheâll just have to work at the company!â said Lady Yaleman angrily. Hearing that, both Rose and Yura exchanged glances with each other as they smiled wickedly.
