Chapter 42: Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Don’t Meddle in the Matter It seemed to be over just like that. Hazel did not mention anything and gave the credit to Bradley.

Gideon also warned others not to make it public.

In the eyes of those who knew Gerald, he was still who he was, a loser who worked in the construction field and was cheated on by his ex–wife. Surely, a few people knew that Gerald had a logistics company in Los Angeles.

And now, Gerald was just Audrey’s assistant.

After lunch, Audrey had to go back to work. In fact, her work was very easy. She just needed to read some documents and sign them.

Audrey would think of ways to assign some tasks to Gerald, like buying coffee and other trivial matters.

When Gerald was happy, he would do it, or he would just lie on the sofa and spend time on his phone. Audrey would complain about Gerald and say that she hired a loser, but she would not be angry.

If the Blood Lotus didn’t want to attack Audrey at any time, Gerald’s job would be very easy.

Moreover, Gerald could get five percent of the shares of Forever Group.

Gerald felt a little bored during the whole afternoon. He sat on the sofa and even felt his butt hurt.

At four o’clock in the afternoon, in a suite of the most luxurious hotel near the White Elephant Tower, Red Rose was sitting in front of the window. She wore a translucent red dress with red lips and a glass of wine in her hand. As she looked out of the window at the river view, Red Rose looked very charming.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

Red Rose was making a phone call to Blue Card Assassin Jaydin.

“Alas, what a loser. I asked him to help me find prey, but now he dares not answer my phone,” Red Rose said with a murderous look.

Behind her stood a middle–aged man with a crew cut. Hearing Red Rose’s words, he said, “With Jaydin’s rank, he would never dare not answer your call. Now that he has not answered, I’m afraid there is only one result. He may be in danger.”

“Have you found Lincoln’s body?” Red Rose asked.

“Yes, I found it. He was killed, and the killer was much more powerful than Lincoln.” The person behind Red Rose said, “This means that the killer is likely to be in the top ten of the Watchmen. Of course, someone else on the killer list might do it. After all, the reward is great in Sin City.”

“What about Bradley? What did he say?” Red Rose asked.

“He’s under control. The target is still Audrey, but...” At this point, the person behind Red Rose said thoughtfully, “During this period, Watchmen have been in Los Angeles. We didn’t have a chance to make a move.”

“In addition...” That person pondered for a moment and said, “A few days ago, two people died in Sacramento. They joined in the battle three years ago. Now I suspect that it was done by the missing Watchman No. O or No. 2.”

Red Rose touched her lips with her finger, and the man behind her swallowed his saliva.

“Alright, I won’t interfere with Bradley’s matter. You can decide on your own. After all, he is not a big shot. Although Lincoln died, you still have two Red Card Assassins and four Blue Card Assassins. It is not hard for you to avoid the Night Watch.” Red Rose said faintly, “The purpose of my visit to Los Angeles this time is to see if I can find anything about the box. The box was taken away by Watchman No. o.”

“You mean Watchman No. o may not be dead?” The man behind Red Rose changed his expression slightly. “And he is still in Los Angeles?”

The man feared!

Three years ago, that person brought great fear to their organization. He had even caused their leader, Franklin, to not dare to appear until now.

At that time, Gerald said that he would behead Franklin.

Without confirming Gerald was dead, Franklin did not dare to appear.

This was Gerald, who had once made the entire underworld fear.

“Who knows?” Red Rose licked her lips and said, “In fact, such a man is worth pursuing. If I can sleep with him, I am afraid that it will be very good.”

After that, she turned around and said, “You can leave now. If there is nothing else, do not disturb me. Also, do not let others know that I’ve been in Los Angeles.”

At half past four in the afternoon, the door to Audrey’s office was pushed open. Two beautiful women walked inside. They were Doreen and Penny.

“I’ll get off work soon.” Audrey said with a smile, “Wait a moment.”

Doreen and Penny saw Gerald. Penny frowned and asked, “Why are you here? Audrey, didn’t I tell you not to deal with Gerald? He was once a rapist.”

Gerald frowned. He looked up at Penny and said, “It’s none of your business.”

“Hmph, I just want Audrey to know who you are.” Penny sneered.

Gerald had no impression of Penny. She should have been a friend Doreen had after Gerald left Sacramento.

Audrey saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said, “Penny, he is the assistant my dad hired for me, and I feel that he is not bad. Don’t worry.”

Penny hurriedly said, “He looks like he has changed himself. Who knows what he is thinking? The rapist will not put the cards on the table.”

Gerald was displeased by Penny’s words. He looked up and said, “Don’t worry. If you get naked in front of me and beg me to sleep with you, I won’t touch you.”

“You!” Penny blushed and said angrily, “How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?”

“It’s none of my business who you are,” Gerald curled his lips and said.

“You...” Penny was furious and glared at Gerald.

She was ignored by Gerald.

Audrey soon changed the topic. “By the way, where is Henley? Why didn’t he come with you?”

“He went to Fletcher.” Doreen also changed the topic and said, “Fletcher said that he wanted to buy us a meal. You know, I don’t like him very much, so I didn’t go over.”

After that, Doreen looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, I have something to tell you alone.”

Penny anxiously said, “Doreen, don’t be alone with this person. Your cousin was harmed by him.”

“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” Doreen looked at her.

Gerald ignored Penny and followed Doreen outside.

When they arrived at a quiet place in the company, Doreen frowned and said, “Gerald, you went too far just now. Penny is a Durant. Now, you’ve finally found a good job here. Don’t lose it because of a slip of the tongue. With Penny’s family background, it is very easy for her father to fire you.”

After that, Doreen continued, “But don’t worry. Penny and I have a good relationship. I will comfort her later, and it will be over.”

Gerald sneered and shrugged indifferently.

Seeing Gerald like this, Doreen frowned and said, “Gerald, don’t be depressed. Although you can’t return to the Kenneth’s place, you can still live better than many ordinary people here. Since you’re back, just be good and behave yourself.”

Gerald sighed. Obviously, Doreen didn’t believe him. She thought that what happened back then was indeed done by him. Nine years had passed, and it had faded away a little.

He no longer explained anything. Gerald frowned and said, “Did you come to me for this?”

“No, I thought about it when I went back after talking to you that day.” Doreen said, “Actually, you had a thing for me back then. I could feel it. After all, I’m a girl, and I’m sensitive.”

Gerald was speechless.

At this time, Doreen said, “But you have to understand that we can’t be together. That day, you said that you could help. I thought about it for a while and felt that I should tell you. Don’t meddle in the matter between me and Henley. It’s not easy to get out.

Don’t do anything wrong because of me and be in jail again. Although I’m unwilling to be with Henley, I can live a rich life with him in the future. He also agreed that he wouldn’t get involved in my life.”
