Chapter 96 The Temporary Base of Night Watch
“I called Ms. Lange. She said that she would fix it,” Gerald said, touching his nose.
Lilia suddenly quieted down, including Jolie. They all looked at Gerald in shock.
Lilia’s voice was heavy with sarcasm. “Gerald, do you think it’s funny? You’re going to tell us later that you don’t have time, right?”
Beep, beep, beep…
At this time, Drake’s phone suddenly rang. Drake quickly picked up his phone and looked at it. He picked up the call and said, “Hello.”
“Hello, this is Goldsun Group. Just now, Ms. Lange saw the information you handed over. He wants to meet you at the company at ten o’clock tomorrow morning. Do you have time?” A pleasant girl’s voice sounded from the phone.
“Yes, yes!” Drake hurriedly said.
After hanging up the phone, Drake looked at Gerald, then looked at Lilia and said, “Lilia, Goldsun Group said that they have seen the information I handed over. They are willing to meet me tomorrow morning!”
Yazmin and Mason looked happy. Yazmin hurriedly smiled and said, “Look, Gerald really knows Ms. Lange. We are all family. If we can help you, we will definitely do that.
You have to trust us.”
Gerald was speechless. If he were not considering his parents’ feelings, he would not
help at all.
Drake smiled at first, then stood up and said, “Mason, you seem to be mistaken. Just now, Goldsun Group said that Ms. Lange looked at my information and asked me to meet her. It seems that it has nothing to do with Gerald. As Lilia said, Gerald has been in prison for nine years. With your help, he entered Goldsun Group. I don’t believe that he has such connections. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Coincidentally, Gerald pretended to make a phone call and Ms. Lange saw my information.”
Lilia hurriedly nodded. “That’s right. Ms. Lange was willing to meet after seeing Drake’s information. It proves that they are optimistic about Drake’s project. Stop pretending here.”
“Yes. Did you just say we are family? It’s fine if you are not willing to help, but you are lying to us,” Lilia said. “I’m going to introduce a blind date to Gerald. Forget it. When Drake gets the investment of Goldsun Group and succeeds, he will marry Jolie. When the time comes, you will come and beg us to help you!”
Gerald narrowed his eyes and looked at Drake. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
Yazmin and Mason’s expressions changed slightly. Mason sighed and said, “Forget it. I don’t want to explain it.”
“Humph!” Lilia got up, pulled Jolie, and said, “Jolie, Drake, let’s go!”
With that, the three of them turned and left the room.
Jolie didn’t even say a word, but she looked at Gerald with a strange expression.
After they left, Yazmin looked at Gerald suspiciously and asked, “Gerald, were you pretending to call just now or…”
Gerald spread his hands and said, “Dad, Mom, don’t you know? I went to work at Universe Group by myself. Lilia and the others thought that we were just acting. What can I do? I did get to know Ms. Lange by chance. Our relationship is not bad. Just now,
called her, and she agreed.”
Gerald frowned and said, “There is something wrong with Drake. We can’t let Jolie
continue to be with him.”
He took out his phone and said, “I will call Jessica and ask her to cancel the meeting
with Drake.”
Yazmin quickly said, “Gerald, forget it. If Lilia knows about it, she will probably completely fall out with us.”

Gerald frowned. He knew that his parents treasured their family too much. Gerald did not want to go against his parents, so he sighed slightly and put away his phone. Gerald
replied, “Alright.”
Yazmin said, “By the way, the day after tomorrow is your grandmother’s 80th birthday. Ever since you had an accident, your grandmother has been talking about you. After you came back, you didn’t have the chance to go and see her. We can go together the day
after tomorrow.”
Mason nodded and answered, “I will go to Mr. Hanson tomorrow to ask for a day off. Then I will give you some money and buy some gifts for your grandmother.”
Gerald thought of his grandmother and smiled.
