Chapter 1231


    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1231


    Soon after, the very next day came.


    Despite facing a financial crisis, Noelle’s family still ced great importance in the preparation process


    for Noelle’s twentieth birthday. After all, Noelle being able to celebrate her birthday happily was the


    most important thing to her family.


    It exined how what was initially a tiny birthday banquet ended up bing more of arge family


    gathering instead.


    The venue of the celebration itself was arge private room—that could amodate up to thirty


    people—in Longthorne International Hotel that Noelle’s parents had booked for the day.


    Among the thirty people invited to the banquet were Noelle’s family members, her ssmates, her


    cousins, and several other rtives including her eldest, and third uncle. They were adamant on


    making this birthday banquet as festive as possible in order to rid their family of their bad luck.


    “Sister-inw and Second brother! Both of you are truly blessed to have such a beautiful daughter as


    Noelle! She has such a good temperament too! I’m sure the two of you will definitely be able to


    continue living and enjoying a good life together with Noelle in the future!” said Noelle’s third aunt with


    a smile as she looked at Noelle’s parents.


    “Enjoy life? What even is there to enjoy? You should be well aware of how messy our family’s current


    financial state is, Third! We even have to begin thinking about how we’re going to survive the second


    half of our lives!” replied Zavien as he shook his head bitterly.


    Hearing that, Noelle’s eldest and third uncle could only sigh.


    “…Still, there’s no need to get too anxious… Quite honestly, our business isn’t doing as terribly as we


    had initially imagined. As long as we can get someone to invest a sum of money into our business,


    we’ll surely be able to get through this crisis! You know, I heard that Preston, the Wake family’s young


    master, has actively been pursuing after Noelle recently. Do any of you know anything about the Wake


    family’s strength or background?”


    The moment Noelle’s third aunt changed the topic, everyone’s attention immediately fell on Noelle.


    In truth, Noelle’s eldest and third uncle were people who only did things that benefitted themselves.


    With that in mind, why were they even bothering to bring their entire families along just to attend the


    birthday banquet of a young girl like Noelle?


    Putting it bluntly, it was because they were well aware of the benefits that Noelle could potentially bring


    to their family.


    Even Zavien and Gracie had heard about Preston’s pursuits of Noelle, so Noelle’s third aunt’s


    statement wasn’t wrong at all.


    From what they knew, the Wake family was extremely formidable. Not only did they own a public listed


    company of their own, but their family also had the background of the Mayberry Commercial Group!


    With that in mind, anyone who met or encountered the Wakes would surely give them face.


    Regardless, if Noelle truly ended up getting together with Preston—and Preston was willing to have a


    word with his father about their current situation on their behalf—then the Shadwells would definitely be


    able to turn things around and resolve their current crisis.


    With that said, it was no wonder why Noelle’s aunts and uncles had taken their time toe over today


    just to celebrate her birthday.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “…Speaking of Preston, I heard that Noelle invited him over to the birthday banquet, right?” added her


    third aunt with a smile.


    Gracie simplyughed subtly before saying, “To think that you’re even more well-informed than I am,


    sister! How did you even find out that she invited him over?”


    Smiling awkwardly, Third aunt simply replied, “I… Just so happened to hear about it!”


    “I see! For those who didn’t know any better, I’m sure they’d have assumed that you’ve been paying


    close attention to Preston. Sadly, though Faye is quite excellent, she hasn’t quite had the luck of


    bumping into someone like Preston at all. I guess she still needs to work harder to gain the attention


    and favor of someone like him, aren’t I right, Faye?” said Gracie as she looked at her third aunt’s


    daughter who was the same age as Noelle.


    Gracie couldn’t help but feel slightly jealous since Third aunt was able to know quite a bit about Preston


    after just hearing his name a few times. It simultaneously also worried her that Noelle’s third aunt could


    be nning to introduce her own daughter, Faye, to Preston. Was she trying to snatch Gracie’s


    potential son-inw from her? If that was the case, Gracie’s onlyment was ‘dream on!’


    After thinking about it a little while more, Gracie continued by saying, “Speaking of which, sister, you


    may not have heard about this, but Preston gave Noelle an extremely touching confession before the


    unfortunate incident took ce yesterday! He even knelt before her, you know? I heard that many


    people were watching the entire thing as well! It’s just such a pity that Noelle, being the stubborn girl


    she is, simply refused to be his girlfriend!”


    “…Is that so? My, how amazing Noelle is!” replied Third aunt as she blushed in embarrassment while


    praising Noelle in a slightly bitter tone.


    At that moment, a waiter opened the door of the private room while saying, “Mr. Wake! Please,e


    in!”


    Following that, a handsome young man wearing a white suit and a necktie walked into the room with a


    bouquet of flowers in hand.
