Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 856
There was a rather bitter smile on Gerald’s face as he said that.
“Hmm? Why’s Shane back inside?”
Before anyone could even react to that statement, a scream of shock echoed through the hall.
It wasn’t long after before everyone saw Shane and his subordinates retreating back into the living room, and for
good reason too.
A powerful-looking woman made her appearance seconds later, and following behind her, was a group of
extremely intimidating men who all appeared to be equally strong.
‘Who… Who could this possibly be…?’ Lady Yaleman thought to herself as the corners of her lips twitched.
Bea, on the other hand, was full of awe and astonishment as she looked at the young and beautiful woman. After
all, she had witnessed with her very own eyes how Shane had retreated in fear within that woman’s presence.

at the terrified man.
“I-It has, miss! It’s truly been forever!” stuttered Shane, his face dripping with cold sweat.
“President Crawford!” greeted Chairman Jagger and the others as they bowed respectfully toward her.
“P-President Crawford…?”
Seeing that all the big shots were bowing toward the young lady, Lady Yaleman bowed slightly herself. She wasn’t
against doing so since the new woman truly felt extraordinarily powerful and imposing.
“Grandma!” shouted Bea as she began moving toward her. However, Gerald stuck an arm out, a sign for her to
remain standing by his side.
“W-who is she, cousin?” asked Bea nervously as her adorable face blushed.
Smiling, he then patted her on the head before looking toward the woman and saying, “Sister, this here is our
cousin! She goes by the name of Bea!”
“…Sister? …Huh? She’s my other cousin… Jessica?” said Bea as she covered her mouth in excitement. After all, she
had never known what either of her cousins looked like for the longest time. Today, she was finally able to see what
Jessica looked like as well!
“Well hello there, Bea! What a pretty little dear you are!” said Jessica as she walked toward Bea and held on to her
hands.
“Jessica?” said Lady Yaleman, her eyes opened wider than ever.
‘Could… Could she truly be my granddaughter…?’
“While it’s our first time meeting today, I’m afraid that my gift isn’t anything special, Bea… I do hope that my
humble present will be to your liking…” said Jessica.
As soon as her sentence ended, one of her subordinates immediately walked toward Bea and held out a box.
The moment Bea opened the box, an extremely valuable object was revealed, and its resplendence sent waves of
awe among those who saw it.
“That… That’s the legendary moonstone, isn’t it?! Oh my god!” shouted someone from within the crowd, unable to
hold their astonishment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile many of the guests were astonished, many others—like Mae and the girls—were left extremely jealous.
So it turned out that Gerald and his family were this powerful! To think that they hadn’t even asked for his Line
contact information! Thinking about it now, Mae and the others were filled with remorse.
“Go on Bea! It’s a gift from your cousin! Take it already!” squealed Catherine in sheer delight.
Rose, Yura, Ysabel, and many others were left absolutely stupefied by the turn of events.
Once the moonstone was taken, Jessica looked toward Lady Yaleman before greeting her in a soft voice.
“T-the pleasure is mine!” said Lady Yaleman excitedly as she nodded toward Jessica.
It took her a while to notice, but she realized at that moment how different Jessica and Gerald were.
After all, though she had already seen much at her age, she was surprised at how nervous she could still get when
facing somebody like Jessica.
Upon hearing what Lady Yaleman had to say, Jessica turned around and scanned through the crowd. Nobody dared
to even look into her eyes, and all of the guests found themselves lowering their gazes.
At long last, her gaze fell on Bea once more.
She then smiled before saying, “Bea, if you haven’t heard, Gerald and I prepared three gifts for you! Since both of
us have already given one each, we’ll now present the third and final gift!”
