Chapter 209 Two Calls The next day was the weekend. Gerald did not need to go to the company. However, it would be difficult for Dark Phantom and Blood Lotus to enter the Maddox family and kidnap Ingrid if Ingrid didnât come out.
After all, the Maddox family was also powerful, with many Watchmen guarding them.
Therefore, Gerald could have a peaceful rest on the weekend.
Gerald slept until around ten oâclock in the morning before he was kicked off the sofa by Valery.
âWhat are you doing?â Gerald got up from the ground and said.
âItâs already ten oâclock! And youâre still sleeping. Gerald, I find that youâve been slacking off lately,â Valery snorted and said. âYou werenât like this when you were a Watchman.â
âHey, you donât even know how miserable I was in the past three years,â Gerald said. âI had to get up early and go to bed late almost every day. I worked hard on construction sites for those three years. When I came home, I had to cook. So I have to take the time to make up for it now.â
âDonât talk nonsense. Go away. We want to watch TV,â Valery said.
Gerald touched his nose. He ran to wash up, then frowned and asked, âWhat are your arrangements today?â
âNo arrangements,â Valery said indifferently. âI used the Refreshing Treatment yesterday and needed to spend some time recuperating. Iâve already told Troy that I wonât be on night duty for now.â
Gerald nodded and said, âBy the way, how long will Ingridâs matter last?â
âRight now, weâre still tracking Saulâs whereabouts. If it goes well, this thing can basically be over.
Itâs just that the problem with Dax is a little tricky right now,â Valery said.
Gerald sighed and said, âAlright then. You guys watch TV. Iâll go out.â
âAre you going to meet a girl?â Macy said with a smile.
âMacy, donât talk nonsense. You all know that Dr. Manning is the only woman in my heart,â Gerald hurriedly said.
Valery threw a pillow at Gerald and snorted, âGet lost!â.
Gerald smiled bitterly. He rubbed his nose and walked out of the door.
After walking out of the door, he took out his phone and called Leandro.
The call was quickly picked up. Leandro asked happily, âWhatâs wrong? Do you want to know about the situation in Sacramento? Let me tell you, the Kenneth family is about to go bankrupt. Their assets have been greatly reduced, and many people are grabbing their market. The Zumthor family couldnât withstand it and went bankrupt a few days ago. Henley and his mother have already fled abroad.â
Gerald said, âItâs not that. I called you because I have something to tell you. The movie you invested in before, which is Adrianaâs movie.â
âI know. I followed your arrangements and asked them to arrange a second female lead for her. Whatâs wrong? Has she slept with you? Do you want her to be the female lead?â Leandro asked.
âFuck off!â Gerald didnât know what to say. âNo, there is a deputy director called Zane Dobson in their crew. This guy wanted to rape Adriana yesterday. You should deal with him properly.â
âHe actually dared to touch your woman. I will make him suffer,â Leandro sneered and said. âDonât worry. Just leave it to me.â
After hanging up the phone, Gerald called Kerr. Soon, the phone was connected. On the other side of the line, Kerr picked up the phone and said, âGerald, you actually call me!â
On the other side of the line, it was a little noisy.
âBoy, you are bold,â Gerald said. âYour grandfather just recovered yesterday, and youâre out having fun today.â
Kerr quickly said, âNo, I am discussing business with my friend. I am planning to invest in a movie!â
It would be strange if Gerald believed him. Gerald curled his lips and said, âDo you still remember Cassidy Birrell?â
âYes,â Kerr said. âWhatâs wrong?â
âShe is now with a person called Cassius Tucker. I want to ban her. Can you do it?â Gerald asked.
âBan her? Gerald, she is my exâgirlfriend,â Kerr said and scolded. âDamn it, she actually hooked up with Cassius so quickly!â
Gerald asked, âDo you know Cassius?â
âYes. In front of Washington Great Four, Cassius is a coward. In the words of Colby, Cassius was beaten up by us since childhood,â Kerr said proudly.
âI donât care about it, but I hope that Cassidy can completely disappear from the entertainment industry. This kind of woman is so hypocritical,â Gerald said.
Kerr thought for a moment, then nodded and said, âWell, I will try my best. In the entertainment industry, Washington Great Four have a lot of power.â
Kerr said, âHowever, you must not tell my sister and my grandfather about me coming out today.â
âArenât you talking about business?â Gerald touched his nose and said.
âYes, I am talking about business!â Kerr smiled and said. âBy the way, Gerald, it is said that there will be big things in the underground casino at night. People from the underground world will go to practice boxing. Do you want to come?â
It was not strange for these big shots in Washington to know about the underground world. In their home, there were even many people from the underground world as bodyguards.
Gerald touched his nose and asked, âBoxing? The people from the underground world? Why?â
âIt seems that other than the appearance fee, there is another award at night. It seems to be called Dragon Bone!â Kerr said. âI donât know the details.â
Gerald was stunned. âBone? Are you sure?â
âWhen I went there yesterday, the staff there said so. No one knows what that bone is, but it is said that it attracted two top boxers to participate in the competition,â Kerr said.
Gerald frowned.
This underground casino had a bone!
Gerald felt that this should not be as simple as just making a profit.
He pondered and asked, âDo you know who is behind this underground casino?â
âHow could I know?â Kerr curled his lips and said. âMy grandfather doesnât even know. The owner seems to be called Mr. Berkeley. He used to be a gangster. After he built this underground casino, he never showed up.â
Mr. Berkeley?
In the underground world, there was no such person.
This underground casino was actually known by Watchmen. The person behind it was indeed very mysterious and almost never showed up. Even Watchmen could not find out his background.
âAll right, Iâll go with you tonight. Youâll have to come to pick me up,â Gerald said.
âOkay!â Kerr smiled and said. âTonight, we will be Washington Great Five!â
Hearing this, Gerald felt a chill in his heart. He quickly hung up the phone, then took a cab and rushed to the Lam family!
He planned to ask Abraham if there were any bones in the Lam family.
For Gerald, this was the most direct way for him to improve.
In a film studio in Washington.
There were a lot of sunshades in Adrianaâs crew, and under the umbrella of the male lead and female lead, there were many people waiting on them.
Since it was a bigâbudget production, the male lead and female lead were absolutely top actors, including the second male lead, which was also very popular.
In comparison, Adriana, who had been silent for a few years, now appeared in this crew and acted as the female lead, which surprised many people in the crew.
At the same time, there was no assistant besides Adriana. She was sitting on the side in a thick costume, waiting for the shoot.
At this moment, a person wearing a directorâs uniform came to Adrianaâs side with a script. This person was Zane.
Seeing him come closer, Adriana suddenly quivered slightly.
âAre you serious? Who do you think you are? Bitch. Stop pretending to be innocent!â Zane walked to Adrianaâs side and sneered.
Adrianaâs expression changed slightly.
Zane continued, âWell, you donât really want to sleep with me, do you? Do you think Iâm old? It doesnât matter. Have you seen Dereon?â
Dereon Blaney was the male lead of this drama and the current top star.
âHe asked you to study the script in his room tonight,â Zane said. âOf course, you donât have to go, but you have to bear the consequences. You know Dereon brought us the investment. He could easily find another woman to replace you. You donât have many scenes to shoot right now.â
