Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 857 “Another gift?” said several of the guests as they awaited eagerly for it. After all, one would surelywonder what else the two powerful Crawford siblings had to offer after seeing the moonstone and allthe presidents Gerald had invited.

“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 theatmosphere even tenser than it already was.

“What a beautiful woman!” shouted several of the people as they watched her make her way into theliving 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 wellaware 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 slightlytoward 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 Yalemanbetween nods.

Though she had lived a long life, this was honestly the first time she had ever felt this much glory andpride from her family members.

“You must be Bea, right? Here! This is a gift from your cousin and I!” said Lyra as she smiled whilelooking 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 thepresident of the Trustdeck Group in Yanaken, Bea. Aside from that, you’ll also be the one in charge ofall 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.

Even Lady Yaleman was stunned speechless.

“The Trustdeck Group belonged to the Crawford family…? And now Bea’s the president of theTrustdeck group?!”

All of the people present had bulging eyes as they realized what that meant.

After all, even if they completely disregarded the fact that all the properties up North—that theCrawfords owned—now belonged to Bea, with her new position as the Trustdeck Group’s president,the other three large families in Yanken would’ve already suffered a terrible loss!

As a surge of emotions filled Rose, making her feel faint, Mae and the other girls immediately beganhopping in excitement as they cheered while holding on to Bea’s hands.

No wonder Chairman Jagger and the other big shots had taken the initiative to celebrate Bea’sbirthday! It explained why they had asked her for future guidance regarding their businesses as well!

As it turned out, Mr. Crawford had been looking for the perfect opportunity to hand the group andproperties over to Bea for a while now.

Lady Yaleman was now filled with ecstasy. Not only had the Crawford siblings help resolve her issueswith the Long family, but they had also given Bea so many priceless gifts!

While Lady Yaleman was feeling both grateful and excited, simultaneously, she was also feelinganother emotion.

After the situation calmed down a bit, Jessica turned to look at Shane who hadn’t even dared to movefrom his earlier spot.

“I’m in a rather good mood today, so I won’t torture you, Shane! Speaking of which, I trust that youremember how your father looked like that year in Mayberry, correct?” said Jessica coldly.

“I-I haven’t forgotten, Miss!” replied Shane as he rapidly nodded.

Back then, Jessica had kicked both Shane and his father out of Mayberry after discovering their directinvolvement with a certain incident.

“I’m glad you haven’t forgotten! Now listen closely. If you ever come face to face with another Yalemanin the future, avoid them. If you don’t, you only have yourself to blame for what I do to you next! Nowget out of my sight!” ordered Jessica.

“R-right away, Miss!” said Shane as he bolted from his spot.

“Come back here! Who do you think you are to leave like that! Return and roll all the way out!” growledJessica.

Shane could feel his lips twitch slightly. After all, he had done the same thing that year when he and hisfather were kicked out of Mayberry. Though it was a moment of déjà vu, he didn’t even dare to sigh ashe lay down on the floor and began rolling toward the entrance.novelbin

‘F*cking hell! To think that Bea would have such powerful people on her side!’
