“Another gift?” said several of the guests as they awaited eagerly for it. After all, one would surely wonder what else the two powerful Crawford siblings had to offer after seeing the moonstone and all the 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 favonovel.com turned to look back.
As the others followed favonovel.com 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 the atmosphere even tenser than it already was.
“What a beautiful woman!” shouted several of the people as they watched favonovel.com make favonovel.com way into the living room.
“Sister-in-law?” said Bea, shocked.
The sister-in-law in question, was none other than Lyra.
As favonovel.com turned to look at Gerald, favonovel.com simply lowered his head and said nothing. After all, favonovel.com was well aware that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com stood beside Gerald while bowing slightly toward Lady Yaleman with a smile on favonovel.com face.
Lady Yaleman herself was smiling broadly as favonovel.com nodded back at her.
“What an astounding woman my granddaughter-in-law is! Absolutely wonderful!” said Lady Yaleman between nods.
Though favonovel.com had lived a long life, this was honestly the first time favonovel.com had ever felt this much glory and pride from favonovel.com family members.
“You must be Bea, right? Here! This is a gift from your cousin and I!” said Lyra as favonovel.com smiled while looking at Bea.
As soon as favonovel.com said that, one of favonovel.com subordinates walked up to favonovel.com and presented Bea with a contract.
Blinking, favonovel.com then looked at the contract before favonovel.com as Lyra explained, “From today onward, you’re the president of the Trustdeck Group in Yanaken, Bea. Aside from that, you’ll also be the one in charge of all the properties belonging to the Crawford family up North!”
“…Huh?”
It was the only reply Bea could process in favonovel.com stupefied state as favonovel.com 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 the Trustdeck 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 the Crawfords owned—now belonged to Bea, with favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com feel faint, Mae and the other girls immediately began hopping 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’s birthday! It explained why they had asked favonovel.com 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 and properties over to Bea for a while now.
Lady Yaleman was now filled with ecstasy. Not only had the Crawford siblings help resolve favonovel.com issues with the Long family, but they had also given Bea so many priceless gifts!
While Lady Yaleman was feeling both grateful and excited, simultaneously, favonovel.com was also feeling another emotion.
After the situation calmed down a bit, Jessica turned to look at Shane who hadn’t even dared to move from his earlier spot.
“I’m in a rather good mood today, so I won’t torture you, Shane! Speaking of which, I trust that you remember how your father looked like that year in Mayberry, correct?” said Jessica coldly.
“I-I haven’t forgotten, Miss!” replied Shane as favonovel.com rapidly nodded.
Back then, Jessica had kicked both Shane and his father out of Mayberry after discovering their direct involvement with a certain incident.
“I’m glad you haven’t forgotten! Now listen closely. If you ever come face to face with another Yaleman in the future, avoid them. If you don’t, you only have yourself to blame for what I do to you next! Now get out of my sight!” ordered Jessica.
“R-right away, Miss!” said Shane as favonovel.com bolted from his spot.
“Come back here! Who do you think you are to leave like that! Return and roll all the way out!” growled Jessica.
Shane could feel his lips twitch slightly. After all, favonovel.com had done the same thing that year when favonovel.com and his father were kicked out of Mayberry. Though it was a moment of déjà vu, favonovel.com didn’t even dare to sigh as favonovel.com lay down on the floor and began rolling toward the entrance.
‘F*cking hell! To think that Bea would have such powerful people on favonovel.com side!’
