Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 836
“Hmm? But what she said made sense too. A young master from a top-tier family would never be cumbersome in
doing things and they would never make their intentions direct and clear either. There was a real possibility that Mr.
Crawford had indeed fallen for one of the young ladies from the Yaleman family!”
“Ysabel, you’ve just started working with the company recently after studying abroad for years. I believe you have
met a lot of people and participated in many different events and occasions, yes? Do you remember encountering
any such powerful and formidable young masters?”
Lady Yaleman asked. After all, she was perfectly aware of how eye-catching Ysabel was. Yeah, Bea was on par with
her beauty but she was rarely exposed to grander events and the outside world compared to Ysabel.
Ysabel took a moment to think about her experience before she replied, “I think so, grandma!”
“Well, if that’s the case, then we’ll count it as a blessing for the Yaleman family! Ysabel, if there is anything that you
want or need in the future, do not hesitate to ask grandma for it!” Lady Yaleman said.
“Thank you, grandma!” Ysabel replied excitedly.
These words foreshadowed the possibility that Ysabel would be able to secure a high position for herself in the

Grandma held Ysabel’s hand as they returned to the mansion.
It was around this time that Yuma suddenly received a phone call.
“What did you just say? Can you repeat yourself one more time?”
The expression on Yuma’s face changed immediately.
After hanging up, it seemed as though all color had been drained from Yuma’s face instantly.
“Mom!”
Yuma was a little perplexed and he was in a state of utter stupefaction as he approached Lady Yaleman.
“What’s wrong?”
“Something happened to the company!”
“What happened?”
The expression on Lady Yaleman’s face changed immediately.
Yuma gulped nervously and said, “For the past couple of days, the company’s supply chain had been under strain,
so I followed my usual procedure of applying for a loan with the bank. My subordinate just called to say that
something’s gone wrong with the loan! The bank has just rejected our loan application!”
“What?”
Lady Yaleman really did not expect things to turn south so fast.
“What did you use as collateral?” Lady Yaleman asked.
“I put up the existing land that the Yaleman family was going to use for our project. I have always done the same
thing and it would always end up with success. But the bank just informed us that they won’t be releasing the land
back to us anymore! We’ve tried to negotiate but nothing’s moving forward!”
“It must be the Long family! It has to be the Long family!”
Yuma said with a pale look on his face.
Turns out, the guarantor Yuma had relied on was the Long family. To be exact, it was one of the more senior
members of the family who had personally approached him to talk about the loan.
He was completely oblivious to the fact that he had walked right into a trap they’d set up just for him.
They were also interested in that piece of land after all.
Yuma’s realization came about a tad bit too late.
Lady Yaleman was so infuriated that she slapped Yuma viciously across his face.
The Long family had always been a long-standing rival of the Yaleman family. However, Yuma had been blinded by
his lust for money, that he was willing to court the risk of collaborating with his enemies.
Considering how powerful and influential the Long family was, they were able to manipulate the bank’s choice with

“You, you…are you trying to piss me off as much as you can?!”
Lady Yaleman said as she waved the walking stick in her hand.
“Mom, what are we going to do now? We are already halfway through our project now. Is the Long family trying to
take advantage of all our preparations?”
Yuma asked with a dejected expression.
Slap!
“You useless little thing! Don’t ask me that!”
Lady Yaleman was so angry that she didn’t hesitate to slap Yuma the second time. She was so angry that she had
lost all steam to proceed with her birthday celebration. Fuming from the ears, she stormed off into the building!
…
“Bea, are you okay?”
Bea cried as she ran all the way home.
Gerald followed her back.
Bea ran straight into the fifth uncle’s room. She held his hand as she sobbed away…
