Chapter 241 Are They Going to Attack?
Brandon was stunned. He looked at Ingrid and then said, âIngrid, 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?â
Ingrid glanced at him indifferently and then said to Gerald, âGerald, I am sorry. Donât take it personally.â
When Brandon saw Ingrid apologize to Gerald, he was pissed off.
At the same time, Eddie walked over and asked, âWhat happened?â
Seeing Eddie, Brandon immediately said, âEddie, you must do me justice. Ms. Maddox is going to fire me for the sake of the Wisdom Group. Thatâs ridiculous, isnât it?â
Hearing so, Eddie frowned. Then he said to Brandon, âNow pack up your stuff and get lost!â
Gerald was now responsible for Ingridâs 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.
âMe!â Brandon was stunned to see Eddie angry.
As an old employee of the Maddox family, he knew Eddieâs status in the Maddox family.
âGet lost!â Eddie roared. He was not as negotiable as Ingrid.
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, âGerald, donât take it personally.â
âItâs fine.â Gerald waved his hand and said, âNow since it is settled, itâs alright. Catherine, go on communicating with them.â
Catherine nodded!
Gerald walked towards Ingridâs 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, âYou are Watchman No. 0.
Is it fun bullying ordinary people?â
âIf you think this is me bullying him, then I have nothing to say. He was slandering me.â Gerald shrugged his shoulders and said, âAnd I didnât say anything else than point out his problem.â
Leana curled her lips and said, âBut 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.â
After that, she walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked at Gerald and asked, âAre 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...â
âStop.â Gerald waved his hand and said, âI wonât agree with this matter. Moreover... There are a lot of topâlevel watchmen on my team. You will be a burden if you are in!â
Leana was speechless.
âDonât lie to me. I am at the top level. According to my understanding of Night Watch, there are not that many topâlevel Watchmen,â Leana mumbled, âAnd when they appear, all teams want them.â
âSorry, there are a lot of them on my team. I mean it,â 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.
âI donât believe it!â Leana did not believe Geraldâs words at all.
Gerald didnât bother himself to explain. When Leana saw Geraldâs 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 sheâd 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, âWhat would you like to eat?â
Ingrid grinned and said, âLeana thought that only a fancy restaurant could match your identity. I told Mr. Audley that Iâd be back at the company later in the afternoon. So... Letâs go to Harmony Restaurant!â
Gerald asked in surprise, âHarmony Restaurant? Is it very good?â
âIt is similar to Splendor Restaurant in Sacramento. It is the best restaurant in Washington. We have to go there quickly.
Otherwise, we wonât be able to get a table,â Ingrid said.
âDo they dare to ask you to wait, Ms. Maddox?â Leana curled her lips and said.
Leana was driving and Gerald was sitting in the back. The car was slowly moving forward.
âHuh?â 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.
Although both of them were skilled, they didnât learn antiâreconnaissance. 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, thatâs not a bad thing if we can handle Saul smoothly!
At the same time, an employee of Ingridâs studio was driving behind them while making a call!
âHello!â Soon, a voice came from the other side of the line.
âHello, boss!â The employee said, âIngrid has gone out. Eddie is not with her.â
âReally?â An excited voice sounded from the other side of the line. Then, he said, âNo, ever since Night Watch informed the Maddox family, Eddie seldom left Ingrid. Why is she suddenly alone? Is it a trap?â
âI donât think so,â Ingridâs employee said. âShe is with Mr. Jacksonâs 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 Ingridâs company. He looks like an ordinary employee.â
âOrdinary employee?â On the other side of the line, the excited voice said, âAre you sure?â
âIt should be!â Ingridâs employee repeated.
âWell, no matter what, Eddie is not with them. Itâs a chance. Go on watching them and see where they go. Then send me the address. I am calling on people right away!â said the person on the phone.
At the same time, on the other hand, Gerald was texting Valery and other people, smiling.
âI think Blood Lotus and Dark Phantom are going to attack Ingrid.â Gerald typed: âShe, Leana, and I are now heading to Harmony Restaurant. Leana invited me to lunch and Ingrid is also with us.â
Valery quickly replied: âNoon? Are you sure they will attack at noon?â
âIâm not sure!â Gerald typed indifferently: âSo you donât have to make things too complicated. If they are to do it at noon, they canât 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 canât do anything.â
Valery nodded and replied: âAiright, we will be there at once!â
Just as Gerald was texting, Ingrid, who was sitting in the passenger seat, could not help but turn her head and say, âGerald, what are you doing? Why arenât you saying anything? Are you texting girls?â
This little girl seemed to have no sense of crisis at all. Gerald smiled and said, âNothing. I was bored, so I checked my phone.â
At the same time, he was constantly looking backward. That car was still following them closely.
