Rose says.
“Hmph! He can leave if he wants to! Get out of your mind!" Lady Yaleman responded coldly.
He then turned to look at the scene of the banquet.
"What the hell is going on? There were so many honored guests at my birthday party last year around this time. Where did they all go this year?”
Lady Yaleman suddenly realized something was wrong.
Yuma replied, “Yes, it feels a bit strange. Why are there so few guests here today? I mean, didn't I personally invite them here to the banquet?”
On Lady Yaleman's face was a sour expression.
He beckoned his butler, Sheldon, to step forward.
He asked her about the low participation rate for guests they invited specifically to the event.
Sheldon replied, “Nona Yaleman, I'm sorry, but I also don't know why this happened. Many honored guests and partners we invited suddenly called to say that something had happened and they could not be present here anymore. They just asked me to congratulate you on their behalf! As of now, there are more than thirty chairmen from various companies calling us to inform us of their absence!”
"What?"
Lady Yaleman explodes furiously, “Hmph! I understand now. They must have planned this together! Looks like our family is really on the decline now! If it were a few decades ago, this place would be crowded every time the Yaleman family held an event. But now, people did not even bother to attend the event, even after we personally sent them an invitation!”
Yuma and the others remained silent.
“Yuma, have you got the project I requested from you? Or do we come back empty-handed?” ask Mrs Yaleman.
“Our capital roundup is the main issue at the moment. Mom, I've been working on it as fast as I can. I will find a solution to the supply chain problem before tomorrow ends. After that, I will try to get a profitable project!” answer Yuma.
“Yes God, our house no longer feels like a decent home, and the same thing happened to our bloody business!? Are we really going to be left out of the Long and Quarrington families like this?” Lady Yaleman said sadly.
Suddenly.
The butler suddenly rushed into the mansion from the main entrance.
"Mom! Ma!"
"What's going on, Sheldon?" ask Mrs Yaleman.
“You ... You have to hurry and get out to see it. There's a convoy outside with a present for you!”
Sheldon said and he looked very nervous.
"Huh?"
Madam Yaleman was surprised.
Sheldon would never overreact if it was a regular gift from an ordinary guest.
Lady Yaleman was momentarily shocked.
So, he got up from his seat and followed Sheldon out of the house.
Yuma, Rose, and the others also followed behind them out of curiosity.
When they finally came out of the mansion, they saw more than a dozen Rolls-Royce Phantoms outside the door. This vehicle costs at least three million pop dollars.
A team of black-clothed bodyguards stood in line.
Each of them held a gift box in their hands.
"Trs. Crawford of the Crawford family sends this gift to you, Lady Yaleman! The Crawford family wishes you a happy birthday!”
The leader of the guards finally spoke up.
Lady Yaleman and the others were all dumbfounded and at a loss for words.
Presentation of the prize could not be more interesting than this!
A few seconds later, the first bodyguard opened the gift box in his hand.
"Ginseng is a thousand years old!"
"What's? Thousand year old ginseng?”
Everyone is surprised.
“Ancient white marble pan!”
"What?"
Lady Yaleman seemed moved by the gift she saw.
Yuma and Rose on the other hand could only gulp nervously.
“Authentic Henri Matisse painting!”
The third gift box is the next one to open.
“Authentic Henri Matisse painting ?!”
Everyone was swarming around the butler.
"Trs. Crawford of the Crawford family? Who her? How could he possibly be so generous and wasteful?”
