Chapter 227 Flory Comes
Gerald could not accompany Catherine to do everything. He still had to go to Ingrid’s studio as soon as
possible.
Experts like Saul and Dax were also in Washington. Ingrid would be safe at home during the
weekend, but now it was time for work. If Saul and Dax were crazy, they might rush to the studio to
take her away.
It was not difficult for those experts to take a person away without being discovered.
Gerald drove and soon arrived at the door of the studio.
Fortunately, the studio looked safe. After Gerald parked the car, he walked into Ingrid’s studio.
Not long after entering, Gerald found Eddie sitting there. After Eddie saw Gerald, he didn’t show his
disdain anymore. Instead, he stood up and bowed politely to Gerald.
Gerald nodded slightly.
Gerald did not approve of some of Eddie’s actions, such as Eddie stopping Ingrid from making
friends, but in terms of protecting Ingrid, they had to cooperate, so Gerald did not want to argue
with him.
After greeting him, Gerald walked towards Ingrid’s office. Just as Gerald approached, he heard a
sound.
“Didn’t you say that Gerald would come here? You lied to me!” Daphne’s voice came from the office.
“Look at you. You like Gerald, don’t you? But he’s much older than you,” Ingrid said.
“Bullshit! Don’t talk nonsense!” Daphne denied it hurriedly.
“Shy?” Ingrid said happily. “But I don’t know what is going on. Let me call him and ask.”
“No, Gerald and I are just ordinary friends. Ingrid, you’ve thought too much.” Daphne lifted her short
hair and glared at Ingrid.
At this time, Gerald coughed and walked towards the door, knocking on the door.
“Well, here he comes. The person you have been missing all day and night is now at the door,” Ingrid
smiled.
Daphne turned around and saw Gerald at the door. Her face suddenly blushed, and then she said
hurriedly, “Gerald, don’t listen to Ingrid’s nonsense. I haven’t met you for a long time, so I just came and Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
wanted to see you.”
Gerald smiled and said, “It’s reasonable even if you miss me. After all, I am such an excellent
person.”
Gerald’s shameless words suddenly relieved the embarrassing atmosphere.
“Bah!”
Ingrid and Daphne said almost at the same time.
“By the way, Keira has also come to Washington,” Ingrid said. “She was transferred to Washington by
New Bank. She came here on the same flight as me last night.”
Gerald was slightly surprised and said, “Why didn’t she mention it to me? She didn’t even send a
message.‘
“Didn’t she tell you?” Daphne asked in surprise.
Gerald shook his head and said, “Forget it. I will call her later and ask her about it.”
“Why are you so late today? By the way, where is the beauty who has been with you all the time?”
Ingrid asked.
“Something happened to her family, and she is still busy now. She will come in the afternoon.”
“Since Daphne is here in Washington, you should treat us to a meal. Gerald, is that okay?” Ingrid
showed a smile and looked at Gerald with a teasing look.
“No problem! Do you want to have a meal at noon or night?” Gerald asked.
“At noon!” Daphne said. “I have to go to my father’s at night.”
Suddenly, Daphne sighed and said, “My parents are in a conflict again. This time my mother also
came. She intends to return Goldsun Group to my father.”
Gerald was slightly surprised in his heart, but this was Daphne’s family matter. If Daphne or Jessica
didn’t take the initiative to ask Gerald for help, he wouldn’t intervene in it.
“Alright, let’s go eat at noon!” Gerald said with a smile.
At the same time, there were few customers on a rural farm in Washington, perhaps because it was
Monday. It was very quiet. On a lawn outside the farm, Dax was lying on a chair. He was playing with a
playing card in his hands.
All of a sudden, he picked up a card and flicked it.
At that moment, the card shot out like a sharp blade, straight out of the farmhouse!
Outside the door, there seemed to be the sound of a knife being pulled out.
Then, the playing card was thrown back. Dax stretched out two fingers and caught the playing card. At
the same time, he raised his right hand slightly. In the blink of an eye, there were seven or eight

playing cards among his fingers!
“Stop. I can’t hold on any longer.” A voice appeared. Then Saul, who was wearing a windbreaker with a
scar on his face, walked out from behind the door. A flattering smile appeared on his face as he said,
“I’m not here to monitor you. I’m here to discuss something with you.”
“There’s a main door here!” Dax said with a hoarse voice as he pointed to the door.
“It’s one of my occupational habits. I’m used to hiding and sneaking in,” Saul said in embarrassment.
“What? Have you dealt with Ingrid?” Dax asked.
“No!” Saul shook his head and said.
“Then why are you here?” Dax asked, shaking the cards in his hand.
“Eddie never leaves Ingrid all day long. There is a terrible old man in the Maddox family, and I don’t
even dare to go in and take her away. The Watchman is hidden in the dark. I don’t dare to act rashly. I
should confirm who the person sent by Night Watch is first,” Saul said.
“Then what are you doing here?” Dax said indifferently. Then, his expression changed slightly as he
said, “Come out!”
“Well, you do deserve to be the seventh on the Sun List.” At that moment, a person dressed in a suit
and leather shoes walked in from the entrance. He had blonde hair and green eyes, and there was a
noble aura from him!
“The Dempsey family?” Dax raised his eyebrows and asked, “To have such a hidden ability, you should
be Flory Dempsey!”
“It is my honor to be known by you,” Flory said. “I’m here to say hello to you on behalf of my
grandfather.”
“Just get to the point!” Dax said calmly.
“You know that I came this time to investigate the death of my brother. According to the evidence of Mr.
Brough, this matter was done by the former Watchman No. 0, who used to be ranked first on the Moon
List. His strength was infinitely close to the super level. After three years, no one knows whether he has
advanced. Since it is cooperation, I hope that after I find out who Watchman No. 0 is,
you can help us,” Flory said.
Dax touched his chin and said, “It’s quite easy to find him. I have his phone number, and he also wants
to kill me. As long as I tell him my address, he will come!”
“Really?” Saul’s and Flory’s eyes lit up.
Saul said excitedly, “Since that’s the case, why don’t we set a trap and kill this person directly?
Because of this person, Franklin doesn’t even dare to appear…”
Flory nodded excitedly and said, “I think it is feasible!”
“Why?” Dax asked in his hoarse voice as he played the cards.
“What?” Both of them looked at Dax in confusion.
Dax smiled and said, “The premise of my cooperation with you is that I need you to help me get the
bone of the Maddox family. Now that I haven’t got the bone, why should I cooperate with you?”
As Dax spoke, he looked at Flory and said, “Of course, if you need it, I can give you his phone number.
I know your grandfather is afraid that the matter three years ago will be exposed! Unfortunately, even if
I gave you the phone number, you wouldn’t dare to call him, right?”
Flory’s face turned gloomy!
“The premise of this cooperation is that I get the bone first, otherwise, I won’t agree with you. If you
can’t get the bone, you are not qualified to cooperate with me!” Dax held the playing cards and
continued to lie on the chair. “You can leave now!”
