Chapter 182: Chapter 182

Chapter 182 Return to Los Angeles Gerald returned to Valery’s residence. In the room, Carolyn was sitting on the sofa watching TV. In front of her, there were a lot of snacks!

“Did you skip work again?” Carolyn asked with a smile.

After that, she saw that Gerald’s expression didn’t look good. She quickly sat up and asked, “Did something happen?”

Valery and Macy walked out of the rooms. Valery asked, “What is it?”

“Audrey went missing yesterday. I have to go to Los Angeles,” Gerald said.

“Will you take the knife?” Valery asked.

“I will take a civil aviation flight. I definitely can’t carry a knife.” Gerald said. “Keep an eye on Ingrid. I will find Audrey as soon as possible and then come back. Now that Blaine is still here, Ingrid should be safe.”

Valery frowned and said, “Okay, then you should be careful of your safety.”

They were not too worried about Gerald’s safety. Although he would not bring the knife with him, the other side did not know Gerald’s identity. Unless Franklin came personally, there should be no big problem for Gerald.

Carolyn said, “I will go with you!”

Gerald shook his head. “I’ll go alone. Your injuries haven’t completely recovered yet. You should take the chance to recuperate first!”

Carolyn nodded.

Gerald said a few words to the others, then left. He booked a plane ticket online, and Valery offered to drive Gerald to the airport.

Two hours later, at the airport in Los Angeles.

Gerald walked out of the airport in a light outfit.

When he returned to Los Angeles again, he did not have special feelings in his heart.

Los Angeles was the city where he had stayed the longest in his life apart from Sacramento.

It was just that in this city, he did not have many beautiful memories.

He had come to Los Angeles to carry out a mission, but that mission ended in tragedy. His good friend, the former Watchman No. 7, Terry, died here!

As for Gerald, he lost his memory and it lasted three years. He became a matrilocal son–in–law and had been IN–treated by his mother–in–law and wife for three whole years.

The once–great Watchman No. O actually became a laborer!

Gerald sighed. He got into a taxi and said, “To Forever Group!”

Forever Group was the headquarters of Bradley’s company. Gerald would meet Bradley here.

Just as he got into the taxi, his cell phone rang. It was from Bradley.

“Hello!” Gerald picked up the phone and asked, “Is there any news?”

Bradley nodded and said, “Someone contacted me just now. The person said that Audrey was in his hands.

He wants a bone I have.”

“What? Did he say a bone?” Gerald frowned slightly.

“Yes, a bone!” Bradley said, “My family does have such a bone. It was passed down from my ancestors. It is said that it can bless our family with fortune. It is called Dragon Bone. When it comes to my generation, it has been passed on to me.”

“Did he say where you would meet?” Gerald asked.

“He told me to wait for his call.” Bradley said, “He also said that he knew I know Night Watch and told me not to contact them.”

Gerald nodded and said, “I see. Let’s hang up first. I will tell you in detail when I arrive at your company.”

Bradley nodded.

Half an hour later, Gerald arrived at Bradley’s company. Gerald had not been away from Los Angeles for a long time. Previously, as Audrey’s assistant, he had worked here for a period of time. Obviously, Bradley had informed the receptionist about his coming. When he walked in, the receptionist took the initiative to swipe the card and let him pass.

Gerald walked to the elevator with ease. Just as he stood there, his eyebrows moved slightly.

At the elevator entrance, Irene stood there charmingly. She was talking and laughing with a young man.

They stood there and did not notice Gerald’s arrival.

Gerald did not say anything. He stood behind the two and waited for the elevator.

“Irene, are you free tonight?” the young man asked politely.

Gerald’s expression changed slightly.

Irene was a beautiful woman. It had only been a few months since she came to this company, but there were already many pursuers around her.

“Sorry, I don’t have time tonight,” Irene said calmly.

“Irene, I know Mr. Tovey is also pursuing you, but what’s good about him? Isn’t his salary just a little higher than mine? I just entered the company not long ago...” the young man said.

Irene looked at him indifferently, then calmly said, “Alright, stop. The elevator has arrived!”

The young man’s expression slightly changed. As he watched Irene walk into the elevator, a bitter smile appeared on his face.

Beside him, Gerald chuckled in his heart.

He thought, Irene hasn’t changed at all!

She first married Gerald. Then they divorced. After she got divorced, she regretted it several times. After all this, she still wanted to find a rich husband and live a better life.

Maybe because of Gerald’s rise later, she might have become pickier about men than before.

Irene walked into the elevator, holding the document. She casually turned her head.

However, the moment she turned around, she was stunned. Her eyes widened slightly and she looked at Gerald in shock.

Gerald touched his nose and calmly walked into the elevator. Then, he pressed the number of the top floor!

Irene opened her mouth but did not speak.

They had once been married for three years, but they did not love each other.

“Did you ... come back to see me?” Irene said after a while.

The young man thought Irene was talking to him. Just as he was about to say something, Gerald said lightly, “No. I have something to deal with here. You mind your own work.”

Irene gritted her teeth and fell into silence again.

Soon, Irene arrived at the floor. She pursed her lips and said, “I am now working very hard. Since you are also in Los Angeles, let’s have dinner tonight! I will ask my mom to come over!”

The eyes of the young man who was pursuing Irene popped out..

He wanted to date Irene, yet he never succeeded in inviting Irene for dinner. Now Irene actually took the initiative to ask Gerald out and even brought her mother along!

Regarding Irene’s marriage, since she worked here, naturally she would not explain it to anyone. This would affect her finding a new husband.

In fact, Irene agreed to come here to work because the salary of Forever Group was good and there were many rich people. She knew that she could not get Gerald or his property. If she could find a rich husband in Forever Group, it would be a good choice.

Therefore, she would not tell anyone about her love history.

After saying that, Irene raised her head and looked at Gerald with expectation in her eyes.

Gerald’s eyes were calm. He said lightly, “No need. You have arrived at your floor. Are you not going out?”

Irene silently sighed in her heart. She knew that Gerald really did not have any feelings for her.

Thinking about how Gerald bore all the hardships without complaining in the three years of their marriage and Gerald’s current attitude, she had too many regrets in her heart!

After getting off the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed. She turned around, and there was some mist in her eyes. She did not know whether it was because of regret or unwillingness!

Gerald naturally did not care about her thoughts. He did not expect to meet Irene here.

Soon, the elevator reached the top floor, and he went straight to Bradley’s office.
