Chapter 241 Are They Going to Attack?
Brandon was stunned. He looked at Ingrid and then said, “Ingrid, 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?”
Ingrid glanced at him indifferently and then said to Gerald, “Gerald, I am sorry. Don’t take it personally.”
When Brandon saw Ingrid apologize to Gerald, he was pissed off.
At the same time, Eddie walked over and asked, “What happened?”
Seeing Eddie, Brandon immediately said, “Eddie, you must do me justice. Ms. Maddox is going to fire me for the sake of the Wisdom Group. That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?”
Hearing so, Eddie frowned. Then he said to Brandon, “Now pack up your stuff and get lost!”
Gerald was now responsible for Ingrid’s 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.
“Me!” Brandon was stunned to see Eddie angry.
As an old employee of the Maddox family, he knew Eddie’s status in the Maddox family.
“Get lost!” Eddie roared. He was not as negotiable as Ingrid.
After that, he looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, don’t take it personally.”
“It’s fine.” Gerald waved his hand and said, “Now since it is settled, it’s alright. Catherine, go on
communicating with them.”
Catherine nodded!
Gerald walked towards Ingrid’s 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, “You are Watchman No. 0. Is it fun bullying ordinary people?”
“If you think this is me bullying him, then I have nothing to say. He was slandering me.” Gerald shrugged his shoulders and said, “And I didn’t say anything else than point out his problem.”
Leana curled her lips and said, “But 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.”
After that, she walked to the sofa and sat down. She looked at Gerald and asked, “Are 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…”
“Stop.” Gerald waved his hand and said, “I won’t agree with this matter. Moreover… There are a lot of top–level watchmen on my team. You will be a burden if you are in!”
Leana was speechless.
“Don’t lie to me. I am at the top level. According to my understanding of Night Watch, there are not that many top–level Watchmen,” Leana mumbled, “And when they appear, all teams want them.”
“Sorry, there are a lot of them on my team. I mean it,” 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.
“I don’t believe it!” Leana did not believe Gerald’s words at all.
Gerald didn’t bother himself to explain. When Leana saw Gerald’s 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 she’d 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.
