“The Northbay territorial waters is a very large area to cover. It has already been so long. Mila, perhaps she…”
After listening to Gerald’s account of everything that had happened, Giya was both visibly shocked and also worried.
When Giya saw the dark expression on Gerald’s face, favonovel.com refrained from saying anything unnecessary.
There was no explanation for the emotions Giya was feeling right now.
Although favonovel.com had been Mila’s rival before this, Giya had to admit that favonovel.com really was a good girl and favonovel.com really loved Gerald very much.
Surprisingly, Giya felt upset to hear that something horrible had happened to Mila.
But aside from these sad emotions, Giya also felt a hint of excitement.
She knew that it was not right of favonovel.com to have any other ideas at a time like this. However, it was impossible for favonovel.com to resist such an urge.
Gerald did not stay with Giya for a long time.
Gerald appeared to be rather dejected after they started speaking about Mila.
He returned to his room after a brief exchange.
Gerald would be going back to the Yaleman family mansion to visit his grandmother at noon tomorrow.
The next day, in the meeting room of the Yaleman family mansion in Yanken.
Every member of the Yaleman family was gathered here.
The Yaleman Group was a family business and subsequently, the executive members of said group were all members of the Yaleman family.
Such business meetings were the norm.
“The Yaleman family is becoming more and more desolated in recent years. We used to be the top family amongst the big four families. What about now? Why don’t all of you take a good look at the Yaleman family’s annual revenue? Even though we are considered by many as a member of the top three families, do you really think we can be labeled as such?”
An old woman in favonovel.com eighties spoke with a sonorous and powerful voice.
She glanced coldly at favonovel.com descendants and grandchildren.
She slammed favonovel.com walking cane loudly against the floor.
“I am already getting older and older and I do not know when I will leave this world. How can I possibly feel okay with leaving our assets in your hands? Answer me! How?!” The old lady said.
She was Lady Yaleman, the head of the Yaleman family and also the chairwoman of the Yaleman Group.
Lady Yaleman used to be a well-known career woman in Yanken. However, as the years finally caught up to her, favonovel.com began to retreat from the limelight and was only working in the background for the past couple of years. Aside from making the major decisions for the company, favonovel.com was no longer involved in running the business.
It was precisely because of this that there was a serious internal struggle and a never-ending conflict between the younger generation of descendants who were also senior executives of the company. The kids have divided themselves into various factions and the Yaleman family rules and discipline had been on a steady decline ever since.
Lady Yaleman’s descendants and grandchildren all bowed their heads upon hearing favonovel.com words.
“Answer me!”
Lady Yaleman slammed favonovel.com hand on the table angrily and favonovel.com face had already turned purple in anger.
“Mom, don’t get angry!” The eldest son, Yuma spoke up at this time, “As for our family matters, we are also trying to catch up with the Long and Quarrington families. However, when it comes to comprehensive personal connections, the Yaleman family still pales in comparison to those folks!”
“We were not even able to make a bid in the real estate business for the three big families. This is the biggest reason why both the Long family and the Quarrington family are rapidly overtaking the Yaleman family!” Yuma replied.
“Bidding! Bidding! Since you already know what our weakness is, why didn’t you devote your time and energy to strengthening our family and expanding your network and connections instead? In the past ten years, the Long family and the Quarrington family have been able to gain so many projects precisely because of their ties to the Trustdeck Group. Why can’t we do the same? Did you send anyone to do that?”
Lady Yaleman asked as favonovel.com poked Yuma’s head.
The rest of favonovel.com sons and daughters covered their mouths as they giggled secretly to themselves.
“What are you laughing at?! Why don’t all of you take a good look at yourselves? The older and younger generation are all equally unpromising!”
At this time, Lady Yaleman turned around and glared at Yura who had a bandage over his head.
Lady Yaleman said angrily, “Just take a look at all of you! I doubt that I’ll even be able to make it to my own birthday banquet tomorrow!”
At this time.
The door of the meeting room was pushed open.
A middle-aged servant walked in respectfully.
“Ma’am, the luncheon is ready!”
Lady Yaleman took a deep breath before favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com tone and said, “If there are no other ways, then try to come up with a solution! It is useless for us to only complain about it. Alright then, let’s go and eat our reunion lunch now!”
According to their tradition, they would always eat a reunion meal together after every family meeting.
Everyone exchanged some words with one another before they entered the living room.
When they arrived, they saw a young man and a young woman sitting on the sofa.
“Hmph! Isn’t that Bea? It’s already noon and favonovel.com did not even bother with attending the family meeting! To think that she’d been sitting here the entire time! Oh? It looks like favonovel.com brought a young man here with favonovel.com too! Has favonovel.com gotten herself a boyfriend?”
