    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 tell


    you about it sometime in the future. Regardless, it’s your birthday tomorrow! I’ll be preparing a little


    something 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 yfully.


    “It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you the answer now, would it? Just wait for tomorrow,” replied Gerald


    with 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 first


    time she had noticed it either.


    While her cousin had always behaved like an attentive elder brother would, she was able to tell that he


    constantly 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 quite


    possibly 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 at


    least that was what she assumed.


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


    came.


    While she had initially nned to make a reservation at a restaurant early that morning, she received a


    notification 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 the


    family’s superiors had been invited to attend. After all, it had been so long since such a celebratory


    party—regarding the signing of contracts—had been held.


    From what Bea could remember, thest time a simr 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 evene close to rivaling it.


    Since the Yalemans had invited everyone they could possibly think of, Bea didn’t even dare to think


    about 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 greet


    the guests.


    “Congrattions 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 truly


    lies in you now, Mr. Yaleman!”


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


    congrattions!”


    At the time, several distinguished guests were busy praising Yura. After all, they had heard that the


    Yaleman family had signed contracts for five major projects. That was an instant sign that their family


    had 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 sess, she had beenpletely ignored by most


    of the guests.


    “Humph! While you did manage to gain all those projects, don’t think you’ll get an upper hand just


    because of that! I’ll say it now, with me here, you’ll eternally be inferior to me!” said Yura as he smiled


    coldly at Bea.

    Though she was furious at hisment, she said nothing.


    “Speaking of which, Bea, it’s your birthday today, isn’t it? Hah! Looks like you won’t be able to celebrate


    it!” added Yura with a smirk on his face as Bea red at him.


    It was a short momentter when Lady Yaleman made her appearance, leading a few people from their


    family.


    When she saw Bea’s expression, however, she immediately said, “Bea, I do hope you realize what sort


    of asion we’re celebrating today… Take a look at yourself! So cold and aloof… We have so many


    distinguished guests here today yet the way you present yourself would make anyone feel unwee!”


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


    her reputation and dignity.


    “You may have forgotten, grandma, but it’s Bea’s birthday today! Of course she’d be unhappy since


    she’s here weing guests instead of celebrating it!” exined Yura.


    “Oh? It’s your birthday today? What a truly sorry case! You’re feeling burdened to have to deal with


    family affairs even though it’s your special day, aren’t you?” said Rose out of the blue as she joined in


    on 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, thenpare yourself to him! Mind your manners before the guests! It


    seems what your aunt had said was right after all. She had imed that youcked experience being a


    superior, and though I thought that you’d be able to adapt quickly, I was wrong. It seems that you’re


    truly incapable of handling such asions.”


    “You don’t have to wee the guests anymore! Just head inside and see if there’s anything else that


    requires help with!” said Lady Yaleman solemnly.
