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 tellyou about it sometime in the future. Regardless, it’s your birthday tomorrow! I’ll be preparing a littlesomething 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 Geraldwith 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 firsttime she had noticed it either.

While her cousin had always behaved like an attentive elder brother would, she was able to tell that heconstantly 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 quitepossibly 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 atleast that was what she assumed.

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

While she had initially planned to make a reservation at a restaurant early that morning, she received anotification 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 thefamily’s superiors had been invited to attend. After all, it had been so long since such a celebratoryparty—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 thinkabout 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 greetthe guests.

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

“He’s so young but he’s already so capable! How remarkable! The future of the Yaleman family trulylies in you now, Mr. Yaleman!”

“Hey, hey, Mr. Yaleman? We should be addressing him as Chairman Yaleman now! Either way,congratulations!”

At the time, several distinguished guests were busy praising Yura. After all, they had heard that theYaleman family had signed contracts for five major projects. That was an instant sign that their familyhad undergone an extreme upgrade. Things were definitely going to be different now.

As Yura continued getting praise after praise, Bea simply remained silent as she stood at the side.Even though she was the biggest contributor to this success, she had been completely ignored by mostof the guests.novelbin

“Humph! While you did manage to gain all those projects, don’t think you’ll get an upper hand justbecause of that! I’ll say it now, with me here, you’ll eternally be inferior to me!” said Yura as he smiledcoldly at Bea.

Though she was furious at his comment, she said nothing.

“Speaking of which, Bea, it’s your birthday today, isn’t it? Hah! Looks like you won’t be able to celebrateit!” added Yura with a smirk on his face as Bea glared at him.

It was a short moment later when Lady Yaleman made her appearance, leading a few people from theirfamily.

When she saw Bea’s expression, however, she immediately said, “Bea, I do hope you realize what sortof occasion we’re celebrating today… Take a look at yourself! So cold and aloof… We have so manydistinguished guests here today yet the way you present yourself would make anyone feel unwelcome!”

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

“You may have forgotten, grandma, but it’s Bea’s birthday today! Of course she’d be unhappy sinceshe’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 withfamily affairs even though it’s your special day, aren’t you?” said Rose out of the blue as she joined inon 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! Itseems what your aunt had said was right after all. She had claimed that you lacked experience being asuperior, and though I thought that you’d be able to adapt quickly, I was wrong. It seems that you’retruly incapable of handling such occasions.”

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