Chapter 835
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 835
There were still a lot more unopened gift boxes.
This made everyone in the Yaleman family, including Lady Yaleman herself, feel very bedazzled.
It would not have been an exaggeration to describe each and every one of these gifts as a rare treasure.
Every single gift had its own story to tell and all had incredibly rich histories. They were all simply invaluable!
Lady Yaleman was filled with excitement.
At the ripe old age of 80, she had obviously been around for quite a while, but never in her life had she ever witnessed such a grand scene before!
âLady Yaleman, this is the list of gifts presented today. Please take a look at it!â
The young man leading the troupe of butlers handed a list over to Lady Yaleman in a respectful manner.
âNo, no need for that! I donât need to look at it anymore! Please thank Mr. Crawford for all these gifts.
However, you must tell him that these gifts are really too expensive! By the way, I donât think that Iâve ever met this Mr. Crawford that youâre talking about before. Can you tell me who your master is?â Lady Yaleman asked with a smile.
The cold atmosphere that enveloped the scene melted away in an instant.
âLady Yaleman, if there is nothing else, then weâll be leaving now! Now if youâll excuse us.â
It was obvious that these people were told to keep their mouths sealed.
âWhy donât you stay back for a drink?â Lady Yaleman asked.
âI appreciate your generous offer, but I really canât! Iâm sorry.â
As soon as the young man bid them farewell, the rest of his colleagues climbed aboard the cars and left immediately.
âGod, can it be anymore lavish than that!?â
The bodyguards and entourage were all so calm and disciplined! Just who are the Crawfords and what sort of family were they?â
The members of the Yaleman family were all taken aback.
âMom? Mr. Crawford from the Crawford family? I donât think weâve ever met him before. Why are they giving us such expensive gifts? A rough estimate places these gifts at close to a hundred and fifty million dollars!â
Yuma was so excited that his hands were trembling uncontrollably.
âYeah, they sure as hell look like they cost that much! Mr. Crawford from the Crawford family, a real generous fella ainât he!? But isnât it odd that weâve never met them before? Iâve been around for so long and yet I have never heard of such a family before. Maybe theyâre one of the juniorsâ classmates?â
Lady Yaleman said in disbelief.
Astonished, all of the juniors exchanged glances with one another.
Even the best of classmates would never be willing to present birthday gifts worth more than one hundred and fifty million dollars! What Lady Yaleman said sounded simply a little too far-fetched.
âMom, you donât need to worry that much about this. If theyâre willing to provide such extravagant gifts, theyâre yours no matter what! If you sell any one of these items, youâll undoubtedly be able to resolve the financial crisis our familyâs facing right now!â
Rose said with a sparkle in her eyes.
âShut up! Stop blabbering such nonsense! These are gifts the Crawford family has generously decided to present to me. Who gave you the courage to even make such an outrageous suggestion? No one is allowed to touch them before I ascertain the true identity of this Mr. Crawford. If anyone dares to lay their hands on any one of these gifts, I will kick him or her out of the family, no questions asked!â Lady Yaleman replied.
At the same time, Lady Yaleman was staring intensely at the convoy that was driving into the horizon.
âMom, what are you looking at?â
Yuma came forward and asked when he realized that he would not be able to get his hands on any of his motherâs birthday gifts, for now at least.
âI am looking at those people who got out of the cars just now. Yuma, did you see how well-trained and disciplined those men were? Theyâre not the subordinates of your run-of-the-mill rich family, thatâs for sure! Maybe theyâre working for one of the top families around here!â
âIn other words, we have to figure out the identity of this Mr. Crawford as soon as possible so that we can get in touch with him and ask him to help us to get through this ordeal!â
Lady Yaleman said in foresight.
âUnderstood, mom!â
âHmm. There is actually another possibility!â
The second aunt suddenly chimed in.
âHmm? What could it be?â
âPerhaps Mr. Crawford fancies and is interested in one of the young ladies in the Yaleman family?
Maybe heâs giving us all these gifts now as a lead-up to his marriage proposal in the future?â
The second aunt said with a cunning smile.
Among all of them, Ysabel, the second auntâs daughter was the most beautiful girl with the most outstanding temperament.
She was simply trying to tell everyone else that the wealthy Mr. Crawford might very likely be interested in her own daughter.
âHahaha! You are really thinking too much!â
Rose became unhappy as soon as she heard this.
After all, her son, Yura was supposed to be the future heir of the family.
Why, if she isnât spewing all this bullcrap just to try and get in good graces with Lady Yaleman!
They might work together as a team when the situation called for it, in the end, it was personal interests that reigned above all. Thus, it was inevitable for their goals to diverge.
