Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 831

“Are you saying that the clothes that Gerald wore cost just as much?” Rose asked in disbelief.

“Impossible! It is absolutely impossible! We already know about his father, Dylan Crawford’s status from back then. Like hell, their family’s that affluent! The most probable explanation is that Gerald won the lottery! He must’ve blown all that cash impulsively just now!” Rose said.

It seemed as though the million dollars Gerald spent really left a huge impact on them.

“Now that eldest aunt and the others are all gone, let’s go back to the shop and ask for a refund for this membership card. It’s way too expensive! So much money’s in there! Don’t you think it’s a waste to leave it all in there?”

“There is no need for that, Bea…”

“It’s a million bucks! How could you just brush it off like it’s nothing? Also, why…why do you have so much money?”

Bea seemed a little terrified.

Gerald laughed as he shot a glance at Bea who was behind the wheel. After that, he said, “I will tell you something, something that you can’t tell anyone else yet. This includes fifth aunt too!”

“What is it?” Bea asked.

“I am actually a rich heir and I am the kind of rich heir who has an unlimited amount of money to spend!” Gerald replied with an eager smile on his face.

“Hahaha!”

Unexpectedly, Bea suddenly laughed out loud, “Okay then, rich heir, if you’ve that much money, then please allow your humble cousin to help you to spend some of that cash!”

Bea obviously thought that Gerald was just pulling her leg.

“Cough. Cough. You can choose to believe me or not!” Gerald replied after clearing his throat.

“By the way, what gift are you planning to give to grandma for her birthday tomorrow?” Bea asked.

“I do not know what to give her either! I’ll think about it tomorrow!”

The atmosphere at the Yaleman family mansion was extremely lively.

It was Lady Yaleman’s eightieth birthday today.

Compared to the previous years, her eightieth birthday banquet was much grander and multitudes livelier.

Not only were all the members of the Yaleman family present, there were multiple distinguished guests who were also invited here to celebrate Lady Yaleman’s birthday.

“Each and every gift from the distinguished guests should be recorded down on paper clearly and re-checked. You absolutely mustn’t be careless about this! There should be a lot of distinguished guests present this year and the ranking arrangements should be treated with utmost seriousness!”

Lady Yaleman was wearing a red festive robe early in the morning as she instructed the butler.

Lady Yaleman took her seat after that.

Upon receiving a signal from their parents, the younger generation of the family started coming forward to offer their gifts to Lady Yaleman.

“Grandma, this is the jade bracelet that I bought for you. Take a look at it and see if you like it?”

A girl came up with a sweet smile on her face.

“I like it. I like it a lot! Ooh, a piece of nephrite jade! What a good child you are!”

Lady Yaleman smiled happily.

She held the girl’s hands throughout their brief exchange.

“Oh! Bea! The both of you just arrived, I presume?”

Bea had arrived with Gerald.

They happened to run into Yura and a few others.

“Bea, what kind of a gift did you buy for grandma this year? Don’t tell me that you’re giving her another embroidery that you made yourself again, just like you did last year! Hahaha!”

Yura and the others started cackling away.

Yura’s laughter was the clearest and the loudest. After he was satisfied with mocking Bea, he shot a cold, hostile glare at Gerald.

“I didn’t expect that you’d attend grandma’s birthday banquet too! Hahaha! To think that you came empty-handed!” Yura said as he laughed.

After that, he whispered into Gerald’s ear, “I am warning you. You should stop thinking about laying your hands on the Yaleman family’s assets! Don’t let me catch you trying to put any weird thoughts into that old woman’s head!”

Gerald quietly listened to Yura’s provocative words.

He did not even bother to look at him but instead, he flashed a kind smile at Bea. “Come, let’s go in now!” he said to her.

They proceeded to make their way towards grandma.

Yura was so angry that his fists were tightly-clenched out of anger.

“Country bumpkin! I will never let you off so easily!”

Yura thought indignantly to himself.

Due to the previous grievances, Yura had never liked Gerald. Despite how honest and decent that hillbilly seemed, that bastard kept stealing the limelight from Yura when they were in the bar last night.

Yura did not know what Gerald said to Brandon in the end that ended up with his head getting smashed in by Brandon in front of all his cousins.

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 832

Yura placed the blame entirely on Gerald.

The thing that pissed him off most was when he finally found a goddess that he was interested in, Gerald had to butt in and screw-up his chance to shine.

“Look, grandma! This is my birthday gift to you!”

The younger generation of the family was still presenting their gifts at the main table of the birthday banquet.

Lady Yaleman was grinning from ear-to-ear; she could not conceal the happiness that she was feeling right now.

“Oh! Isn’t that Bea? What took you so long? Have you already forgotten that it is your grandmother’s birthday today?”

In walked Bea and Gerald.

Rose wore a cunning smirk as she spoke.

“How can I possibly forget about grandma’s birthday? Eldest aunt, you are too much!” Bea retorted immediately.

“Hahaha! Let’s see what kind of birthday gift Bea prepared for grandma this year-round!”

