“You silly girl, here you are! I was looking all over for you! I’ve even called you but you didn’t even pick up! You know, your grandma’s so anxious in there yet you-”
Though Catherine was already angry when snazzynovel.com stomped over, the moment snazzynovel.com saw that snazzynovel.com daughter had arranged a table in the backyard, snazzynovel.com became even more infuriated.
“Could you please be a little more sensible, Bea? Haven’t I told you that we’ll celebrate your birthday tonight? How badly do you want to celebrate it for you to host it in the backyard? It’s almost as if you want Rose and snazzynovel.com family to hold something against us!” scolded Catherine in a rage.
She was just about to drag snazzynovel.com daughter away when snazzynovel.com recognized who was sitting at the table.
In snazzynovel.com shock, Catherine let out a squeak before covering snazzynovel.com mouth with snazzynovel.com hands. It was evident that snazzynovel.com knew who everyone at the table was.
“You’re Miss Yaleman’s mother, correct? It’s a pleasure to meet you! We’ve come over to celebrate Miss Yaleman’s birthday!” said a few of the distinguished guests with smiles on their faces.
Though snazzynovel.com thought that snazzynovel.com had heard wrong, the moment snazzynovel.com saw Sheldon there serving them drinks, snazzynovel.com soon realized that they were telling the truth.
“My… My daughter’s birthday? You… came here to celebrate that…?”
Catherine was so excited that snazzynovel.com was honestly at a loss for words. Unable to express herself properly, snazzynovel.com was now intensely rubbing snazzynovel.com hands together!
However, the second snazzynovel.com noticed that Gerald was present as well, snazzynovel.com expression turned stern as snazzynovel.com tugged snazzynovel.com by the ear before shouting, “Stand up already! Don’t you see that I’m here? Get me a seat!”
“Good god!” shouted one of the big shots as everyone important at the scene became stupefied by what they were witnessing.
Clattering and crashes followed next as Chairman Jagger and a few others couldn’t even hold their teacups properly in their shock. Recovering moments later, all the guests at the table stood up in unison, their faces filled with utter fear.
“I-I’m sorry for scaring all of you! P-please sit down!” said Catherine as snazzynovel.com blushed nervously.
As Gerald rubbed on his swollen ear, snazzynovel.com nodded at Chairman Jagger and the others. It was only after Gerald did that, that the other important people dared to return seated.
Bea, on the other hand, immediately tugged at snazzynovel.com mother’s sleeve before whispering something into snazzynovel.com ear.
“…W-what did you say?” said Catherine, an expression of utter shock on snazzynovel.com face.
When snazzynovel.com finally snapped out of it, snazzynovel.com immediately turned to look at Gerald before dragging a chair over to him.
“P-please have a seat, Gerald!”
With a sigh, Gerald then sat down.
Back inside the living room, Yura—who had been keeping his grandmother company this entire time—was standing beside Lady Yaleman as a few people waited in line to serve snazzynovel.com tea.
Lady Yaleman herself had been delighted for most of the day. After all, it had been so long since the Yaleman family had experienced such liveliness and prosperity.
Once the tea serving ceremony was over, however, Lady Yaleman’s face turned slightly dull.
“Is the party not going to commence soon? Where is Bea? Why hasn’t snazzynovel.com mother brought snazzynovel.com back yet? Sheldon!” shouted the grandmother.
“The butler isn’t here, grandma,” said Yura.
“Humph! Imprudent! How unruly!” said Lady Yaleman angrily as snazzynovel.com sent a teacup flying off the table. The sound of shattering was quick to follow.
“I’ve already told you that Bea was only lucky back then, mom… She simply isn’t that capable. However, you refused to believe me, thinking that I was only jealous of snazzynovel.com contributions. Yet look at how things are going now… Wasn’t I right?” said Rose.
“Indeed! You know, I saw that snazzynovel.com had invited a few of snazzynovel.com ex-classmates earlier. That was also the last I ever saw of them. Since snazzynovel.com hasn’t shown up since then, at this point, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that she’s gone out with them to have fun somewhere. She barely even cares about the major affairs of the family! We’re lucky that all the distinguished guests here today aren’t too bothered about snazzynovel.com absence. Think about it. If a rumor stating that the Yaleman family treats our guests with cold shoulders comes to be, then everything we’ve done today would’ve been for naught!” added Yura.
“Well, since she’s now the head of the Yaleman family after gaining us all those projects, I say it’s fine that snazzynovel.com acts recklessly every once in a while. Still, to think that we’ll be relying on snazzynovel.com in the future!” said Ysabel, clearly adding fuel to the fire.
“Humph! And who was it that gave snazzynovel.com the position of family head? I’m not dead yet! That girl is truly too unruly to be left in charge of our family’s future! Like mother, like daughter! Once this party’s over, she’ll no longer be in charge of any of the projects! She’ll just have to work at the company!” said Lady Yaleman angrily.
Hearing that, both Rose and Yura exchanged glances with each other as they smiled wickedly.
