Chapter 241 Are They Going to Attack?
Brandon was stunned. He looked at Ingrid and then said, “Ingrid, I have been working for the Maddox
family for many years. I have been in charge of many projects. I have contributed a lot to your family.
Now you are firing me for this tiny bit of investment of Wisdom Group, for these two guys from Wisdom
Group? Are you crazy?”
Ingrid glanced at him indifferently and then said to Gerald, “Gerald, I am sorry. Don’t take it personally.”
When Brandon saw Ingrid apologize to Gerald, he was pissed off.
At the same time, Eddie walked over and asked, “What happened?”
Seeing Eddie, Brandon immediately said, “Eddie, you must do me justice. Ms. Maddox is going to fire
me for the sake of the Wisdom Group. That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”
Hearing so, Eddie frowned. Then he said to Brandon, “Now pack up your stuff and get lost!”
Gerald was now responsible for Ingrid’s safety. How could they let Gerald go?
Moreover, Eddie knew very well about Gerald. When he heard that Brandon was blaming Gerald, he
was enraged.
“Me!” Brandon was stunned to see Eddie angry.
As an old employee of the Maddox family, he knew Eddie’s status in the Maddox family.
“Get lost!” Eddie roared. He was not as negotiable as Ingrid.
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, don’t take it personally.”
“It’s fine.” Gerald waved his hand and said, “Now since it is settled, it’s alright. Catherine, go on
communicating with them.”
Catherine nodded!
Gerald walked towards Ingrid’s office without looking at Brandon.
Ingrid did not leave immediately. She arranged some specific punishments for Brandon. On the other
hand, Leana followed Gerald. After returning to the office, she opened the door and looked at Gerald
with hatred. She said, “You are Watchman No. 0. Is it fun bullying ordinary people?”
“If you think this is me bullying him, then I have nothing to say. He was slandering me.” Gerald
shrugged his shoulders and said, “And I didn’t say anything else than point out his problem.”
Leana curled her lips and said, “But this also serves him right. Ingrid had blamed him before, saying
that he was not doing his work just because he thought he was an old employee.”
After that, she walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked at Gerald and asked, “Are you sure you
are not letting me join the Night Watch? I am at the top level. I can join your team. And I will…”
“Stop.” Gerald waved his hand and said, “I won’t agree with this matter. Moreover… There are a lot of
top–level watchmen on my team. You will be a burden if you are in!”
Leana was speechless.
“Don’t lie to me. I am at the top level. According to my understanding of Night Watch, there are not that
many top–level Watchmen,” Leana mumbled, “And when they appear, all teams want them.”
“Sorry, there are a lot of them on my team. I mean it,” Gerald shrugged and said.
Indeed, the surviving members of Team 11762 were all at the top level. They would be considered top
even compared with the entire Night Watch.
Leana had reached the top level not long ago. That was not very special.
“I don’t believe it!” Leana did not believe Gerald’s words at all.
Gerald didn’t bother himself to explain. When Leana saw Gerald’s reaction, she sat down and
sulked!
The morning passed quietly. At noon, Gerald greeted Catherine and told her that someone invited
him for lunch so she’d have to eat alone.
Catherine, Leana, and Ingrid were basically from two different worlds. They did not have much
interaction. It would be awkward to bring her to lunch.
After leaving the company, Leana asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Ingrid grinned and said, “Leana thought that only a fancy restaurant could match your identity. I
told Mr. Audley that I’d be back at the company later in the afternoon. So… Let’s go to Harmony
Restaurant!”
Gerald asked in surprise, “Harmony Restaurant? Is it very good?”
“It is similar to Splendor Restaurant in Sacramento. It is the best restaurant in Washington. We have to
go there quickly. Otherwise, we won’t be able to get a table,” Ingrid said.
“Do they dare to ask you to wait, Ms. Maddox?” Leana curled her lips and said.
Leana was driving and Gerald was sitting in the back. The car was slowly moving forward.
“Huh?” Not long after, Gerald noticed that a car was following behind, which was also driving out of the
company!
In the beginning, Gerald did not care. It was lunchtime after all. People needed to eat.
However, after a while, he found that the car was still following them from a distance.
In front of him, Ingrid and Leana seemed to have not noticed it at all. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Although both of them were skilled, they didn’t learn anti–reconnaissance. It was normal for them not to
know anything!
Did the people of Blood Lotus hide in their company? Gerald touched his nose and said to himself,
that’s not a bad thing if we can handle Saul smoothly!
At the same time, an employee of Ingrid’s studio was driving behind them while making a call!
“Hello!” Soon, a voice came from the other side of the line.
“Hello, boss!” The employee said, “Ingrid has gone out. Eddie is not with her.”
“Really?” An excited voice sounded from the other side of the line. Then, he said, “No, ever since
Night Watch informed the Maddox family, Eddie seldom left Ingrid. Why is she suddenly alone? Is it
a trap?”
“I don’t think so,” Ingrid’s employee said. “She is with Mr. Jackson’s daughter, whose name is
Leana. She is at the top level and is quite famous in Washington. In addition, there is also a person
from Wisdom Group, who is working with Ingrid’s company. He looks like an ordinary employee.”
“Ordinary employee?” On the other side of the line, the excited voice said, “Are you sure?”
“It should be!” Ingrid’s employee repeated.
“Well, no matter what, Eddie is not with them. It’s a chance. Go on watching them and see where they
go. Then send me the address. I am calling on people right away!” said the person on the phone.
At the same time, on the other hand, Gerald was texting Valery and other people, smiling.
“I think Blood Lotus and Dark Phantom are going to attack Ingrid.” Gerald typed: “She, Leana, and I are
now heading to Harmony Restaurant. Leana invited me to lunch and Ingrid is also with us.”
Valery quickly replied: “Noon? Are you sure they will attack at noon?”
“I’m not sure!” Gerald typed indifferently: “So you don’t have to make things too complicated. If they are
to do it at noon, they can’t have enough people. I guess they would send out a few top levels. Or, Saul
could come in person! How about this? You come to Harmony Restaurant, bring Carolyn. With the
three of us, even if Saul comes personally, he can’t do anything.”
Valery nodded and replied: “Airight, we will be there at once!”
Just as Gerald was texting, Ingrid, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could not help but turn her
head and say, “Gerald, what are you doing? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you texting girls?”
This little girl seemed to have no sense of crisis at all. Gerald smiled and said, “Nothing. I was bored,
so I checked my phone.”
At the same time, he was constantly looking backward. That car was still following them closely.
