Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 857
“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 she turned to look back.
As the others followed her 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 her make her way into the living room.
“Sister-in-law?” said Bea, shocked.
The sister-in-law in question, was none other than Lyra.

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 she stood beside Gerald while bowing slightly toward Lady
Yaleman with a smile on her face.
Lady Yaleman herself was smiling broadly as she nodded back at her.
“What an astounding woman my granddaughter-in-law is! Absolutely wonderful!” said Lady Yaleman between nods.
Though she had lived a long life, this was honestly the first time she had ever felt this much glory and pride from
her family members.
“You must be Bea, right? Here! This is a gift from your cousin and I!” said Lyra as she smiled while looking at Bea.
As soon as she said that, one of her subordinates walked up to her and presented Bea with a contract.
Blinking, she then looked at the contract before her 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 her stupefied state as she 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 her 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 her 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 her 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 her 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, she was also feeling another emotion.

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 he 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 he 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, he had done the same thing that year when he and his father were
kicked out of Mayberry. Though it was a moment of déjà vu, he didn’t even dare to sigh as he lay down on the floor
and began rolling toward the entrance.
‘F*cking hell! To think that Bea would have such powerful people on her side!’
