Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 125
”A jade ring!”
“What a filial man you are, Kenneth! The value of this jade ring is worth at least ten to twelve thousand
dollars! Tsk tsktsk!”
Everyone could not help but continue to exclaim in admiration.
After all, it was really very filial of a boyfriend to give his girlfriend’s grandmother a piece of jade ring for
her birthday.
“Alright, alright. Irene, hurry up and ask Kenneth to sit down!”
Her grandmother was so elated upon receiving the ring that she couldn’t even keep her mouth closed
anymore. She couldn’t even bear to put the ring down.
The more she looked at Kenneth, the more she liked him.
Even Irene’s father felt immensely proud at that very moment.
In fact, the reason why everyone gathered here today to celebrate and congratulate the golden lady for
her birthday, wasn’t just merely to show filial piety.
That was just, but a small part.
The larger reason was the fact that the old lady was still holding onto all the assets that were left
behind by the old man when he passed away. There were three sons and two daughters altogether, but

it was this old lady who got to ultimately decide who these assets would be passed down to.
Hence, the extravagance of the birthday banquet every year.
“Grandma, this is my girlfriend, Claire. We would also like to wish you a very happy birthday.”
Kyle wished and was smiling broadly as he handed his gift over to his grandmother.
The old lady couldn’t help but smiled even wider this time.
Next was a young man who was about twenty five or twenty six years old.
He was wearing a blue suit and his hair was brushed sleekly to the back.
He exuded with charisma. Anyone could tell that he looked like one of those successful men at first
impressions.
Mason Smith was his name, and he was Mila’s cousin brother and Irene’s biological brother.
All eyes were fixed on him as he stood out.
Mason was very mature and he had a very stable career. Moreover, he has always been the one with
the strongest ability in the family. He also had the best grades amongst all of the children and
grandchildren in the family.
Not to mention, he was also the future heir of the Smith family.
“Grandma, your grandson wishes you a good and abundant life with good fortune!”
“By the way, grandma, this is my new girlfriend, Queenie!”
Mason quickly introduced.
“Good, good, good. All of you are really giving me big surprises today! I really have to take a good look
at my future daughter-in-law then. Queenie, what are you working as?”
Queenie replied: “Grandma, I now work at BMW. Currently the deputy manager, thanks to Mason!”
“That’s good! Did you meet Mason then when he was buying a car?”
Mason nodded as he said, “Yes, grandma. Didn’t I mention that I bought a BMW sports car some time
ago? Well that was when I met Queenie!”
“I see, alright Queenie. Come. Come and sit here with me.”
His grandmother beckoned.
“Brother, sister-in-law, come and sit down!”
Irene also greeted with a smile.
This pair of siblings really made quite an impression today in the family.
All her children had already wished and given their blessings according to hierarchical order and most
of the grandchildren had also given their blessings to their grandmother. With that, the birthday banquet
should have been ready to commence.
However, the celebrated golden lady of the day seemed to be not ready.
It seemed as though she was still waiting for someone.
She felt as though the celebration was not complete, if this person had not yet come up to wish her.
Who was it?
But of course, it was none other than Mila, the old lady’s most beloved granddaughter!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My second son, where is my granddaughter, Mila?”
The old lady questioned out loud.
Mila’s parents, Gavin and Helen were also present today.
It happened a while ago where Gavin’s company nearly closed down due to his poor business
management and the old lady was extremely furious over that matter.
Unexpectedly in the nick of time, an investment from Mr. Crawford of Mayberry City was the saving
grace that helped to resolve the crisis.
Not only were all of the company’s problems resolved, but the company even skyrocketed to a whole
new level.
This made the old lady very happy.
Because of this, she began to dote Mila even more.
The moment she questioned Mila’s attendance, Irene and Mason’s faces twitched and turned a shade
of grey.
They could only suppress the jealousy that was bursting inside.
“Mila’s waiting for a friend and she will be here soon!”
“Oh? Does Mila have a boyfriend too?”
“Seems like it…”
Gavin replied nonchalantly.
Anyways, Mila had given him a heads up that she would be bringing her boyfriend here today.