Several girls simultaneously.

Bea’s mother was visibly irritated when she heard what those girls said about her daughter. She then directed a reassuring smile at Bea whilst glancing down at the gift she was holding.

She knew that her mother would be overjoyed if she received this gift.

“Bea, hurry up and show your grandmother the gift that you’ve gotten for her!” Catherine said.

“Okay! Grandma, this is the birthday gift that I have prepared for you this year! It’s a dragon jade bracelet!”

Bea said as she opened the box carefully.

“Dragon jade bracelet?”

Lady Yaleman was stunned for a moment.

She looked down at the gift and realized, it was just as she had said, a dragon jade bracelet!

In fact, Gerald had already bought a dragon jade bracelet for Giya before this and it cost about fifteen thousand dollars.

Of course, it wasn’t like Lady Yaleman couldn’t afford such a small gift.

But she knew very well that Bea’s family was not doing as well for the past few years. It was part of the reason why they could not afford to give her any decent gifts back then.

However, the fact that Bea was willing to give her a dragon jade bracelet that was worth more than fifteen thousand dollars naturally proved Bea’s filial piety towards her.

“Okay! It’s pretty good!” Lady Yaleman said with a smile.

The dragon jade bracelet had already completely won over Lady Yaleman’s heart, and her reaction was completely different from when she was presented with the nephrite jade bracelet from earlier on.

The expression on Gerald’s second aunt and cousin turned sour immediately.

“Bea, I heard that you’re working as an intern in the group’s project department for a couple of months now. Sigh, you’re all grown up in a blink of an eye. If you perform well, granny will teach you the way of the trade, and maybe then, you’ll be able to lead a bigger department on your own!” said Lady Yaleman.

“Thank you, grandma!”

Bea was very happy when she heard her grandmother’s words. Catherine was elated to hear those words as well.

“Grandma, how can you be so sure that this is an authentic dragon jade bracelet? After all, there are countless knock-offs in the market!” sneered Yura as he approached them.

The expression on Bea’s face changed slightly.

The same went for Catherine, who finally decided to stand up for her daughter, “Yura, what are you talking about? Let me tell you. This bracelet is something my mother gave me, and now it’s passed on to Bea. It’s impossible that it’s a knock-off!”

Catherine was telling the truth. She had really gone all in at this time.

“Grandma, I learned some basic identification techniques when I was studying abroad. Why don’t you let me take a look at it?” Yura said.

Yura’s words cast doubt in Lady Yaleman’s heart, which quickly became apparent on her face.

After all, she knew her daughter-in-law, Catherine very well. If this really was such a precious item, why would Catherine be willing to give it to her as a birthday gift?

Lady Yaleman handed the dragon jade bracelet over to Yura.

“Oh, man. There’s no doubt about it. It’s a fake!”

Yura shook his head with a mere glance at the bracelet.

“You don’t know what you’re talking about Yura! What do you know?” Catherine replied anxiously.

“Hahaha! Fifth aunt, why do you sound so anxious? Okay then. I’ll keep my mouth shut. If you say it is authentic, we’ll just treat it as such!”

He proceeded to hand the jade bracelet over to Catherine.

However, before poor Catherine could grab it, he released his grip deliberately.

Clink!

With a crisp sound, the jade bracelet shattered into a million pieces on the cold hard ground…

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 833

“My jade bracelet!”

The jade bracelet had shattered into a million pieces.

Catherine’s eyes widened from the shock.

Bea was also taken aback by what Yura had just done.

This jade bracelet was the most precious treasure in their family.

Her grandmother had given this jade bracelet to her mother before it was passed down to Bea.

The reason why Catherine was willing to let go of the bracelet as a gift for Lady Yaleman was quite simple.

Her husband was currently lying in bed in a vegetative state and there was no more hope for her.

She hoped that her daughter would be able to prove herself and gain recognition from the Yaleman family, someday in the future.

As long as Lady Yaleman was pleased and satisfied, then Bea would be able to move forward.

Otherwise, if Rose was allowed to gain full control of the company in the future, then all hope would truly be lost for Bea and her family.

But now, this final bastion of hope had been smashed into the cold hard ground!

Yura had obviously done this on purpose!

“Give me back my jade bracelet! I want you to compensate me for my jade bracelet!”

Catherine’s eyes were red and blinded by rage as she rushed forward and grabbed Yura forcefully by the collar.

Everyone at the birthday banquet stopped what they were doing and stared at the source of the commotion.

“Stop it! Do you still know how to behave yourself?!”

Lady Yaleman yelled angrily at them both. She was a woman who cared about her public appearance after all.

“Mom! Yura did it on purpose! He deliberately broke my dragon jade bracelet!” Catherine complained in a distressed tone.

“Oh! It’s just a lousy bracelet anyway! Chances are, it might even be a fake! So what if it was an authentic dragon jade bracelet?”

“Aren’t you a bit too old to be quarreling with your own junior? Have you no shame?”
