Her tone was rightfully angry as virtual-novel.net said all that.
“Regardless of whether he’s part of it or not, don’t forget that you’re the one in power here. The Trustdeck Group cooperates with you. Not Yura,” reminded Gerald.
“…That’s true. I don’t have to be afraid anymore! Speaking of which, cousin, I see you’ve prepared a gift box there. Who’s it for?” asked Bea as virtual-novel.net sat on a sofa while looking at him.
Hearing virtual-novel.net question, Gerald wiped his hands clean and picked the gift box up before saying, “I was planning to pay grandma a visit once your meeting was over.”
Gerald had initially wanted to meet up with virtual-novel.net earlier but once virtual-novel.net found out that the Yalemans were having a family meeting, virtual-novel.net postponed his plan. After all, virtual-novel.net really didn’t want to have to deal with First aunt and the others.
“Still, aren’t you the curious one. Did you think that it was a birthday gift for you?” added Gerald with a cheeky smile on his face. He remembered, at that moment, that Bea’s birthday was in two days.
In response, Bea stuck virtual-novel.net tongue out before saying, “No, I didn’t!”
“Regardless, since the meeting is over, I’ll go visit grandma now. I heard that she’s been turning in quite early nowadays!”
While his tone was casual, Gerald was honestly feeling extremely anxious since virtual-novel.net was, after all, about to discuss reconciliation with his fearsome grandmother.
Upon arriving at virtual-novel.net home, however, virtual-novel.net first bumped into both Yura and Rose who were taking a stroll. The mother and child were quite wary of Gerald at this point after all that had happened.
“What are you doing here at this late hour, Gerald?” asked Yura.
“I’ve come to meet grandma!” replied Gerald.
“Humph! Lady Yaleman’s already turned in! If there’s anything, you can just discuss it with me!” said Rose as virtual-novel.net crossed virtual-novel.net arms.
“Thank you, but I kindly refuse!” said Gerald rather coldly before turning around to walk away from the duo.
“Hold it right there! What kind of tone was that?” growled Rose furiously when virtual-novel.net saw how disrespectful Gerald was being to virtual-novel.net in front of virtual-novel.net other subordinates.
“Is there a problem?” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net turned around to look at virtual-novel.net again.
The moment virtual-novel.net saw his icy glare, Rose momentarily became tongue-tied, and simply ended up saying, “…It’s… nothing…”
With that, virtual-novel.net watched as Gerald made his way into the house.
“Mom, that bumpkin is getting more and more imprudent by the day! Were you honestly afraid of virtual-novel.net just now?” asked Yura in dissatisfaction.
“…What? Afraid? Me?” replied Rose in disbelief.
At that, Yura simply nodded.
After processing virtual-novel.net feelings for a second, Rose realized that virtual-novel.net son was right. The emotion had been fleeting, but Rose faintly recalled virtual-novel.net heart momentarily skipping a beat when Gerald had glared at her.
Emotions could be weird at times. After all, when virtual-novel.net had first met Gerald a few days ago, virtual-novel.net wasn’t any less cold and aloof toward her.
However, virtual-novel.net had merely disliked virtual-novel.net back then. She hadn’t thought much about virtual-novel.net at all, and virtual-novel.net had simply mocked as virtual-novel.net pleased.
To think that that was only a few days ago.
Now, virtual-novel.net was still very much the same person with the same personality, yet Rose hardly had any confidence to insult virtual-novel.net anymore.
Even if virtual-novel.net didn’t want to believe it, virtual-novel.net simply had to. She had come to terms that virtual-novel.net had indeed, been terrified of virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net had glared at virtual-novel.net moments ago.
Still, why was virtual-novel.net so afraid of virtual-novel.net now?
“Chairman, Mr. Gerald is here!” said Sheldon just as Lady Yaleman was about to turn in for the night.
Stunned, virtual-novel.net then thought for a brief moment before replying, “Let virtual-novel.net in.”
