Chapter 219 Did We Allow You to Sit Here?
Gerald looked at Clare in surprise and said, “You reminded me?”
“Humph.” Clare snorted. “I also feel sorry for what happened to you. I think that you are not so bad. In short, you should be careful. I will go first.”
Clare said this and walked upstairs.
After seeing her leave, Ingrid asked, “Do you have a conflict with the Dobbin family? Darian seems to have something to do with my grandfather. They are from the same era.”
Gerald nodded and said, “Yes. It doesn’t matter. They better not provoke me. If they really want to
provoke me, huh!”
He smiled, and then the two of them followed Clare up.
Soon, Gerald and Ingrid took the elevator to the entrance of a banquet hall. After Ingrid handed in the invitation letter, they walked into the banquet hall.
In the banquet hall, there were not many people. There were only four tables. In addition, there was
a relatively large stage. It seemed that there would be a performance on stage.
After entering the room, Ingrid walked toward an old man.
The old man had white hair, but he was quite strong. He sat there straight.
“Derick,” Ingrid smiled sweetly while coming up to him.
Gerald’s gaze fell on the other two people at the table. One of them was Darrell, and the other was
Darian.
Darrell and Darian also noticed Gerald. Their gaze turned sullen.
“Ingrid,” Derick smiled and patted Ingrid’s head. “Your grandfather always avoids me. He has been
beaten up
and scared by me since he was a child, so it’s normal that he doesn’t dare to see me. Go
back and tell your grandfather that I will go to him another day.”
Ingrid smiled slightly, “My grandfather also said that you had been beaten up by him every day
when you were a child.”
Beside them, Gerald felt a little amused. He found that the older people were, the more they looked
like children.
The old men in Night Watch often discussed this matter. They argued about who was stronger in the past. Sometimes, they would get angry and fight.
“Who is this?” As he spoke, Derick pointed at Gerald and smiled slightly, “Is he your boyfriend?”
́Ingrid’s face turned red. “No. He is my friend.”
Gerald hurried forward and bowed, saying, “Hello, Mr. Jackson. I am Ingrid’s friend. I came with her this time to see the world.”
Derick looked at Gerald in surprise.
Beside him, Darrell smiled slightly, “Gerald, you want to see the world. This is Derick’s birthday banquet. You didn’t come empty–handed, did you?”
Gerald frowned slightly. Ingrid hurriedly said, “Gerald’s gift has been sent by Eddie.”
Eddie nodded and said, “Yes, I have already given it to you when I came up. Mr. Locke, we know the basic rules of etiquette.”
Darrell frowned and did not say anything else.
Beside him, Darian laughed coldly, “Derick, Gerald came to your birthday banquet. I’m afraid it’s not too good. This kid stayed in prison for nine years. After leaving prison, he was ruthless to his family. He directly helped Leandro push the Kenneth family to the verge of collapse.”
The matter of the Kenneth family could be said to have shocked the entire country. It had also caused quite a stir in Washington.
The key point was that this girl was extremely pretty, almost on par with Ingrid. The most important thing was that she had great curves.
“Ingrid, you are finally here,” she smiled slightly and walked up. Then she glanced at Gerald next to Ingrid and asked with a faint smile, “This is your boyfriend?”
Ingrid blushed and said, “Leana, don’t talk nonsense.”
Then Ingrid introduced Gerald and Leana to each other. “This is Leana. She’s Derick’s
granddaughter and a top–level Watchman. She’s very awesome! Kerr and my brother don’t dare to provoke Leana. This is Gerald, my friend.”
Gerald looked at Leana in surprise. Being able to reach the top level at this age was indeed very
good.
Leana revealed a hint of pride on her face, but when she discovered that Gerald was not too
surprised, her eyebrows slightly twitched. She said, “You also practice martial arts?”
“Yes,” Gerald said with a smile.
“Oh,” Leana said. “You can sit at the table next to ours. We are all girls, and I want to have a good talk with Ingrid.”
When she said this, Leana directly hooked her arm around Ingrid’s neck.
Gerald touched his nose and walked towards another table. This table was full of men. Koen also sat there.
The moment Gerald entered the room, Koen noticed Gerald. At this time, Koen was talking to
Landen Lester, a man with a buzz cut next to him. After seeing Gerald come over, Koen revealed a
smile.
When Gerald pulled out the chair and sat down, Landen gave a faint smile and said, “Did we allow you to sit here?”
